wen people talk bout nistune how good is it comparing it 2 a power fc

pretty much the same thing,no hand commander for the nistune though

[200sx]

from what i hear nistune are ment to a better set up then a power fc.......they have a double map,so if your car starts to detonate or anything goes wrong it will change over to a safer map automatically.....wear as the power fc just tells you the problem but doesnt really do anything to help...........nistune sound the job............

I have nistune map done to my car and couldnt be happier, great power gain, and engine is safe as a house!

is der much difference in the price or the nistune and the power fc and what is the cost of gettin it mapped

nistune seems alot cheaper, but the big problem is there is only a handfull mapping them and are as many bad storys as good

There is a fella in rathdowney, called stiv who maps nistune, he does it supplied, fitted and mapped for €450 and i havent heard one bad thing about him ever, and i know from dealing with him myself how good he is.

I'll be with gem and the rest on mapping BUT it also depends on your budget and requirements. If you follow so called "stages" and check it on a rolling road for det you should be fine. Some common sense is required though (no big boost etc). You'd see power gains but not so big as it would be custom mapped.

I'm saying this from personal experience and Horsham Development (H-Dev, Jez) chips work well and I have dyno graphs from CA18 run on Surrey Rolling Road (reputable dyno) to prove it. My car had stage 1 and then stage 2 fitted, all working great with good fuelling and power/torque.
CA18det with s14 tubby, stage 2 chip etc, made 266bhp at 1 bar and that's with leaking fmic. It ran like that for 30k miles and withstand a lot of abuse too

Saying that, I got for myself some cheap custom NOZ chip from ebay to match z32, 560 injectors and TD05 turbo. I'll have AFR, EGT gauges and I'll make some det cans for testing plus rolling road test, so not recommended for starters.
