Tuning question

Patrickz34 · 03-23-2016, 07:09 PM

Hey guys, I am being charged 600$ for a uprev tune in socal, or $560 if I bring my friend in with me. Do you guys think this is a fair price, or know of anyone that has a better price in southern california? Thanks!
Includes dyno run of course

Would help if you tell us where it was from.

dP3NGU1N · 03-23-2016, 08:43 PM

Sounds about right, actually... I'm guessing specialty z?

StillenZ84 · 03-23-2016, 09:13 PM

I would hope if it was Specialty Z, you would be tuning with Ecutek. Seb is an animal with Ecutek.

I was gonna go with Saul from Nismo Knights, how much am I looking at total with Specialty Z? I believe Saul uses uprev

Patrickz34 · 03-24-2016, 12:07 AM

Update: I just checked their website, ECUtek is 800$ for NA :O is it a huge difference between uprev and ecutek? He charges 600$ with uprev.

That's 850 for the cable,license and tuning (f.i.). $650 NA. if u just want a tune. Give him a call.

Just spoke with specialty Z and the ecutek tune is 850$ for NA. They highly recommended it over uprev due to potentially higher numbers and many more features. Anybody have any input on the ecutek vs uprev topic? thanks! It's a 250$ difference

Ecutek > Uprev

Lots of threads on this, including dyno sheets of guys that made the switch and gained power.

ANMVQ · 03-24-2016, 01:41 PM

Check my UPREV vs ECUTEK thread, I made more WHP just switching software, JohnV did that tune for me also

http://www.myg37.com/forums/ecu-tuni...vs-ecutek.html

So Finally did it

TerribleONE · 03-24-2016, 01:58 PM

Go to Specialty Z and use Ecutek

No it will not unless you have other mods (HFC's or TP's)

Patrickz34 · 03-24-2016, 06:04 PM

Thanks guys! I spoke to Seb @ specialtyZ and am convinced with EcuteK, will post results when finished.

StillenZ84 · 03-24-2016, 06:11 PM

Very good choice! You will not be disappointed.
