Another ECUTEK trial

wideglideleon · 12-08-2015, 12:37 PM

I just received my cable and license .
I will be working with Sebastian at Specialty Z.
I will keep everyone up to date to how this remote tuning is going.
Wish me luck!

Keep us updated on the results.

I'm very interested in the results. I'm going with ECUTek and I have been considering them to do my tune.

Do it. Seb is the freaking man. Honest as the day is long and one hell of a tuner. Highly recommended as he is the only one who will touch the Z. It's been boxed up and shipped to him also. Great place.

Update went for emission testing to re register my car and they failed me, apparently could tell the ECU was tempered with. the print out states (Vehicle has received a tamper fail status based in information received from the vehicle's On Board Diagnostic system ODB).
I will reflash the stock tune and try it again and let everyone know what they say if anything.
Seb said he has never seem this before.
That's AZ for ya.

Sub'd to see what happens here. I'm assuming you are NA? I have no chance, might have to say I live with Bob up there in Flag when emission testing comes up for me! What are people doing to get around this? I'm sure there's other boosted out there than need to pass emissions?

This used to happen with Uprev too. In Illinois they will fail you if the sensors for downstream o2 sensors are disabled. Wonder if its the same thing?

Keep us updated on your experience!

I've been thinking of getting an intake this spring (to add to my current FI test pipes and exhaust set up), but if I do, I would want to get a tune. Since there aren't any Z tuners nearby, I would need an etune.

wideglideleon · 12-09-2015, 09:37 AM

I downloaded the software from Ecutek's website on my pc updated it including the license. Sabastian had me plug into my car and capture some info for him my ROM ID #, this was saved as a screen capture and Emailed to him.
I will let you all know next step and how it goes.

wideglideleon · 12-10-2015, 07:59 AM

Was told base tune should be sent today.
I am excited to see what is different.

wideglideleon · 12-11-2015, 09:41 AM

I received my base tune as promised.
Will make time this weekend to do some real time data logging.
Not quite sure of the directions from Sebastian and I am sure I will need to get more specific directions, maybe even a phone call.
Wish me luck!

osbornsm · 12-11-2015, 09:51 AM

I just flashed ECUtek with another vendor that uses the same process.

Hit me up, i got the process figured out.

Hotrodz · 12-11-2015, 02:30 PM

You don't have to worry about Seb, if there is a delay in his response it's for good reason. Seb has been tuning my car for almost 3 years (it will be 3 in January) and he did my TT install 2 years ago and he has never failed to communicate with me to my dissatisfaction.

Edit: You can also PM me if you got any questions as well.

wideglideleon · 12-17-2015, 11:25 AM

Seb has been great I have my base tune and need to log for different maps.
I have been to busy with work and the holidays coming up to have done it yet.
I hope to have time to take the car out this weekend and get the data logged for Seb to do his magic.
So far so good.
