Well considering only a few Cobb tunes have been done out there and one with FI?
Neither has Uprev, this is the first instance of problems which looking closer I have one question. LateralZ, how new is your Z? It is a 2010, which may mean Uprev just had not gotten your version of the ECU in house to unlock and verify no changes by Nissan yet.

GTM uses UPREV without any issues so far, so I don't think you should discredit UPREV. I think Cobb seems very limited in how much fine tuning you can actually do.

March 2010, they had my ecu in April and we had some minor issues, they made an update on their website but it still has issues. So they have had it for a long time. I trouble shoot all sorts of custom HVAC equipment everyday at work and all it takes is one small line of code and things go nuts. Most of my troubles at work come from controls.

Last I heard AP is not doing anything with 370Z anymore, they are focusing on the GTR and other boosted set-ups evo, wrx but that is just something I heard so take with a grain of salt.

the AP itself will not have any further updates, however the AP Race software can still be applied to tune anything you need to.

Sounds to me like you need some cut on kit profits for continued development, i.e. guinea pig - you guys have a lot of patience

I promise I didn't do anything different than anyone else. Installed the kit, towed over to HPL, tuned by Jack, been working right ever since. Knock on wood though. Hope you all get squared away soon.

I bet stillen gave RCZ free tug and rubs at the local massage house if he raved about his SC working perfectly

UPDATE:

For the last couple of weeks we have been off the forums and working diligently on resolving the couple of issues that we have seen. We have been working behind the scenes with the couple of customers that have experienced issues after their supercharger installation. The vast majority of our customers who have received and installed their supercharger systems are on the roads and enjoying their kits. Unfortunately we have had reports from a couple of customer’s experiencing issues that we did not experience on any of the vehicles we tested prior to releasing the kit. We are continuing to work day and night and through the weekends to work on correcting any issues these customer’s have been experiencing.

To date we have been working very hard on the tuning and software that we use. Early in the development of our supercharger system we made the decision to tune via the UpRev software, directly through the factory ECU. In the beginning of the year Jared (UpRev head tuner) and John (UpRev head engineer) both flew out to our shop and trained our guys on how to use their software. This time was vital as the UPrev guys were able to show our engineers the ins and outs of their software and offer tips on what to expect. They spent about a week with our engineering team and everyone felt like we were on the right path and had a great partner to work with. Fortunately, UpRev has been very supportive to aid in correcting these couple of issues. At this time we have arranged to bring Jared out from Texas first thing Monday and he will spend next week working with our team again to correct the issues a couple of our customers are having.

The UpRev software that we are using is identical to the software used by any other UpRev tuner with only one difference that we required. With our software the end user has the ability to upload our flash tune, datalog the performance of their car, pull and read trouble codes, everything that the Osiris/Cipher software can do. The only difference is that we needed the tune to be locked down and unable to be altered. This is mandated by CARB and our warranty provider. Obviously those states that comply with CARB regulations will not allow something to be considered emissions legal when such vital parameters can be so easily altered. To meet these requirements UpRev pulled out a software tool that they had developed for another company a couple of years ago but never went into production. At the time the software was not quite finalized but they worked hard to complete it and get it ready for our supercharger system.

We will have more updates as they become available but for now the most important thing to know is that there are only a couple of isolated issues and they represent a very small percentage of the total number of kits we’ve sold. We are working extremely hard to get these issues corrected and we are working directly with our customer’s to make sure their vehicle’s are safe and strong.

Thank you very much!
