Every vendor/tuner I've talked to will go back and forth with me forever about how great it is, but the moment I ask specifics on how it works and how it differs from Uprev I get silence.

Honestly I don't know that it is any better. I think its better for the tuner...makes their job easier which can potentially result in better performance for your car.

Ive gotten the exact same thing.

The only difference I personally can see is that Ecutek's engineers are making progress and innovating at a much faster rate over uprev.



Also while I was tuned in August there was a G37 that was a sandy victim. Car was frankensteined back to life. Anyways John was tuning that and knocked a few issues out for the owner. There are cars out there..

Call me tomorrow and I'll tell you why EcuTek's current release software is better for the end-user

I appreciate the offer John, but I'm not making any kind of change until the features that were "just around the corner" in August are available. There has been no one here that has switched, only stock vehicles so we haven't seen any evidence of Ecutek providing any better results than Uprev. The gains seem to be right in line with what a similar Uprev tune would have provided. The greater timing control is great, but that's the only thing Ecutek has going for it until all of these vaporware features actually arrive.

vaporware, that's cute.

Keep talking like that , I'm sure that's the type of inspiration the dev guys at EcuTek want.

The MX5 guys don't talk like that, maybe that's why their VE Based SD, Launch Control, cylinder deactivation traction control is already in beta...just maybe.

Ah, the famed Visconti wit strikes again. If the Ecutek guys have a problem with people mentioning the fact that their vendors were telling us these features were going to be available "any day now" three months ago then **** them. If they are holding off on promised features until people on forums show the proper deference, they'll have a hard time selling their product. For some reason, they let guys like you be their mouthpiece when you've proven you wouldn't know how to deal with customers to save your life. Between here and NASIOC, it's pretty much common knowledge that you're a very capable tuner who should let someone more even tempered handle all communication with the outside world. Your post above is a perfect example. It's not unreasonable to express doubt when promised features have been back burnered for months, and there's been no concrete evidence it's any better than Uprev, only sales hype. Want to prove us wrong? Post the data logs Shovelman asked for. Otherwise, don't you have some cars to burn down with your flex fuel kits?

Get a ecutek tune and you can make all the data logs you want, or ask any one of the guys/gals here that have made the switch.

I'm sorry EcuTek or their dealers, me included have disappointed you. Stuff gets pushed back sometimes, if you think ecutek is vapor ware don't buy it.. That simple.

This time last year the Cobb fan boys were saying that about GTR, now most of those big talkers have EcuTek. All the stuff that's getting done for GTR will be hitting 370Z.

I personally don't see a reason to stop GTR development work. If ecutek can get this stuff working perfectly on that car it's gonna make it a lot easier when it comes to 370z.

But coming on here and moaning about it... Go moan to Uprev for features.

In the end it'll get done and in the end you'll still moan about something lol

Btw I sold 3 flex fuel kits yesterday and one today. I'm doing just fine. If we can find the inputs I'll make one for the 370z.

Good luck with all of that, John. I have no problem switching once the promised features are available. I also have no problem saying its all ******** until they actually do what they've said they were going to do. And the burden of proof that the product is better is not on the end user. It's on the vendor.

The fact that you think this is a valid response to a potential customer's demand for evidence that the product does anything different than an existing, competing product is, frankly, astonishing.

Also, you mention "guys and gals that have made the switch"...

Please, name one person on this forum that has made the switch so that I can ask them for relevant data. I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
