I never thought of superchips on internet. The Nissan forum really impacts my mind that they talks about the WOT restriction. Wow. Interesting. I now understand they complaints about insufficient WOT, they (WOT) are used in ETC that the computer controls ETC for some safely reasons. If you floor gas pedal with a key on & engine off, throttle will be 100 % wide open. On road, you try to floor gas pedal, throttle would be 50% wide open cuz the computer read outputs from VSS, engine RPM and some other sensors. I don't know if WOT chip will help?

yes it's for safety reason. WOT wears down your belt, chain, engine, etc. In my Xterra - WOT kicks in at around 40 mph. People buy chip to use WOT at 0mph.

Don't Nissan have Trac or ETC button?

Jiro, I've been reading the 2nd gen Nissan forum, was surprising to see some posters were talking about the WOT restriction, said the Superchip Cortex is worth to remove the WOT restriction. However, I didnt see the feature of the WOT restriction removal in Superchip but I see the rev limiter in the feature of SC. I think the SC is reprogramming the PCM to increase rev limiter that mean the throttle butterfly will open more wide. Am I wrong?
If you are a SC user, make sure to pull trouble codes (write down a note for future ref.) ,clear trouble codes and restore back to stock PCM, drive till MIL come back, check trouble codes if same codes or other codes then send it to a dealership, dont clear trouble codes. Dont say anything. They maybe cover the powertrain/emission warranty.

I guess they used other chip. I didn't research much into it because I'm not buying one anytime soon.

Yep, IF you want WOT then simple button VDC to disable for fun or racing or something. I forget that your SUV is 2011. That's mean it's ESC install by factory due law.

I read the posters in a Nissan forum, says same thing..... like pull brake light fuse to do burnout the rear tires. Strange posters.

I picked up a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan w/a 3.3L V6, for replace spark plugs per customer request last Saturday. This mini van was not a good transport cuz we saw a same customer (real cheap ass) who asked us to check the fluid levels, my deaf tech told me that he poured about 1 1/2 gallon of water into the radiator neck and refill 3 quarts of motor oil into the engine. I asked why water in coolant. He says a customer couldnt afford to buy one gallon coolant , want water and just oils. That was happen last a couple of weeks ago.
I started it and drove it over the service bay, feel bad shaky engine like 5 cylinders and no power brake and MIL on. I think it was vacuum line broken cuz of no power brake.
I pulled DTCs.... one code was MAP (manifold air pressure) sensor, no misfire counters. I know there is heavy misfire that suppose to be create misfire counters but I took my vacuum gauge to check the vacuum in intake manifold, was shunned to see the needle in a vac gauge reveals 2 inch to 6 inch bounces forth and back. That made me exciting, let me guess is valve train problem. I informed my service manager about it. He want me to put new spark plugs cuz he advised a customer to diagnose a rough running but a customer want new spark plugs without diagnose. Then I removed a cowl assy from the firewall to access the rear bank of the spark plugs, I removed all plugs and WOT and performed compression test. Found no compression in cylinder #3 and other cylinders good compression about 175-180 psi. Put new plugs in, same POS. I put a cowl assy back. We informed a customer about it and charged him $205 dollars for new spark plugs and labor. Why should he go with $90 dollars diagnose? Anyway, I suspect the no compression in cylinder#3, causes burnt valve or broken valve spring or broken rocker arm. I didnt perform a leakdown test to pinpoint the problem due to a customer's money hardship.

My car currently at 118,550, nearing 120k miles! Im due for an oil change and transmission fluid change next month.

PowerON · 03-28-2011, 11:47 AM

What car? Average 32.3 mpg per tank? in city? highway?......

JBPatton · 06-17-2011, 01:45 AM

1984 F-150 with 986,342 miles, it's on it's 3rd engine and 2nd transmission. Dad bought it brand new in 83 motor 1 died at 140,000 oil pump failure, grandpa rebuilt it and drove it till daddy handed it of to me in high school. Then I took it apart 941,645 and added a bigger grumpy cam, ported the heads, headers exhaust, 4barrel carb, 2200 stall torque converter, 3:73 gears, and a Detroit locker. It wasn't fast enough for me when I got it. Dad always changed the oil frequently and never hot rodded it... Till I got ahold of it, I'll never forget the smile on his face, said it scared the he'll outta him. I could go back into the motor and drop a stroker in it just for fun!

That's mean around 300k miles each engines. Not big "wow" to me.

Most semi-truck can do over 1,000,000 on single diesel engine.

But they are supposed to. Cars aren't really meant to go that many miles.

It's gasoline engine, and it's pretty short life than diesel engine. Like VW TDI can do over 500k miles without problem. It's don't meant all cars are same. It's about engine type. Again, F-150 is big engine and and it last around 300k miles? Not big wow to me.
