yeah...Just the warm start issue. Trust me everytime I go to the shop that installed the system and tell them what I have found out and how to fix it the problem, I get the run around on when they can get to fix the problem. I'm hoping this other shop in town (if I ever get to see it) can fix the issues. It appears they do more than just hondas or cumstangs.

data log your info with the cipher software and send it into uprev for them to take a look at to fix the issue with the tune. will be easier than finding a shop that knows the vq platform....

tower74 01-16-2012 11:02 PM

And where can I pick said software?

Chinook 01-17-2012 06:28 AM

If you recieved the uprev cable as part of your kit the licensing agreement should be included as part of the cable then you go to uprev and download the program. The cost should be included as I'm pretty sure sts has payed for the programs already, at least they had with mine. If you talk to sts I'm sure they will walk you through it if you need.

do you have the uprev cable i would imagine this is how you loaded the tune the first time.

if so you should be able to download the software from Uprev, and do all the data logging you need.

edit just kidding you can download the software from their website, http://uprev.com/support.php look on the right side for downloads.

Just got a response from STS and they will help out the new shop if need be.....but I'll check that link out. Thanks.

Go to Uprev site click on support and down load the sofware its free to down load.

gbrettin 01-18-2012 01:06 PM

Let me know if they ever resolve the 7AT issue. I'm considering an STS kit.

Yeah....I'm talking with Marc (V/P of Research and Development) about it and Andrew @ UAMotersports. Andrew is telling me the numbers I got are really low. He said they were getting closer to 475hp and up one this kit. He also told the 7AT should be any lower than the manual.
At the same time it's my belief that the shop that did my tune had little experience with imports (their shop was full on mustangs etc) and the equipment was old as hell. Don't get me wrong good guys and did a good install but I'm pretty sure their quipment was past it's prime.
More detailed info coming, which I was told will answer many questions. I hope :D

To be honest no clue...when we were about to start the tuning the pos broke down. I can say it is in the ground and if it wasn't built with the shop I would be amazed. The shop has got to be at least 25 years old. When we were tuning I didn't even want to film because of the condition of the shop...who uses styrofoam and a old tire as a security measure.

kosstick 01-19-2012 09:44 AM

I would like to know what dyno they used as well..

You and me both. After my build they have stopped returning my phone calls. I know they lost their *** in the install, so I'm pretty sure they never want to see me again. I'm sure they are counting the days down when the 1year warranty is up.

erkthejerk73 01-19-2012 10:33 AM

what shop is that just so no one else goes there?

It's called Executive Performance....they are the only local STS dealer. They did a good job up until the end. They just have to much on their plate...to the point of cars sitting outside waiting to be worked on....good guys but like I said early it's my belief they are more experienced on domestic than imports.

That is something you would have to ask Andrew / Jamaica(dyno ?) ....not sure but I seriously doubt its the dinosaur my car was tuned on.

Hopefully soon....pics/vids/etc.....it's gonna be minute before I'm back in town to get my car re-tuned. I'm also going to be adding different headers in the next couple months.

Cell 01-24-2012 12:02 AM

I posted that red nismo a while ago. It is in this thread somewhere...

tower74 01-24-2012 07:42 AM

It really shows nothing...its only 20 or so seconds . Kinda pointless

erkthejerk73 01-24-2012 07:49 AM

tower i think we are going to need some more videos from you.

edub370 01-24-2012 07:56 AM

we are having a dyno meet on march 3rd, im sure we could get another video (maybe dyno run) of towers car if people are dying to see it. or at least some pics of the setup or something

erkthejerk73 01-24-2012 08:12 AM

hopefully by then i will have mine, just waiting on my 350 to sell still!

Glad to here more are joining the sts ranks. Only two confirmed on here. I know black&orange was receiving his shortly.

I think,and could be wrong, that the guys at UAM are working on a twin version for the Z. Which would be extra sweet if converting a single to a twin would be nothing more than a new Turbo and some piping .....and of course a tune.

blackonorange 01-24-2012 08:53 PM

I've only got my uprev cable so far lol rest is on the way

Do you know what type of tune they sent with it? Tried to talk with someone at STS today so I can get mine tuned again by a shop that works on imports rather than domestics.

blackonorange 01-24-2012 09:52 PM

Nah idk just basic is what I understand

gbrettin 01-25-2012 07:28 AM

I'm still on the fence. I'd like to see more STS installs and videos before I pull the trigger (late this year).

blackonorange 01-25-2012 08:05 AM

I'll have lots I'm gonna beat on this thing for the cOmmunity xD

tower74 01-25-2012 08:55 AM

The earliest I could get anything would be around the last week of February. I'm working out of town but when I get back I will be replacing the stock body kit with a new amuse kit. So that will expose the inner cooler,oil cooler and piping. I'm also going to be pulling out the intake pipes to paint them black. The car will also be on a lift, so I should be able to get some under the car pics. Also that same week I will be taking it to get a new tune( hopefully more HP), so I should be able to get a video of the dyno pulls. I know for the people on the fence, lets just say this.
If you want more HP for your money go with the squires Turbo system ...the stage one twins only pull about 425the the single sts pulls around 460-480hp for about $1000-$2000 less. Also with Turbo be in the back it , there is a lot less heat brewing under the hood. My oil temps run between 180-220 on average.

the sts stock tune that comes with the kit is very safe i believe.

If you are going to get another tune go to someone who knows the Uprev software, i would stay away from a first time tuner on the software.

I believe that was my problem ...domestic boys working on an import . The next shop works with uprev and does imports.
