2010 Ford Edge Trims
|Pictures (36)
The 2010 Ford Edge Limited midsize crossover trim features the five-passenger seating, four doors, and 69 cubic feet of cargo space (with the rear seats folded) common to the Edge trim lineup. Additionally, this upper-midlevel trim offers such standard features as leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting, a universal garage door opener, SYNC/Bluetooth communications technology, and driver's seat memory. Options are almost identical to those of the SEL trim level, but the Limited adds available 20-inch chrome-clad wheels and upgraded leather trim.
As the only engine and transmission combination available for the Edge trims, a 3.5-liter variable-valve-timed (VVT) V6 and its accompanying six-speed automatic drive the 2010 Edge Limited with 265 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. Hauling capacity is some 3,500 pounds with the available towing package, and fuel economy works out to 18/25 mpg.
Limited AWD

|Pictures (10)
Feature-wise, the 2010 Ford Edge Limited AWD tops its pricier Sport AWD sibling. This upper-midlevel five-passenger, four-door crossover offers all the same standard and optional goodies, both inside and out, as the Limited rear-wheel-drive trim, while adding full-time all-wheel-drive (AWD) traction to the mix. Standard safety features, over and above the AWD, include the four-wheel ABS, AdvanceTrac stability and traction control, dual front side-mounted airbags, and front and rear head airbags common to the whole Edge trim lineup. Additionally, standard rear parking sensors are featured with the Limited trims.
Packing a 265-hp, 250-lb-ft/torque 3.5-liter VVT V6 engine, and managed by a standard (and only) six-speed automatic transmission, the 2010 Edge Limited AWD, when properly equipped, tows 3,500 pounds to the tune of 17/23 mpg.

As the base trim for the Edge crossover SUV lineup, the rear-wheel-drive-only 2010 Ford Edge SE carries fewer standard appearance, comfort, and convenience features and options than do its upper-echelon brethren. Five-passenger seating, front bucket seats, 17-inch painted-alloy wheels, and power windows, door locks, and mirrors are among the standard features of the SE, as are a tilting, telescoping steering wheel, air conditioning, cruise control, and a single-CD player with four speakers. Options run the gamut from SYNC/Bluetooth communications technology to a roof rack to daytime running lights to a Convenience Package with reverse parking sensors and auto on/off headlights to Sirius/XM satellite radio, while standard safety features include four-wheel disc ABS, traction and stability control (AdvanceTrac System), front side-mounted airbags, front and rear head airbags, and a post-collision safety system.
Packing the only engine and transmission combo available to the lineup, a 265-hp, 250-lb-ft/torque 3.5-liter variable-valve-timed (VVT) V6 and six-speed automatic, the 2010 Ford Edge SE can tow up to 3,500 pounds. The 3.5-liter V6 is rated at 18/25 mpg by the EPA. The 2010 Edge SE is the only trim in the lineup not available with all-wheel drive.
SE AWD Fleet

Up a notch from the Edge SE is the lower-midlevel four-door, five-passenger, rear-wheel-drive 2010 Ford Edge SEL crossover. In addition to push-button fold-flat seats, this trim adds 18-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, a 6-way power-adjustable driver's seat, front and overhead storage consoles, and a 6-CD changer with Sirius/XM satellite radio to the standard-features mix. Extra options for the SEL include voice-activated DVD navigation, rear-seat DVD entertainment, a power-operated Vista Roof, and a Class II Trailer Prep Package.
The 2010 Edge SEL comes equipped with the 3.5-liter VVT V6 and six-speed automatic transmission that power the entire lineup. This combo is good for 265 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque, and is rated by the EPA at 18/25 mpg. The 3.5-liter V6 will tow some 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.

