Howdy! Sorry to bother all you nice Z folks.
I don't own a Z, but I do have a 2001 Xterra 3.3 5 spd.
I want to do some exhaust work to it that I'm told will require tuning because my ECU won't be able to compensate enough for the changes. But the VG33E seems to have garbage for tuning options. I guess there's not much aftermarket for tuning trucks :P The only option seems to be a standalone ECU... which I really don't feel like investing in just to improve my exhaust.
Over on XterraNation (
http://xterranation.org/index.php?th...fo-by-fo.8275/) I've been told that a VG30 ECU will run my VG33 and has far more tuning capabilities, but no one can give me much more information than that.
I was hoping someone on this forum would have more info regarding this computer swap.
Do the plugs from my harness match the VG30 ECU? Will I need to rewire any sensors? Will I need to add sensors? Will I run into emissions problems?
Any information you all have will be greatly appreciated!
