Nytrosfinder Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Is there an aftermathet ECU available for WD21's? Like does MSD make one or something like that? Or is flashing the stock ECU the only way to get performance from the ignition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Is there an aftermathet ECU available for WD21's? Like does MSD make one or something like that? Jim Wolf technology can re-program your ecu, I think you can do it thru 4x4 parts too.Or is flashing the stock ECU the only way to get performance from the ignition? the re-programed of "flashed" ecu's have a differant fuel map but I don't think there are any timimg enhancements. the only way to get better igniton would be to install an MSD igniton box.

Nytrosfinder Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 I am just trying to find out if there is a way to build some power through electronics vs a mechanical means..... Anyone know if they make like super chips for pathfinders? cause i know that they make performance chips for most vehicles..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean like a modifier, as in this thing... http://www.superchips.com/product_images/p...ge_image-73.jpg Suprisingly enough... that one is for the newest pathfinders actually...

Nissan ecu's don't like piggy back's. The self learning features will typically negate a good deal of any changes you would make anyway. Almost all piggy backs alter the maf voltage to make adjustments which throws off the timing curve. Reflashing the ecu is the best practice, but still requires someone with competence to have set it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 There are no cheap, easy bolt-on mods that produce a substantial amount of gains in engine power or torque. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any claim to do so is a load of BS. I love the 'chips' on ebay that for ony $5 give you +40 HP and +20 MPG at the same time! What a load of crap!

SteeevO Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) http://ruggedrocksoffroad.com/they sell something you might be interested. they send your ecu to be flashed Yup, http://ruggedrocksoffroad.com/jet-import-e...995-p-3887.html no one sells a chip that you can just plug in because the chip in the ECU is soldered to the board. JET unsolders it, puts in a socket then gets another chip and programs it for your truck depending on the specs and any other modificatios done to your motor. If you are planning on doing cams intake exahust etc... do all that FIRST, then send in your ECU. Edited May 28, 2009 by SteeevO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CO94LEV6 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Nytrosfinder... I just asked the same question. My last project car had several guys that sold chips that you put into the ecu. And they were originally soldered from the factory. You just use a desoldering gun and remove the old chip, resolder a socket for the new chip, plug it in and you are done. It was not the BS chips they sold on ebay, but were truly reprogramed with different fuel curves to get more power. They also removed the speed limiter that was programmed into the ecu to prevent you from going too fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know your talking a different car but why would you need that with a Pathfinder? For the most part at least, we are not building/driving touring cars?
