It will take someone with knowledge of the platform to tune with it. It will be more difficult to get someone to tune a Motec M150 than the stock ECU on Ecutek on a 370z. I only know of One Twin turbo car that was tuned with a Motec M150 and the guy that wrote the firmware for the M150 did his own tuning. He now works for Motec. It won't pass emission's either. No OBDII port. Not sure if you have to deal with that in your area.

Thanks Spooler ...
I have checked in to it but always room for more input.
My car failed inspection here in NJ and as it is now it won't ever go thru inspection unless, as one tech put it, I return it to OEM status.
There were a few emissions systems that were removed/disabled (EVAP and EGR) and the Inspection facility could't read the ECU via the OBDII port.
Seems that it is locked out in some way...EcuTek ??? or ???.
Checked in to the Haltech ECU as well ... same situation as the Motec but less expensive.
MA-Motorsports --- Carl --- can tune the Motec.
Ray Shake was supposed to do it this upcoming winter but he has left the company.
Prime Motoring here in NJ (JR Tuning) can also do the Motec Tune.
JR Tuning is very familiar with Motec as he tunes the Subarus.
It's a 17 hour job by the time it is finished...more big BUCK$.
Still tossing this back and forth in my mind...EcuTek or Motec.
Will be waiting to see how it is when MA-M gets the bugs worked out.
Might have to stick with EcuTek although there is no one here in my area that will do a 370z Tune with it...the closest would be RAD or Vinny Ten ... and they are out in Long Island.
Won't go back to Vinne Ten.
All the 'issues' he 'Tuned' OUT of this blue 350z --- he 'Tuned' IN to my car.
Hot start, cold start, misfires, low power, stalling in turns...you name it...
See the link below.

My Z was Stillen Supercharged and tuned with UpRev at the time..
So we will wait and see what MA-M comes up with for now.
Again, I didn't anticipate not having someone up here willing to work on the car if needed.
