-<//** Visconti Tuning Presents: EcuTek STG1 Tune for 370Z & G37!! **\\>-
 

As of today, June 11, we are releasing our highly anticipated calibration tunes for both the Nissan 370Z and the Infinity G37. After extensive research and development, and working exclusively with EcuTek and their incredibly capable RaceRom software, we’ve been able to develop a STG1 calibration capable of producing substantial gains across the board for both the 370Z and G37 platform. EcuTek’s software has allowed us to take full control of factory ignition timing and fueling, which has allowed us to build impressive gains even on stock configurations.


As you can see from the dyno graphs above, not only are we increasing peak output by about 20 wheel horsepower, we’re carrying a flatter torque curve well past 5k RPM’s at an additional 20 ft/lbs to the wheels. This calibration will give you much sharper throttle response, raised rev limits and removed speed governor, which is in addition to several new features we’re working on to come that the RaceRom software will allow us to incorporate.

Visconti Tuning is unique in that we offer free updates to all of our calibrations for the life of the tune. This means that as we continue to perfect and advance the capabilities of our calibration, you’ll always have access to the latest and greatest features without any additional cost. When you purchase our STG1 tune, you’ll receive your own EcuTek OBDII-to-USB cable and ProECU License. This creates a variety of advantages, and gives you the ability to flash and re-flash your ECU whenever you need to. This is especially important for standard service appointments and maintaining active warranty status since you can very quickly flash back in your stock calibration when needed, leaving no trace of ECU modification, and then of course revert right back after you’re finished.


It also allows for advanced datalogging which enables you to record and upload an incredibly thorough analysis of exactly how your engine is performing. By becoming a customer of Visconti Tuning, you’ll be given access to our Support Console, and the ability to upload this information for us to review and make modifications with to dial your tune in even further or take advantage of additional STG1 bolt-ons. And don’t worry if you’ve never performed any of these modifications. All of our kits include comprehensive, step-by-step instructions to walk you through the entire process from A to Z. EcuTek’s RaceROM software can even live datalog parameters not implemented by the Consult-III or standard OBD, such as:

• AFR Bank 1 & 2
• Engine Load
• Injector Duty
• Ignition Correction - The amount of knock retard or advance from the 370Z dynamic advance system.

This makes ProECU much more than just a datalogging tool. It creates an advanced diagnostic tool that can quickly identify problems with the help of the added parameters you can both log and monitor in real-time. We’ve included a screenshot below that shows this additional data.

With all these features and the confidence to know you’ll always be running the latest and greatest releases, it’s time to invest in your car’s performance today and experience a new type of software with ALL the features and capabilities that go along with being a customer of Visconti Tuning!

:tiphat:

So if we were to get a tune and then later down the line add different mods do we get a new etune or is it only for software updates?

No trying to be a jerk, but that G37 was running pig rich to begin with. 10:1 to 10:7 AFR?
So that dyno result is moot.
Were the dirty air filters replaced before run 3?

Is that price for E-tuning, or is that a dyno tune price also if you are down on Long Island to do the tune?

I've seen my fair share of G37's running super rich with factory tune.

Nope this covers software updates and re-tunes for basic STG1 bolt ons, like an intake/exhaust etc. :icon17: Any major upgrades that would bring you into STG2 territory (injectors/fuel pump, e85, forced induction) would require a retune. But our STG1 calibration is already built to handle these boltons so we're confident that very little adjustment will even be necessary with basic upgrades.

It will depend on the mods.

We will update the tune for boltons, but if you add injectors and switch to e85 then there will be a charge for that

That's the entire point of getting the tune, it's to adjust the ecu settings to make the car perform better then stock.

In this case the car was very rich, and the fueling was fixed.. The Gain in power was not totally from the fueling, timing curve was changed

This is a price for a ETUNE

If you wanted to jump on a local dyno you would have to pay for dyno time.. which shouldn't be longer then a hour

I've seen a few very rich with custom tunes !

It's for our STG1 calibration which we have you flash into the car (kit including everything needed for the flash) and then we have you conduct and submit datalogs which you submit through our support console. 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! :)

@visconti or Rich, were any VVEL adjustments made or is VVEL still on the back burner?

At this point, we have control over VVEL but there haven't been any significant gains to be had with our NA tune. We think forced induction applications will make more use of VVEL adjustments and we'll continue to research. We have however made gains with VVT in this calibration. 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.

Adding more or less overlap or something?

I know you won't tell me what you changed (even though I have UpRev and therefore couldn't copy you anyway), but can you tell me where in the RPM range you got gains by fiddling with VVT?

Thanks!

Mostly in the mid range.

Thx!

Group buy? :p

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??


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.

We do anticipate starting our Forced Induction development very soon. In the meantime though, there are some very nice gains to be had with our calibration and basic bolt-ons :tup:

This car is another new frontier for EcuTek, but based on the advances and improvements made with EcuTek on the GT-R platform, you guys should be in for some exciting stuff!

Insane what these cost vs other systems I've used for other platforms! but my question is how are you guys tuning AFR? Every car I've tuned you need a wideband installed and I haven't seen anyone mention that. How are you getting readings off the stock O2's? Other cars O2 suck as they are not widebands and don't read right. Mostly its the range at which they cannot read. So is another $200 on top of a $1000 tune needed to calibrate correctly?

Our stock O2 sensors are widebands from everything I've read here on the forum.

Good to know, thank you.

Correct, the factory system has widebands

If anyone else has anymore questions feel free to let us know.

And thanks for all the guys who have put orders in, you should be receiving your kit shortly !

Lol tough crowd here on the 370z forums. Hopefully ecutek tuners like visconti aren't turned off by the negativity and the way members are coming at them.

This still remains to seen.

Yeah, if it works as well as they claim it'll be a great option. Time will tell.

When is boost control and map switching expected to be available? Just a ballpark estimate is fine. What is the cost of the license and cable without the tune? Nothing against anyone, I just want to have someone local handle that part.

:iagree:

I was disappointed to see the reaction of some of the members. What started as asking clarifying questions soon became a mob mentality with people grabbing their pitchforks. There is nothing wrong with asking questions, getting clarification, et cetera, but when you just start price bashing, name calling, bitching, and so on ... we have no use for those comments. So, unless you have something productive to say or ask, I would suggest you move on.
