Which tune is better

fantaZ

ecutek or uprev. And please tell my why.

There's plenty of threads on the two. Ecutek has more options, but fewer tuners. Uprev is more limited, but cheaper and there are more tuners for it.

From what I was told...

Uprev for AT.

ECUtek for MT because it has launch control and is best for MT/Boosted Cars. AT cars wouldn't see that much of a difference.

For a NA car with no mods both will give roughly the same output.

For FI you have much more control with EcuTek.

Makes no difference if your car is AT or MT.

EcuTek has more features, TC being one, which is miles better than the standard 370z TC and worth it for that point almost in itself. It is more expensive but in the UK its now recommended over UpRev even for none FI cars.

This again?...

yup i have read all the threads on both on this site. the reason I am asking now is most of the thread were a couple of yrs old and ecuteck was new and in some of the threads they hadn't even released all of the features for the 370 yet. So thanks for all the input. By the way my car will be modified then i will get the tune.

I don't think you read all the threads on this topic. And just because the thread was started several years ago, doesn't mean there aren't relevant and recent posts at the end of the thread. Plus, there are numerous threads less than a year old created by people who made the switch from Uprev to Ecutek

Chuck pretty much gave you the low down. Not much more to say that hasn't already been posted

The other thing to keep in mind is that any software is only as good as the tuner. If there is a good local shop that prefers one over the other and the other option is someone with no experience with the platform, go with the experienced guy regardless of software. The difference between the two on a NA car isn't so great that you should be someone's Guinea pig.

this one ^^^ i knew go with what the turner is best with.

I live in Austin, and am very close to the UpRev headquarters. Has anyone in the Austin area actually had them tune their 370? What was your experience?

JARblue

I know a few people who used them. All had positive things to say about their tuner (can't remember names off the top of my head).

However, I can tell you I drove at least one of those tuned cars and would not have been happy with the throttle response. But that appears to be a difference in the tuning software capability and not necessarily the tuner's capability.

I can't speak for certain until it really warms up and my tires get a bit grippier but I notice the throttle responds really well. especially in the mid range RPM it just seems to zippity zip zip with the Ecutek throttle response.

my tuner did mention he wasn't sure how much more he could get out of my Z with a 289 whp base run (stillen intakes/exhaust) but he did say that uprev probably wouldn't have hit ecutek's number. not that 3 or so whp means anything on NA.

nice info, mr.jar.

completely defeats the purpose of getting a tune on a near stock car in this case. that throttle input latency needs to go before anything.

After personally tuning my 370Z with both, the amount of options that ecutek has is very very impressive. If you have a tuner who knows what hes doing he can virtually get it to do whatever you would like with all the custom map definitions you can play with.

IE, closed loop fueling, internal boost control (if FI), any limiters your would ever want to set. I deal with a bunch of custom tuning platforms (usually in the diesel truck world) but the amount of options they have in there make me really wish they supported diesel trucks haha.
