I <3 EcuTek
 

Below are my results from the EcuTek RaceROM tune. It was a gain of 13HP and 10 ft/.lbs of torque over my UpRev tune.

Drive-ability is greatly improved and worth every penny. :driving:

What are your mods? That looks like a happy dyno! Did you use the same dyno from uprev to ecutek?

I'll say it before everyone else does....unless this was the same day, same dyno, and conditions this really doesn't mean much.

Well it was the same dyno but not the same day. The dyno is in a temperature controlled room. The temps were a few degrees of but not to bad.

Subbed for skepticism

This is getting interesting now :)

350 just seems a little high man. Regardless,glad your happy with your tune. :tup:

Regardless of the read, it's more important the difference between the uprev and the ecutek tune. 13hp is quite a bump for something like that, considering no other mods were altered.

Here's my last dyno run with UpRev. It was done in December of 2014.

The EcuTeck RaceROM was ran last week of this calendar year.

No change in mods, no change in dynos, no change in tuners (PTuning - Manassas, VA).

maybe next time i'm in VA i'll swing by PT to get me some of these happy dyno numbers lol

isn't dyno dynamics the one that hooks up to the hub with the wheels off and whatnot?

^I've used a dyno dynamics for years and they are pretty consistent.

If anything I would say car to car sometimes we (tuners) can get a little more out of the car during colder months.. That doesn't seem to be the case here

You have nice gains using EcuTek !

He hasn't listed his mods so there's no way to know

probably stillen sc.........:wtf2:

That's no surprise. The car itself puts down more power in the colder months so just by percentages you would make more power off the tune in colder months.

Nah...it's not the can tune:rofl2:

Honestly it could say 400whp.. it's the before and after that really matters.

c'mon now we all know ET and trap speed is what matters......

:ugh2:

Here's a list of my mods from my FS section post back in April.

As mentioned before, there were no changes to my Z from December 2014 to June 2015 (except for the EcuTek RaceROM and warmer weather).

Engine
-Stillen headers (Jet hot coat - Ceramic)
-Garage Line mid-pipes
-Z1 HFCs
-Top Speed axle-back
-UpRev ECU tuning (previous) now EcuTeck RaceROM (current)
-Bored throttle bodies by Max Bore
-Upper intake by Z1 Motorsports
-Extrude Hone lower intake
-Stillen underdrive pully
-R2C intake tubes

I'm curious, what tuner doesn't do a pull first thing right when you get there to make sure everything's cool and to have a base line right off the rip? So if you showed up you'd have a dyno for the uprev tune, then he installs ecutek and tunes the car. this would give us a before and after same day, same dyno, same temps etc. I'd be very surprised if a tuner just wiped your ecu without doing a thing and started fresh tuning with ecutek. His style might be different but I've never seen that done before unless for example like me I've shown up and wasn't tuned for a 3-port boost controller or new EWG and going WOT right off the rip would of been pretty dumb. Just my $0.02.

could the red line on the graph be the UpRev pull? The numbers of the red line see to coincide with the numbers on the December 2014 pull pretty closely.

been a few years since i've had a car on a dyno, and am definitely no expert.

Well Scott my tuner took the best pull my car made with Uprev that didnt mean he just put it on the dyno and wiped the ecu. The dyno chart is to show the gains from switching the software. Thats why whenever i do any changes to my motor i go to the same dyno. Also i will be going back to the same dyno when we switch over to E85.

Yes the redline is UpRev.

pretty impressive.

this thread and the fact you can correct for gear ratios with the new phase 2 racerom pretty much has me sold on ecutek. only drawback is that there is no end-user control, even if only for the more simple options. (i don't know how to tune anyway though, hahaha)

there will be!
:hello:

It appears ECUTek is now picking up momentum in the Z crowd, finally. The only thing that would send ECUTek over the top is end user tuning.

So you're good to go, he did run it then. You have a before and after and not one from December then.

Thanks Jon we'll be going E85 next week and see what happens. But like we talked about before going into the heads and extrude honing,3 angle valve job with some exhaust cams should open the motor all the way up.

I dont know if he saved it or not but when im over there changing over to E85 i will ask him.

John, I want to see his numbers on my dyno sheet next week! :yum:

Might have to copy/paste though lol

Nice thread and nice gains, glad people are starting to show the differences Uprev vs EcuTek

I can't wait to do it! Plan is it do GTR injectors as they can be had for cheap and a DW65c should be 100% drop in without modding the stock surge tank. At 265lph it's better than the bigger cheaper walbro. I think it's worth it though at $169 vs $80 to not mess that up. I just wanna here 100% if a pump is needed.

Does uprev have a fuel pump duty cycle??

I will post the results when i switch over Scott.

Crazy thing about this dyno is that he is making power all the way to redline

Bored TBs, Z1 upper and extrude-honed lower...gives power back up top

I don't have any of that and my power doesn't drop off up top. I think tuning VVEL takes care of that too

^a turbo helps that problem out :tup:

Very nice numbers. So is 350whp now doable with Ecutek? The average that I've seen around the forums is about 330+ with bolt-ons, some port work, and UpRev.

I made power all the way to 8k, didn't push the car past that rpm to find where it drops. That was with gen3, z1 test pipes, tomie y, tomie y back, uprev. Made 319

Well looks like ecu tek is in my future plans
