Is anyone running a Z with a utec and nitrous? How are your results?

Thanks!

really interested guys, thanks and please keep me updated! Just curious I understand that it can have multiple maps which would be nice for nitrous, I am just curious as to the advantages of this over something like a maximizer or similar nitrous-only controller

Waiting on my UTEC to arrive. I have heard good things, and supposedly the UTEC can do alot with a shot, so we will see!

Can progressive or dual stage N2O be set up and controlled by UTEC?
It might, after all it have 3 solenoid outputs. Thanks

but according to the NX website the maximizer has 2 outputs for ignition retard, but AFR would be a deffinate benefit... not sure if it worth that much though when I could mate the maximizer with emanage/unichip/etc.

I could be reading the website wrong though, perhaps the output doesn't actually change timing and you need some secondary unit? I dunno

The Maximizer does have the outputs to send to a seperate unit to pull timing. It also allows you to hook up a FJO AFR kit which will kill the nitrous if your AF goes above a preset AF ratio.

I as well am interested on how much of a benifit the Utec would be. I am currently in the process of switching to a higher compression setup and feel that some good tuning is going to be key to survival, forged or not forged

What are you going up to? 11:1 or 11.5:1? I have also considered going to a higher compression, but I was thinking of waiting until I at least got some internals, I don't know that you coul get a higher shot, even with the better ratio without new rods at least (again imho the biggest weak point in our engines atm)? I will be intrested to see how it works, as my plan is awhile off still. Are you still going to run 93 at your higher ratio also? Very intrested to hear about your results!!

I will continue to use 93 pump fuel when on the motor alone in addition to colder plugs. I am currently running two-step colder iridiums on my stock compression and think that that may be good enough for the 11 to 1 pistons I am installing.

We begin tearing her down as soon as my pistons rods and cams get in next week. I`ll keep you posted, but you can count on the fact that this setup is going to yield more power with less of a shot.

Awesome, I cant wait to hear about it! Take lots of pics too!

As for the shot size, are you actually considering goin down? Or just for street applications, and go with the larger shot (ie 200+) on the strip with race fuel?

I am VERY interested in this. If it can control nitrous, then that's 500 bucks I can throw towards a UTEC!

Spare Solenoid Drivers- Allow you to activate devices in a 3D map like Water Injection, Nitrous, Water Sprayer etc.

yeah, but can it handle progressive shots? TPS and RPM window switches? If so it could replace a traditional controller, saving us some dough since we would no longer need a controler and a piggyback

But when you say "3D Map" does that mean that it can "ramp up" the shot according to what rpm and gear? That is the main point of buying the maximizer for me.

From what I understand of the utec, it can work like most other progressive systems. I will know more when mine finally arrives (gets into Intense on Tuesday, to turn around and ship it out to me).

I have 5 on the shelf, I could have got you one next day aired..lol
I think it just turns on or off a spare selenoid for the N20, not really progressive..Ill check with Jermaine on Monday..
