Stock 2015 370Z Tuned on ECUTek

VitViper · 07-15-2015, 05:56 PM

I'm pretty happy with the results using ECUTek on my car. After battling with the terrible control UpRev's software provides it was a blast to have the ECU doing what I wanted it to do.

Shopping around for either a 2.75" or 3" dual exhaust right now. Test pipes as well, I want to try those parts out to see what the car makes, and really eyeballing the Fast intentions twin turbo kit.

Gains?

Holy tease!!

I have a M370 minus the hardware. It's brand new

Apparently I'm not allowed to post watermarked dyno charts. I'll cut it in half to remove the watermark... lol.... With or without the watermark it was obviously tuned by yours truly

I don't have anything to sell and paying for vendor status just to post a dyno chart and burn a hole in my pocket is silly.

Just wanted to share my results and browse the forum to pick out an exhaust and turbo setup. Right now on the fence between Fast Intentions TT or Boosted Performance single. The BP kit seems more attractive since I don't have basically drop the motor to do the install.

Also looking at options for clutch for the car, I have experience with a few different brands on other platforms, but not sure how well that carries over to the Z. First time I was in a Z was the 07 VHR, and I got rid of it since tuning wasn't available and I got bored not being able to do anything with the car.

The FI TT kit is the best kit on the market but you are going to pay for it in upfront kit cost and labor effort to install. The BP kit in my opinion is the best bang for your buck. If you do go with the BP kit I would recommend not picking up an exhaust and just having a custom one fabed from the turbo downpipe to the muffler/tips.

That's what it looks like. Whichever kit I get I'll not be using their turbo(s), I'll be fitting either a Comp 6267 on the single (oilless to avoid the sump pump) or a couple of small Comps on the TT kit (something like two 4753's or 5153's for quick spool).

LSD is in the stars as I got a touring as well, Carbonetics still a good choice?

Chinese exhaust (agency power, lol), my own custom test pipes (certain company screwed up and sent me G35 test pipes, got very custom to make them fit, lol), Stillen long tube intakes.

Fully tuned on ECUTek, vs bone stock baseline. I actually have a full step by step test (I put the test pipes & exhaust on first, then tuned; then put on intakes, and tuned again) of the parts. The exhaust mods pretty much made power using just my stock tuned calibration from before, minor changes.

When I put on the Stillen intakes they lost power pretty much EVERYWHERE, even after fixing the fueling. I had to get really in depth with the VVEL mapping and then I was able to extra power out of the car with them.

I was under the impression that ECUTek didn't allow for end user custom tuning ? (ProECU) You make it sound like you were able to make these adjustments yourself ?

VitViper, who did the tune?

He did.

it sounds like he does tuning for his job and this is his personal car. ecutek doesn't let non tuners tune their cars with ecutek as far as i know

How much gain did you finally get from the Stillen intake?

Japanjay · 08-22-2015, 05:04 PM

Wish he would reply, I wouldn't mind making the drive from seattle for a tune.....

No they do not, I've been an ECUTek tuner for a while.

I tuned the car. I don't want to get in trouble with the forum owners as I already got reprimanded for putting a watermark on my dyno charts.

I posted full results of all the parts here: The Nissan 370Z — Testing Bolt Ons & Tuning | VitTuned Blog

I found the intakes to make a little bit of power, but only after extensive retuning. Obviously on a car that hasn't been tuned previously they may exhibit more "gains", but they are placebo gains (ie, not from the intakes, but from the tune or other supporting mods).
