Updated 1st post.

If you want customer service, go to Sebastian @ SpecialtyZ.

:hello:

That sucks, man.

So who all offers the eTune, besides Visconti?

Seb at specialty z does e-tunes

:tup:

i CANNOT wait to go EcuTek

can Sebastian chime in
 

When you create a new .bin file does it cover all 4 map modes or they're built one at a time in one .bin?
Just curious to know which mode should I be driving on. i just got my first .bin file. Currently I'm driving on mode 1 (1000rpm) cause I'm assuming that's where we're starting. Also does launch control eventually get written in but in a different map mode? what map mode does Launch control usually get written in. Im just getting more curious as to how these maps are built. Appreciate you getting back to me.

The tuner will build 1 at a time, That's how mine worked. I DD on map 4 :)

:iagree:

Any one know if Se b@ SpecialtyZ gives forum members a discount on Ecutek pricing?

Just missed it... black friday had some discount for the "Stage 2" tune, but not for the eTune @ $600.

Does anyone know if the adjustable traction control can be adjusted to different levels in different gears? Off or nearly off in 1st grear for getting off the line, or more commonly, just pulling out into traffic on any uneven surface, and with nice "safe" intervention in higher gears so I can just leave VDC on all day instead of having to remember to turn it back on after I pull out of somewhere.

Does anyone else have a problem with launch control not working? Tuner sent snapshot to show that its been activated but whenever i switch to map 3 and try to use it, it never works. To use it i am turning off vdc, pressing and holding in clutch, engaging into first gear, wot, and trying to turn it down with cruise control but car just stays at redline. Tried it at least 7 times already and still not working. Anyone else have this issue or a solution? Thanks in advance!

I believe the traction control intervention setting, which hijacks the oil temperature gauge, applies to all gears; however, I think you are able to change it on the fly. I know this is cumbersome, but it appears to be the only way to have different intervention thresholds for different gears.

It seems you are correct in your sequence of initiating launch control. The bit of advice I can offer is that you must be sure to stab the accelerator to the floor and not ease into WOT.

Thanks!

Haven't tried it on mine yet (trying to baby my stock clutch)..but JTRAN did also tell me to slam the throttle and also mentioned it would not work until the car was up to temp.

Good point about temperature, although I can't imagine anyone who cares about their car (having already spent money on mods) would try to use launch control before the oil temperature is at least 180 degrees.

i dont usually throw my foot on the throttle like a brick going to WOT but ill give it a try and share the results.

Hey im going to tune my z with ecutek, hp before and after? are you on e85?

Is Seb the only one who offers the eTune option? Also, does anyone know his email?

It's on the specialty z website, sebastian@specialtyz.com

He's doing a dyno tune ( remotely) for me in the 23rd. I getting retuned. I just installed my headers a few days ago.

Visconti does etunes as well :) . My original tune is his.

Just got an email from Seb today b/c I am debating on taking the leap. Did you have uprev before? Can you tell the difference?

Stick with Seb for sure. You should def be able to tell the difference between Uprev and Ecutek. I know I did.

For sure there is. I felt a big difference , I dyno'd 15 whp more with ECUTEK than UPREV and the gains are though the whole power band!

I am tuned by Seb.... I had up rev before I switched to ecutek..
It was a no brainier to switch I noticed a difference immediately!!

Yes Ztuner in Bradenton

I have an Ecutek for almost 2 years now on my Q40 , but I hardly use the valet mode.
I don't know if it is a bug, but It would take me more than 10 attempts to disengage the valet mode.

My setup is 1k RPM (fuel saver) , 2k RPM (immobilizer) , 3k RPM (Tuned standard) , 4k RPM (aggressive) , 7.5k RPM (valet)

I don't have problem switching on and off with immobilizer setting, my issue is the valet mode.

Is there a sequence to disengage valet mode? I thought you just move the tach needle from 7.5k rpm (valet) to either map 1, 3 and 4?

if it is tune from Seb then no you must have missed his important note on how to get out of valet mode and not get stuck in it (I myself cant find where I read it now but I know I saw it).

to go to valet you hold cancel and then go to 7500 or 8 whatever it is and then hit cancel. to get back out of valet you hold cancel then go to 7500/8k and hit cancel. now your back to whatever map you were in before valet.

Does anyone know of any other features ecutek will use the stock gauges for? I'm thinking of replacing the stock gauges and I see people on the forum saying not to. I don't really see the problem with replacing the gauges if the ecutek program only uses them to display a few things

I wouldn't let it hold you back

I would give Seb a call. The main feature is the traction control which uses the oil pressure gauge. I think you may be able to use the ecutek dongle and your phone to adjust it.

How do you adjust the traction control?
I only know how to adjust the launch control

Traction control is done by pressing up or down on the cruise control lever and it registers on the oil pressure gauge.

In reading the tips in the first post, I would need to choose the custom tune option to take advantage of adjustable traction control and have different maps for different weather conditions?

Thanks guys I'll call seb to make sure

Does anyone know if flat foot shifting and launch control will work on a Z that doesn't have the sports package? Do these features require the synchrorev match transmission?

ECUTEK - Everything
 

It will not.

So given that these two features won't work in my Z, would it still be worth it to pay the extra cash and go with Ecutek over Uprev?