Laugh at winter weather with the 2010 Ford Edge SEL AWD. Full-time all-wheel drive (AWD), in combination with Ford's AdvanceTrac stability control system, allows this five-passenger crossover to effectively maintain traction in virtually any road conditions. Otherwise, standard equipment and options mirror its rear-wheel-drive counterpart's.
The sole engine offering for all Ford's Edge trims, a 265-hp, 250-lb-ft/torque 3.5-liter VVT V6, along with the standard six-speed automatic transmission, gives the 2010 Edge SEL AWD 3,500 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped. The EPA rates the SEL AWD at 17/23 mpg.
|Pictures (6)
Touted as the top-shelf trim of the Edge lineup, the rear-wheel-drive, four-door, five-passenger 2010 Ford Edge Sport midsize crossover SUV features standard 20-inch alloy wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, and Alcantara leather seat inserts as its main claim to fame, with 22-inch polished aluminum wheels offered as an available option. Otherwise, the Sport trim level carries most of the same standard appearance, comfort, and convenience equipment as does its Limited sibling, including heated front seats and a power liftgate. The Sport, however, does not offer the trailer towing package available to the other trim levels.
The 2010 Edge Sport, in common with all the other Edge trims, packs a 3.5-liter variable-valve-timed (VVT) V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission capable of 265 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. The 3.5-liter V6 is rated by the EPA at 18/25 mpg.
Sport AWD

Not only does the 2010 Ford Edge Sport AWD offer all the standard and optional bells and whistles of its rear-wheel-drive brother, but full-time all-wheel drive (AWD), as well. Upsized 20-inch wheels and Alcantara leather seating inserts, not to mention available 22-inch chrome-clad wheels are among the appearance features of this four-door, five-passenger midsize crossover SUV.
In common with the entire Edge lineup, a single powertrain, a 265-hp, 250-lb-ft/torque 3.5-liter VVT V6 and six-speed automatic, is offered for the 2010 Edge Sport AWD. This combo boasts 17/23 mpg using regular unleaded gasoline.

Mike takes us on a step by step journey to realising life's potential and walking in the life that God has laid out for us before we were even born.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them" ~ Ephesians 2:10
He kicks off this book (excuse the pun!) with a very popular concept in self-development, business, leadership and management circles and particularly reminded me of 'Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath. The idea being that instead of developing those areas you are weak in, you find your strengths and 'play to them'.
However, unlike Strength Finders, it's exciting to see biblical principles being applied here as well.
The principles laid down in this book are excellent and have good practical application throughout. Each chapter is supported by personal examples of Mike achieving his goals, particular in discovering a career he didn't even realise existed – but that fit perfectly with his passions, goals and dreams.
Mike Flynt is a 'man's man', an American Football player and coach, and this book will definitely speak sports fans, and men's men…alas; I am not a man's man, so for me – not a great choice, but some excellent life principles weaved with scripture.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
Review by John
The two greatest days in our lives are the day we're born and the day we realize what we were born for.
Do you know what you were born for? For years Mike Flynt—a college football player turned insurance salesman—certainly didn't. Then one monumental day he stumbled into what he now believes is the career he was made for and, in turn, the life he was meant to live.
The Power-Based Life was developed out of Mike's desire to help others discover who God created them to be and, consequently, the work they were designed to do. But what exactly is a power base? As Mike explains through heartfelt personal accounts, notable sports stories, and biblical references, a power base is the center of personal strength used to meet challenges that, once discovered and maximized, will lead to a more significant, satisfying, and successful life.
He offers twelve strategies designed to tap into your specific points of personal strength, such as Cultivate a Winning Attitude, Defy the Skeptics, and Practice Radical Mercy. These principles empower you to rise above life's challenges and identify and embrace your goals and dreams. Find true meaning in your work and how you can impact the world by strengthening your body, mind, and spirit.

