Uprev VS Ecutek

Wonka2581 · 10-27-2015, 12:43 PM

Can someone please tell me what is better? what are the main differences between the two?

What are the pros and cons with the two?

Im looking to get a tune and just want to go with the best one.

As for future plans after my Z is payed off I plan on going FI.. Thank you.

The main variable is the tuner. That being said, the general consensus seems to be swinging towards Ecutek for having a bit more in the software for the tuner to manipulate. Several forum members have threads documenting their swap from Uprev to Ecutek and their reasoning. Try searching

I think Uprev's biggest pro at this point is that you can tune it yourself if you want. Ecutek does not offer that option.

Got ya, I dont care to tune my car myself... I would more then likely blow it up... Is there a price diffrence??

Yes tuners are all different but the total control of the timing in ECUTEK put them over the top. I went from one to the other and pick up 16 WHP

power is always there with UREV the car felt sluggish sometimes, Or at least till a romp on it a few times.

How much do they normally run? and does it work the same a uprev? as in Can I flash my car with my current mods and send them in and they send me a new map based off my data?

they are about the same in price 600-800 depending on where you go..
and yes if you have buy the cable..
you can data log send them the file they retune and send the file back and you upload it.. very easy to do

Hey Wonka, long time no see. Have you researched tuners in the Chattanooga area yet? I'm curious about Custom Concept Motorsports over in Soddy, but I'll probably end up going down to Z1 for my tune.
