I love how it says "will not void your warranty" and yet you are changing fuel and timing without the benefit of a wide-band.


Personally, i would not run any "off the shelf" tune on any car I own. I know plenty of guys do it however

I'd stay away.

Sell blood a couple times and you'll have enough to get a real tune over that thing.

He is making fun of it (sarcasm).

A turbonator is a metal thing that goes in the intake and claims to make hp and increase gas mileage. It is snake oil, like this.

The problem with something like this is there is just an ebay fly by night company that you cannot go after if your engine detonates due to running too lean. I have no problem with and ebay intake or exhaust, but when you start messing with the ecu, beware. If you install this thing and it fries your ecu, you will spend alot more than a reputable company's ecu flash buying a new ecu.

These are the lowest price ECU tuning options I would look at:

http://www.cobbtuning.com/products/?id=3687

http://www.bullydog.com/advanced_search/

Flash only:

http://www.technosquareinc.com/nissanflashlist.htm

This is what I would get if it were me, Osiris from UpRev:

http://www.uprev.com/products.php

The first 2 are not much lower in price than the last, so I would save a little more and go for the last (UpRev). I am not sure how much a TechnoSquare flash is.

Let's put it this way...

When it comes to car modifications....you gotta pay to play. You get what you pay for.

Surfing Ebay for "cheap" mods usually falls right along those rules.