America's Cup Event Authority and Giants Enterprises Partner to Offer Race Viewing Opportunities
Giants Enterprises, a subsidiary of the San Francisco Giants, has been selected by the America's Cup Event Authority as the official spectator experience partner for America's Cup events in San Francisco. In this role, Giants Enterprises will assist in the promotion and ticketing of all sanctioned America's Cup public viewing locations beginning with the America's Cup World Series events August 21-26th 2012 and continuing through all 2013 America's Cup events.
Spanning six (6) days in August, the 2012 World Series races will be the first chance to see America's Cup races in action on the San Francisco Bay. A ticketed viewing area, called The Deck, will be located in the Marina Green, which will be transformed into the America's Cup (AC) Village. The AC Village is free and open to the public and will offer food and beverage vendors, viewing screens, merchandise, and race PA announcements and commentary. Ticketed seating is available in The Deck and will be the only location where spectators can be guaranteed a seat to watch all the action.
The Deck - This exclusive area, located in the front of the Marina Green directly across from the race finish line, features a very limited number of ticketed bleacher seats. Ticket holders will also have access to private food and beverage for purchase, and private bathrooms.
Tickets for The Deck start at $25 per day and will be available for purchase on www.americascup.com/tickets starting on Thursday, August 9th at 10am.
(America's Cup Partners, and Giants Season Ticket Holders will have access to an exclusive presale prior to the public sale.)
"We are excited about this new partnership with America's Cup Event Authority. With our experience producing large events in San Francisco, and our state-of-the-art ticketing infrastructure, we are uniquely equipped to help America's Cup Event Authority expose the Bay Area to world class sailing on the Bay," said Larry Baer, Giants President and CEO.
"This is a great opportunity for us to offer an unparalleled viewing experience around the San Francisco America's Cup events. Partnering with Giants Enterprises to offer ticketed seating options will allow fans to get up close and personal with this amazing spectacle," said Stephen Barclay, CEO of the America's Cup.

Learn more about Denver Community Credit Union and its involvement in the community!
Denver Community Credit Union held its 79th Annual Meeting on February 27th, 2014. We had a great turnout, and thank everyone that attended. At the Annual Meeting, members got to hear about some of the plans and initiatives of the credit union for the year to come, as well as the credit union's performance in 2013. The meeting focused on "Credit Union Difference" - what makes credit unions so unique in the financial industry. From our not-for-profit status, to our member-oriented service culture, we truly believe that Denver Community Credit Union (along with all credit unions) makes an impact in the communities we serve. To read this year's annual report, please click the link below.
Denver Community Credit Union was the proud Hotline Sponsor for the second year in a row of KYGO's Christmas Crusade, a fantastic program that was organized in 1984 by a small group of "Santa Cops." Each year sheriff and police officers across the metro area work to spread the joy of Christmas to thousands of underprivileged children. Officers meet and select these children during their work in their communities throughout the year. KYGO's Christmas Crusade gave all of us the chance to help these "Santa Cops" bring joy into many households in our local area by donating toys or money to the cause.
This year, thanks to our wonderful members and people from the community, we were able to raise over $2,000 in addition to toy donations. All the donations go directly towards the purchase of toys and gifts for underprivileged children in the Denver Metro area.
To see how the Christmas Crusade for Children shopping day went, please visit our Facebook page by clicking here.
This is just one example of how great credit union members and members of the community were at supporting the Christmas Crusade. This was just one example. Every donation no matter how large or small makes all the difference!
Denver Community Credit Union continually strives to be involved in our community. One way we participated with our community this month was by helping to sponsor the Colorado Anti-Violence Program's annual Rooting Down, Rising Up fundraiser, which was on October 22nd. The Colorado Anti-Violence Program has been dedicated for the past 27 years to ending violence within and against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities in Colorado by providing high quality services to survivors of violence. As a sponsor of the annual fundraiser, Denver Community Credit Union was able to reach out to over 250 guests at the sold out event.
It was a really great, touching event to see what the Colorado Anti-Violence Program does for the community. For more information about the Colorado Anti-Violence Program, visit their website.
October was a very busy, but very fun month for Denver Community. One of the best things we got to do was participate in Boo at the Zoo! From October 25th through October 26th, Denver Community Credit Union was armed with candy and ready to see everyone's costume. Boo at the Zoo is an annual event where multiple businesses and organizations come together at the Denver Zoo to provide children with a fun and safe trick-or-treating environment. While we were handing out goodies we were able to tell people about our involvement with Children's Miracle Network's Miracle Marathon. We helped sponsor the Miracle Marathon as part of Credit Unions Across Colorado. For more information about the Miracle Marathon, click here.
Denver Community Credit Union was excited to be part of the Children's Miracle Network Miracle Marathon. Credit Unions Across Colorado helped sponsor the Marathon, which is a 27.2-day virtual fundraising in which participants run/walk (or achieve forward motion) one mile per day for 27 days. It started October 1st and ended October 27th, 2013. The final day was for the kids. All participants in the Miracle Marathon completed an extra mile at the same time on October 27th. The Miracle Marathon helps support our local Children's Miracle Network Hospital - Children's Hospital Colorado.
One place Denver Community Credit Union team members liked to move their mile, was James Bible Park!
It is still not too late to donate, visit www.miraclemarathon.org for more information about the Marathon and about Children's Miracle Network.
Denver Community Credit Union is thrilled to announce that we were the runner up for the Mountain West Credit Union Association's Community Impact Award for our work on the Annual Back to School Fair! The Credit Union Community Impact Award is given to a credit union program that has positively affected the community in the Arizona, Colorado, or Wyoming credit union movement. The award went to Desert Schools Federal Credit Union in Arizona. Congratulations to them! The work that is done with these credit union run programs demonstrates just part of the credit union difference.

