Chip tuning Nissan X-Trail T31. Removing the catalyst. Report. Tuning Nissan X Trail - the basics of self-pumping a crossover Increasing engine power

And so it has a bright and catchy appearance. Therefore, independent “refinement” of the exterior requires only adding a few final “strokes” that emphasize (to a greater extent) the individuality of the owner of the X-Trail. The same axiom applies to the improvement procedure technical indicators"Japanese".

Increasing engine power

Increase power native engine X-Trail is possible using special devices. This kind of “pumping” of a car has been used not so long ago and is called “chip tuning”. Several types of devices are used for this:

1. RSchip - add-on module for electronic control engine. Tuning the Nissan X Trail using this device is based on changing the values ​​of the amount of fuel supplied and the degrees of ignition timing set by the manufacturer. This increases the engine power and torque. All parameters change dynamically and their value directly depends on the load that the car engine “experiences” in at the moment time.

Ignition timing is the angle of rotation of the element crank mechanism from the start of current supply to the spark plug (ignition) until the moment at which the piston reaches the dead center position.

2. RSchip Turbo - devices at high speed changes the value of indicators coming from several electronic sensors to the car's engine control module. As a result, higher engine performance results are achieved.

This Tuning of the Nissan X Trail allows you to increase the power of an SUV’s gasoline engine by 17-20 “horses.” More impressive results with the help of chip tuning can be achieved on cars equipped with turbodiesel units. The devices listed above provide the X-Trail diesel engine with a power increase of 30-53 horsepower.

The cost of “pumping” a crossover engine ranges from 14-20 thousand rubles. More expensive option is chip tuning of turbocharged diesel engines. As a result of such an “independent” alteration, not a single component of the car suffers. Therefore, tuning will not cause any complaints from the manufacturer’s service centers.

Upgrading the standard optics package

X-Trail has an expressive and extraordinary appearance, but some of the owners are not averse to “touching up the eyes” of their car. More precisely, upgrade its standard optics package. Moreover, you can upgrade both the headlights and rear lights.

The most in a simple way To carry out Tuning a Nissan X Trail from the front is to independently install an additional lighting package on the headlights, which is popularly affectionately nicknamed “Angel Eyes”. It features a neon ring around the front light bulbs. The package includes 4 ring-shaped lamps made using CCFL technology. Their rated power ranges from 2 to 4 W, their guaranteed service life is 40 thousand hours, and their cost is several thousand rubles.

CCFL is a technology for the production of modern lamps that use a cold cathode as a lighting element. The design of such a lamp consists of a glass tube, tightly sealed on all sides and filled with a mixture of inert gas and mercury.

In addition to aesthetic functions, giving the front of the car individuality, angel eyes also have practical significance. They are used as lanterns daylight. The lighting package, consisting of CCFL lamps, is characterized by low energy consumption, even compared to LED analogues. Therefore, it can also be used as parking lights.

Body kit for X-Trail

A body kit for a Nissan X Trail is the most popular way to independently “upgrade” a Japanese crossover. All body kits perform several basic functions:

• Aesthetic - giving the SUV a bright and recognizable appearance;
• Protective - protect individual elements the car and the entire structure as a whole from destruction;
• Aerodynamic - reduces the resistance of the car body to air flows when driving;

The well-known “kenguryatnik” is also a body kit and serves not only as a place to mount headlights, but also to impart greater rigidity to the entire body structure.

Depending on the material of manufacture, body kits are divided into:

• Plastic - used to protect car elements such as sills, doors and hoods;
• Fiberglass - used to improve the aerodynamics of the crossover body and partially to protect the glass (transparent body kits);
• Metal - used for attaching additional attachments: lights, winches.

Interior tuning

In addition to internal and external changes, you should not miss the opportunity to increase the number of amenities in the cabin. Many are attracted by the basic upholstery, the multimedia system, and the ergonomics of the interior. However, each driver has his own personality. You can add carbon inserts to the steering wheel, dashboard, and gear lever. In addition, you can buy not the typical black ones, but more striking ones.

Luggage compartment in Japanese crossover spacious, especially considering the ability to lower the last row of seats. However, this place can be adjusted to suit you. The trunk can be supplemented with additional fastenings for convenient transportation of furniture, strollers or bicycles. Also, various hidden containers for storing tools and other things will not hurt.

