Billet VQ37HR block.

Me and couple others are taking the leap to a full stand-alone

I dont see why you couldnt log coolant pressure with ECUTEK. Could probably bring that in through the fuel temp sensor wire. I dont know if I see large benefits to it. You can sort of consider the coolant blasting out of the overflow as your peak hold gauge for that.

[QUOTE=hustleman222;3894387] With all that money you’re throwing into that motor. I don’t believe Ecu tek or uprev is the best option. If you have a gtr it would be a different story with Ecu tek. Why wouldn’t you want to protect your 15k investment. Real traction control, real boost control, all the safety features, tuning capabilities.

I want to keep track of my turbo speed. To fine tune boost in the lower rpms.

Custom maps you can get pretty creative.

I don't know if you can or can't with Ecuteck. You can acutally make the car shutoff if the coolant pressure is exceeded to save any damage. What I see is you will be able to tell if you have an issue before you pop the headgaskets or push coolant out the overflow. I watched a video of Jay from Real St. talk about the switch to a billet 2JZ. He did say what the coolant pressure was on the cast block and with their new billet block. I don't remember the numbers but it was an eye opener.

I mean, I suppose I would find the data interesting at the least. If I was trying to protect a billet block from taking damage maybe I would be more on board with it. But on a stock block, I wouldnt care. About to leak or already leaking is the same thing to me, just a failed attempt that needs to be built again.

I emailed Ecu tek about about logging capabilities all they said was go into custom maps. To me it sounded like R&D it yourself and once you figure it out let us know.

I have the actual paperwork from them on it. I will take a look later. I havent looked at that yet. I bet it's no big deal. It doesnt surprise me that they wouldnt make a big effort into explaining it via email... it may very well already be explained in the paperwork, and if its not, explaining it to a customer is not a very good use of time since you dont have access to the software to do it anyway :shrug:

I agree, You cant put down all the power in first or second anyways. You need to control the boost in first, ramp up in second and full out in third. I will be investing after I rebuild my engine.

Hmm, something was wrong with your tune then. Too much timing. I would use a different tuner. My .02cts

Elmo370z

My question was a bit vague. I’ll rephrase it, I want the ability to mat it in 1st-3rd on street tires without roasting the tires. Closest thing that my car will see to drag racing is 1/2 mile roll racing. My car build is directly around road racing, the less I have to think and/or to do on the track the more I can concentrate on laying down faster lap times. The most advance race cars in the world use motec or some other type of stand-alone for TC. For me, I’ve not seen any body take the factory Ecu to any heights that would hold me back from wanting a stand alone. I hope others tuners within the next year or so can come up with something other then flamp maps, pops and bang tunes.

I Here turns down the sensitivity on the knock sensors, well that’s what was said between him and another tuner feuding on FB.
