Uprev.vs. Ecutek

Some questions in the differences between UpREV and Ecutek: 1) EcuTek is still using Base Fuel Schedule in their maps, or uses a more standard Load Value (0%-100%)? 2) Time

Some questions in the differences between UpREV and Ecutek:

1) EcuTek is still using Base Fuel Schedule in their maps, or uses a more standard Load Value (0%-100%)?
2) Time Advance Map is still using milliseconds to Max Pressure or is a real Time Advance Map (degrees BTDC)?
3) The maps are all in 16x16 (AFR, Compensation, TA), or AFR is less defined as UpREV?
4) The ECU of my MY2009 1EL5B is managed in Ecutek?

Thanks

1) No longer uses BFS at all. In order to change fueling, you change injector size/MAF voltages. So for instance, if you're running 1000cc's, you literally go into your "fuel injector" table, and put in 1000, and it scales it for you.
2) Timing is set as real timing using a (don't quote me) 20x24 table
3) AFR tables are 20x24
4) I'll see if I can pull this up later. Keep in mind there are 1mb roms which have less functions then other roms.

I know UpRev has been updated abit lately, so has it caught up to EcuteK?

I need to know which one is the best one to use when I have my TT 370Z build tuned which has 7sp AT.

Is Uprev better for the 7AT in terms of tuning the transmission for it?

I asked Ecutek if they allow control of Line pressure, and I don't understand much of what they replied, Im still a noob sorry. Maybe some can help me here:


"Hello,

As far as we can find there are no direct maps in the ECU that control the TCM line pressure, the same effect can be found by increasing the torque demand and torque actual maps which output signals on the CAN bus to the TCM and these values effect line pressure set by the TCM. We don't have direct control of the TCM at yet but i believe other software uses the same maps but calls them line pressure maps but cant be 100% sure.

For any boosted 370, ecutek is hands down the better software. It has more features and better control over the ecu like speed density, flex fuel, boost/traction control, and ignition timing. im not sure about the features for the 7at, thats a question for seb.

Ok. Well I asked Fast Intentions the same question and they replied that it does and they have custom tunes written specifically for this through their tuner.

Uprev hasn't surpassed Ecutek in no form or fashion. The best EMS software is EcuTek. The latter has more control over the ECU than Uprev. Also Ecutek is able to manage the line pressure on the Automatics.
