Nissan 370z ecu tune by vrtuned

Juice14 · 02-06-2015, 10:47 AM

Even if the dyno was done in 3rd gear and it showed gains then that's a positive thing. However the amount of HP that it gained is irrelevant, IMO we should look at it in percentage %.

Vivid should try and reset the ECU and do this tune in 5th gear at least to show us in the forum, Even if the final number is lower, people are more interested in the % gains. At least I am.

I guess the philosophy there is to squeeze a little more out of the engine without any risks. I may not have all the answers to your questions, I will do my best to find out. Remember, I'm just a salesman here!

Sub'd...will PM you shortly.

I am not sure if you read my explanation as to why we test in 3rd gear, but now the PPE headers are installed on the car so the number will not be accurate on just the tune anymore. I am waiting on new tires and we're going to align it for the customer. I don't know if time will permit to put it on the rollers again to get a final number with the headers. PPE has already published the gains on the headers, quite some time ago.

The client isn't at all interested in what the car will put down with all the mods. He was just helping me out because he is a good customer of mine and knew I needed a test car.

Our testing is done, the numbers are published along with the method used to obtain those numbers. I can understand for those who will disagree with the results. The tune is mild as I mentioned in my other post, the emissions code will not come up if you have long tube headers and catless pipes and the tune will automatically adjust to future bolt on modifcations. For me, that's well worth the price and downtime to have the ECU bench flashed.

Here's a question why to you remove the ECU to Flash it? Why not with the tuner in the car on the rollers.

This ECU cannot be flashed through the OBDII Port. Such is the case with various vehicles.

Does the flash offer any features like map switching, launch control or other stuff offered by other 370z ecu programs?

I'm confused by this statement. Uprev has been able to flash the ecu through the obd port for years. Did I read this wrong?

I should have said our tune is not available for OBDII flashing at this time. This was our trial run on the VQ37 engine.

Our tune does not offer any of those features.

So, given that the software has fewer features than Uprev and requires the ecu to be removed, is it at least cheaper than Uprev? Otherwise, what's the point?

The point is to develop parts for the 370Z. At no point in this thread am I trying to compete with Uprev's product or other companies who focus solely on Nissan/Infiniti brand.

We offer tunes for many different vehicles and this was our first run at the 370Z platform. I posted this thread to inform the members of what we have going on at our shop and how it pertains to the vehicle they love.

Our tune produced gains over the factory tune IMO that's a win. We offer a complete catback exhaust for this car that sounds and performs great. We will have the test car back again and develop our own cold air intake for the car.

In the meantime I am here to lend support for members who want to buy parts. If they want VR Tune, Agency Power or any of the other brands I sell, my purpose is to promote those brands. I will offer up honesty, a fair price and great customer service to those who choose to do business with me.

Fair enough. Something you might want to do is show how your product is different than the rest of the options on the market. The question about how it handles timing would be a good thing to get a real answer for. Either be better than the competition or undercut the competition's price. There's a market for both, but it doesn't seem like you're addressing either.
