Question regarding Osiris software

NickBaragona

I called a local shop for a quote on an uprev tune, and they asked if I already had the Osiris software. I do not, and they said that would be an additional $750 on top of the tune. Is this normal, or just that shop in particular?

i'm also looking for tuning shops at the moment,problem is that none are close to me that have experience with a Z. from what i've found some shops will try getting you with making a decent profit from buying an uprev kit for your car to tune it. probably what that $750 extra charge is since a standard osiris is $500 and the tuner version is $700

i just bought a uprev kit and can probably tune mine myself well. just need access to a dyno.

That's really steep considering an UpRev lisence is only $300 from the vendors I've been to, and the tuning is around $3-400. Grand total of $700~.

Any more then that and they're ripping you off.

Talk to John @ Z1, he can help you out with that. He's their tuner and a great guy.

thanks for the tip. i just dont wanna have to pay someone $400-500 ontop of dyno fees to correct a few minor things on a laptop.

i just bought the UpRev osiris tuner kit. it should be at my house when i get home today actually lol

also i def need a tune since here in PA i only use 93 octane since all the pumps have it here. from what ive been told Z's are stock tuned for 91 octane. also my exhaust and test pipe addition could benefit from a proper tune.

What if I don't want to tune it myself? Why should I have to purchase the software? That's what I don't understand...I thought it was just a flat rate for the whole deal.

XwChriswX

You don't have to purchase the software, just the License from UpRev. Which is $300. Tuning is extra of course, but is not $700 alone. Usually shops run flat rates of $600-700 for License + Tune. Anything more then that is shop markup, and a cause to go elsewhere.

each UpRev tune on a car needs its own license from uprev. even if you dont purchase the kit and just want the tuner to do everything and you just drive it they still gotta purchase a license from uprev. i think im saying this right lol.

i'm semi new to this as well.

Thanks, that makes sense. It's just like any other software then, Windows, Photoshop, ect. I guess I thought the shop could purchase the software and use it without purchasing a license each time. Now if I purchased the software myself, there would be no need to purchase the license each time I got a tune correct?

XwChriswX

Either with them tuning it, or you tuning yourself, you only need to purchase the license once. After that they keep using your license so all you're paying for is the dyno.

Ok, maybe I will ask the shop about that. I'd like to go to them, as they are the closest. If not, I have a shop about 2 hours away that will do it for $700. Anybody have experience with Jtune Performance or AAM Competition?

XwChriswX

I've heard good words about both, AAM is about an hour away from me so I'm prolly gonna go there when I have a chance.

shop around for sure since that one shop sounds like they are trying to screw you over. i've heard good things about AAM.

you're lucky though. i got no tuners around me that i've read about doing 370z's or GT-R's. closest actual uprev tuner is about 4 hours in ohio or 5 hours in philly that r/t tune i believe was it.

Where in Ohio were are you talking about? I may be in need of a tune within the next year or so and had yet to hear of a tuner that was actually recommended.
