I guess this is the perfect time to ask. Anyone here using anything other than uprev for tuning?

Unless you are going to ditch VVEL and go full standalone, then UpRev is the only good option. EcuTek came out and made a bunch of promises and then just basically dropped the platform.

I've been working with pro efi and was wondering if anyone was doing the same.

The vvel is really gay in this car.

The VVEL is really nice actually when you look at it's specs, you have 11.5mm of intake cam with >270Deg duration, but the car idles smooth and the torque curve is Flat from 3200-6500 rpm. The problem is none of the aftermarket ecu manufacturers have been able to step up and run it except motec(cashmoney$$).

It is also smooth, it doesn't "kick in" like vtec does

Exactly, Nissan found a way to run a bigass cam without the drawbacks that most consumers would complain about. It's just us guys who modify things that have problems with it.

I am going to be dropping my car off with seb tomorrow and the intake valvetrain is all original so we will see just what the stock vvel can really do sometime next week.

Motec you say? Im assuming you mean this thing? doesnt give much info on it.

I'm assuming the "special ****" is the dump truck load of cash that a Motec setup costs?

Are there any standalones that talk to OBD2 yet, or do you still have to have your OE ecu in there if you want to pass inspection "legally"?

If you want to do this your best bet is to use a gm hptuners setup and convert the sensors and triggers and delete vvel. Hptuner is basically a gm ecu that is what uprev wishes it was, you can control EVERYTHING.

I am a tuner for EFILive (HP Tuners direct competition) and while I agree it can do a lot I doubt you will be able to set it up to control a completely different car unless all the sensors and pickups are swapped out to GM or GM spec setups.

Yeah of course, you are gonna have to change triggers too, probably end up using the config for the gm 3.6L engine.

We need to get EFIlive or hptuners to support our platform at least then it will be a real company that actually has experience with that level of software reprogramming.
