ECUtek process and results
 
Hello all,

I have recently had my car flashed remotely by John Visconti.

#1. There is no such thing as an "Off the shelf" tune for the 370z.
#2. You will have to dyno-pull your car on the street while recording OBD data with a laptop... several times.
#3. The "Canned e-tune" has a lot more involved than "upload the new file"
#4. Check engine lights are now a daily occurrence (Sh*t) detonation sensors
#5. Tuner's response: "If you want a better tune, sign up for the Custom tune program." This costs $300 more than the $650 already laid down.

== Summary ==

Sean says: Getting tuned via ECUtek is not worth:
  • The mildly better throttle response
  • Early cylinder detonation <-- bad for engine internals, Check engine lights
  • Increased mid-range pull
  • Frustration dealing with remote tuners


Translation: I wish I bought front camber arms instead.
:shakes head:

That sucks, sounds like more of an issue with the tuner vs ecutek itself

I've never agreed with having a car "remote tuned". I know people will swear by it but if you are doing something as serious as tuning the car, find a way to get it done on a dyno by a competent tuner.

Fixed :tiphat:

Also, you went from stock to EcuTek and thought the throttle response improvement was only "mild"? In my experience, my EcuTek tuned car has significantly improved throttle response over even the Uprev tuned Z's I've driven.

OP, is this the same tuner that took forever to get back to you when you first sent your files?

Visconti viscontinues another engine.

Wouldn't trust this guy to deliver me a pizza because his flex E85 **** will burn down my car and he'll run over my dog too


Google this clown, he's burned up BRZs GTRs and other cars
