sregorn Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Just picked up my 350 from Abbey today and drove home to Devon with a big smile on my face , they have done a fantastic job with the uprev , car feels very smooth and more responsive. Great job thanks. Quote
glrnet Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Did you have anything else done while you were there? Quote
sregorn Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 They had to send the ECU to America for a reflash after my local garage corrupted it when they cleaned the throttle bodies , so I had the uprev at the same time .If I lived closer I would use Abbey for all my work. Quote
GMballistic Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Always nice to get the Zed back better than it was when you left it at a garage, ...glad you're enjoying the Zed with it's UpRev. Quote

Thats interesting, what make is your ECU, why America? Sent from my Zed using Nangkang tyres front, RE040's rear Quote

sregorn Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 Don't know what make the ECU is but the car is a 313 HR and Abbey Motorsport sorted it out so I let them get on with it out as they know what they are doing. Quote
glrnet Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Fair enough, I've just never heard of an ECU being sent to America to be reflashed. It might be something to do with the HR but an ECU reset normally sorts most things out. I'm sure Abbey will be along at some point to let us know😀 Sent from my Zed using Nangkang tyres front, RE040's rear Quote
flyboy Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Maybe had to get a new flash from uprev? if Abbey hadn't got one for that ECU. Normally done by email though. Quote
glrnet Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Must admit to being a bit puzzled as I thought Uprev released software for each type of ECU, I'm sure I read this somewhere on here Quote
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Ecu has been damaged due to a garage cleaning the throttle bodies (opening the Throttle plate) without disconnecting the battery and disconnecting the ECU. The causes a feedback that corrupts the Idle calibration that is held in another EPROM that can't be re flashed using Uprev software. Idle EPROM is reflashed to allow the idle control to work correctly. Happy customer, we also have sorted out what causes the HR hesitation and using the excellent Uprev software we tune around this issue. So please don't clean the throttle bodies on your HR or VHR without disconnecting the battery and Ecu. Pleased we have another happy customer with a NA Zed tuned on Uprev.

glrnet Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Thanks Mark, I'll make this a sticky. As you know I don't have an HR so was unaware regarding battery AND ECU disconnection, useful info for HR owners though. Quote
glrnet Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Can't make this a sticky from the iPad, will another mod do the honours please? Quote
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Thanks Graham. We get most of these jobs from garages that are servicing these cars. Quote
sregorn Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 Been out in the car again today after a wash and polish and it is so much better to drive and no sign of the throttle hesitation so once again thank you Abbey Motorsport. Quote
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks again for the feedback. Pleased the Uprev software and the Abbey calibration has made your car a better drive. Mark Quote
sipar69 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Hey Mark Thanks to you and your significant other for looking after us today. I will post a proper write-up about the uprev tomorrow but suffice to say that the car feels much 'healthier' and very perky after the uprev. Don't know if it's because I have the HFCs this time, but I can feel the difference more than when I had the uprev on my previous Z. 1 Quote
BobbyZ Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Another happy customer here... thanks for the great tune Mark 19 extra HP, good and consistent throttle response (cured the hesitation) and very amusing pops and bangs on the overrun Unfortunately Mark is now so good at these that he finished before I could get back to shoot a video...

Corrupted the ECU from cleaning the throttle body? how does that even happen? Quote
