Stillen Air to Air setup

TopgunZ · 12-17-2015, 02:47 PM

That's why I wanted you to try it with the stillen pipe to see what the mafs would do, but they had cut it. I figured it wasn't the pipe design after you tried it with the exact way I have it since my mafs are reading near identical. This is also why I was pointing and asking about the maf extension cables. Didn't they have to recut the wires? Are they sure they are 100% wired up right? I just don't understand how going back to the way stillen had it will fix anything at this point. If your mafs are not reading correctly now, by installing the old pipe and a water setup will not fix their readings. If you had them set up as a pull through today and they did not read correctly then it wont change anything by placing a sc in between them and the throttle bodies. Id look at those maf connections again.

I think this is all a blessing in disguise and you will be victorious very soon.

I thought it was the pipes causing the messed up voltage so that would go away if we changed it back. I now realize we would still have this problem.

Im guessing they have went through all connections entirely on the car. If you have a vvel clip not fully seated it will run very rough. I found that out myself.

JWillis72 · 12-17-2015, 02:58 PM

Where is the VVEL clip? We have checked the wires. They cut the old extensions out and soldered it back and all the colors match. The new extension have a male and female plug.

Run the throttle body relearn procedure and see if that helps. I have to reset my throttle and idle after my tuner flashes the Ecutek several times cuz it gets out of whack.

You know you spend too much time talking about cars when your iPhone autocorrects ECU to Ecutek

Ever since my 3rd or 4th flash with Ecutek my car has had really rough cold starts. Could this reset help that at all you think?

That I don't know but it definitely isn't going to hurt anything. I also don't know if this is a Nissan ECU issue or an UpRev issue. I haven't made the switch to Ecutek yet.

Yeah my old tuner gave up on me and said there was nothing else he could do to fix it. Sebastian is going to be giving it a shot pretty soon in addition to a few other problems I am having. Once it warms up it starts with no problems at all but cold starts are horrible.

I noticed in your Sig you were going with ID1000's and E85, same as I have. If you have already made the switch and the weather is getting cold then this is your issue. Cold weather on E85 will cause rough starts.

JWillis72 · 12-17-2015, 03:48 PM

I would try the reset, it can't hurt.

Google E85 starting in winter. Theres lots of info on it.

This is also why they change the "winter" blend from E85/E90 to E70. To help with cold weather starting.

TopgunZ · 12-17-2015, 04:23 PM

Right on.

Here you guys go if wondering.

Yeah there is no doubt it is much harder starting on E in cold weather. Have about 5-10 people around here that have that problem.
