Yes please do! Thanks

Stock exhaust dyno. I think the boost would have come on a bit sooner if you had a better exhaust.

ANMVQ · 04-21-2014, 08:31 AM

Very NICE for stock exhaust, Great job

Thanks Cosmo, yeah I agree. I will be seeking out an exhaust soon. But I'm pretty happy so far! Planning on doing a full review when I get some time I've been busy since I got back Sunday.

Thanks.. The power is unreal. Completely changes the car.. Well when you hit boost anyway

MidnightBlueZ · 05-20-2014, 06:40 PM

What's up guys? Just thought I'd check in a give an update! I've been pretty busy with work and such since I got back from VSR in Tampa. I've got a custom 3" exhaust in the works so we will see how that helps the car with the current tune! It's funny how quiet the car is with stock exhaust.. Almost too quiet until the wastegate opens up haha! I still plan on doing a little review with some vids and stuff in the near future. Other then that the car has been doing well minus some very minor kinks. I'm trying to diagnose why my VVEL is making noise which can be frustrating. All in all I love this kit, I get nothing but compliments when I pop the hood. Well that's it for now hopefully I'll be back soon with a full review!

MidnightBlueZ · 06-06-2014, 08:22 AM

Finally found a Nissan dealer willing to plug into my car with consult to hopefully get rid of this tick noise I've been hearing. Dealers here are real hesitant to work on any modified vehicles. Anyway, I'm crossing my fingers that this will fix my issue. Sounds like the VVEL is out of sync or off under light throttle/idle. In other news, I got my new exhaust fabbed up and sounding mean. I'll post some pics of it later. Now she can really breathe!

Kojack · 06-06-2014, 09:29 AM

Sounds good, if I'm not mistaken I think it's need to get retune for your new exhaust since it's flowing more air and possible to run a little lean . Anyone can correct me?

MidnightBlueZ · 06-06-2014, 10:51 AM

Well, it didn't fix the noise. Updated the ECU and basically flashed it to stock but in the process changed the ECM part number. Now I cant reload my tune because it doesnt see the license either on the ECM or my cable. GREAT! Now I'm waiting for help from UpRev but I'm SOL at the moment.

ANMVQ · 06-06-2014, 12:00 PM

I just read you where going to the dealer

, . As you know the ECU ID is different now, So the car is stuck at the dealer or did you tow it home? I've been waiting 2 weeks for a cable and a license from them

Yes, I'm stuck at the dealer waiting on the tow truck. Can't get in touch with them so I can imagine your frustration. Although they sent me a cable quick not long ago. Wish I had read the FAQ on their website about ecu updates. Wouldn't have came in. On top of that my problem isn't gone and I have a new problem.

ANMVQ · 06-06-2014, 01:55 PM

Yea sorry man, trust me I know how you feel with your baby at the dealer waiting on a tow truck , I shuttled mine around on trucks off and on for 8 months.

MidnightBlueZ · 06-06-2014, 02:07 PM

Wow man.. that sounds like a long painful journey. I am in contact with Mike at UpRev so hopefully he can get me going but even then I'm just back to where I was before I left the house today lol. Can't help but feel like my engine is a ticking time bomb. Kinda kicking myself for going down this road. Feel like I wasn't really prepared for it like I thought. It's a blast but its also an expensive headache.

MidnightBlueZ · 06-06-2014, 02:15 PM

Plus after replacing my oil feed line and exhaust I'm still getting smoke out the back. My oil level doesn't seem to drop or burn. So.. either I have a bad seal on the turbo which I'm not sure I do after disconnecting the downpipe and it being dry as well as the charge side. Now I'm thinking I have a bigger issue engine related. Its just weird cause the car drives or drove fine minus the chatter noise.

MidnightBlueZ · 06-06-2014, 04:00 PM

Here are some pics of the exhaust and one of the front end without the bumper on. Thought I popped a coupler one day ended up being a MAF issue/code and I melted my under tray some after going down the road on a test drive. Oh well..
