That's like readin a brochure man. How many 370/g37 u know out there with the ECUtek? And for fun sake, Gtm is listed on there as a tuner but they package Uprev into their TT deals.

I'm all for this product. I hope they bring what they say they will.

I give you credit for wanting to be an early adopter of VVEL. I know I couldn't do it even with guarantee of valves crashing into pistons.

Ecutek has been out to the public for a little over a month I really think people need to give it time. This constant push for VVEL seems a bit extreme and people seem to be overlooking some of the other features. One key feature that Ecutek already has over Uprev is full ignition timing control something UPrev does not have or added in the last 5 years to this platform.

My bad, I thought you were saying (multiple times) that no one is using or has the software.

What would be really cool would be to take my UPREV tuned rig somewhere and do a before dyno (baseline with UPREV) and after dyno.

I'm well aware of these other features. Visconti spent probably close to an hour showing me the software in detail (pointing out the differences from Uprev along the way) when he was at a nearby shop awhile back.

I brought this up to Visconti and he pointed out one simple flaw and that is all tuners are not created equal. Basically you'd have to get your ECUtek tuner to tune it with Uprev first and then with ECUtek to get an apples to apples comparison.

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...

Sooo.... GTM is giving buyers the option to use Ecutek with their MHI kits.... That is pretty substantial and very telling of the software status.

It'll be pretty interesting to see how dyno results come out for both options. Obviously different dynos and different conditions won't yield great comparison data but if ECUtek is always giving better results I think that speaks for itself.

And it means that we'll have a large sample size of results on boosted Zs. For those (myself included) who are on the fence waiting for more end user feedback, this is huge.

Any tuners in the San Diego area? I'm gonna do some bolt on mods in the next few months and I would want to retune afterwards.

I have to say that I am liking the sound of this.
Living in the most isolated capital city in the world (literally), tuning options are very limited with only a handful of workshops having any experience with UpRev. There are not that many 370Z's on the road over here and I have one of only about 4 or 5 370GT's in the state. Looking at the ECUTek website it looks there are far more garages in Aus which have this software and have been using it for quite sometime. I know that its not necessarily on our specific models but any experience at all with the software has to be an advantage.

Even if all of the additional features are not yet fully available, just having another tuning option is already encouraging. Just the mere possibility of having launch control somehow worked into the ECU seems awesome.

I'm going with Ecutek for my GTM MHI TT. I called the only shop in my area that's listed as a tuner and they said they actually just have Visconti do e-tunes. He's supposed to be contacting him to see what they can do for me. I hope all these new features roll out soon. I'd love to be able to control boost, use launch control, and dial in the VDC.
