But my car is an 08 G37S....I got in contact with Ecutek, and they told me that tuning on an 08 isn't possible due to the size on the ECU. the 08 ECU has only 1 GB, 09 (and up i'm guessing) has 1.5GB...

My question is, would I be able to integrate that extra memory somehow separate from the ECU? or would I even be able to swap my 08 ECU for an 09 ECU?

I heard that J. Visconti may have an answer, but no reply from my email so far.

I got that from the first time you mentioned it. I need answers, not opinions. The only reason why I asked him is because ECUTEK themselves mentioned that he may have a solution.

No offense.

Sounds legit, I'll ask around...that was one of my worries, that it wouldn't be compatible w/o some tweaking.

No offense taken. Glad you found out your answer one way or another. He has cost me time and money that I will never get back and anytime his name is brought up my blood boils. You don't just stop communication in the middle of a tune like he did me with major problems still existing. Been 2 months since I have heard from the guy.

AMNVQ hit me up on my thread on myg37.com w/ John's thread on *attempting* to make it work, but it just stops, so I'm assuming he gave up on it. Ecutek can tune it, but I'd be without the goodies that makes me want it in the first place (no flat foot shifting, no flex fuel, no launch ctrl...)

I'll invest the $$ if needed, but I'm not selling my car now to upgrade to a year later...been paid off for 2.5 years lol.

If/when I get my hands on the schematics, I'm going to try to see if it'll work on paper before actually trying it out.

if not....anyone know of any good piggybacks? Either that or stand-alone; that's the only option I can think of at the moment.



*UpRev is like a last choice at this point lol
