I finally got the AFE scorcher in and installed, I definitely notice a good increase in mid-range power.

I did some timed acceleration runs

40-100kph 8.15 sec stock 7.66sec in race mode

60-120kph 9.62sec stock 8.90sec in race mode

nothing was done from a dig i is I just wanted some quick easily repeatable runs to make sure my seat of the pants feel was correct.

the install wasn’t difficult but the instructions obviously aren’t correct since they are for a IS200T and the NX has a transverse engine. The MAP connector is down by the alternator so on the passenger side by the firewall and the TMAP is on the fuel rail in the middle of the engine near the firewall.

Since I just got it yesterday I haven’t messed with it too much, I haven’t ran the controller into the cab yet it’s still under the hood with the module so I have only run it in race mode.

Here is the part number for anyone curious and I circled in red where the connectors are for the transverse mounted engine on the NX the passenger side the connector is where I circled but down a bit lower by the alternator. I still have it in race mode and I definitely like the bump in mid range torque

it tricks the ECU into giving more boost, it alters the signal the ECU receives from the sensors.