There is a ray of hope for CFOs who would like to upgrade the condition of corporate health-care plans from "critical" to "stable." Boosted by a substantial injection of cash from the federal stimulus bill, electronic medical records may help relieve the pain of rising premiums by improving efficiencies in the medical system.
The $787 billion stimulus bill, which President Obama signed into law in February, included $19 billion aimed at offering incentives to hospitals and physicians to replace their tattered manila folders with electronic systems that store patient records. The goal is to improve coordination among health-care providers and make the data easily accessible to doctors, nurses, and lab technicians. Today, the major vendors of such programs take proprietary approaches to electronic medical records (EMRs) — also sometimes referred to as electronic health records — that prevent or inhibit one system from talking to another. Part of the legislation aims to break down that barrier by assigning responsibility for setting interoperability standards to the Department of Health and Human Services, which must issue criteria by the end of the year.
The idea of computerizing medicine is hardly new. President George W. Bush, for instance, hailed its arrival in 2004, vowing that every American would have an EMR by 2014. But doctors have been slow to swallow that prescription. The return on investment in EMRs, after all, mainly benefits insurance companies and the government. Why would doctors — who would reap around 10% of the savings — spring for the upfront costs, not to mention the requisite training and potential disruption to daily operations? Now, thanks to the stimulus bill, there's a clear answer: they'll make less money if they don't do it soon, and if they put it off for too long they'll actually lose money.
Beginning in 2011, physicians deemed to be "meaningful users" of EMRs — that is, fully automated and conforming to standards that have yet to be set — will be eligible to receive between $44,000 and $64,000, paid out over five years in the form of increased Medicare and Medicaid payments. Those who start sooner, in 2011 or 2012, will be able to receive bigger first-year incentive bonuses ($18,000) than those who start later. Incentives for hospitals start at $2 million annually, and include additional money based on Medicare-patient volume. But come 2014, the payments disappear, and in the following year the stimulus reverses direction: physicians and hospitals that have failed to institute an EMR system will see reimbursements for government-financed care decrease by 1% a year, reaching a maximum of a 5% reduction by 2020.
Hospitals also have another new incentive. As of last year, 23 states had passed laws declaring that Medicare will no longer reimburse hospitals for avoidable medical errors, known, curiously, as "never events," such as amputating the wrong limb. Some private insurers have followed suit, adding a similar provision to their contracts. A move to electronic recordkeeping should safeguard hospitals against such expensive, reputation-mangling errors, reducing malpractice suits and facilitating more preventive care. "Human beings make mistakes," says Rick Jung, chief operations officer of Medsphere Systems, which markets open-source health-care software by subscription. "So the hospitals with EMRs have a big advantage."

R32 causing trouble
Oh there will be LOTS more photos this summer. It hasn't been waxed in almost 2 years now soooo....it'll look better. I've got a friend that is gonna teach me how to do a REAL detail (polish etc) which I am excited for.
I'll shoot some video after I get it tuned. Right now I'm trying to hunt down an off-throttle rattle. I'm thinking exhaust, but when I kicked the exhaust last night it didn't make any noise
Maybe I'll post a video of that and some sleuths here can help figure it out.
The bad headwork would've made me absolutely crazy. There's no excuse for sloppy work like that. I don't know which is worse, the fact that they didn't set the valve height correctly or the junk under the ports. Both are pretty unforgivable.
Have you put a magnetic drain plug in it? They're great for engine break-in, as they hold the little bits of ring that tend to grind away when you're firing. For the same reason, always drain the oil hot!
As far as that elusive rattle, was the engine hot when you kicked the exhaust system around? That can make a huge difference.
Keep the faith, man.

