no word from aesonvirus ???? did he blow his engine as well ?

 

hahaha. just a fyi, my bully dog is up for sale....(see marketplace for reasons)

 

Haven't even driven it yet.
I'll post once I get to work (if I get to work)!

 

Okay, I'm not going to write a long review on this just yet, since I've only put on about 50 miles since the update went in.
When I reset my MPG on the dash last night, it was sitting at 17.6. I do a mix of highway/city and spend 99.9% of my time in M mode. (I don't like how agressive the automatic mode is. Tap the gas and it downshifts and lurches forward)
I drove to work this morning and I took the back roads to work, avoiding the turnpike... I wanted to see if I saw a difference without mixing in pure highway miles. When I got to work this morning, I was at 19.2 MPG.

I have no idea just how much power this has found, but the butt dyno feels a change. The car pulls harder through the gears and I get to my shift points faster than I did before. I have no idea what that equates to yet, but Dynolicious may be in my near future.

No problems with tempature, but I am watching for negative changes very closely. I was sick to my stomach after reading this thread this morning, but everything is good in the hood for now

 

Aeson, take the rest of the day off from work and hit the dyno !!!!

 

what adjustments you made?

I have not noticed any difference in temperature after tuning (2 weeks ago roughly 300 miles) and I do push my car kinda hard

 

I just ran out for lunch and took a quick spin. The car is DEFINITELY faster... no placebo affect, no BS. The problem is that I don't know how much faster it is yet.

One thing I love about my exhaust is getting into 4th at about 30 and then hitting the gas to hear it grrrrrowl it's way up to speed as the rpm's climb.
I tried doing that today but the experience is different now. The car comes up to speed quicker so that growl doesn't last but a second now.

We definitely need to dyno one of these. I can't get to a dyno, but I may grab the iPhone app and give that a whirl.

Either way, as long as the engine doesn't overheat and fail, I'm a very happy camper.
I'm super pleased with the results, considering the low cost and ease of installation.

Can't wait to see my results once Ms Injen joins the family

 

I went with the Premium tune, set my timing to +2, set the top end to 177 and shift point to 7800.

 

what was you timing prior to the upgrade? -2 or 0?

 

My timing was set to 0.
I don't feel uncomfortable setting it to +2, since the dealer offers to do it as well (for a nominal fee, of course)

 

The fan coming on during install isnt exclusive just to the bullydog. when i had the Diablosport tuner on my Mustang the fan would come on when i was installing it everytime. I have my timing at +1 right now but i just remembered that the dealer does offer the +2 so im going to go ahead and up it when i get a chance

 

I believe it requires 93 Octane, but I run that anyway

 

Just wondering, I read through many of the pages now but I have to know before I grab one...

Is this tune going to affect me in any way warranty-wise?

I'm wondering if throwing this tune on, Infiniti will see it, and any problems relating to an engine code, they can blame on my "tampering with the ECU".

Has anyone considered this?

 

Yes.
First off, this is the risk you take with ANY ECU tune, not just BullyDog. There is always a risk of something happening and if it does, Infiniti needs to prove a direct link from tune to damage in order for the warranty to be void.
You can always go back to Stock tune anytime you want, so that's an option as well.

Anything you do to your car, can in one way or another, cause warranty issues.
Drops, intakes, turbos, tunes, heck.. even LEDs... they all bring a risk, depending on the issues you end up with.

 

nope not at all. unless they take your car out for a joy ride and see that you have more ballz and shift over 7500 rpm.
thats been discussed somewhere, but dealer will not now. when i take my car to dealer i set it back to stock with my cobb. esp when i shift now at 8500rpm.
