yeah I hear ya. I bought my 240 back in April and it broke down in May. I didnt get to drive again until August. But boy I tell ya, boost is like night and day. I had never driven in a Force Fed/laughing gas car before. Now my 240 just takes off. NO A/C and it is hot so I drove the Alty. Talk about uninspiring..LOL
I don't see why turboing an altima would be so hard ? There are plenty of OBD 2 cars w/ turbos. I had a turbocharged Maxima, but I'm parting out to pay for my FX35. The ECU wasn't truly a problem it was the fuel tuning involved. I haven't taken a great look under the Altima, but I don't see why it isn't possible. I'm just thinking of Maxima S/C kits. How the 95-98 kits were MAF after the blower and 99-01 were draw thru before the blower. No one really had ECU problems. The early 95-96 and a few 97s were able to get aftermarket ECUs by G-Force or JWT. Rumor has it JWT has something for 98-01 Maxima owners, cant confirm or prove. I was reading even 'sds-efi' had built a custom system for a 99 S/C'd Maxima. I'm just not willing to shell out 1500 for management. Bad enuff I'm gonna be in debt for a long time w/ my FX. The altima is a blast to drive, even able to surprise a few worked Hondas. I have no mods except the HAI.
Another thing, $5000 seems a bit too high.
Thanks for your time.

problem with an altima under spray and possibly boost too is that under either one, ecu goes WAY RICH. it just starts dumping fuel and lots of it after 3500 rpms. there arent any turbo'd altimas that i know of on either coast, (in the .net community actually) that are running obd2, problem free. some of the dudes i know that ARE contemplating it, have asked me to give them a list of necessary items to convert from obd2 to 1. that will solve their problems, but when you look at the overall cost already, its an even bigger bill to pay...
yeah, he tried a different method than i was talking about... he was trying to wire an earlier ecu to accept his current wire harness. i told him to replace the ENTIRE harness and try again.

Sounds like the same thing as boosted Maximas in general. ECU overcompensates for air coming in w/ a rich A/F. Most owners opted for SAFC, SFC-HyperR, or going programable piggyback.
How about the KA-T S14s ? Same motor, same ECU, same Nissan rich A/F on positive pressure. How have they dealt with it ?
I' not hating I just want real answers. I want to brainstorm on different avenues. I'm sick of Hondas w/ H22 or B16-blow my nads. I want my Altima to slap these bitch asses like silly. I love the rush in my Maxima. I love that feeling of being able to break traction from cruise at 30mph, watching boost spike past, and my Tomei going from rich to rean to settling around 12:1, I love to watch the needle sweep from 20mg to 0.7 bar peaking at 0.8 on occassions.
Yes, I'm boost hungry. Its time we all figured it out. More than enough Altimas out there. Alot of owners are hungry. If they can turbo any Honda, why can't we turbo any Nissan ?
KA24DEs have more grunt, excellent rpm range, response could be better, but add boost and the motor becomes a different beast.
IMHO OBD2 to 1, makes sense, but what about other methods ?
Tell me what you think or PM me your thoughts.

tecIII some people are talking about. piggyback everyone else is talking about along with jwt ecu's... i havent really had to deal with this problem cuz ive got a first gen with obd1. ive learned quite a bit about it from listening and reading most of the other peoples problems that they themselves have been having. lemme research a little and ill get back to this...

TECIII, SDS EFI, even attempts at GReddy E-Manage. A32 platform Buddy Club Racing Spec Computer. JWT and G-Force were options before, but as the song goes...where is the love ?
Thanks in advance.