We invite you to compare interior design Nissan X Trail with interiors of other mid-size crossovers and SUVs that you can view. You can also get acquainted with the design of car interiors from one price category in this article.

In addition to visible changes, invisible but important procedures can be carried out such as noise and heat insulation. Not everyone undertakes them, because the task is not easy and expensive. However, you can find fairly detailed and clear instructions for step-by-step tuning of the interior. After this kind of improvement, being in the Nissan X Trail will be more comfortable for the driver and his passengers.

The Nissan X-Trail in the T 31 body is the latest representative of the model, equipped with an all-wheel drive system in all trim levels. This body embodied all the features of a truly masculine SUV with increased “brutality.” The equipment required a large number of engines and a different set of transmissions.

Motor improvement

Availability of various equipment options power units, gasoline engines easily lend themselves to this modernization, receiving an increase in power characteristics(the increase in power can be within 5-7%, which will result in an increase of 8-10 horsepower), and acceleration dynamics can increase by 0.4 seconds. But this information will help you understand how to do chip tuning for Nissan Murano z51

The chip tuning procedure is carried out in several stages:

The positive aspects include an unconditional increase in engine power and dynamic characteristics car.

Negative aspects include the loss of manufacturer's warranty obligations regarding engine systems, as well as an increase in fuel consumption, although small (within 5%).

The cost of work in a specialized service will be about 8,000 rubles.

You can carry out the work yourself with your own hands, but this will require, in addition to special equipment also knowledge in the field of programming and repair.

External and internal car tuning

External tuning of the model includes:

On video tuning Nissan X Trail T31 radiator grille:

• Installation of tuning headlights or replacement of standard lamps. Some owners install other headlights on their car with more powerful blocks light or change halogen light on xenon lamps or install bi-xenon blocks. The cost of xenon lamps starts from 500 rubles per unit, and bi-xenon units cost about 3,500 rubles per set. Also, plastic linings are installed on the headlights - “eyelashes”, which give the appearance of the front part an aggressive look. And here’s how they are installed

Chipovka Nissan engine X-Trail 2.0i is generally produced through diagnostic connector. In extremely rare cases, work must be performed with the removal and disassembly of the engine control unit. The ECU is located in the engine compartment next to the battery

Before carrying out work, our specialists read the errors - you cannot take into work a car with engine problems. The only exceptions are engine problems that can be solved using software methods, for example, catalyst errors.

The OBDII diagnostic connector is located under the steering column behind the plastic panel:

As a result of flashing the ECU of the Nissan X-Trail engine, throttle response increases throughout the entire speed range, the hesitation of the gas pedal decreases, and the maximum power and torque of the engine increases by up to 10%. That is, the engine is very good in control!

It is also possible to turn off the catalyst. In this case, the diagnostics of the oxygen sensor after the catalyst (second lambda probe) is disabled. Physically, the catalysts are located on the manifold and under the vehicle. Removing them and replacing them with flame arresters takes at least 3-4 hours

Chip time for a Nissan X-Trail 2.0 engine is about 2 hours

Good afternoon. In today's article we will talk about weak points Nissan X-Trail various modifications. Traditionally for our site, the article will contain a lot of photos and videos.

History of the model.

Nissan X-Trail has been produced since 2001 by Nissan in Japan, Canada, Russia and the UK. During its production, the car went through 3 generations, each of which had a different platform, and went through several minor restylings. Since the platforms are different, each generation will have its own weaknesses, and we will consider them separately.

Separately, I would like to emphasize that the Nissan X-trail, of any generation, is not an SUV; it is an ordinary parquet and its place is on the asphalt!

The main drive for this car is front-wheel drive, four-wheel drive connects automatically when one of the wheels slips and, by and large, is a driver assistance system. T.N. hard locking of the center differential, connects rear axle multi-disc friction clutch, and operates at speeds up to 30 km/h, and then the system switches to automatic mode.

In general, the car outperforms Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV4, Honda SRV, but hopelessly lags behind Land Rover Freedlander and (the issue is the reduction gear in the transmission).

First generation Nissan X-Trail (Nissan X-Trail T30).

