When we have your datalogs we can make any necessary adjustments to fine tune the calibration for your car.

We also have an extensive guide included that will walk you through the entire process! It really is a very easy upgrade, especially after you become familiar with the software! We're really happy with it! :)

So from the time you initially flash the car, till you have the data to correct the tune and sent the update, the car will not be 100% and people should hold off on any sort of spirited activity right??

There is also room left to grow with this calibration and we intend to continue updating the tune as new advancements are made. And of course, anyone purchasing this tune will have first crack at all of these new revisions.

So for the N/A guys (the larger margin of 370Z owners right now), there are no real "gains" to be had from VVEL tuning, which was supposed to be one of the major selling points for the ECUTek software? :(

^I mean that's how etuning works, Z1 does the same thing with uprev. It's the same as installing parts and not immediately having it tuned, doesn't mean you can't drive the car.

Which is why I didn't say you couldn't drive the car.

I just said not to push the car. :tiphat:

You can depending on what bolt ons you have, how many people have mods and don't get tuned.

I did myself for prolly a good 30k cause I was waiting till I had everything done before getting the tune, so I'd only have to do it once.

But I never took it to the strip or the track for this consideration...

The difference is running the OEM tune, vs the ECUTek tune which changes several different parameters. So I didn't know if it would be different situations.

That's a possibility but again that's just how etuning works. You get the base, drive around, and then send the info back. If you're concerned about track tuning, take it to the track with your computer.

I understand that, and I'm not arguing that...

My bad thought you were

No sir, just confirming that it was/was not safe to treat it the same as with the OEM tune. :tiphat:

My understanding regarding VVEL tuning was always that it probably wouldn't be much use for N/A application (which is one of the reasons we didn't screw with it on my car). The real potential is to see what it can do for FI applications. However, it doesn't look like anyone is diving head first into that one... not that I blame them.

I'm hoping they do, because it would be really cool (not just for the added power) to see what it is that makes it so complicated...

I'm a huge nerd so that stuff interests me on the How/Why things are the way they are. Why has it taken people going on 4 years to crack it, when everything else was done seemingly the next day (Cobb/UpRev in 09-10).

I'd like to see how this goes, really interested in the progress, the main thing I am waiting on is the dual mapping. I talked to Z1 about this and with the nitrous build and new GTR manifold I plan to use for direct injection I think Ecu Tek might be able to get me some pretty good gains.

Map Switching is right now the road along with a bunch of other things :)

So hang tight, it's coming

Can't blame them neither. The money adds up quickly

Probably correct ... but I think if you change out the stock intake manifold with something that sucks more air volume in than the stock one does on an NA platform ... seems that would be potentially gains with ecutek. I could be wrong ... I am no rocket scientist when it comes to this stuff.