Cant comprehend all the (what, 20?) assemble/disassemble/reassemble troubleshooting steps youve done.
Car looks great. Best of luck with the rest of the shakedown/ironing-out process. In spite of all my better judgement, everything I have heard, and the things I have just seen you go through, I still want one.
50 miles into my drive I pulled up to a stoplight and it was misfiring at idle and at 18-19 AFR.
After I babied it home I found a vacuum cap had popped off. and At least it was nothing major. Put a new one on with RTV this time.
.................................................. ......................................
There were more than a few occasions when I didn't wanna deal with the car, which is partly why I put it back into storage in the fall instead of trying to finish it up. Especially when its just myself doing the work. But the turning point was my buddy Pat coming to help for a weekend. Just getting the motor to fire was BIG motivation; even if it required more 'redo' work afterwards.
AND...now that I've done it this many times...its not as much of a hassle. If it wasn't for all the coolant in the system and not wanting to make a mess, I could probably do a timing belt job in 3 hours now. Shutoff to restart.
If you're on the fence..go get one now. Before they're ALL molested. Its not that bad :-)

I think I've gotten nearly everything sorted out with the car, except for the tune. The car runs good, but there is a funky lean spike right around 2k rpms that I think is killing my torque output.
Yesterday a couple friends and I drove down to Canton for a dyno day benefit. It was a chassis dyno (more info when I get the graphs).
Buddy with a SN95 cobra put down 250hp with just pullies.
284whp and 270 torque for my Z with stock wastegate pressure (12psi). Kinda disappointed. I think a lot of it comes down to the tune. (ashspec chip currently) I really wish I could have been ready for the Specialty Z tune day in Cincinnati. I should get the graphs tomorrow, but now I need to learn how to use my Nistune ECU and software.
To be fair, I found out on the ride home that I popped off two vacuum caps and a fuel line. I hope that was the reason for the crappy showing.
I thought I had a RMS leak, turns out I never retightened the oil pan bolts after installing it with RTV orange initially. To get to all of the bolts I had to remove the transmission brackets on the driver's side and loosen the bracket on the passenger's side. Since then I haven't seen a drop of oil from the back of the motor.
I installed a Greddy Profec B Spec 2 boost controller that I found on the forum last week now that my motor is broken in. It feels good to get up to 15 psi again!
I got an auto NA nistune ecu for a steal a while back, and 91ser came down from Chicagoland again to help adjust the tune. I've been running an Ash tune set up for my 755cc top feed injectors, but after installing the sport 500 turbos and AMS exhaust manifolds I've had a lean spot at part throttle that I wanted to get rid of. After doing a fair amount of reading we learned how to copy the maps from my TT ecu onto my netbook, and transfered them onto the nistune ECU. We went for a drive but were unable to see the effects of our changes. I think we were running into issues with the gear map, so the gear and knock maps were disabled and things really took off from there.
We pulled some fuel out at the top end (shot for 11.5-12.0) and added some down low (shooting for 14.7 low load) and the car runs SOOO much better. We filled up after about 1/2 tank of highway driving, 1/4 tank of accelleration runs, and 1/4 tank of cruising. 19.996 mpg!!!! Typically I've only seen 20 on 100% highway tanks. I can't wait to see what this current tank gets me. I'm going to need to modify some other rich spots down low, and I want to try and lean out very low load areas some more to improve fuel economy (after doing some more reading on how to tune). I just can't believe how much of an improvement we saw with only a few hours spent in the car.
Nice work!
It's been a fun read. Keep us posted.
I'm jealous that you're getting 20MPG with twin turbos. My N/A 300zx barely hits 18MPG average normally.
Awesome build btw However, you've practically talked me out of doing a TT swap in the 300zx.
MPG Update:
Last weekend I gave the girlfriend a VERY brief overview of how to use nistune, but with her help dialed in the tune on the freeway in 5th from 55-75. AFR at part throttle is almost dead on 14.6-14.8. After filling up on that tank I got 21.9mpg. 75% freeway/country roads, 10% commuting 3.5 miles and back to work a few days, and 15% with the old tune. Looking better!
I'd like to know how some people are getting 25+ on the freeway. My goal is 22-23mpg on the highway so its not too painful on the wallet for long trips.
Check me out on fuelly.com for MPG updates.
Also took delivery of a second MAF, Selin Translator, and oil sandwich plate this weekend. The plan is to take a long weekend over 4th of July to see Cake at Summerfest, help my buddy finish up the V8 install in his slicktop, and install a DOOLZ (dual intake) on my Z. Should be good for quicker throttle response and about 20-30HP. Oil sandwich plate is for oil temp/pressure gages whenever I get a carPC installed. Hopefully this winters project.

