I just received the kit from John.
Need to install the software and do a ROM dump.
Car is 2015 Q40 sedan AWD.

Thanks John!

No tuners for the Z in Canada D:

E-tune my friend

Pulled the Trigger on the ECUTEK E-tune.

The cable is sitting in my garage, and the laptop shall be there after work.


WoOt

Can a great custom tune be done without a Dyno such as an E-Tune?

I shall report my findings in a few days.

You have to make some street runs to capture data and then send that off and wait for your new tuned setup.

You can get a good tune (good enough for most DDs) using remote tuning but you aren't going to get a great tune. "GTM TWIN KIT" tells me you're not in the "most DDs" category. ;)

it can ron, but you gonna have to find some wide open roads where u can get a buncha redline pulls. Street tuning can be dangerous lol

I am having a difficult time getting hold of Visconti to schedule another appointment.

The day I was scheduled to be tuned couldn't happen as my installer wasn't finished with the kit installation and that was last week, Thursday.

I tried hitting him up after picking up my car to reschedule but I am at his mercy to get my car tuned.

Mean while I am DD and that why is so much more so urgent for me to do so hence is why I have tried getting Visconti to schedule something asap.

:iagree: But That ain't funny bro.

Yes I did :) 302 WHP on custom tune. For NA only. Tuners wont do I FI car.

Ron ill talk to him personally for u when i run into him

So can someone explain exactly what the "flat foot shifting" is? I have heard of it before as in shifting with out taking your foot off the gas but was curious if this was the same thing. And how it works

Yes, shifting without lifting off the gas pedal - EcuTek - Flat-Foot Shifting

Woah, is that how the name is pronounced? I always assumed it was pronounced "E-C-U-teck".

Most tuners won't but Seb from Specialty Z does with the new EcuTEk features.....

Day 5

:stirthepot:

Are you sure? He wouldnt even Etune my car NA :/. Contacted him before John.

lol, you got ahold of John?

:gtfo2:

OPPSS

Yea :) , I was dealing with him for week-10days to get my tune completed a while back. I have the thread on here. My UPREV Vs ECUTEK.

Yep I was talking to Seb about the FI car he Etuned

Yeah I Shot Him A PM a week ago....gave him my email address and we chatted about it in more detail....email is a lot better to get a hold of him as he doesn't get on the forum daily like most of us....he myt have been bz with a backed up schedule when u first tried to Inquire about it....When I initially sent him a PM after reading his response on the GTM Supercharger he was doing live remote Tuning on with EcuTek he didn't respond to me until a few days later.....I'm currently saving up to make the switch over.

Email is the best way to get a hold of him. He responds to emails in the order they are received. And with that said he dyno tuned my car last night at pure automotive. I was completely surprised bc we havent really been in touch, but him and my shop worked for 20 hrs yesterday and got my tune done really late last night so i havent gotten all the details yet. I'll wait for him to contact me bc i think he drove all the way back to ct from md after he was done.

Oh yeah im officially in the 700whp club.
Only thing i know is that it was tuned on e70.

Great numbers and congratulations! I think they tune to e70 to compensate for any margin of error with the flex fuel sensor. I have yet to get an ethanol reading of above 83%.

thankyou hotrodz, Man you get up to 83% ? highest ive been seeing around my way is like 72-73% Either way im very happy and cant wait to see what 700 feels like =)

I can't imagine 700, 600 is a wild ride...yep, the ethanol here is pretty good stuff. I consistently at 82! Can't wait to hear your review...

well once i pick her up in i'll def write up a review for you guys.

Can someone please create a list of advantages and disadvantages, or feature compariosn between ECUTEK and UPREV?

Thank you.

i can name some advantages for you, but as far as disadvantages i cant think of any.

1. on the fly map switching, im pretty sure i wasnt able to do this on uprev but its very useful for me when im on the street and someone tries to test me, I can switch to map 4 and call it a day all while driving.
2. Flex fuel- Lets u run any mixture of pump gas or ethanol, or e85 whatevers convenient for u.
3. Built in TRC with a temp highjack
4. Launch control- super easy to engage, easy as turning vdc off, put into gear, and hit the gas and clutch at the same time.
5. no lift shifting- you can shift while never letting go of ur gas.
6. No need for a boost controller

and i cant think of anything else at the moment.

oh damn i thought of a disadvantage: You cant self tune with ecutek but with uprev you can. But im no tuner so its not really a disadvantage.

how is boost being controlled in ecutek without a boost controller? really curious about this.

i wish i knew the answer bro, all i know is that it is still utilizing the solenoid from my old boost controller, thats why i was selling my boost controller without the solenoid. Ask your tuner about it, he may be able to give u better answers. My boost controller just ended up being a boost gauge for a while so i took it out. i dont miss it or anything lol

Some of this is over my head.

Any chance you can dumb it down? :hello:

:iagree::iagree:

bump for a very important note added to the Original post

:iagree:

So are you still tuning, or all done?

Submitted file for processing on 10/24, it is currently 11/10. No file, no phone calls, no ETA.
I did, however, get my first e-mail from him saying I shouldn't e-mail so much, it'll slow down the ECU turn-around time. No ETA however.

OH i'm sorry, did customer service get in the way of doing your job? Oh wait, the job IS customer service. :mad:

:shakes head:

I REALLY wish there was an authorized shop in the area. This whole remote tune thing makes me nervous

I PM'ed and e-mailed with Sebastian after starting mine.

You should do the same, make yourself feel more comfy.

:iagree:
