So... Again I ask, since I think my question sparked the debate on the wrong tangent...


When can we (as end users) expect to see a FULL release of a completed (Non-Beta version; updates are a given with any SW package so thats a moot point) ECUTek tuning package?

i.e. I go to a tuner/shop, and say I want an ECUTek tune. When will all features be available for a tune with no hesitation from the tuner/shop because the R&D work is completed? The product is no longer Beta, but full release?



I am not negating any of the possibilities of improvement from ECUTek, I have never had experience with any other tuning platform, so I don't know their credibility outside of the 370Z world. All I (me, myself) am trying to do is get a ballpark date as I am looking to have my UpRev tune given a 2nd opinion, and by an ECUTek tuner as well, so that when I go to do this tune check-up, if I decide to convert to ECUTek, I know I won't need to come back multiple times as new features become fully developed...

I'm not sure anyone here has the answer you are looking for. It's possible EcuTek isn't calling this beta anymore because the 370Z is now listed on their website. I don't believe multiple maps is available yet, so it will likely be included in a software update.

That's awesome that it will be capable of having all these features tuned, which for the non-tuner, showing an image of 500 tables to which someone without knowledge would just say... that's nice... doesn't really tell me anything.

My question was simple, When can I as a prospective client, go to an ECUTek tuner, and get a Full tuning package done, not the halfway stuff they're doing now, or a "beta". But everything all at once...

"I Don't Know." is an acceptable answer.

My tune is not halfway... it is at least equal to what UpRev can do.

Everything available now could easily constitute a "full tuning package"... there's a few features not yet available (multiple maps and traction control stuff, I think). Everything else is good to go as far as I'm aware... now it's just a matter of getting data logged, cars tuned, and more information to the general public. If you want everything all at once, I'm not sure anyone knows when that will be. Maybe call EcuTek...

My term "Halfway" is in reference to what ECUTek can do now, vs what they claim they can do later. I understand you feel a certain loyalty to them for doing your tune, but I'm talking bigger picture.

These are the features that make ECUTek claim they are better than UpRev, which by your own admission their current suite is no different. So I am asking when will these features that could potentially make them superior be standard with someone walking in with a tune...

And that's all I'm asking them for, either a date, or a ball park figure, or a "we don't know yet".

So having multiple maps and TCS control is "half" of the tune? I don't think so... I don't know of any other potential features that aren't available at this time.

And I didn't say the suite was the same... I said my tune is the same (minus the multiple maps).

UpRev doesn't do VVEL, EcuTek does - it's just a matter of getting cars tuned and data out there. If someone told you a specific date, and that date comes around and there aren't any cars tuned with it even though the software is available, my guess is you still wouldn't be satisfied. But like I said, call EcuTek...
