Sure seems hard to make you guys happy.

Personally I'd prefer something get delayed rather than something that just never happens.

Thank you.


You are a master of understatement.


I think it speaks volumes that they don't have some kind of presence here, but maybe I overestimate the potential sales.


OK, Just wanted to make sure you didn't speak for Ecutek.
I can't find any mention of Master Dealers on the Ecutek site but you are listed as a Master Tuner.

Tomato, Tomato ..

End user tuning is still going to keep me from getting this unfortunately.

This?

John, be fair. This has been delayed for so long people have the right to be critical. And we only have your word that it will ever happen. And you disappeared since July.

I am very happy with my tune. I've had no issues in ~1.5 years and ~20K miles. The only idle issue I encountered during that period was solved by cleaning my throttle bodies.

I am interested in the new features - map switching, primarily. Low expectations = happy customer, I guess :icon17:

I should note I had a drive tune (not an e-tune) done, I don't need most of the features advertised, and I didn't pay full price. As a basic tune, it has been great for me.

But to be fair you guys have always been critical. Most of you anyways.

So for the third time, what features have been added that you can do right now?

Well, with what happen with the GTM group buy, and dealings of some other venders. Can you blame some of them for feeling that way. When you post something, when disappear for awhile. People wonder. Even if you have good intensions. ;)

This is entertaining and informative at the same time, and I appreciate everyone's comments. One person said they are happy with ecutek, 10 people being critical (and rightfully so), and an ecutek tuner which says he can deliver some results but it is still in beta with no one saying they have worked with him. I have not heard anything positive or negative against any particular tuner. I am curious why ecutek's business model is to let tuners represent them and they while they say nothing. I am wondering if ecutek's business model is fatally flawed. It sounds like some sharp folks that know ecus but don't know how to make it into a good business.

Keeps the feedback coming! I have $$$ to spend on a tune and appreciate the opinions.

I have more than one thread on here talking about performance/power gains with the flash I have to offer. They were posted almost immediately after I started this thread. I've discussed in detail why EcuTek's approach works better than other solutions, even posting up datalogs with notes explaining whats happening in the logs. For a while I was the only EcuTek dealer here actually posting up any results to show..maybe I am still the only one?
There has also been a few customers who have posted here with positive things to say , one was about their switch from UpRev to EcuTek.

Like it or not - For those who have been asking EcuTek sells directly to tuners, not customers. EcuTek is a tool that tuners like myself use. EcuTek does have a retail version of their BRZ software, but it's resold via it's dealer network. Maybe they'll offer a 370z version.. Another difference is EcuTek sells their programming suits separately, and it's not cheap. Anyone dealer that owns the 370z programming suite from EcuTek has a interest in actually tuning them.

Wasn't aware GTM has a group buy.. I know dynotronics had a group buy.... It's not any of my business what the other tuners are doing

I've been busy working on other things while I waited for something good enough to come back to you with.

With that all being said I understand the why some of your would be upset or would think EcuTek or myself has lost interest.

As of right now all the features that I've talked about on here are done. Software is on my laptop. If anyone with a manual car in the tri-state area wants to spend a little time with me I'll make it worth your while.
I'll also be in Vegas for Sema next month, anyone in the Vegas area is welcome to meet up with me and have a look at the new software.

Additionally EcuTek is having a party for dealers and customers, you more than welcome to come to that as well..

Let me know

Thanks

John

Shoot, if its free and i can switch my schedule around for sometime this week. I live near New london.

Infamous 10-20-2014 03:08 AM

I live in Vegas. Wanna tune mine during sema week and show the forum what you can do? I have a BP single turbo.

visconti 10-21-2014 10:44 PM

It's everything I have discussed in here.. have a read

bullitt5897 10-22-2014 10:34 AM

That's 22+ pages of parsed information... Would you mind putting together a list of the current functionality? This thread has had a long life and I am very curious as I am interested in this platform for my next z build...

Thanks,

Mike

A short list of what was talked about.

Upcoming features not specified
New features being tested that can't be mentioned
Thoughts of end user tuning

Here's a nice development

Proper injector scale

Basically you wire the ebcs to a spare input on the ecu.

Then we have blank custom maps that can be setup.


Map 1 - (Desired Boost) Throttle vs Engine RPM
Map 2 - (Per Gear Boost) Gear vs Desired Boost
Map 3 - (Calculated Boost Error) Desired Boost vs Manifold Pressure
Map 4 - (Main Wastegate Duty Map) Desired Boost vs Engine RM
Map 5 - (Turbo Dynamics Prop) Boost Error vs Engine Speed
Map 6 - (Turbo Dynamics Intregal) Boost Error vs Engine Speed

Kinda like that

1slow370 10-22-2014 11:36 AM

so to summarize the summary,
we have got what we had for the last 2 years

boost control is possibly in beta?

anything else isn't done yet so you can't talk about it.

got it

1slow370 10-22-2014 12:11 PM

Im not bitter it just is unclear when u say "its in the software it will work something like this" does it work yet or not yes or no.

Now what about a tuner version where I can tune my own car with full control unlike uprev

It has been talked about.

If any of you are around for SEMA you should stop in and talk to EcuTek during their party everyone is invited to

I bought an etune and cable for my 2013 7AT from Dynotronics in March 2014. After several email iterations to fix the dreaded throttle hesitation and get the throttle response adjusted to my satisfaction, it was completed May. I am very pleased with the throttle response and extra power on my stock 370.

reldas 11-03-2014 08:29 PM

sorry dont have a chance to read through the 46 pages of this thread. I already have my car tuned with ecutek, if i buy the cable and whatnot can i alter values like throttle maps and line pressures?

I don't think anything is tunable by end user. I believe you can do logging. I'm sure someone can clarify.

jofro6 11-06-2014 06:54 AM

Ecutek is not end user tunable on our 370z platform.
