We got your back, fam. "Sorry Melissa, he's right - Nissan underpowered it from factory, he's just trying to repair some parasitic drivetrain losses."

Why spend that much money on a piece of kit. Get a Fast Intentions kit and be done with it. With all the crap you will have to put up with
you will spend less money on an FI kit.

Doesn't the engine have to come out for the FI kit?

Yes, but you do it once and you are done. No issues or warped flanges, etc. I hate having to mess with something. I don't tinker. Boost leak and exhaust leak issues all the time suck.

I decided to try out my ecutek launch control today. Found a nice secluded parking lot, and turned off traction control. My first launch was at 4000 rpm. It launched hard but immediately popped out of gear. I then set the launch at 3500 rpm and tried it again. This time, as soon I launched it, it spun the tires, started to get some wheel hop and popped put of gear again. I wonder if the way the linkage is set up on the coolerworx shifter that it pops out of gear when the trans get's jarred from a hard launch. I do have the Z1 poly mount.

The second launch, the slip and abs lights came on and it threw a P0117 code which I was able clear right away with ecutek dongle.

Good thing I didn't set this up to be a drag racer.

That's one of the things I don't like about the Coolworx shifter. It's mounted to the body, not the transmission. So any play in the mounts will show up at the shifter. The fix would be a solid tranny mount.

Try at a much lower rpm. Unless you have a good surface and hot tires it's kinda pointless but sti fun to play with
