Sounded awful. it just sound wrong guys, was considering Up Rev but might go on the other direction if such tuning is Okay. In my region we have authorized dealers or tuner shall i say. but I don't trust them with my car, can Up Rev do a custom tune by shipping them my ECU? If so who is the best tuner out there?!

I am by no means an expert on tuning but it can be done remotely. Khoi Ha, Sales and Marketing, AAM Competition provided me with the following information; " As far as tuning goes, most places will charge about 600-700 for a dyno tuning session with the Uprev flash license, right now we are charging 599 for this service.

The difference between dyno tune and e-tuning (or remote tuning) Dyno tuning takes at most a few hours, you have the convenience of doing all of your pulls on the dyno and can adjust your maps at the tip of your fingers. It's convenient, quick, and effective. However not everyone has access to a reputable tuner, or a tuner at all within reasonable distance so they Uprev offers the standard cable, which you can buy to hook up your laptop to your car yourself.

Remote tuning is simple, can be just as effective as a dyno tune, but requires you to do your end of the work too. Instead of doing pulls on the dyno and adjusting the map in real time, now we (the tuner) send you a map, you load it to your car. After the map is loaded, you hop onto the highway and log certain/specific data points, via the cable and your own laptop (and the software), these data points get saved and sent to us, we analyze the logs and adjust your map accordingly, and send you an updated map. You go back and forth a few times until your map is perfect. A bit more complicated but by no means is this method inferior to a dyno tune.

If you do get a dyno tune, I highly recommend you ask them to take it on the street and fine tune/street tune it as well. Although dyno tune can be very accurate, depending on the dyno, it doesn't apply real world load. Some tuners will argue that street tuning a street car is the way to go, and dyno tunes are for those just looking to make crazy numbers, haha I say the best of both worlds is dyno tune, then fine tune things on the street!"

You should PM Khoi, he is very knowledgeable and provides outstanding customer service. I hope this helps.

It did help a lot!. E-tunning seems to complicated to be honest however, it would be the only alternative in my case. I'll try to hook my self up with our drag racing team in Qatar "Al-Anabi". Hopefully they can do UpRev tuning at there convenient.

Thanks for the tip

Anyone knows what is the difference between locked and unlocked UpRev tune?. Obviously one is adjustable and the other one is fixed but which one would you go if you want a Full bolt on setup. does it worth it to have the car tune after full bolt on mods? is it a must to save my engine from quick failure

A locked tune just means the rom can't be edited by anyone but the person who locked it. It's a way for a tuner to be sure his work isn't used by another tuner without their permission. I kind of hate it, but it makes sense from the business standpoint.

I personally would never load a locked tune unless the tuning was being done for free by someone local who doesn't mind being bugged for tweaks.

Remote tuning is based upon the tuner's experience with tuning that particular car or, more specifically, engine and "what makes power".

Data logs can't log power output. Most e-tuning is just to keep AFR in the range that's wanted as well as any other indicators the tuner knows to look for based upon past experiences with that engine.

The only way to effectively tune specifically for power is to do it on a dyno, in real time, so that the tuner can see what does and doesn't work with a particular setup with a particular set of environmental parameters.

I've started arguments on this forum with statements like that, but it's true. You can't do science without proper data and you can't get the relevant data needed to be 100% accurate without collecting that data yourself with proper instrumentation. Everything else is best effort with known parameters.

(Which to be honest, is more than enough for most of us haha)

Well-explained sadly the 370Z is rare so yea... wish me good luck with finding a local tuner to dyno tune the hell out of the Z!. Heard few people talking about detonation if the car have for instance (Full bolt on) w/o tune.. Any opinion on that? Thanks

Forgive me for not reading through all 21 pages, are there NA gains and are tuners using this at all? Planning on getting mine tuned in a few months after winter brakes(brakes ahaha, wow, I just did that), or maybe I should wait if this is still in development/worth it for NA.

thanks guys!
