I dont see why you couldnt log coolant pressure with ECUTEK. Could probably bring that in through the fuel temp sensor wire. I dont know if I see large benefits to it. You can sort of consider the coolant blasting out of the overflow as your peak hold gauge for that.

[QUOTE=hustleman222;3894387] With all that money you’re throwing into that motor. I don’t believe Ecu tek or uprev is the best option. If you have a gtr it would be a different story with Ecu tek. Why wouldn’t you want to protect your 15k investment. Real traction control, real boost control, all the safety features, tuning capabilities.

You can't do that with Ecuteck or Uprev. I may wait and get my Motec up and running before I do anything.
I want to keep track of my turbo speed. To fine tune boost in the lower rpms.

Custom maps you can get pretty creative.

I don't know if you can or can't with Ecuteck. You can acutally make the car shutoff if the coolant pressure is exceeded to save any damage. What I see is you will be able to tell if you have an issue before you pop the headgaskets or push coolant out the overflow. I watched a video of Jay from Real St. talk about the switch to a billet 2JZ. He did say what the coolant pressure was on the cast block and with their new billet block. I don't remember the numbers but it was an eye opener.

I mean, I suppose I would find the data interesting at the least. If I was trying to protect a billet block from taking damage maybe I would be more on board with it. But on a stock block, I wouldnt care. About to leak or already leaking is the same thing to me, just a failed attempt that needs to be built again.

I emailed Ecu tek about about logging capabilities all they said was go into custom maps. To me it sounded like R&D it yourself and once you figure it out let us know.

I have the actual paperwork from them on it. I will take a look later. I havent looked at that yet. I bet it's no big deal. It doesnt surprise me that they wouldnt make a big effort into explaining it via email... it may very well already be explained in the paperwork, and if its not, explaining it to a customer is not a very good use of time since you dont have access to the software to do it anyway :shrug:

I was pushing coolant at 625

I agree, You cant put down all the power in first or second anyways. You need to control the boost in first, ramp up in second and full out in third. I will be investing after I rebuild my engine.

My question was a bit vague. I’ll rephrase it, I want the ability to mat it in 1st-3rd on street tires without roasting the tires. Closest thing that my car will see to drag racing is 1/2 mile roll racing. My car build is directly around road racing, the less I have to think and/or to do on the track the more I can concentrate on laying down faster lap times. The most advance race cars in the world use motec or some other type of stand-alone for TC. For me, I’ve not seen any body take the factory Ecu to any heights that would hold me back from wanting a stand alone. I hope others tuners within the next year or so can come up with something other then flamp maps, pops and bang tunes.

I Here turns down the sensitivity on the knock sensors, well that’s what was said between him and another tuner feuding on FB.