The first generation of the car is based on the modernized Nissan FF-S platform; previously they were produced on this platform Nissan cars Almeria and Nissan Primera. Produced from 2002 to 2007. Distinctive feature The car is inconveniently located instruments (in the center of the panel).

X-Trail T30 meets gasoline engines volume 2.0 l. (140 hp), and 2.5 l. (165 hp), as well as with a 2.2 liter diesel engine. (114 hp)

If you come across an export X-Trail from Japan, it is somewhat more interesting - a 2.0-liter gasoline engine in the naturally aspirated version it develops 150 hp. 150 hp and 280 hp with turbocharging.

In 2003, the first generation was restyled, with bumpers and interior trim changed, and engine power slightly increased.

In the case of Russia, the optimal choice seems to be a manual car with a 2.5 liter engine. Its fuel consumption is almost the same as version 2.0 (and in the urban cycle it will often be lower), and transport tax remains at an acceptable level. Spare parts are also common.

Diesel is more economical than gasoline versions, but has problems with maintenance; there are few diesel specialists.

There are no invulnerable cars, no matter what advertising might have us believe. Each mechanism has problems and shortcomings, specific “sores”. A car is a collection of a huge number of mechanisms and everything that spins, rubs, switches, rotates, and comes into contact with the external environment is subject to deformation and is potentially vulnerable. Nissan X-Trail is no exception. In fairness, we note that Lexuses, Porsches, Mercedes are no less vulnerable and have their own disadvantages, pros and cons.

Until 2009, all Nissans were imported from Japan. After the opening of assembly production at the plant in Shushary near St. Petersburg, the flow of imported cars in the European part of Russia sharply decreased, supplies appeared Nissan local assemblies. Supplies from Japan are relevant for Siberia and the Far East, where even right-hand drive versions are often found.

Versions and improvements

When buying a used car, especially one as expensive as the Nissan X-Trail, you need to understand that many components are worn out, and no one will replace expensive parts beyond the necessary pre-sale preparation. Let's look at the Nissan Xtrail pros and cons in order to focus on secondary market.

The weaknesses of the Nissan X-Trail were consistently worked out by designers, engineers and designers. The shortcomings of previous versions are eliminated quite quickly. Only a car cast entirely from titanium and launched into orbit, beyond the atmosphere, can be invulnerable.

Ixtrail has an incredible number of modifications and restylings. Cars Nissan X-Trail T30: 2001, 2003; : 2007, 2010; : 2015 - differ from each other quite significantly. The car of the first wave was progressive for its class, but the interior decoration was frankly simple. Restyling 2003 was carried out according to the requirements of consumers, for whom a line of wishes was specially opened. In 2007, the shortcomings of the control systems were eliminated, the CVTs, interior, and trunk were improved.

The most popular version on the secondary market was the 2007 version. This is due to the relatively low price and availability of basic technical innovations. Besides everything that could be broken has already been broken and replaced, Accordingly, with skillful choice and a certain amount of luck, you won’t have to invest in expensive repairs immediately after purchasing a car.

Modern shortcomings and shortcomings of the Nissan X-Trail T31 according to car owners:

The washer reservoir is a simple plastic container with tubes

1 Lack of washer reservoir level indicator

2 Unreliable fuel level sensor

Illuminated buttons on the driver's door in the dark

3 Driver's door buttons do not light up properly

Nissan X-Trail trunk curtain

4 Inconvenient trunk curtain

Gas stop for the fifth door Nissan X-Trail

5 Weak fifth door stops

Nissan X-Trail gas struts do not always cope with the heavy fifth door. This is especially noticeable in cold weather and frost.

Operational problems

Relatively serious problems with the Nissan X-Trail begin after a year of use. Rust appears on the 5th door, which was slammed several times. Problems with the paintwork on the roof may occur, especially if you happen to drive through the bushes and do not notice small scratches that appear. Problems arise related to insufficiently careful handling and testing. extreme modes car, checking capabilities.

Problems with wiring and abrasion of cables

From operating practice, it is quite obvious that all moving parts are subject to increased wear. As for the wires and cables laid in moving mechanisms, they also wear out, wear out, the insulation deteriorates, the wiring shorts out, the wires break and fray, and the microcircuits fail.

