Be Careful with UpRev in Mass

ANMVQ

The actual fact is this whole thread should closed, Cause it's BS, I HAD my car tested with the UPREV flash and I passed, The facts have holes in them"All readiness codes need to be turned on". NO kidding really, Try unplugging you battery reset your ECU then go drive to an inspection station and see if you pass, Go have a bad O2 sensor changed , Light reset, Go to a station for inspection and see if you pass, NOPE, IT will fail for Readiness codes, Just cause someone flashed a ECU( RESET IT) the took it right away to get a sticker and failed means what,, THEY DID NOT drive it enough for the ECU to run through all its tests.. Something tells me someone doesnt want to use UPREV for another reason? HMMM wonder what it could be,, Maybe tuner?

WOW, the internet can really give people the opportunity to play A**hole from behind a key board and say all kinds of crap they would Never say to a persons face. You dont know me or anything about me. I WANT to get my car tuned but when the IN state dealer tells me Im going to have a problem when I go to get it inspected that really makes me want to jump that the chance to do it. There are NO options less then 90 miles from me so running back to them every 12 months for inspections is NOT and option. It was documented there was a problem with the Mitsu-EVO in this state so I would believe the dealer is NOT making this up. Save your hidden agenda theory crap already.

I will say that Alex and Dent Sport is "THE" race shop in MA and one of the top shops in all of NE. I hold what he says with the highest regard, so if he says there is a problem then there is obviously a problem. UpRev should be working with them as a team to solve the problem for the benefit of the "customers" rather than coming on here and bashing the dealers. Alex builds race cars and drives race cars, but street cars are also a huge part of their regular business hence why is throwing up the red flag. UpRev needs to check it's ego (and attitude) for a minute and figure this out.

Mostly u,, LOL

My opinion about this whole this was from experience. I have UPREV, I got a sticker, I have been in the car business for a LONG time, 20+ years. Just something about the "Facts" don't add up read them yourself "Again" and if you cant see the holes, then you should be posting this, and carrying it ON, Here's a question have "YOU" Contacted UPREV and asked them? Have you contacted GTM and asked them, Hell Vince even posted in here" ONCE" ( Why you think only once), Have you tried reaching out to him,. Sounds like no.. I know neither one of them live in MA, But I'm sure they could shed some light on things for you,,, An just IMO you should be going through Kaizen anyway.


And to Seymore post, He's 100% nobody acted you or personal said anything and you challenging people so say things "Face to Face" REALLY?? See that's why he said you sound like a young "KID", Just because someone you think you can trust told you something and other people( Most of the people in this thread) Have a different opinion doesnt mean they are attacking you,

I had no problem getting a sticker last year either but that doesn't mean anything since MA DOT is constantly updating their software.

Also no need to be a Kaizen fanboi just because that's where you happened to go. You have no personal experience with Dent Sport so why say that? You're acting rather immaturely for someone that has been "in the biz" for 20 years.

Man, why are you so angry? You're absolutely right, we don't know anything about you. And likewise you don't know anything about us or our qualifications to comment on this matter.

And as for not saying it to your face.. Grow up, nothing posted was a personal attack against you.. But when your posts come off as an immature kid that takes everything personally even when facts are being presented by very knowledgable people that refute your argument... Sorry can't help you

Valentino

sounds like we are going back to the good old days (Pnp)

crystalline, You are 100% right on failing if you have certain sensors or codes shut off"Readiness codes" I can tell you on my tune I have no sesors or codes shut off, The only thing I had to do was rasie the limit of my MAP sensor for Boost. Most of the guys that have things shut off are running HFC's and TP's and have the 2nd O2 range shut off so not not to throw codes. Or some off the EVO guys years ago would run no EGR valves and have block off plates installed and that sensor shut down.

I just wasn't aware that anyone was shutting off codes on the 370z at all. Do you have to with cheap test pipes? I wouldn't know as I had art pipes with no CEL before the LTH.

ANMVQ

I have heard of some guys on the 350's shutting the code for the O2 sensor off, Becasue the sensor was over heating( Not enought steel wool) LOL, The O2 was to much in the exhaust steam. I think ARK and companies a like have made some adjustments on the spacing.. I do have them now and will never so I'm really can not say for sure,

As others have mentioned, this topic has been beaten to DEATH on EvoM. Fact is, MADOT can read that your ECU has been flashed. It happened after February of this year.

I still think we are, Did you even read my post , About all the guys refereing to have sensors and codes either removed or shut off. " Running no cats and or no EGR's and EVAP sysytems".. One guy even said " Now I have to reinstall my cat and ERG valve".

Or that I just got off the phone with Stillen and they said the same thing. Their tune is CARB legal. The only one they have that is not is STG3. Which on the new kits they do not offer anyway.

Speaking to Dent today they dont turn off any sensors on a NA car with cats. They are putting a car out for testing now with a Stock Uprev rom to see if it is detected. Lets be clear here, NO sensors are being turned off. My car would not require such things to be turned off, NA car with a muffler delete and Typhoons.
Whats troubling here is the amount of people that want to tell us this is not happening when in fact it is. If you think I want to argue in order to spend $600 thats just foolish. But the way the guy from Uprev acted not only to me but to Dent really makes me wish there were other vendors.
We shall see.