First off, I know I need more photos. Just took a 1500 mile road trip and only got one crappy cell phone pic of the Z. Probably because it was dirty most of the time
Second. 22.9mpg for the road trip. Averaged 22.5, saw best tank of 22.9. I am quite pleased with this, I'm making more power and getting better fuel economy than the last trip I took 2 years ago. I'd still love to break the 23mpg mark. Those numbers are from sitting at 75-80 much of the time with a few spirited runs in between. Wisconsin has some great roads to drive.
Third! Picked up a Z1 Doolz from my friend in Chicago on my way back. Installed it yesterday in about 30 minutes. (I'll snag pics at lunch) The full setup is, Z1 doolz, silicone couplers, AIP maf (wanted OEM but the guy I bought it didn't state that it was aftermarket) and dual JWT popchargers (only one has a flower pot mod at the moment), and selin translator set to ADD. I've got a few observations.
1: Driveability is MUCH better. Previously in 5th gear below 1800rpms or so the car would bog down and shudder if i gave it throttle. I really had to be in 4th until 40+mph to drive the car smoothly. Not the case any more, 5th gear is usable down to almost 35mph. This should help fuel economy pretty significantly as most of the roads around here are 35 (boo).
2: This is completely subjective, but the car seems to drive much smoother. This is both good and bad.
3: At 15psi power doesn't seem to come on in as much of a RUSH as it did before. This makes the car feel slower. I've only driven with this setup for about an hour, so these observations may change. I did a log last night with nistune and saw TP load hit a new high of 73 (previous TPload max was about 63) so it seems to be making more power. It just doesn't feel that way. I REALLY need to completely redo my tune, but I'm not sure I have the skills for that. I've got a rescaled map created, but I'm afraid to use it. My current TP load scale maxes out at about 44. I'm monitoring everything very closely while driving, but something tells me its not a good idea to have the ECU interpolate that far beyond the chart.
4: Despite having my ballasts mounted at the outer edges of the engine bay and the selin right in the middle, I still get LOTS of interference. When I tried to pull away at the gas station I killed it because it was running so poorly. It didn't occur to me until the second try that the problem I was seeing was because of the HID's. When I turned the headlights off the car ran great. I need to read up on how people are correcting this.

We were 5 miles from home after 4 hours and 150 miles of driving all day Saturday when the car died at a fairly busy intersection. Barely managed to get it through the intersection and into a driveway.
Could not connect to the ECU with consult
Code 55 - All OK
Aux fan running with key in accessory position
Car would barely idle (VERY rich) and would die with any throttle.
CEL was on.
If I let the car sit for 3 minutes, the fan would not turn on at the turn of the key, but as soon as I gave it throttle it would start with the above symptoms again.
Called AAA and was home within 30 minutes. I had planned on swapping ECU's in the morning on Sunday because everything I read suggested a bad EPROM or bad ECU (Current ECU has a nistune board). Some others suggested bad MAF, which almost makes sense because I'm running a dual maf setup (1 oem 1 AIP) with a selin translator but that doesn't explain why I couldn't connect to the ECU.
Sunday I started up the car and drove around the development with no problems. ??? Now I have to drive around wondering when this will happen again.
I've got a spare ECU and spare single intake ready to swap over in the car in case this happens again. Has anyone else encountered this problem before? Is it possible to have this caused by a bad maf when running the selin? I would think that if one maf is bad (and set to ADD) it would be reading to LITTLE airflow and be running lean. Has anyone ever had a bad nistune board?
Originally posted 8-6-12
Well its happened twice more now. ECU dies after long drives. Swapping to my chipped TT ecu will allow the car to run fine indefinitely. If I drop the nistune ECU back in the next day it'll work fine again. A brief visual inspection of the ecu innards didn't reveal any problems.
Not really sure what route to take. I'm assuming/hoping its the ECU and not the nistune board that is bad. I guess my next option is to find a cheap working NA ecu and swap the nistune board over.
I got in on the initial offering of the Royalty Performance 13" rear brake group buy, and they were delivered about two weeks ago. However my golf was still up on jackstands with my troublesome steering rack replacement so I couldn't install them.
I finally was able to tackle this job on Friday with the help of my girlfriend before I took her out to dinner :-) In total, it probably took us an hour to install these, wheels off to wheels on (including the time it took to learn how to adjust the parking brake). Very VERY simple install. I did have some problems with the heat shield rubbing against the backside of the rotor which I had to spend 5 minutes adjusting on Saturday, but nothing major. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to really test them with any simulated panic stops yet.
I definitely like the look though. It makes the fronts look smaller, but I like having 13" all around. They look much better under my 18" wheels.
Crappy photo on the way into work:
Great updates (except the stalling)! With an intermittent problem like that, makes me think it might be a loose ground? Good luck

