Hi guys
Wanted to find out if its possible to set the CO on stock management? I have upgraded the turbo but feel that its running too rich. Everything else is stock. Boost set on 0.8. I prefer the stock ecu over the aftermarket as I have a aftermarket on sentra coupe with det engine. The starting is not so wonderful as the stock and theres always the doubt if its tuned correctly. I have taken it to a reputable tuner thats been long in the bizz. Want to upgrade in the future from stock with nistune but for now I just want it running gooood. All suggestions welcome :geek:

You will be better off just going for Nistune now tbh, you can buy a hist of Apex units that adjusts signals going to the ECU to fine tune it but they aren't cheap and aren't nearly as refinde as Nistune! You can't go wrong, and for 6-7k it's cheap.

You need to drill a hole in the AFM housing to access the adjusting screw. Its all explained in the manual.
I really don't like the idea of adjusting it however. My simple mind tells me you should run leaner with a larger turbo, not rich.
The AFM already adjusts for measured airflow. If you're running rich you must have a boost leak? are you running an atmospheric BOV? that will make you run rich when it dumps the air.

Im also a bit sceptical of adjsting at the afm. The question is how much and so on. I have a spare afm that is drilled already. Think I shud take my chances with that on. Dont have a bov on,jst the stock recirculation system. I checked the boost pipes as u mentioned. All clamps r solid tight and no holes in the piping. Changed turbo to gt28rs. Getting about 350km to the tank driving like a granny.

Have you checked your ecu for fault codes?
A faulty temp sensor or knock sensor would also cause you to run rich.
