andyvvc Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Paul at RS Tuning had the car on the rollers this afternoon to sort out the Up-Rev ECU tune. Sadly i dont have a scanner to show the graphs, but the basics ended up as: Standard Torque - 250lb ft from 2500rpm thru to 5500rpm (fluctuated a little) WHP - 230bhp (peak - and it was a wierd peak at 6500rpm, 500rpm either side it was down at 225bhp Fly - 283 (again with the odd blip at 6500rpm) otherwise peaks at 275bhp UpRev - (13th power run) Torque - 270lb ft from 2500rpm thru to 5500rpm (fluctuating a little) WHP - 241bhp with a much flatter peak across 6000 - 6500rpm Fly - 293bhp with a much flatter peak across 6000 - 6500rpm So the gains are in line with what the UpRev is said to deliver, whether my other mods help or hinder it im not certain. I guess on the rollers the K&N Typhoon is probably going to struggle even with the gargantuan fans that RS Tuning have! Air/fuel mix was the more sinister element - noticably running lean beyond 4500rpm. Paul managed to tidy this up loads, with the AFM line now a nice, almost flat line from 3000rpm to 6500rpm. The results were most apparent on the road. The car now has an eagerness to pull that it didnt have before (and i thought it was fine previously!). 2nd gear at 3000rpm now unleases over 260lb ft torque which grows a little towards 270+ around 4500rpm. Even higher gears seem to want to pull quicker than before, with sharper throttle response across the board. Knowing that the car is fuelling better above 4500rpm is also comforting ! Given that she has 105000 miles on the clock now, i think these are impressive before AND after results. I'll get the print-outs scanned and uploaded here or in the rolling-road results section next week once i have access to a scanner. Paul said that the UpRev basically ends up with him changing my base map on the cars ECU, and that unless Nissan re-flash it, this it what it will always be running from now on. Im not certain if an ECU reset would ever be needed ever again (i need to ask RS or Abbey i guess) but doing so wont reset the settings to factory, instead anything the ECU has 'learnt' since the UpRev will revert back to Paul's map if i do an ECU reset in the future. 460 quid well spent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Is £460 a good price then ? My mates are going to www.p-torque.co.uk , one has a bmw and one has a boxster and they have both been quoted £250... It seems a big price difference and the guy who owns the bmw was quoted £465 from RS for the same thing.. I know its good to go to 350z specialist but i dont know why the price is so steep compared to others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Most remaps are generic and therefore quite cheap. With uprev you have to buy a liensce which is about 100 odd quid and then it's mapped to suit the car. E,g they will run it on the dyno then change this and that which is custom for your car.

MattMe Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 It is a lot, but I suppose if you compare it to how much people spend on mods (which then need a re-map to make them worthwhile) it's actually quite good value. Does it improve MPG? I think that's the main reason I'd go for one tbh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say it should, would burn fuel more efficiently... but but but... you might get heavier on the pedal Ive saved my tuning monies on petrol already on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Had mine done at Abbey yesterday and paid £393.63 INC Vat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieB Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 on the results andyvvc. I will be speaking to RS and booking my '04 in with them once I buy & fit a couple of parts. I'm not worried about the numbers too much as all the reviews say that once it has been re-mapped it feels a so much more a responsive car to drive anyways......but more is always better!
