originaly posted by jasil- no car is running the Nisei, no fast car anyway. Wow where do you come up with this statement. I have seen plenty of "fast"
cars trade up thier avo, greddy, buschur etc...for a nisei. All testing will be done shortly, then you can make your own opinion.

 

BBYBruno - its clear that you are a loyal supporter of your chosen vendor's product (Nisei). Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinions and ideas. What I do not like, however, is when people force their opinions on others and polute a otherwise civil conversation with verbal feces. There is more than one way to look at something and the forums are about an open interchange of ideas - you have made your point don't turn this thread into trash.

Mr. Buschur is a guy with a lot of experience and accomlishments in 4G63 engine design and tuning. I find it ridiculous that a hobbiest like yourself is trying to question Mr. Buschur on these points. Simply put, its like me trying to tell Lance Armstrong which tires to use on his bicycle. When you dont know what you are talking about, its usually best to zip it and keep your eyes and ears open so maybe you can learn something.

If you like Nisei products - great for you. I saw one or two on my customer's cars and they looked nice and the cars ran about average compared to other similar cars I tuned.

This thread is not entitled - "Which FMIC company do you want to help sell its goods?" It is not about a comparision of competeing fmic kits. The thread is about making BIG whp on an Evo and how I did it.

The company that produces the cores which are used in the Buschur and AMS kits is a international company with billions of dollars in sales and a huge technical and testing resource. The same company's fmic cores are used by most of the world's fastest Sport Compact race cars. It takes a lot of testing andf R & D work to design the core to truely maximize heat transfer and improve upon a technology which is decades old. I feel that this product is superior to any other core on the market and its a very costly core.

I am not here to knock Nisei - but who are they? What have they accomplished in motosports. What records have they set? What races have they won? Before I personally use a product on my Evo - I want to know WHOM I am buying it from and know that the company has a pruven track record of actual performance.

 

Al,

Are you saying that the Nisei intercooler made less horsepower on the customer cars you tuned than the cars equipped with the Buschur Intercooler? Do you have any dyno charts for us to see?

One more question in order to get best tune/flash from you do I have to have all Buschur parts? If so please let me know now and I’ll just get my car flashed by someone else or I'll just get an AEM and have it tuned by Sean Ivey.

 

I am saying that the few cars I came across with the Nisei fmic ran similar to other cars with fmic kits on stock turbo cars. I don't think you could tell the difference between one or another fmic kit on stock turbo cars.

As for my tuning, I tune any combination of parts that the customer may request. Buschur parts do work very well, particularly the staged packages which I have a lot of experience working with. However there are a lot of other companies which also make great parts that work well. In tuning the idea is to set the tuning paramaters to account for the modifications on the vehicle, not the other way around.

I have through the mail flash tunes for virtually any combination of main line aftermarket parts combos which you can choose, e.g. ; Helix, ARC, APS, HKS Greddy, K & N, Weapon R, AEM, AMS, Perrin, etc etc etc. It is very easy to hook up data logers on the car and tune it to match what ever parts combos you can dream up.

The main point about the Buschur parts is that they are designed to work well as a total package so it makes tuning much easier.

The AEM is an amazing product but its price and functions place it in a different market segment than a reflash of the stock ecu.

I hope that answers your question.

 

Nisei fan boys (myself included), this thread is not about Nisei. The Nisei folks have more than made their point. Let's stop.

Al, good luck this weekend. You don't expect to beat Turbo Trix' record in 90 degree heat with high humidity do you? That would be quite an accomplishment.

 

That's' great and all, but not everyone wants to use Buschur parts. There are more than enough quality aftermarket parts out there to choose from, so I see no reason why anyone should stick to just one manufacturer of parts. The EVO has been in Japan for years and they make alot of horsepower in Japan with various tuners and not one of them is running Buschur parts.

Please don't be baised when I bring you my car to be flashed because it doesn't have any Buschur parts on it.

 

If you are so worried, just send your ecu to Vishnu. Al isn't gonna sabotage your ecu because you have a Megan exhaust...

 

Al is local to me and I hear he does a very good job with the flashes. I just want the best flash possible and I don't have any Buschur parts on my car. Sorry, but I have no interest in dealing with Vishnu.

 

Yes, I would only attribute about 10whp at that level to the TB. I think the rest of it gets split between the IC and the fact that the exh. valves where fixed.,

Take no offense but that swahili makes no sense. AMS was absolutely right to question testing methods on their product especially since their results of R&D were different. Al was gracious to acknowledge that he could have done it different and DB that he personally didnt mean any harm. These guys figured it out but All to often fans on each side start stuff with a post like yours ruining a pretty good thread. Please dont take it as me jumping on you but you cannot read this thread and come to the conclusions you portray in your post so 1) its a misinterpretation on your part or 2) its meanness

 

If you have questions regarding Al's flashing service please either post them in his section of the forum or send him a PM.

Al, awesome numbers. Good luck this weekend. Hopefully you can raise the Evolution VIII bar a few notches.

-Paul

 

Not going to jump down your throat Str8Ryda, but your last post (as well as many other posts in this thread) was totally off topic.

I can't speak for David, but normally for a full race setup like this it is custom made to the customers needs. You call him up, tell him what size inlet and outlet pipes you want, and all the other concerns/questions you have. If he answeres to your satisfaction you buy his product.... if he doesn't answere to your satisfaction you buy someone elses product that you feel more comfortable with.

Either way, please leave it out of this thread.

Well it's cool whatever i'll drop it. Well Al i'll see you Aug 12 for a custom tune. Please dont blow my car up because i dont have buschur parts see ya!
