kirkatwork Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I contacted a local shop about dyno-tuning my 76 Z, they wanted to know what do people typically use for tuning on the older Z's? Anyone? I've been searching and I see lot's of standalone options, I'm still not sure which one would be easiest/affordable. Using the stock ECU, what tuning software can be used? I looked at Nistune which sounded fairly simple and effective, but they said the 84 Z31 VG30E/ET was the first model digital ECU they were compatible with. Any ideas/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 You'd tune it using the AFM and reading the O2 with a wide band sniffer kinda like reading a carbed engine. No software for the ECU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Would be kinda cool to see a stock l28 dynoed and tuned through the afm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc052685 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 megasqirt or piggyback fuel computer or convert to the 300zx ecu and use the nistune cause my buddy is running that on his z32 and its friggn sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Would be kinda cool to see a stock l28 dynoed and tuned through the afm. 147hp to the rear wheels using all stock components including ECU and AFM. 1975 280Z... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 That was the most, not just stock I assume. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Would be kinda cool to see a stock l28 dynoed and tuned through the afm. I dynoed tuned my ghetto beast (crappy 280zx turbo) on the dyno with adjusting the afm. But it only ran great at full throttle and it changed afrs every day. Get a standalone and you will be much happier. Megasquirt with all extra parts can be done for $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
