thanks for taking the time to post these things up along with pics. keep doing what you are doing, I like creativity. Sometimes it isn't worth it but it can be fun if that is the sort of thing you like to figure out, I actually enjoy stuff like this and having to think a little. I see so much potential with this setup and a big turbo ve setup, same as a standalone but hey if it works and ends up being cheaper, woohoo......another option.

I never said anything about anybody or the shop because I don't know them. I was simply refering to hack jobs that have been done before by other people. NOt aimed at anyone, go back and read my post and you will understand.

Also if they were making unvelievable power by using this I would be all over it but why take a chance on something else breaking when you can make this power by using a true nissan setup? I have a simple philosiphy KISS (keep it simple stupid) and it usually works for me.

I was just speaking in general. I was saying that I dont think this will be a hack job since IF this does turn out to be a sweet breakthrough people will be wanting to know how to do it right (do it right do it light, do it wrong do it long). And I was letting everyone know that these guys are very smart and I'm very confident in thier abilities. Hence why I trust them with my car (if you knew me, you would know I dont like anyone besides a couple people touching my car).
But this is a pioneer thing so to say, so of course there will be nay sayers and that will come along with anything new. I think that if this works it could be a great thing

I still stick to my previous comment. I know the labor on this has to be costly plus all the parts that need to be purchased. I say just buy a standalone at this point. Hell you can run the OEM harness with an AEM and the tuning advantages are far superior to any OEM ECU.

I just got my VE last night back from them with the Honda ECU wired up. The car feels amazing compared to before.

Main reasons for me doing this:
I have been waiting for Calum to get me a R/T ecu since October.. all he says is call back, call back plus my friend has had the worst time getting the right eprom chips from him for his RWD SR setup in his 240Z.
The software that Calum uses is so friggin old and outdated
The tuning capabilities are 10x better than any other setup for the money
AEM would cost how much? Maybe $1200.00 plug install? Tuning would be outrageous at least around these parts.

Overall I am very happy with this setup so far.
Before:
DE MAF, DE ECU, base timing was set at about 24*, had to flip a switch I wired up myself to activate VVL
After:
P28 ECU, P28 Dist? - Peak HP is the same, power comes on stronger and harder than before. I have to look at the Dyno overlay again but I make probably another 10WHP from 4500 to 6500RPM.

Congrats. It is an interesting conversion and should work pretty good for future builds too.

That is your buddies problem... Calum does NOT sell tunes. He only provides bases to help out some... Your buddy needs to man up and go get tuned like you did with the honda ecu.

The software that Calum uses is so friggin old and outdated


WTF are you talking about? The software he uses is still being developed... He and I talked about the new Beta version of TunerPro and some of the new features. We also discussed Nistune which is also still in beta stages... /Software he actually uses.
