upload to a site like tinypic or imgur.
after the upload you will get an IMG code which looks something like:

then paste it on here.

Hopefully this works. This is the dyno sheet, I'm loving the torque and midrange power gains. If anyone is on the fence about the Takeda Cai or ecutek, the dyno on my car is all you need to see to convince you that they are a good combo.

I feel the same way, seb is a great tuner and is always open to questions about what he is doing with the tune. I only trust him and his crew with my car.

Thanks! I wish he did the untuned in 4th too but at least we got a good look at the gains a tuned Takeda Cai makes over stock.

Conkus: Awesome gains brother! I would have logged in to see results yesterday...but I had my FI CBE and RHFC's installed yesterday morning and all I did was drive around all day! Once I went home after running some BS errand, I would find another excuse to get back in the G and drive around. I will definitely be ordering the Takeda CAI. I'm not sure if there is any good ECUtek tuners around San Antonio so I might have to go with Uprev in Austin.

Twin_Snails: Get ready for some fun with the FI goodies! Much easier to spin the tires after install. Be prepared for some extra noise though.

Good to hear midlife! I took the long way home yesterday just to get some more driving time in after my tuneThe Takeda would compliment your mods nicely, it gave me about 10whp and 14wtq gain with my tune so it definitely worth it. Also, nothing wrong with Uprev I just went with ecutek because it's something different from what most people have. Post up your tune results in this thread, I would love to see how your results turn out.

I will definitely post up once I get it done. Might be awhile though. I'm in the Oilfield and business is booming. I have no idea when my next day off is. The intake should be waiting for me at the house whenever I get home. Not having a set schedule makes it hard to get the tune done (I would imagine you need an appointment going to the Uprev headquarters).


I was thinking about getting the Takeda tubes hydo-dipped a custom color (thread on here about a guy in San Antonio that does it). I'm not sure if the paint would hold up though in the engine bay. Although, it would always have cold air cooling it down while the engine is running. What do you think?

Oh BTW...when I got my Fast Intentions installed at JMS racing in San Antonio I had the pleasure of seeing a 370 Nismo Z with a Fast Intentions Twin Turbo installed. Funny thing is, by looking at it you could barely tell that it was a TT. Looked like a CAI installed, all the goodies were hidden. A buddy of mine was drooling all over it. Antonio from JMS racing told me the customer had to wait a year and a half to receive it. Was told that they put down 620whp!

I apologize if this post was off topic, had to share...Now back on topic about Takeda and Ecutek!

Does Seb from Specialty Z travel for tunes or does he stay put in Cali?

So you gained 10 whp out of your Takeda's ?! hummm .. Stillen puts 50% more of that!
Minimum 15 whp !!

Not to bash on your setup but i'm just saying ...
I don't understand why everyone says both Takeda and Stillen put the same whp !
People making decisions by these reviews so ..

I would see what the heat rating is of the dip your thinking about. Sounds like a good idea but I'm having no problems with mine with no coating so take that for what it is. I have no idea if Seb travels for tunes but I would venture to guess that he doesn't with the exception of special events. Best thing to do is email him and ask, he is really good at getting back to you via email.

No worries on your comments about the setup, I'm just doing this for the better of the community. There really are no threads with this type of setup on myg37, and I'm trying something different to give peeps an idea of what to expect. The peak numbers are not too impressive, it's more the gains under the curve that tell the story of this combo. There are areas on the dyno that I make 20+ lbft of torque, and it is very noticeable while driving around town. To be honest, the 5whp more that the stillen put down is great and all but I don't want to cut up the radiator support in case I ever want to go back to stock. I'm sure there are plenty of people who feel the same and are looking at the Takeda for this reason.
