UpRev tuner in the greater Seattle area?

seymore4 · 02-23-2011, 03:49 AM

I remember a guy from last December who had an appointment, called to verify the day prior, then made the 5 HOUR drive down to Kito to get his Osiris tune. They dicked him around for a couple hours then were in the end unable to do it??? Last I remember he went to Intec and they even stayed late to finish his tune. That's customer service IMO

Wow, that wasn't my experience. It is kind of weird to hear about something fairly opposite? I didn't go South because someone on here complained about how their performance was screwed (but they had an AT). I guess good and bad at both places then…..

Anyway I really do like my tune

I've seen Lawrence do this all too often to make sure the tune is done right. I only go to them.

My Uprev tune has been great. We're hoping to look into throttle issues that plague the 370z.

Forgot to say that Lawrence has gotten my tune almost to 300rwhp.

Lawrence got me to 315 and 265 tq

I have been talking to Joe at Intec. I am leaning in that direction...

NICE!! I've probably seen a picture of your car on their FB page.

Nope...not me.

I had my 370Z done by Lawrence at Indec Racing and was very impressed. He put in five different maps controlled by the cruise control buttons. They have to dyno in fourth gear because their dyno can't handle the speed in fifth.

I couldn't believe the difference after my first Osiris tune as well, the way the car responds is just amazing! Nissan would've sold a million of them if they came like this from the factory

Maybe you guys can elaborate why intec's service was so good. And the difference the tune made to your z.

seymore4 · 02-25-2011, 08:46 PM

I actually ran into the guy at the Chevron after he got tuned, can't remember his name but he said he showed up at Intec and they stayed late to get his tune done and not just rush through it, even though he didn't have an appointment. He had to get a hotel in town and drive back the next morning but seemed stoked to be able to get tuned

I've never been to Kito so I can't speak either way for their tuning, but from what friends tell me and their website they seem to specialize in Subarus... A little different to tune than Nissans. When I had questions about tuning my G35 back in the day Lawrence was more than helpful, even brought out his laptop and showed me the fuel maps and whatnot and explained how the tune makes a difference.

Nissan really upgraded the motors for the 370's, so you won't see massive top end gains like the old VQ35DE motors, but you'll gain a lot of responsiveness and smoothness throughout the powerband. No more hickups or jerkyness, just strong pulling all the way to redline. And better gas mileage as a benefit

Just got my tune done by Lawrence at Intec. He knows what he's talking about and was really helpful. Don't go expecting huge gains, especially when stock. Very small peak gains (4-5 hp) but a better feel across the band. Definitely noticed a difference passing on the highway. I'll put up the graphs once they send them and post any differences I see in gas mileage. It will be cheap and easy to tune after any future mods since most of the investment is for the license and establishing the baseline.

Jordan,

Any chance you can post your charts so we can see how your tune came out?
