I would like to see some tuning package be able to remap the SRM for different FD ratios.

It's all about customer service and expecting to be treated fairly right if I'm dropping 1k on a tune. I'm boosted as well and I know GTR have been using ecutek as well. They don't have much options if I remember correctly. Just Cobb (which was never great for the Nissan platform) and now ecutek.

That being said the kind of responses from simple question this guy gives trying to "promote" this product is ridiculous. Could u imagine the kind of help you'd get if u need trouble shooting with ur software or tune if this is the kind of response ur getting from simple questions? Apparently they're doin very well without this community which seems to give him some kind of "don't care here it is attitude".

Squeeze is very well respected around here and his Z is a built monster. His input goes a long ways. But he won't be tuning your car neither.

The way you treat potential customers goes a long ways. I'm happy with my boosted Uprev numbers and the service I get from them also. Better or not better, he has made my personal choice very easy to stick with what I'm running with.

That's your decision :tiphat: but I would consider it incredibly short-sighted to exclude a manufacturer's product from consideration based on the attitude of a single retailer who happens to stock that product.

This is also my thought. I'm definitely still interested in what ECUTek can offer me, but definitely not from this guy posting in this thread.

I suppose ur right about that also. Still just leaves an overall bad taste about it all. The manufacturer should look at who they give their business too.

Also I'm far ahead of the modding game than you are and every penny and service I get at this point in the game matters very much to me.

LOL.

I won't argue that you've probably spent more dollars than I have at this point, but the cost of labor and parts at the level I'm trying to participate at is getting more and more ridiculous by the minute. I just got a quote for a $1000 radiator and a $5000 roll cage, for example. So yeah, spending another grand+ on new tuning when what I have is already paid for (mostly by someone else) plus losing the ability to edit my own ROM... Yeah, they'll have to show me how bad *** they are, not just promise me it's better.

I've read all of Visconti's posts as i'm trying to follow the Ecutek info as best as possible, and i'm not so sure as to what he did or said was wrong. This is another tuning option. Why is everyone ragging on his case? Uprev works, sure, but who are you to yell at another company that provides us Z owners more options?

We all cry about how we need more market for our car and when that happens, we bag on them. :rolleyes:

:iagree:

What he said. I think it's all been misinterpreted, due to it being in text.

Do you need me to break out the ruler and measure your epeen?


Im still really confused on why a few people are so upset. I have had a great experience with Vis from day one :ugh2:

If that's ur kind of thing be my guest, I don't like any of that stuff unless its a doctor visit.

I met with Jon Visconti about a month ago before the EcuTek software was released. I have also stayed in contacted with him ever since he is a stand up guy.Everything that he explained to me about the software I am very excited about. The key features that are coming I am very excited about and I cant wait tell they all come with the software.

The key features that I am looking forward to are
1. Boost By gear
2.Timing by gear
3.Flex fuel
4. Launch control
5 VVEL

Once all these features coming out it is really going to take tuning on this platform to the next level .

i just want to clarify something... visconti is a Master Tuner of EcuTek and hence promoting EcuTek and his services...

for all of those who are asking him to compare EcuTek against UpRev... please note that he is not EcuTek mfg... as far as I understand, he is merely giving his opinion on EcuTek and his tuning expertise...

with that being said, if you are put off by his comments... simply contact other folks or forum vendors that are tuners of EcuTek... for example, R/T tuning and GTM (who are also master tuners of EcuTek as well)... for that matter if you would really want opinion (and better "customer service") between the two tuning, I would suggest to go to Sam@GTM... nuff said

True expect R/T is not a master tuner

John

What do you mean by boost by gear?
EcuTek have build in boost controller?

Really!? Sounds awesome! Looks like I'll be making another road trip :tup:

Seeing as there isn't a boost input for the factory ecu there will have to be some sort of adapter/piggyback unit....... I think. http://serve.mysmiley.net/confused/confused0081.gif

This is one of the many things I'm working on right now, as well as a Flex Fuel kit

-John

Can somebody elaborate flex fuel future for me please?

Here are a few videos..

EcuTek RaceRom custom mapping allows me to wire a ethanol content sensor to the ECU which then allows me to have the tune automatically change based on ethanol content.. This is important for the guys that like to run Ethanol ..

My GTR and BRZ Flex Fuel Calibrations currently change total fueling, Air Fuel Mixture, Ignition Timing, Max Boost Pressure and cold start cranking enrichment.

User defined tables and proper sensors can allow this. Basically the tuner creates a new table to define boost based on what gear you're in. They also have to "retask" ECU sensor inputs/outputs.

Ecutek allows for "retasking" ECU inputs and outputs. Basically all the emissions sensor and crap can be disconnected and then new sensors tied in to those inputs. It pretty f'ing awesome if you ask me.

Basically an ethanol to gas ratio sensor can be tied in and then custom tables created to adjust engine parameters based on what % ethanol is in the tank.

Obviously there's a lot of "smart person" stuff that has to be done in the ecutek software to make any of these things work but that's where someone like Visconti comes in.

^^^^^ Yes, very kool

Being able to run E85 and not having to adjust your tune 2-3x a year would be nice. The real drawback running E85 is the vast difference from one pump to another and the significant change between winter and summer months.

Boost by gear is a method that is used for traction its were you can run your spring pressure in lower gears for traction,and full boost once you get traction. Now in a case where even your spring pressure still lights up the tires timing by gear can be used to pull timing tell you get traction.


This all can be adjusted by tables in the ecu.

This is where the ethanol to gas ratio sensor comes into play. It will automatically detect the ratio of ethanol to gas and adjust accordingly.

Wow, I had no idea EcuTek had some of these advanced options coming. That Ethanol sensor video is very impressive. I wonder if GTM, who is tuning my car, will look into EcuTek...

Is there any chance we can see speed density with ecutek?

So use E85 but add ethanol, but isn't ethanol expensive itself?

That is also in the works

-John

I'm assuming you meant to quote my post?

Any how if speed density can be enabled through ecutek, I'll probably buy, first i need to actually get the supercharger kit i want XD

Interested to see how this all works out. Unfortunately I more then likely will not be changing over even if there is a huge difference since my UpRev tune cost about $500 2 years ago and I just recently spent $400 to have it re-tuned after I had a few exhaust leak problems. Goodluck.

Yes Sorry

-John

wow... yeah uprev who?

EcuTek added support to your ecu this morning

John

Any word on when/if the G37 will see ECU support?

We can support any Ecu just need a rom dump !

Exactly!

If anyone has an interest in trying the EcuTek SW in the future, swing by and we will dump your stock rom to add to the database.

For those of us who have the dumped files who did it with Uprev, are those compatible if we donate it for you guys to add to the list? I may have mine somewhere in an old email

We stock tune files, so if anyone that has UpRev and wants to flash back to stock so we can do a dump that would be great.

If anyone is interested in doing a dump I can mail you a cable

PM me an email and I'll send you my dumped file, found it in my gmail
