Tuning software overload
I'm very interested in a tune and have read numerous posts and anything I can find on the internet which mostly refers me back here.
I have FI CBE and HFC s on the way and already have K&N drop in installed. I also have FI in mind but, that won't be for sometime. I do have access to a dyno but, figured most of the tuning will be remote tune with me flashing the ECU ect... What I'm looking for is for my Z to be at the highest performance level with what I have and still have high reliability. I will be tracking the car occasionaly and have decided upRev and ecuTek look to be the best options. Any input from those with experiance with either tuning suite is much appreciated. Thanks |

Boils down to Uprev, which has been around and reliably tuning 370z's for years, or ECUtek, which just came out with 370z software and claims to be better than Uprev, but with no objective proof, and half the promised features "coming soon"

You can get exactly the same results from both suites, but the getting it done is far easier, and more repeatable with EcuTek. |

Well said Seymore.
I am still "waiting" for those updates add promised by EcuTek loooooong ago. So for now the only option out there that actually says and does as advertised is Osiris. |

I have not used ECUtek yet as I see no reason to spend thousands of dollars for a new, unproven system that does essentially the same thing as Uprev.. but with key features still "under development". I do have plenty of experience tuning with Uprev however and I do not see whats so hard about it.

Subd. Won't need a tune for a few months, but optimistically awaiting more reviews of ECUtek 😃

And, no offence, but if you have not tried the two back to back, you have zero frame of reference. And as far as "unproven". But again, to each his own |

Either software can pull the same power out of a n/a car you guys are still "unproven" in the FI dept,I haven't seen 1 dyno sheet from you guys plus I tuned my own FI car by myself and it has more power than any SC kit on the fourm so I would'nt say Uprev is hard to use.

But all that said, if you had a chance to look at Uprev vs Ecutek you would understand what I am talking about. No one is bad mouthing Uprev, so get the chips off your shoulders, guys. You act as if its a personal affront to you that something else came along in the tuning world. Look at it like this, if you have uprev and your happy, then there ya go, stick with it, enjoy and be happy. We are not using it anymore, and have already moved several of our older customers over at no cost. |
