Gains w/ Uprev on Stock G37?
#31
My G37
I was wondering if it’s best to get headers or a cat-back exhaust before I get my G37 tuned...? At the moment it is stock... only aftermarket part it has are typhoon k&n intakes.

best bet is if you’re planning to upgrade headers and exhaust and CATS only then go for a tune. If you’re planning to do more mods like going FI hold off until you reach your mod limit/satisfaction then tune it. Me for example I’m getting Kinetix HFC and the invidia catback with the Z1 manifold then the tune after the manifold as I don’t plan to TT or SC the car.

ANY INPUT IS APPRECIATED:
Checking in to see if anyone has either ecutek or uprev tune on a stock or close to stock G37?
I've got a K&N typhoon intake as my only performance mod. My plan was to go either catback or high flow cats then get the tune and leave it at that.
HOWEVER I got my car on a lift yesterday and the exhaust is a RUSTY MESS. The bolts that hold the cats on are completely gone and the y-pipe and mid-pipe bolts aren't far behind. If I start trying to swap out exhaust components I may be opening up a can of worms.
My G is my daily driver and I drive a lot, and I feel that the stock power is sufficient for me (especially coming from an 06 TSX). A huge bump in power is not really what I'm looking for in a tune. I do feel that things could be sharpened up quite a bit (throttle response, flattened out torque curve, auto trans shifts, etc.) to tailor to my driving style. More usable power is what I'm looking for, and I think a simple tune can do this.
My question to anyone with a tune on a stock/close to stock G, or anyone knowledgeable in tuning: are the gains worth the $700-$850 potential cost??

That being said, although my exhaust is in rough shape, I do think it will last a while longer as long as I don't attempt pulling it all apart. I initially had trouble justifying spending $500 to $800 on either HFC's or a catback, on top of a tune. Now I definitely don't want to spend that much money on an exhaust if I am going to have to drop another couple hundred to get the old rusty pipes taken off.

I don't disagree with you in that short ram intakes likely don't add any power, but I certainly don't think any power has been lost. The car still pulls strong. Short ram intakes likely don't have any true benefits (other than induction noise) until after a tune when the whole setup (with add-ons) can be used as a cohesive unit.
These particular intakes were on the car when I bought it. I personally would not have paid the ~$300 for the set, but they were already on there, have a good build quality, and sound great...so I figured I'd stick with them.

On the side not with r2c there was lot more exhaust drone...

Ecu mail in
Please report back with your thoughts on this. I'm in a similar situation, I have a completely stock '08 G37 coupe. From the research I've done you really do not gain much without going to a turbo or super charged. The intake and exhaust mods, you don't get much bang for your buck. Just improving the throttle lag would make my car feel faster.
WELL Worth the $300!
Your car will feel completely different
The motor has more power you can feel
And throttle response is great from the top of pedal to the floor
I dont know if you have been on Z1motorsports website or not.But here is a picture of what you would get if you mail your Ecu in.
Write back if you send yours in....
I would like to here how you like it
