Why do you think Ecutek is better than Uprev?

Cuz Ecutek is true ECU control where UpRev is more like a hack. Not to mention Ecutek offers more stuff (boost by gear, launch control, traction control, true timing control, etc)

Multiple maps, launch control, VVEL control, speed density tuning, flat foot shifting, knock sensing, boost control, gauge hijack (display all sorts of stuff on the OEM oil temp gauge), support for much larger injectors, traction control tuning, greater tuning resolution, your fuel computer will work properly, etc.. NA guys have switched to Ecutek from Uprev and gained power across the whole band. I don't personally have any Uprev experience, but Johnny (JTRAN) was telling me it is pretty much superior in every single way (And he tunes both products). If you're going to pay for a new tune, there is no reason not to spend the extra few bucks for an Ecutek license.

This is true. I've had second hand experience with both. Nick at soho Motorsports down here in Charlotte just start using it about a month ago and he loves it. Was with him the other day when he was tuning a 2014 nismo and it just seemed to go way more in depth. I'll be getting a new tune soon

My 9 psi pulley is 2.90". So if he dropped down to even 3.1 he should be good since that is roughly 2 psi.

JWillis72 · 01-16-2016, 11:19 PM

Is that on the supercharger or the Jack shaft?

Serp side pulley.

TopgunZ · 01-16-2016, 11:23 PM

It is 1:1 from there at 3.2 to 3.2. So he could go 3.4 sc and it would be the same.

JWillis72 · 01-17-2016, 12:35 PM

He doesn't have the 9 lb pulley, only the impeller and is getting 10psi. Do you still think that's the right Jack shaft pulley size?

Yes, he needs to go down 2 psi. So up sc by 0.20 or drop js by 0.20.

His kit was not stock and he had a lot of questions about how good his tuner was. The way Stillen sells it works great, it people that try to make more power that have trouble.
