Yep, still 1 map.


Biggest bitch is that you don't own the license either. It's on your car, not something you can take off

That's crap...Glad I already had an UpRev tune NA and didn't need to consider other options when the turbo went on.

Even though our platform is far, farr from the most profitable for them to develop, I wish they'd at least finish up basic features like map switching for the few of us who took the plunge...

*Shoulda gone uprev *

Guys, Ecutek is far from dead.

I have confirmation from Ecutek in the U.K. the 370Z platform is NOT dead. They advised they are 100% behind the platform and they are still hard at work developing the RaceROM features. They confirmed they have 2 engineers dedicated to the platform/project.

For all those who either have or thinking about going down the Ecutek route, this is a leap of faith. I for one feel very confident, based on feedback from Ecutek, in addition to the other platforms they have developed for, they will come through as they said they would.

All one has to do is look to the other platforms that already have Ecutek Advanced RaceRom features..............It's off the charts.

For me, I will be patient and look forward to the final release. Only then, will we be able to compare the feature set vs. UpRev and determine if the Ecutek 370Z platform is really dead or not.

Tiger I had the same level of faith as you did in Ecutek..but after a while hearing "yes we're developing the features, but we don't want to release it until we're sure!" for months gets old..

I actually have an issue where my timing is advancing by itself, Ecutek is aware of it, and I've been waiting for about 3-4 months now (had to drive by to my tuner for datalogs 3 times, 2 hours round trip) for a resolution. Ecutek claims its my stillen g3s and they're waiting on intakes to test on their own car as they can't reproduce it. I know there's one other 370 that does this, not sure if he's on the forum.

So meanwhile I'm just living with my idle doing it's own thing until they figure out a resolution..when they do there goes another 2 hours o gas again.

Your mods may be the issue with the ECUtek software. My stock 370z 7AT has about 3k miles on a Dynotronics ECUtek tune with no problems. Also the throttle response is perfect as opposed to the throttle response struggles mentioned in the “Smooth throttle for UPREV” thread.

I have a theory: If ECUtek controls the max advance by re-scaling the tables, it could result in that happening.

If the knock adjustment tables are also re-scaled or disabled, then it will essentially keep adding timing without restraint until it peaks at whatever new value was set as the limit.

Or, actually, just the second of the two alone might result in that happening too, but at least scaled within OEM limits.

Is it too late to return this whole kit and get a refund? I got it with the original group buy.

You'll have to ask to see if he'll give you a refund after a year. Ecutek kinda abandoned us it seems, always the same stories but no results.
