Map-ECU3 installed and now in learning mode. RTV silicone used as gaskets doesn't hold up to the extreme temperatures of the exhaust flanges. I am in contact with Remflex Exhaust gaskets for their exhaust gaskets for the listed VQ35DE for the Maxima could be the answer to this problem.

RTV is good to about the 500F mark. Did you use Red Hi-temp? That's good to 650F. If you're above that, man, that's some heat.

Will look forward to these !
I can't really do full throttle on the streets here in Metropolitan Vancouver and i'm thinking i need a runway to really know the full potential of this setup. But I am extremely satisfied with the acceleration. I might drive 100kms to test it at Mission Raceway this summer and i promise to have someone with me to capture it in video. And yes, it does go beyond the maximum rated temps of the red or copper silicone!

Let us know how it goes
Hi every one
It's been a long time since the last time but for all of you I was working with my altima 2010. I change my tranny from cvt to manual because I want to rise the boost to 15psi also I install a 2004 spec v hlsd in my 4 gen transmission with no problem, I use an oem flywheel but I remove all the spring from the inside and then I weld the flywheel to meke it solid and I use an spec clutch stage 3+. I don't need to change any harness thanks to the uprev programPm sent

How did the tuning go?
Everything just fine, the car pull very hard
So it may have been addressed earlier, but I'll ask again anyway: will the turbo setup be compatible with the CVT? I know you said you went from the CVT to standard, but I've become partial to mine haha
I found this company that claims to have found a working solution, for a supercharger at least
Fallbrook Tech
Yes, works with cvt just perfect, before I change the tranny my car was auto and I use cvt for 5 or 6 months but when I rise the boost the cvt can't hold the power and start to spin so I swap to manual
when you were testing, what was the highest you got in boost before it started to lose its hold on the power?
8 psi, but if you want to run safety 5 or 6 psi of boost
Still tuning. MapECU3 was put in learn mode again but I now have a base table off 2007 Maxima with a VQ35DE engine sent by MapECU tech support . Will rewire it in Elimination mode then upload VQ35DE base table and then can start real time tuning. Am keeping fingers crossed hoping base table is compatible and only fuel trims above 3000rpm needs adjusting.
