Default Greddy owners, good news!

We have been testing a new map out on a Greddy equipped vehicle and things are going great. To make it short, we have taken out the E-manage and have done a reflash to the ECU to control timing AND fuel. Yup! We can control the 440cc injectors (or bigger) from RC now and are looking for some volunteers to test out the new map. So far, I have been using my personal vehicle for the test and have not encountered any pinging and it is running much stronger at 5.5psi than it was with the E-manage. Please, email me questions at Brian@TechnoSquareinc.com or you can post them here. You can also reach me during business hours Mon-Fri at (310) 787.0847 or on AIM. Until testing is done, prices are uncertain. Have a good weekend!

Welcome to the boards! Any plans are cracking the ECU open so we can tune it ourselves? I can't see myself sending in my ECU every time I do a new mod. Is that really cost effective and less time consuming?

I just sent this to you in email but thought others might also be interested in your response....

I have an Infiniti G35 and I've sent my 2004 ECU into you guys twice now.
The first time was for the L-spec reflash and the second time was for the PE
TT kit. I'm currently working on having my motor rebuilt and plan to use RC
650 injectors. I would LOVE to be a candidate for your testing.

One question, does your program have the ability to prevent the LIMP mode
problem that occurs when the MAF maxes out before the RPMs reach 4200 rpms
(or whatever it is)? That's the main reason I installed the eManage--to
clamp the MAF voltage--but I would sure love to ditch eManage altogether.

Thanks for the greetings guys!
nitrous350 - The APS kit actually uses a piggyback system with their own kit. So far, it looks like a great kit and we have no plans on making a reflash available for it yet unless demand is there. We will do custom jobs if asked though.
basam350z - We do sell the hardware and the software for you to reflash your own ECU's. Unfortunately, it is not a cheap option.
zimbo - I will respond to your email Monday early morning.

I just received the Greddy flash today. I sent in my ECU Just for the Timing retard and was going to use the emanage for fuel maps. They called me and let me know that they could now control the RC injectors and had a "Greddy" map.

I installed the ECU and cleared the emanage values. the car started right up and idled fine. The warm idle is now 720 (up 100rpm from stock). Also the throttle response is better now. The A/F seems slightly leaner in the mid-range under part throttle boost. Under full boost (5.5psi) The A/F seems similar to the Greddy map.

I only had a few hard pulls on it so far. I'll more closely compare the A/F's later. It feels to pull harder at the same boost. I have dynoed 2 separate sessions before with the same set up with out the flash. The lowest was 359.7rwhp and the highest was 362.0rwhp. So the set up was pretty consistent. I'll dyno again this week to get hard numbers. Then up the boost.

Glad to know things are going well Gary. Keep me updated and I'll do the same with you if we have any new settings!

How does the reflash work with higher boost? Is it only for stock boost?

We are going to move the MAF from the typical TT kit location to right behind the drivers side inatke filter. The idea being that the air being metered is now un-heated and un-compressed and half of the total volume of air thereby reducing the likelyhood of maxing out the voltage.

Obviously since only half of the air is being metered there are some tricks that have to be played with the injector values (x2) so that you are getting the right A/F mixture. This has long been the sollution on the Z32 when a dual intake is required, usually for anything over 500rwhp.

I emailed Technosquare about our plans weeks ago but they never responded. Kenji at GReddy has been helping us out. Will post when we get some results with it.

it's an option i'm definitely willing to take if you are able to tune it fully yourself..

Is it simliar to the do it yourself tuning software by www.hondata.com for hondas?

any prices available?

It's more like Mail in flash for Evo8. Hondata is considered full standalone ecu.

You could program it yourself, but the real problem for the average tuner is cracking the ECU. Knowing what you are changing is a problem until you understand where everything is in the ECU and what its for. If you think about this post even, they have just now figured out how to control the injectors after 2+ years of hacking. Unless you have that kind of skill, the programmer would turn into an expensive paperweight. Or at the very least requires months of your time to figure it all out. It think the Techtom unit is $5000. I doubt they'd give you that hard earned information because it separates them from other tuning shops with the Techtom.

exactly..the price for the software is higher than nearly every full standalone out there. The data it gives you is also very complex and basically looks like randowm numbers in a series of charts - it is not desinged as a GUI, or for the end user - it was desinged to be offered to a tuning shop.

question a little off topic but your reflash for the Turbonetics kit can handle more mod on the Z (like the ones in my sig. except the Nitrous kit of corse)

thanks in advance!

Since you can now control the RC 440's , will you be offering it with the ATI reflash ? I am running a 9# pulley and planned on getting the ATI reflash from you and running an emanage to scale your 380cc flash with it.

If you can flash for the 440's now, I can eliminate the emanage all together. Please let me know, I want to get this done ASAP.
