closer one than that, try PJ motorsport. Speak to Paul, tell him I put you in touch. www.pjmotorsportltd.co.uk/preview.htm

Comparing dyno,s will always open a can of worms, even more when you start adding run down BHP to wheel figures to get a "flywheel" figure. Running in different gears will provide a slightly different BHP figure due to the loss in a higher numeric ratio while running in 3rd. Running longe ror shorter runs can give different figures so many variables. Also running the cars loose as in not tied down will give different figures. As the RS tuning man (sorry dont know your name) our figures will be different again as we read at the hubs. Dyno days always end of with people asking questions, before and after on the same dyno under the same conditions is the only way to get a good reading.

yes got the PM,s . to busy till October to start looking at doing the re flash maps , will be in contact with everyone when I will start on the project.

yeah agree , we have had 10 of the same cars on the dyno, there was a 15bhp difference between these cars. Point is all cars are different.

all cars are always different a car with 10,000 miles on the clock will give more bhp than a car with 80,000 miles. So we cant give definite quotes, but your def get an improvement. Have a look at the RS tuning thread , you get an idea of the gains from Up Rev remap ( reflash).

Gains; should give a better spread of mid range torque , increase of top end BHP , better throttle response and a few hundred more rpm at the top end. Mark

thanks lads/girls. Looks like I will be onto mapping cars late september/early october, so will be in touch with people very soon. Been doing some working out on prices I think the reflashes will be around £345-00 inc vat , this includes a before and after dyno run. This isnt cast in stone yet but a fair price. Extra time on the dyno will be charged at £97-75 inc vat per hour on the dyno ( VAT @ 15%) say if you car needs a little more work as it has a few different mods than what the reflash has been tuned for. can I have some feed back on this please. Mark

Alex,s cracked we think due to the boost being pushed through it, but they are also not that well made , welding of the seams isnt deep enough . But we have also have seen them cracked on N/A cars this was due to vibration.

Cosworth Mnaifold is only good if you want to go over 8000rpm in N/A tune F/I never heard anything yet if they work or not with F/I, Kinetix,s well they make a good door stop.....

no sorry thats only for the girls.....LOL

sounds good , where you based , really need the car for 2 days , can offer a courtesy car to use while we have yours. Mark

is that a 2 x variable cam car or an 1 x variable cam car? Mark

Got as above Haltech Plainum ECU for a 350Z for sale , used on my own car , but as we are now Uprev Dealers it is not used any more. Very good piece of equipment. I would like £500-00 for it if possible , any takers? Mark

GT4 / Rev up models ( 2 x variable cam timing) , I have a car already lined up , it is a car that I have rebuilt the motor on , so we know the car is in A1 condition. Also have a Standard HR engine ( latest model) car lined up so will have a generic map sorted for that soon as well. Finally had time to sit down and have a think , really need a totally STD early car to start with before we move onto what I call Stage 1 mods. So I need a early car (Gen 1 ECU,ed) single variable cam timing 2002/2003 car to tune. I would need the car for around 2/3 days , we can supply a courtesy car for you to use while we are tuning your car. Once we get this sorted I let the tweaked car people know. Mark

I help out with this write up , sure we can all give some good info on what works and what doesnt. Mark

No feedback from anyone if the prices are any good.....

If you want to know , I think Uprev are the people that tuned the Nismo ECU. We have some Nismo maps on the Uprev system. But if it is a Gen 1 ECU it wont allow multi maps , but all Gen 2 allow you to have 4 maps. But you would loose your nismo map , unless we can dump your ECU send it to Uprev they can then patch and then allow us to reload it if needed. But a Nismo map is for 100 octane fuel , not like our parraffin 98 octane. The cars would love to run on some proper octane fuel i know...

Just having a quick bite to eat at my desk , really busy at the moment getting a drag car ready for the weekend. Once I am back in the office next week , I work out what car will work best ( I have a STD car for every other model) but a mildly tuned car will be good. Z fanatic , we just had the patch done for the GT4 cars like yours I hope to tune one within the next 2/3 weeks I let you know how we get on. Dont think we will be able to give you any more revs as the limit on RPM is the alloy valve caps, to many revs can cause these to fail.

Import I presume? can you get me the ecu number , we are working on the de limiter on the JDM car,s at the moment , I have a JDM car that we are trying to sort out the limiter. Will keep you in the know as to speak now who want,s a cheap deal on a remap then , Early UK car with exhaust system, mainfold spacer and air filter kit? Mark

We find the thin oil(cold) is not good with these engines ,the thicker oil helps a little with valve train noise. If you want a 5w oil we can supply without any trouble , but we are happier to use a 10w-40 oil. Mark

Been working out a game plan for the pricing of the Up rev remaps; My thoughts are as follows; On all 350Z car VQ35DE and HR If you car is std or just an exhaust/air filter/ manifold spacer, I am trying to provide a reflash that will tweak the fuel/ignition and cam maps.This will not involve any remapping just a straight up load and a before/after dyno run. Once the Uprev license is uploaded you will be able at a later date have the map tweaked to suit you car or after adding any more mods all the map to be mapped to suit your new mods. would this suit the majority of 350Z owners? I will then be able to provide a Up rev license and mapping service for all other set up,s including APS T/T kits removing the Unichip set up and other N/A and charged set up,s. I am still working on prices thou , I am very busy this week with dyno work as I have been on holiday I hope to have some prices worke dout next week sometime. Mark

Just a little help with your tuning list the Kinetix dont work at all on N/A car ,I have (had) one on my JDM just losses torque and bhp at low rpm and only gives a very small increase at the top end. Motordyne spacer works the best we find. Mark

If you go with a Rev up remap you can turn the error code of for the rear lambda sensors , which is especially good for when you remove the Cats and fit test pipes. Mark
