The good thing about this thread is that Aceman got his answer about a new UTEC GUI.. We all knew there was talk about it but nobody has seen it.. Now that Shariff has we all know its 100% and coming soon..

I to would like to know if it is an upgrade in $$ or what..?? That is a great question..

 

any idea of the resolution Sharif?

 

The best part will be on-the-fly changes IMO if hyperterminal had at least that, it would be a big improvement...

 

True, true

So whats your plan

Later
Aceman

 

We'll talk, after the new GUI comes out and a couple people review it

 

thats great news.

 

I didnt get a chance to stop by TXS's booth again today (Thursday). I spent quite a bit of time at the APS and ATS/Carbonetic booth, and just got too involved to make another pass at TXS. If you guys have been to SEMA before, you know what I mean. It is a total zoo, and its very easy to get disoriented.

I will stop by tomorrow, and snap those screen shots. And I will count the resolution of the map.

In regards to processing speed, there are two factors to consider. One is the raw processing speed of the ECU, usually measured in hertz. The second is the sampling rate of the data aquisition (user interface). I really dont know how the UTEC will perform, in either task, but I am sure they are working on it.

 

" sampling rate of the data aquisition " you can speed up the serial por connection of use USB 2.0 for fast transfer of data.... since all the info will rpboable come in a asci format it will be simple easy and fast to transfer from teh progrma to the utec.... hertz.... if anybody can tell me waht the speed of the processor on the utec is it whousld be easy to tell what it can handle...
a lot of the ram that was needed to support the program in the hiperterminal(inside utec) wont be needed since all that "load" of processing will be in the program in the pC, there jsut needs to be crisp crisp crisp comunication between the utec and the pc.


btw sharif what did you liked the most in the APS and ATS/Carbonetic booth

 

The Carbonetics people were basically annoucing their new brand name. The ATS clutch brand goes away, and now everything is Carbonetic. We'll be updating our website to reflect the changes. They also announced that Forged Performance is one of 12 National Warehouse Distributors for the Carbonetics product line, so we are really excited about that.

At the APS booth, they had all of their kits on display. APS Extreme TT, and Regular TT kits, and they also displayed the C6 kits...very nice stuff. I also finally had the pleasure of meeting both Dave and Peter from APS, and the crew from GRD. It was a proverbial love fest for all!

 

lol, jk


I like the Carbonetics name a lot better =]

"They also announced that Forged Performance is one of 12 National Warehouse Distributors for the Carbonetics product line"

does that mean, unbetable pricing ?

 

Yes, and unbeatable service...as always! People sometimes forget about that part....it not easy making 99% of our customers delighted!!

 

Sharif you are becoming too powerful......you may need to run for president..or open up another shop..hehe

 

Sharif, did you examine the APS TT Extreme kit up close? I'm just wondering if the extreme manifolds can be used with the standard kit.

 

Based on my casual observation, it appears you could use the Extreme Manfiold, and run an external gate setup on the regular twin kit. However, you would need to weld the internal gate shut.

Is this what you had in mind?

 

Yep! That's exactly what I'm thinking. It'd be the mini-extreme APS TT kit.

Thanks for the info Sharif!

 

The current standard TT kits come with the Extreme manifolds and just a plate to plug up the extra port.

 

You're talking about the turbo exhaust housings not the exhaust manifolds right? The manifolds can't be the same since the extreme manifolds have flanges for the external wastegates. If the housings are the same then the standard turbos should bolt up to the extreme exhaust manifolds perfectly.

 

How did we find ourselves off topic?

I wanna know about the UTEC.

 

Ah, those clever engineers at APS thought of everything.

The external gate setup is a remote location, so you CAN use the same manifold for both the extreme and regulat APS TT kits.

 

Pics coming soon..I promise.
