Mine's Motorsport VX-Rom vs Osiris vs any other ECU reflash

Chuck33079

Um, my 370's rev limiter is set at 7500 by Nissan. Something's not right here.

It honestly sounds like Mine's is selling a generic canned tune upgrade, that change is for a VQ3.5de motor.

What about my post led you to believe that I don't have any direct experience with EcuTek? If you can't read what is posted, then no one is going to be able to help you. I currently have an EcuTek tune. I'm very pleased with it, but then I have no experience with any other tuning software to compare it with.

Personally, I think you should waste your money on a canned tune that matches your user name

You guys get offended quick here I see. I posted the question to get an answer. No need to take it personal my friend, it's just a car forum.

lol I didn't take it personally... it's the internet I simply responded to your post in which you stated I didn't have personal experience with EcuTek. If you had read any of the many EcuTek threads, you will find plenty of people asking for exactly the same thing you are: results and dyno graphs. Like I said, they're slowly trickling in because the software is so new. UpRev has a lot more history, so if you're basing your decision off other people's experiences and dyno charts, that's going to be the software with the most information.

Why is using the cc controls to switch maps "not cool"? It's not like you lose any cc functionality.

It's my personal preference, I don't want to do that. Period.

Then don't use it, my car uses Uprev and we never enabled the cruise control option. I have a single tune.
Also, you seem to be stuck on this Mine's is the "best" idea. Which is fair for some cars they work on, but the z34 does not seem to be one. Especially this ECU reflash. It sounds more like a canned tune, adjusting preset options to increase performance.

This will never match the ability of Uprev or ECUtech on a dyno or street. Now if you were in Japan I would say go to TS, Mine's, etc for a tune because they can see your car and tune onsite see different parameters. Or better yet, just fly Smokey over and have him do it: Smoky Nagata of Top Secret Japan brings his tuning talents to Houston!

Ok so you direct experience with Uprev, question, in reference to the changes from stock to using the Uprev what did you notice? Are you seeing better response, better gas mileage, in your opinion what is the most significant change?

Chuck33079

On the dyno or on the street. I'd assume there's a good bit of street data logging, since not all of it is just tuning WOT. Other tuners offer the same type of service with Uprev, so you definitely have options there. I'm currently running Uprev, but very little of my experience will be applicable to you unless you're boosted.

Ok cool thanks!

FYI::
Mine's VX-ROM

Only person I saw with Mine's ECU was in Thailand, the opinions and thoughts are a little generic: My 370Z Branew n' Mine's ECU

It looks like you are already, but I'd knock Mine's off of your list. It's a bit extreme to have in the US...anything goes wrong, you're SOL out here with no support.

Thanks I read the thread.

The thing is, until someone does a back to back comparison with the same tuner on the same dyno, it's going to be difficult to say for 100% sure if any tuning solution is truly superior to any other solution FOR THE END USER.

There will always be differences for the tuner themselves, which one is easier to use for them, easier to license, easier to make incremental changes and track those changes, etc. But for the guy driving the car, it will take proven dyno results one way or the other for there to be a truly "better" product.

So try and wrap your head around that and look at it not as "which tuning software is 'better'" because it's just a means to an end. Asking people that have Uprev on their cars what their experience has been like is going to get you a lot of "It's been great!" and "My car drives lots better and makes more power".

Ask people with ECU Tek the same thing, they're going to give you the same answers.
