Beats the heck out of swapping EPROM chips. When the weather cools off again in a couple months I will get the dyno done and see what numbers this thing is making.
Again good job! |
Re: 1994 Infiniti Q45 rear mount turbo project
One of the cleanest and most original builds ever.
Waiting to see some videos of you raping evo's off the line and roll. That would be some sick ---- man. |
Re: 1994 Infiniti Q45 rear mount turbo project
You are going to like the Moates gear. It's super robust and reliable, and lasts a lifetime.

Re: 1994 Infiniti Q45 rear mount turbo project
I've been fighting my Ostrich since I got it in April. First it came vendor-locked, which took forever to figure out wtf was up with it. Luckly I found some obscure post about TunerPro being able to reinitialize it. Then I finally get my backup license for Crome Pro (the Ostrich was the reason I lost my original reg key, as I thought it was my WinXP install locking it) and I find out the ------- thing is sending ZERO signals through the cable. Long story short, I'm taking full advantage of their 30day return policy - I bought another, and I'm returning this in its place. That, or I'm issuing a chargeback.
Never, ever, ever, have I had such a rough time with hardware. I seriously thought about stealing a CC to pay for this to rip them off, I was so ------- pissed. Cocksucker needs to test his stuff before it ships, period. :7 |
Re: 1994 Infiniti Q45 rear mount turbo project
I had some trouble getting the Ostrich to communicate as well at first. It turns out I needed their socket booster. As soon as I plugged that in the thing fired right up and has worked flawlessly ever since. You might want to consider checking into that option.

Re: 1994 Infiniti Q45 rear mount turbo project
HiProfile has limited experience or understanding, $5 says he had port settings all wrong. Choosing too high or too low a baud rate will cause the problem he describes.
Also, don't confuse what eCtune does with what the Moates gear does. Install S or K Manager on some computers and it takes an act of god to get Moates gear to work again without a reformat - $10 says Doug made their FTDI drivers do that on purpose. |
