Thread: aem fic

Intense Power is a straight up liar. If i could do 3 or 4 of em back to back then yes, 45 mins is doable. But the first install is gonna take 3-4 hours, especially if you plan on keepin it clean

took my shop awhile to hook my f i/c up also. BUT it will be gone soon for uprev.

I sorta figured it would take a lot longer than that, cause i'd try to make it look decent and hook up the right wires, but would also take awhile cause me and wires sometimes don't get along too good, lol. If i just hook it up without the harness it'll probably take more than 3-4 hours, idk. Boy, uprev would be nice, just plug in a wire an whatnot, an your good to go!

yea if i were you i'd strongly consider pricing how much itd be to do an 04 conversion. (i just like the 02-03 cluster too much lol) but with the fic at 300, harness at 250, reflash at whatever it costs, plus tuning the fic... youre probly pretty close to the cost of a conversion

on the other end, if you reflash, fic for 300, street tune it yourself... then youre in pretty cheap. if youre not pushing too much power this could be a good route. otherwise i'd say buck up the cash lol

Yea, i'v thought about doin that, but i don't really go to drag-strips an stuff, so i dunno if it would be totally worth it for me, but it'd sure be awesome. I might look around a bit tho an see what the price diff is. Like I was saying earlier, i'm goin to kina try for the 400 hp mark, then maybe later on 450 or so, idk. Proly try to just street tune it myself, i reckon, then maybe some time take it to a dyno...

i believe the ecu reflash from jwt is like 500 bucks. i may be wrong. been awhile since i was on there site.

I called jwt yesterday, they said it was $595 for a ecu upgrade.

Well worth it!!

If you already are running 15psi on the Turbonetics reflash, Just add the FIC and you are good.

Unless you have upgraded Valvesprings (like BC or JWT) then u really cant go past 6500rpm safely on the stock valve springs.

Intense quoted that time because they are a Good shop that works allot on Nissans (from 240's to Skylines) Supras RX7s Infinities etc. thats probably how long it takes them to install it on 350Zs (they build ALLOT of VQ cars) (they are my local shop and built my engine) gotta defend them LOL

wiring might be a lil frustrating if you are not used to it (i solder daily so in ok with it lol) There are 2 ways to do things with $$ or time (your own time)
If you have a built & boosted do you really wanna sell it?? I dont plan on it

i was wondering if he was talking about the shop that built your block.

Yup, i posted the link to the FIC from intense (they have it priced very low)

Yea, 595 seems a bit steep, but you pay for what you get i ges....hey, they was talking about a sentra there that had a huge turbo an had 440 or so hp, that you?

It could be but i dont have a huge turbo just a 5o trim on 16psi lol I might be in the 420-440 HP range They Did build my engine and i became friends with a couple guys from the shop, they give me good deals, discounts, advice and all that. Great Bunch of guys. they also have low prices on allot of things so if they have something you guys need i post the link

That's good, lol, the fic was a perty good price I thought...

BTW, if anyone was wondering, the fic works fine on my car. I had a few issues for awhile, but i got them figured out an it works great.

Good to hear. It's really a good tuning option that doesnt get a lot of attention. MAF clamp, O2 maps, actual fuel injector maps rather than altering the MAF, timing retard, 12v output... lots of good stuff

Yup, all that, and its less money than a safc, and can tune a lot more. At least from what Ive read anyway, i haven't actually used a safc.....But i guess you also need a laptop too, so it mite cost a bit more in the end. Lol, ether way, i like it.