Good work man.
So what are your future plans with the car?
I've got a 2.5" intercooler piping kit waiting to install, still need to purchase larger intercoolers with 2.5" inlets. I'll have my OEM throttle bodies bored out and the plenum matched to account for the larger piping. Dyno tests have proven almost +100 low end tq with this upgrade alone. Combined with my slightly larger than stock turbos, lag should be almost nonexistent with a monster torque curve.
The seats (and probably interior) will get recovered in charcoal leather, along with a new shift boot and ebrake to go with the red stitched shift knob my girlfriend got me for Christmas last year.
I plan on moving away from my triple 52mm gauge setup and switching to a double din bezel with a car PC running datascan/nistune. This way I can still monitor oil pressure/temperature/everything else with the sandwich adapter I'll be installing and I won't have to clutter the interior with more gauges.
Finally, I'll be cleaning up the engine bay and powder coating the plenum and balance tube and valve covers to get rid of the cruddy old aluminum look I've got going on. I really should have done this last winter, but I was too focused on getting it to run after my first ever engine build.
That will pretty much cover me for performance upgrades. The suspension is still pretty firm, I don't plan on altering that until my bushings start to go. Its a toss-up between that and paint as my next major modification, probably 2+ years down the road. I'm hoping that this winters round of upgrades are all I will need and I can drive it for a few seasons without sinking any more money into it. I've been planning on all of these for the last year, and I don't have anything else I need to do, and I struggle to find upgrades I want to do.
I've been trying to find a local dyno day for a while now, with no luck. So I finally got around to calling Bigshot Dyno down in Stow. I live in a city of 51k people and 100k within 5 miles, and I have to drive almost an hour to the closest dyno. Boo.
Anywho, I did my first dyno this spring with a chip tune and 12psi and put down a measly 290ish hp. Since then I got Nistune and using ZERO tuning experience dialed in the chip tune on the street and turned up the boost to 15psi. I also installed a doolz intake and selin translator.
I've got a set of Ash Massives V3 and 2.5" intake piping on the way for install this winter and I wanted to get another baseline prior to that mod, and a comparison from where I was at this spring.
Runs on a DynoJet reporting STD Horsepower.
Run 1 broke up a little so we didn't log it.
Runs 2 and 3 were nearly identical, within 1hp and 1tq at 15psi.
Run 4 I turned the boost controller back down to 12psi to get a comparison to this spring (plus the dual intake and tune)
15psi- 351whp and 367tq!!!!!!
12psi-331whp and 339tq!!
VERY pleased with these results. My goal of 450whp should be attainable with 17psi and breather mods!
Maybe I missed it, but what did you do to resolve your random stalling issue?
Also, great progress on the car. I'm not too far from you, I'd love to check it out.

