"Bogging" in first gear

bushman66 · 07-01-2012, 01:06 AM

UPDATE: Installed the Z1 Motorsports 34 row cooler this morning. Also deleted the worthless POS factory "cooler" (seriously Nissan?) by removing it and looping the 2 hard coolant lines together with a piece of hose. Reused the factory Oil filter bung, it worked with the Z1 Thermostatic plate just fine. (This is not clear in the Z1 instructions, and they were a little confused as well when I called them...they told me I needed the oil filter bung from a 2009-2011).

Drove around this afternoon and evening (ambient air temps between 98-114). Car runs about 195-205 now, a ~35 degree drop from previous normal city driving (previously 225-235 normal oil temps).

I noticed the "Bog" is greatly diminished (but still present) which again points to Nissan's shitty ECU programming. Next step will be an UpRev tune (with cooling fan tune). Still not quite there yet, but the car is at least MUCH more driveable.

I'd seriously like to know where Nissan did their hot weather testing...Canada? There is NO chance they did hot weather testing here in AZ during the summer...or they have the WORST engineers on the planet...sheesh.
