Just buy a used iPhone that you can leave in the car

Data logging is as simple as answering a call, no laptop or cables!

Many other functions.

Bit ironic that the bluetooth app only works on apple products, but you need a PC to flash the tune in the first place!

Wireless logging would be sweet. Especially if it would remember what parameters you set instead of having to deselect a whole bunch every time.

Hotrodz

This, you would think it they would want to make available for both platforms!

It does remember all the parameters you select or that your tuner wants you to log.

They are working on several more options including flashing the ECU from this device.

When I first purchased they did not have boost control via iPhone slider and now they do! I am sure more is coming

So you think it is worth the $350 price tag for the dongle?

I already have what is supposed to to be best dongle that was $100, unfortunately this app isn't compatible with it - won't even show up in the list when trying to pair. Wonder if my other apps would recognize the Ecutek dongle. I'd hate to need two different dongles and switch between them.

ChaseZ

You need to buy the Ecutek proprietary bluetooth dongle though right? I have a Kiwi3 which is excellent but don't think it will work with the app. Seems I saw pricing before on their dongle and it was pretty spendy.

ChaseZ

Double checked and it won't even detect the Kiwi bluetooth when pairing, so it's the Ecutek only one for sure... and it retails for $350!

Hotrodz

Well...I will be waiting on that little piece of technology!

More disimile; "each ECU Connect Vehicle Interface Kit comprises the Bluetooth Vehicle Interface, a mini-USB cable, a quick-start guide and EcuTek decals."

Mini usb isn't compatible with apple iOS products either... :roll eyes:

Being that you're (me) not always flashing or logging, I have no issues taking my laptop down to the Z and connecting it via the standard OBDII cable when I need to.

Since I finally got those darn Motordyne test pipes installed last weekend, I've been logging and flashing back and forth with Seb. I've actually made it a bit more fun as I've talked my girlfriend into going with me to do the logging and flashing as she gets to hold the laptop and hit the button to start and stop the logging.

Also, I noticed that Ventruck mentioned that the 3rd gear pulls should be started at 2500 rpm. Well, I've been doing mine from 2000. Seb never told me any different, so I guess it was alright starting there.

On a side note, I noticed today that when I upshift from 3rd to 4th at high rpms in Map 2, near redline, I get a nice hallow sounding "pop" out of the exhaust. Nice!

Starting earlier shouldn't be an issue. If anything it ensures you're logging the range he's looking for, with some extra sampling to observe.

I had my brother handling the laptop. No offense to anyone but doing it solo isn't the best idea.

This! I am currently in the process of a datalogging tune with Seb, and though, even with 4-6 logs to supply him, i found it a bit hard to try and keep hitting that record button-while still trying to keep my head up in traffic.

Bring a friend if you can.

When I posted this thread, I had SZ's basic etune. Now i am in the process of datalogging. I will update the first post with a review of the data logging with SZ.

Nothing but good news here!
Except the weather.. weathers been pretty bad lately. Cant get any logging done.

HOW do you fell the car with the basic etune?????

NRGz

I replied to your PM.
I should go ahead and give an update and update this to the first post.

How did I feel with the basic etune? It felt nice, there was differences between stock.
To sum up how both maps felt of hot and cold.
Map A felt underpowered but smoother, as above- this is the hot map. Cant go wrong to play safe.
Map B felt rough, but buttdyno says yes to some power.

If you have the current bolt ons you are comfortable with, I would go straight to the datalog option. I thought i would put some more breathers; but decided not for a bit; which is why i went with a base tune first.

Now, onto the update of datalogging with Seb.
Turnaround time is still great. I have received a new flash today and I have been getting replies within 24 hours.
I sent my logs in with my base tune in the morning, if i can recall I received my first flash by end of day.

First flash: i have only driven on one map so far. 5 days of on and off seat time. I am not sure if seb touched the second, as my logging is currently on one.
i have asked him to turn down the throttle a little bit. Everyone that had tried to drive the Z isnt trying anymore due to complaints of the car being too touchy.. which is good. But I was still barely getting used to it after this long as well, so he turned it down a notch. Now new throttle is something I like! Much smoother with the response without the jerk from a stop or slow.
Power. Its definitely there. Everything is much more smoooooother. I would say butt feels the power of a much more smoother map B from the base tune.
And to think, this is the first flash. Excited for how much more to go!


Tomorrow the new flash will go in.
