[QUOTE=MidlifeCrisis;3804957]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!

Yeah, that fi tt kit is the real deal. I would love that kit on my car, I got the cash but the "better half" would slit my throat in my sleep if I spent that kind of money on a car. Lol

any one have have the nismo cai intake? been searching but unable to locate one on g37 but reviews mostly on 370z

Nismo JDM R Tune Dual Cold Air Intake System CAI 16576-RNZ38 - Infiniti G37

That's not a cai, it's a short ram and will get heat soaked. If you want an intake just get the Takeda or stillen Cai, proven gains.

most people here use the R2C for short ram intakes.

also:

"Application: 350Z 2007-2009 VQ35HR engine, G37 Coupe 2008+ (Heatshield will not work)"
so it seems that it was made for the 350z VQ35HR engines

haven't even heard of that one.

I definitely will post once I get the tune, which I cannot wait for! Really? I wouldn't have thought that a tune would make it sound appreciably different. Yeah I like really like the stuff I've heard about ECUTek but Tony over at Jotech convinced me to go with UPRev because that's primarily what they specialize in. We talked about adjusting the TCM module to make the shifts a little quicker and harder (yes, I know...one of the thigns that most people complain about in the 7AT thread). That cool, but ECUTek does have the ability to adjust the trans, yes?

That's pretty awesome to hear about the torque and your numbers are pretty nice and solid!

I had it installed today buddy Let me just say that my experience with it mirrors yours. I looked for a BS errand to run tonight so I could be back in the G. I went non-resonated and it's very very deep and loud.

Thanks I talked to seb about the trans maps and ecutek does have some ability to work with the 7at but I like how my transmission acts so I left it alone. Funny because seb was trying to convince me to use Uprev as well, but all the threads I read about ecutek people were raving about the midrange torque gains. Right now ecutek is more expensive but when they come out with all the features they plan for it will be a better tuning solution. Good luck with whichever tuning solution you use and please, post up your numbers I want to see.

Did you notice your exhaust getting louder the more you drove it? Maybe it was just my imagination, but after driving about 110 miles that day, it seemed noticeably louder.


Now go get that tune!!! I have the Takeda being delivered Tuesday and I'll try to get tuned as soon as possible (work schedule permitting). It would be nice to have a thread with more than one dyno chart for the Takeda.


Anyone know who the best Uprev tuner in Texas is? I wonder if it's best to go to Uprev's headquarters in Austin for the tune or try and find a particular tuner that uses Uprev.

Because they do . I made 298 WHP on Stillen gen 3's and made 295 untuned .
I was sitting at 297 with my Takedas untuned . We know the tuning won't give you huge gains up top it's all in the midrange .

It's not ECUTECK that gives the midrange power it's your tuner. If he's confident enough to play with the VVEL . I almost wen sideways to today leaving a toll both went 3/4 throttle and the rears jumped out. Yea the ground was wet but I have a X sedan and never had that happen before on my old NA tune . Strait line and 3/4 and have the rear swing ??
Running my 2nd revision from Motion lab , 99% done I need to get 2 4 gear pulls on this map then load his 3rd revision get the logs and send it back and I'm done !
I maybe at the dyno this Saturday for my numbers!

are you using ECUTEK or Osiris?

Tuners in my area use Osiris and Im concerned with ppl claiming better results with the ECUTEK due to the "cam/valve timing".

And don't forget , total control over ignition timing. For our cars this is a big deal.

ANMVQ

iTrader: (13)

UPREV I have both Oriris and Ciper on my laptop.
That's exactly why their claiming it . My tuner IS adjusting the cam/timing on my tune . It's just on ECUTEK the table to control the VVEL is easier to use UPREVs is a difficult table to understand. Learned that just in conversations with tuners for each side .

Yes ECUTEK is claiming total control over the timing, but why are they having issues with it advancing on its own?

conkus805

The timing only advances when the car is coming back down to idle, and it results in a little bit of idle hang before it settles. It has no adverse affects on drivability nor is it harmful to the engine. It's just something ecutek needs to work out but there are not many logs of the event happening. On my 7at sedan it is not noticeable at all, it is noticeable in Mt cars tho. The Nissan timing strategies on this car are confusing, I wouldn't be surprised if it is an easy fix once ecutek sees more logs of the timing advancing.

I haven't noticed yet if it's getting louder yet. Haha, I will. It will probably be at the end of August before I get it though. I will share it with y'all when I get it done.

You'll like the Takeda. It was a biatch to install and align properly.

I don't know about who the best in Texas is but Thomas at Jotech in the Dallas area is the master of Uprev that I'm aware of. He will be tuning my car.
