Things I would like to see here as a tuner
A lot of people who are adding EFI to a carbureted vehicle or modifying a vehicle that has EFI are doing so because they want to install a power adder. Turbo or Blower.
To run these usually takes very specific code or ECU's. Only a handfull of the OEM codes will handle it. I would like to see a specific list of DIY solutions for boost tuning for each auto manufacturer mentioned.
I really like Code59 on the GM ecu's. Cheap and powerful. How about a list of vehicles that had usable ECU's for this? Memcal's to be collecting ?
Just my 2 cents. Happy to help out where I can. :D

Sounds like a good idea and since you seem to have some knowledge are you willing to take on this project? :mrgreen:

I think Six is probably up to speed already on the GM's - at the least he knows his code 59 hardware and he probably researched other options so let's ask him to do that part. If anyone else here has knowledge of a particular brand or platform in regards to adding EFI support for boost - let's have a show of hands - for the rest, sure I'll do some research on the common man's answer to boost tuning and post my findings if you like. I'll start with Ford since that's on my 'to do' list already ;)

I hadn't thought about adding info on the hardware side to my planned boost conversion write-up, but that is a great idea.

So Six - in your dealings with the Z-car guys do you have a handle on the common methods of managing boost on the Nissans ?
