^do you have an oil cooler?

Yes, on several levels. First I wouldn't be running it that hard until the tune is 100%, but I'm sure they err on the side of safety. Second, either stop racing people on the street or stop posting about it. Word it differently to avoid abuse here. Lastly, keep a closer eye on your gauges. You should have backed off it and let it cool down between runs. There's no reason to run it into limp mode. I hope you're running a good synthetic, and I'd change the oil immediately if it were my car. And people wonder why I won't buy a used sports car.

i stopped after each run but i guess i didnt give it enough time to cool off, and im running readline full synthetic, and i am putting an oil cooler on next oil change that i do.

Ok spoke to Mervyn at Ecutek this morning, and he says it's not an issue for the Asian market cars. We will be able to read and write the rom image.

anyone else get a check engine light when started getting tuned with ecutek?

Ordered!

Just placed my order. Finally pulled the trigger on this. Can't wait to get my Z professionally tuned. :happydance:

Believe my car is running rich at the moment. Can't wait the AFR worked out and working the way it should. :tup:

Let me know once shipped.

Thanks.

Soo how close is ecutek to having launch control, flat foot shifting etc. ready now?

i am. shot you a pm sir. thanks!

I'd love to know where they stand as far as boost control and all of the other features that were promised. Been a whole lot of silence on the Ecutek front lately.

GTR and FR-S/BRZ get regular updates while not much has been said since the 370Z release. Maybe because the others are the "it" cars right now and that's where they focus development.

I emailed Ecutek about this last week. Their answer was, due to other projects, 370 development got slowed down, but they're aiming to get out these features before the end of this year.

:ugh2:

Yeah. It went from "any day now" to "before the end of the year". Looks like they're giving up on taking significant market share from Uprev. Guess I'll schedule my re-tune with Uprev.

Could have told you this would happen.

Same **** happened with SPL re: their front upper arms. Full line of BRZ **** released before their Z34 arms.

This is how its going to be from here on out, boys. Sorry to say.

Funny how they were all over the forum from multiple accounts until they got $$ from all the members who were willing to shell out... now? where are the promised features that were "days away"... where are the independent dyno sheets?? how many months has it been? meanwhile Uprev continues to deliver consistent, reliable tunes every day. :shakes head:

I see the up rev fanbois are still at it!! Lol

Ecutek is still on track for the 370 race rom feature file release. In fact we have been testing several tables for them and us lately, so the timeline moves on.

Why does the brz get constant updates( which is actually a big misstatement )? Because there are far far more of them being tuned and far more New calibration Ids being defined. In fact the 370 sw is getting updates of the same type at the same rate.

It's this simple; if you like up rev use up rev , however if you want a platform that already has far more tables( and yes there are many that need to be tested still) and features, then EcuTek is the correct path for you.

Group buy is still on, and we are still porting out files to our current clients. There should be an updated file for everyone next week as we just finished going over the data from our VVEL testing

Question I haven't seen asked . For us auto guys (g37x) is there a way to get the car to accel from a dig? The rev limit of 4k while on the brake is the worst :/. 60!ft times suffer

Interested still w/ FI car

Hey joe I pm I bout a week ago

We have several tricks to help the torque down low, and the transient throttle response for the autos.

Whenever your ready to start, let me know

Want too do it! Let me know where or how to go from here:tiphat:

Lol seems like a bunch of BS to me. End of the year, middle of next after that? Uprev fan bois? Gimme a break. You give bad info and get butthurt when people call you out on it? LOL

To be fair, I don't think it's the Ecutek tuners doing anything more than passing along the dates Ecutek expects to have features ready. They're not the ones writing the program. I wouldn't have made the "fanboys" comment if I were a vendor, though. It just looks petty.

I've been waiting for several features to be available for quite some time now, but since we've gone from "any day now" to "sometime this year", I've got to look elsewhere for my tuning solution. That's not to say I won't entertain Ecutek again when it meets my needs.

In the scheme of things, "fanboy" isn't that bad. Visconti would have called his mother a whore and set his car on fire.

I agree, I know it's not Dynotronic's fault they haven't been released.. but it seems everything is being 'fluffed up' to make Ecutek sound superior.. When there's no proof it is for one, and two, all these trick features that were supposed to be out MONTHS ago keep getting pushed back and it makes me doubt they'll EVER become available.

I've been waiting for all the features to become unlocked too.. and if eventually they do, I'll be impressed and I'll entertain the idea of an Ecutek tune but for now it just seems like another vendor trying to pump cash out of forum members.

:iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree:

Yee have little faith.............lol.

I understand some need actual proof before they pull the trigger. After all, it's a significant investment for most, me included. Besides the monitary part, their is the actual "back up what you say"......Show me the money so to speak.

I elected to choose EcuTek over Uprev as I was excited about the prospects of being involved on the ground floor on something new. I put my faith in EcuTek as well as Joe @ Dynotronics who has been wonderful through the process. I researched EcuTek prior to purchase and based on what they have accomplised with various platforms such as the GT-R, FRZ/BRZ, Mazda, I was extremely impressed. That was good enough for me.

Like someone said earlier, Joe is a Pro Tuner, not a software Engineer. This is handled by EcuTek.

I recently sent EcuTek an email asking them about their plans for the 370Z platform. I advised I was a little disappointed many of the advanced features have yet to be released for the 370Z. They advised the 370Z platform was pushed back, not because they are abondinig the platform, just due to focus elsewhere mainly the Mazda platform. They reassured me the 370Z will have advance features before the end of the year.

Again, I feel comfortable to have made the investment with EcuTek. I have complete faith EcuTek will deliver what they have promised.

At the end of the day, their reputation is on the line. This, I believe, will be their driving force and motivation.

I am also extremly happy with what has been done to my Z so far. The increased peformance is very noticable. I will attempt to post before and after charts on what has been done so far. I am traveling on business at the present time and will not get to this until the coming weekend. If I can figure it out, I will make it happen.

All I can tell you is this; we have at least three different ways to calibrate the 370, uprev, EcuTek, and AlienTech, in house. As a professional tuner I will not use uprev again, ever. It really is that simple. The support we get from the crew in England 5000 miles away far our strips the lack of support I get from uprev which is 40 miles away.

We are waiting ,just like you guys, for the release of RACEROM Feature File. I know a bit more about the release timeframe, but I will not say when except before the end of the year. But infact it really does not matter when it's released, because EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER WILL GET AN UPDATE WITH THE FEATURES THEY WANT when it is released.

And yes, the fanboy comment was a bit childish, but it does get a little old, and his is my thread for a group buy. So forgive the snap, please

Simple as can be!! Head on over to post 45 of this thread, and select the GB button t hat best fits you. As quick as confirmation comes in, your kit gos put!!

Looking forward to the VVEL tweak file :driving:

We're all drooling to see before/after dynos of VVEL tweaking. I'm sure that's the power bottleneck, NA or FI.

I think everyone is looking for the VVEL TWEAKS but I thought someone had done this already . An as much as I want to go with something "new" ECUTEK why an I still flopping back and forth with UPREV. An Joe will you just not use UPREV again because the lack of support or is ECUTEK just that far superior to UPREV ?

Just figured I'd throw my 2 cents in. I'm also looking forward to all of the different features that ECUtek has promised down the line though I may not be in as big a rush as others.

Software aside, I'd like to second all the comments regarding Joe's customer service. He really makes himself available, even to someone hundreds of miles away like me. I get an answer every time I call him on the phone and I can always tell I'm probably pulling him away from something more important because he's either got a car on the dyno or he's slightly panicked at the time (The type of panic that a looming deadline tends to induce.) Whatever your situation is he is quick to respond and infinitely patient. Bottom line is that he makes time for you and keeps you coming back. I'm completely confident that Joe's the type of person that gives the same amount of attention and care to cars regardless of price (in terms of a $90k car vs a $30k car).

that's a fair question; as far as I am concerned it that ecutek has, offered far more, and much deeper customer service. Couple that with the simple fact we have twice the maps to work with( ok, we are still developing WHAT some of them do), and its sort of a no brainer.

The other thing that has always bugged me with Uprev is that the numbers in the tables, in many cases, have no relationship to anything.

Please do not take this as me running it down, but you asked, and that's my opinion

No Thanx Joe , that's what I was looking for . Ill be candid I was on the PayPal page last night ( link here) to he the loaner cable an software , filled everything in an just stopped . Not sure why, maybe it's because I was tuned with UPREV before , and the $$ for me to change is significant ? From what I have heard and the convos we've had your service had been great , just hard for me to pull the trigger sorry . :/

Mike, no worries! I understand where your are. If we can help, just let me know!

Hey Joe Thanx man !! You got a pm :)

Just to add my .02 about Joe A++ guy strait up and honest .
Being talking to him the last few days and great experience . :)

Soo anybody get the new VVEL tweaked file yet?

Joe you got a pm
