My Initial Impressions of EcuTek/Dynotronics

Nice write up! I will also be going EcuTek in the near future I hear you can gain significant increase with just the CBE and this alone and its management

Nice write up! I will also be going EcuTek in the near future I hear you can gain significant increase with just the CBE and this alone and its management with the Z's VVEL. I can't wait for the map switching feature.

So far I have uploaded 4 adjusted files into my ECU. Many adjustments have been made with the most recent file adjusting ignition timing as well as adding more TQ down low.

I am eagerly awaiting the 5th adjusted file as Joe (Dynotronics) will be adjusting the Cam Timing to generate additional HP down low. I have a 7AT which shifts very smoothly, but can get bogged down low. This adjustment will attempt to remedy that situation.

Overall, I am pleased with the progress we have made so far. I am looking forward to what the future holds.

I would like to share another update.

Today I received my 7th file adjustment from Joe at Dynotronics. This was the one I was waiting for. He adjusted the Cam Timing to generate additional HP/TQ in the low end.

I can say, mission accomplished. This car is more enjoyable to drive than ever. The additional TQ in the low end has all but eliminated the bogged down feeling the 7AT is known for. It is more "peppier/responsive" now. This thing just wants to take off. It's like going from riding a Mule, ok a very fast Mule (in the beginning) to being on board a Thoroughbred race horse (currently).

I have been very impressed and satisfied with the results Joe has been able to get out of this.

I understand Map Switching is right around the corner. I am eagerly awaiting this feature. Joe also advised Transmission ECU tuning for the 7AT is also in the works and coming very soon. Hopefully this will also include Launch Control. How awesome would that be to have full launch control functionality like the GT-R.

Good times are here and more is on the way!!