Take a look at the photo below (not my ecu, but the same model and you should get the idea).
The standard Z32 ECU has a main board, and a daughterboard that lies parallel about .75" away on the other side of the casing. The two are connected with a 1" wide ribbon cable. Nistune replaces the standard aftermarket EPROM chip with yet another daughterboard in between the two, right where the ribbon cable is.
I dissected the ECU looking for loose or bad solder joints, but everything looked good, the only thing that was suspicious was the ribbon cable squished between the 3 ECU boards, and the ribbon cable was up against the backside of the Nistune board, which had many exposed pointed leads. I put some insulating material in these locations and haven't had a hiccup since.
I'll shoot you a PM, I'd be happy to show it off. Don't expect too much though, engine bay cleanup starts this winter.
Ashspec Massives V3 intercoolers delivered. Over twice the size of my current intercoolers, and these have a 2.5" inlet/outlet to mate up with my waiting 2.5" intercooler piping.
Won't get to install them until late winter/early spring.
As usual life has gotten in the way of working on the Z, as it seems to do nearly every year.
Late fall I got a new job and moved back home to Wisconsin in December. I stayed with family until March, when my girlfriend moved up and we found a place to rent. Over the winter I joined forces with a group of friends to build a 24 Hour of Lemons team/car. Our first race was April, and that sucked up nearly all of my free time.
Formerly the Putt Pirates, now Priority Fail
While trying to get a street car fully prepped for the track in under 4 months, I was also 'training' for a half ironman I competed in @ the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Over the course of two months I somehow found time to pull the bumper and intercoolers off the Z, but thats about it. After our first lemons race and after completing the tri in early May I had a few hours a week to spend on the car.
Ironman trip
I should probably cover this years planned modifications first. Over a year ago I got a set of 2.5" intercooler piping for a price I couldn't say no to. All of the mods to my Z so far have been focused on making it a fun street car. Sport 500's, exhaust manifolds, 13" brakes, etc. Nothing over the top cost-wise, and mods focused on getting on the power earlier. Last fall I got a set of 2.5" Ashspec V3 Massive intercoolers, and had hoped to install them in the fall with the piping which did not happen. I also picked up a 7" touchscreen to run a carpc with for nistune and gages and etc, but that will have to wait until next year. Ah, almost forgot, I also had RobZ CNC my OEM throttle bodies and I ported my plenum to match. This is gonna be a riot when it is done!
So...I removed the OEM intercooler piping over the course of two days. The girlfriend was at a bachelorette party or something like that so I had the night to myself. Without even realizing it I spent 7 hours in the garage on a friday night and got most of the car ripped apart and half the piping out. Total to remove the piping was probably about 3-4 hours. Not as bad as I expected, but it could have gone better. Recirc bolts were seized, and almost impossible to reach with the condensor fan still installed. I wish I would have taken pictures. The first thing to remember is to unbolt the dryer bracket from the car, and this will give you all the wiggle room you need for the passenger side. The drivers side was much easier.
After I got this done the car sat for quite a while before I was able to start installing everything once again. It took a while to figure out how the 2.5" piping would go back on. I installed the intercoolers first, as everyone said to do, which was a good idea. However it took a lot of trial and error to get the right pipes in the right place and in the right direction. I spent a lot of time in front of the computer looking at other installs, but I still had to figure most out myself. I'd say I probably spent 8-10 hours (over the course of multiple days) getting everything fit up right.
We had another Lemons race last weekend, and our next isn't until November so I can finally focus most of my time on just one car. I got to work on the Z Thursday AND Friday this week, which was enough time to finish the piping install and install the upper plenum.
This evening's plans are to do a boost leak test and if everything holds up....try and start the car!
The big challenge this summer will be tuning the car, as I will need completely new maps with all the power I'll be putting down. Technically I should have rescaled my map with the previous round of mods, but the car ran great and I knew another extreme round of mods was not far away. I plan on renting some dyno time and doing it myself but I haven't messed with timing maps before. I've done lots of reading regarding tuning so I think I'll be able to get the hang of it, but I also want to make sure I do it right.
This is the last set of power-adders I plan on going with so whatever I end up doing for a tune this time will last quite a while. I'll install a LWFW and 1pc driveshaft some day, but aside from that all future mods will revolve around looks and functionality.
I'll get some pics up later tonight. I'm bored in front of a computer so I figured it would be a good time to update this thread.
Dude?! Stop being lazy and get this car done. Ironman competitions, Triathlons, building race cars, working, etc. That should take no more than 18 - 20 hours a day.
Lots and lots of money spent...
