I Know There Is Tons Of Threads About This And I Did Search But I Was Just Wondering What People Are Seeing Hp Wise On Dyno Or Seat Of Pants With The Utec On A Na.

 

Depends on mods,car,tune,many factors..The UTEC itself allows you to tune your vehicle for your mods..

 

just wondering if it was worth the grand. i'll prob go for the mod so everything will be in tune im still thinking about going with the throttle body so i dont have to reprogram it latter. i think with the mods i got i hope to get around 15 whp.

 

15whp is reasonable..The Throttle body mod is debatable..IMO

 

Yeah i wanted to do as much as possible befor i install the utec i think if anything i will port my own throttle body but dont think theres much power to be found there might not be worth the time.

 

if you plan on leaving your car somewhat stock then dont get it, but if you plan FI or a built NA. or even just building it up a decent amount, then get it. Utec is stupid for TB,intake,exhaust.

 

I beg to differ.There is about 10 hp to be unleashed on a stock car itself..

 

I agree that the UTEC is one of the best ECU options out right now, but at $1G+ thats a lot for your average home wrench turner to spend for 10hp. although I guess hp in general is pretty expensive on a VQ.

 

>There is about 10 hp to be unleashed on a stock car itself..

$90/HP is silly considering UTEC is a basic computer.
When someone offers EMCPiggyBack for $300 everyone will buy it.

 

Thats pretty good considering the amount of money people are putting into exhaust systems. 10hp for 1000 bucks is not bad IMO. And the Utecs are actaully going for $845 now.

 

But people will pay 1/3 rd of the cost of a UTEC for a CAI that actually looses power...

 

not only does it give you power, you can also increase the redline. having more room to play with is important to a lot of people.

and most of the exhausts for a z run close to 900. and ive yet to see one that gains more than ~11whp.

 

yeah i might as well go for it just another part in a long list i get to mark off with the sense of mind that is under the hood and i'm one step closer to going fi.

 

I gained 14whp w/ UTEC after tuning.

I'm going FI in the near future, so adding UTEC was a no brainer.

 

where would be the best place to get one

 

pick a vendor. MRC, Z1, Sharif. whoever you like the most, and can give you a good price.

 

We stock the UTECS at great prices..

 

is the greddy version a little easier to use and have the same gains.

For those with only N/A on the horizon, UTEC is overpriced with a lousy user interface. The EM market potential is huge so eventually a Manufacturer will address it. I can't wait for that.

 

So if you already have a reflash ( AAM ) and your NA is there any reason to buy the Utec other than the possibilty of going FI?
