Default Did TurboXS disown the 350z UTEC?

Hey all! First time post, long time browser. I checked TurboXS' website today to see if there were any map updates posted, and the bookmark I had saved is no longer valid. They appear to have updated their entire site, but I can't seem to find the UTEC section for our Z.. This is the old link : http://www.turboxs.com/utec350zupdate.htm

Doesn't help much, but I'm nearing the final stages of my Greddy TT install on my '03 enthusiast (engine-in install, ow knuckles), and I have to start thinking about tuning.. The UTEC is already in and updated to the most recent software, but is that it for us lowly UTEC owners who haven't swapped over to OSIRIS yet??

It looks like they eliminated all of the EMS not just the Z.
I have a Genesis Coupe and in the GC forums they are active and are about to start offering flash devices.
What size of injectors you will use?

You'd think they could at least still have the utec maps on the web page for people that may need them, it's not like it would be hard to leave them there and just not sell the product any more.

Damn that sucks. So is there still tuner support for this? I'm in the process of finalizing a deal to trade my Hydra ems for a utec.

Is that why there's been lots of UTECs for sale?

Crap.... I should have put my base map on my UTEC sooner... I was going to do it in the spring when I start the build

Anybody have a good base map for a Vortech with 600cc injectors they can send me?

Not for 600cc but close enough to start up and get to a tuner.
I used these and had no issue.
The map you can loaded directly the parameters you will have to do it by hand but the mayority remain from the NA parameters, be carefull to change each one however.

Thanks for posting those! I'm in the same boat as the other guy. Should have downloaded the basemap sooner. I'll be putting 750cc's in with my Vortech kit and 2.87 pulley this spring and had planned to use their 750cc greddy twin map

Too bad...it's by far the safest and most advanced option for 350z FI aside from a full standalone..and the prices have really dropped...glad I sold mine a year ago, I bet they are hard to sell now.

this is interesting... there should still be plenty of tuner support, i just had mine retuned, not even two weeks ago and about a month ago i pulled the base map for the TT with 750 injectors off the site... it looks like they are doing a major over haul on the site....

+1 not the end of the world.
I’ll have mine as long as it works. The only thing is going to happen is if it is damaged, I’ll have to buy a used one or go to another EMS.
Mine is been working good for 5 years.

So has anybody confirmed the lack of support by talking to them or is this all just speculation?

Sorry for the delay, I've been busy as hell the past couple days. I took a copy of most of the maps on TXS' site before they changed, I'll post what I've got. All the maps are unmolested and straight from the site. You guys know the deal though, be careful running these maps in your car, as they're just a base starting point, not a finished product O.o

Hope these help someone!

I've got just the factory Greddy kit with the RC 440 injectors, so my plan is to use one of the 550 or 600cc maps and just tune it down. I'm shooting for steady AFR over max. power. Maximum reliability (<-- hopes) ftw!

I'm keeping the UTEC anyways.. I like the concept, it's fairly user friendly, and oh.. it's already installed