Traditional problems with car electronics; This is abrasion of control wires, cables, breakdown of controllers and buttons. What can we say if, even in old VAZs, the brake lights and turn signals fail, and on the left side, where the driver’s door provides additional mechanical stress on the wires. So, in the Nissan X-Trail, part of the control wire systems, buttons and cables are located on the steering wheel. Audio system cables, cruise control, speakerphone located on rotating elements are subject to abrasion.

Right front door wiring

In the hands of a competent electrician, the problem with cables can be easily eliminated. If there is no competent electrician, or the abrasion of the loops is catastrophic, that is, not “a little insulation”, but “in rags,” repair and replacement of the control loops will cost tens of thousands of rubles.

The electric seat adjustment drives of the Nissan X-Trail are also weak points due to increased mobility. This especially applies to the driver's seat. Wear and tear of electrical circuits and cables is inevitable. And in the case of the Nissan X-Trail, a significant part of the electrics is located in moving parts, which increases wear many times over.

In addition to direct mechanical impact, there is the problem of condensation of excess moisture, difficult temperature conditions, strong heating near the rubbing parts of the mechanism, and unreliable protection of some components from dirt.

Sensors

Sensors that do not transmit data correctly are serious shortcomings of the Nissan X-Trail from the very first to the latest models. Quite often this is a problem for a car owner who does not want to spend extra money on replacing a combined unit. By the way, there are a decent number of combined units in the Nissan X-Trail.

Resistor sensor open type: contacts constantly float in fuel

Fuel sensors. Ixtrail has two of them. The contacts of the fuel gauge become stuck, clogged and oxidized; for this reason, the sensor readings are not very accurate. In this case, it is pointless to measure the pros and cons of the car.

Fuel level sensor, which is combined with a fuel pump

The problem can be solved in the usual way by simply cleaning the boards. The “right” filter is no problem, but the “left” one is combined with the fuel pump. Replacement will cost more than 10,000 rubles. For this reason, many drivers limit themselves to cleaning the right one, which does not contribute to the efficient operation of the level indicator.

In extreme conditions, which according to the Nissan X-Trail regulations include sub-zero temperatures, components should be replaced more often.

The same applies to the oil filter.

Expensive components

Cheap repairs for the Nissan X-Trail are impossible in principle. When considering the pros and cons of the Nissan X Trail, it is necessary to note expensive components for which replacement is recommended at the end of their service life.

This applies to scheduled work with CVT gearbox. Most CVTs use special CVT Fluid NS‑2 oil, which is more expensive than regular oil transmission fluid. Oil filter, which needs to be changed simultaneously with an oil change, has additional functions and costs a decent amount. It is recommended to change the oil 2 times a year, which is approximately 32 thousand annually. In case of problems with the variator, and they arise due to incorrect user actions, an unscheduled oil change may be supplemented by changing the belt and grinding the pulleys.

Technical shortcomings

Minor problems with the Nissan X-Trail, especially those purchased on the secondary market, are very unpleasant for the driver - these are plastic rattling parts in the cabin, as they are called “crickets”. The driver's problem is that by getting used to not paying attention to small clicking and creaking noises, you can miss a serious problem. The howl of the variator, of course, cannot be confused with anything, but it’s easy to miss the clicking and tapping of the steering rack.

Let's list the most vulnerabilities Nissan X-Trail in terms of unexpected squeaks:

• On the outside there is a panel above the wipers. By the way, if cold weather is approaching, it is advisable to replace the standard wipers immediately; they are often made of rubber, which is not sufficiently resistant to frost. A nasty grinding sound on glass instead of soft sliding can be an unpleasant surprise.
• Center console.
• Heating system. The motor in it whistles and clicks, which will have to be replaced over time.
• The seats, although of the latest type and stuffed with electronics, after 2-3 years squeak almost like a grandmother’s spring sofa. This is, in principle, normal. None of the drivers complain about the seats and everyone finds the adjustment system very convenient. And they simply get used to the creaking and are surprised when strangers, for example, when selling a car, pay attention to the rather loud creaking.

Nissan X-Trail is not the best cheap car and requires considerable investment in monthly maintenance; filters must be changed in accordance with the maintenance schedule, regardless of cost.

With proper driving and regular maintenance, new Nissan X-Trail will not cause problems.
