I rebuilt the motor NA and drove it for about 5k miles before turbo charging. I’ve driven it about 15k since. My goals were only for 300HP or so. Engine management has been my issue from day one. I have two Enthalpy tuned ECUs, one for my set-up with the N60 MAFS and one for a N62. It runs incredibly rich on either ECU. Not verified on a wideband, but the black smoke under hard throttle is a good indication, and I have a narrowband gauge installed. I have an Innovate LC-1 wideband gauge kit which I have not installed, it and both ECUs and MAFS come with the car.
It bogs under acceleration until it reaches operating temp, and over 4k RPM if you just floor it. Easing on the throttle and acceleration is smooth well into boost until redline. It's got to do with injector scaling and temperature correction. Like I said, I drive it practically every day, and it’s really quite civil. It’s just a b-tch when it’s cold. Can be corrected with a SAFC, but for what the NEO costs, I was planning on going NIS-TUNE.
Other issues:
Flex coupling on mid-pipe is worn through (crossing the speed bump everyday at work)
Exhaust leak (turbo to manifold gasket)
Taking the radio out
All the parts and extras I have for it will come with the car:
All ECUs (I have two socketed, one not)
The LC-1 Wideband and exhaust mount (NEW)
Hatch cover and Stock tails
Complete Timing Kit – leftover from rebuild, that kit came with one also
Fiberglass Fender Flares (NEW, never installed)
Some other misc things I can’t recall (I’ve got a box full), but all my 240 stuff goes with the car.

Google's new Android Autos OS unveiled, will be in cars this year [w/video]
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Connected cars are coming en-masse. We know this much. How, though, remains something of an open question, especially as two of the world's largest tech companies are preparing to battle for control of your car's dashboard. On the one hand, we have Apple and its CarPlay system. And now, we know what Google has been working on with Auto Link.
Its new name is Android Auto, and yes, it's based off the Android architecture that is the primary challenger to Apple's iOS mobile operating system. Announced at Google's I/O conference today, Android Auto functions similarly to CarPlay - owners will need to plug their smartphones into their cars to access the full breadth of capability.
In Android Auto's case, that means a wealth of voice controls to limit distracted driving. Google's marquee apps will be available when the interface arrives in production models later this year, including Google Play Music, Google Maps and voice-activated texting and text playback. Meanwhile, developers will be able to begin designing custom apps for the new system via an upcoming software development kit.
2013 Nissan Pathfinder drivers reporting loss of power, 'shuddering' [w/video]
Wed, 29 May 2013No one appears to have a handle on the numbers, but more than a few owners are registering the same complaint about the CVT-equipped 2013 Nissan Pathfinder: that it "shudders" and loses power when accelerating from a standstill or at low speeds. According to posters at places like Pathfinder Talk, Edmunds, Auto Recalls for Consumers and About Automobile, it happens between about 20 to 40 miles per hour, the sensation is described as being like "driving over a rumble strip" and the power loss occurs for about three to four seconds.
ABC 13 in Houston rode with Pathfinder owner Marlise Holzworth to experience the issue, Holzworth saying that it feels like her vehicle is about to stop when the shudder occurs. Nissan responded to the report, saying that, "A new part has been developed for 2013 Pathfinders that exhibit symptoms similar to those Ms. Holzworth describes. The necessary part should be available at Nissan dealers in June."
Likewise, according to a post on the PathfinderTalk forum, user Krsin97 was informed by a Nissan engineer in April that "[We] are aware of the problem and Nissan is working on update that will come out at the end of June to eliminate the problem."
Nissan recalling 104k Juke models over faulty timing chain [UPDATE]
Thu, 15 May 2014General Motors isn't the only manufacturer that gets to issue a recall today, as Nissan is set to announce a voluntary recall of the 2011 to 2013 Juke due to a fault with the timing chain. 104,439 units are affected by this recall. The timing chain in some Jukes could deteriorate over time, leading to a warning light in the instrument cluster. In extreme cases, the chain could snap.
Owners of affected vehicles are being notified, and will need to report to their local dealership. The free repairs will replace the timing chain, chain guides and crank sprocket.
Take a look below for a short statement to Autoblog from Nissan.
