Any reason?

 

Got the Haltech for the greddy's, that is the only reason. It has been great for me.

 

Yo App... I'm out of town this weekend but I'll get back to you when I get back in town Monday - won't have a chance to get on 350Z or Driver until then.

I'm about to post 450 of all 800 haha, so I've still got a lot more to read!

 

any updates on the end user software?

 

I would expect at least 3 more weeks, maybe more.

 

No rush. I dropped my car off at PF yesterday and even though I told myself the entire drive down to unlicense the car to the cable, I completely forgot. So it will be probably 2 weeks before I can even get that done.

 

To those of you who have shown dyno results:

Seeing as how the ECU takes time to "learn" to hit the targets the Osiris maps set for it, why are you surprised/disappointed when the numbers are comparable between your "tuned" map (which you have been running for a long time) and the "stock" map when you suddenly switch to it while on the dyno and don't give the ECU any time to reach the new targets?

I am willing to bet if you drove around for a few hundred miles in "stock" then were to dyno your car again that it might be a different story.

Either way, the mid-range gains with Osiris are extremely impressive, and I would sacrifice a few HP/TQ top-end to gain 10+HP/TQ over a wide mid-range any day of the week.

 

ok but for some reason my car didnt change from the day i got the dyno on my stock map, to them time i went to dyno again in my tuned map after a few k miles. I think i just need to retune it a bit better.

 

You mean even the stock map amplified the mid-range power? Or are you talking max HP/TQ?

 

i mean my "race map" isnt much different from my stock map in the midrange or topend. the only difference is that im running hella rich in the "race map". it seems as if the "race map" was not tuned well.

 

Wondering if anyone has heard any updates on when the user tunable version of osiris will be released?

 

A lot of people still don't realize this. I've always noticed that the Z is constantly adjusting and re-adjusting to everything I do. From the transmission, to my mods. When I first installed each mod, I didn't immediately feel their effects. After about 4-5 days of driving (100-200 miles), it becomes much more noticeable - to the point that it's obvious. After about 500-600 miles, everything feels like it's clicking with the car - a sharp contrast to how the car felt on the day of installing the part.

 

Tuner?

 

I just sent some log files to Jared.
Maybe he will give me some kind of update. I know there very busy. And I am sure the end user version will be nothing less then top notch.

 

Just a quick FYI, race maps are tuned rich because on the track you don't want to break from accidently running lean or pinging. Race maps aren't designed to run on a daily basis on the street. Fast only wins on the track if you make the entire race

 

That info is Top Secret. No seriously I'd have to hunt you down if you knew.

We've been swamped here guys, we've hired new staff, and bringing them up to pace, trying to work through our backlog of e-mails and making sure everyone gets their questions answered. I know it sounds like excuses but we also seem to be suffering a spat of computer failures (3 of 4 in 2 weeks) and that is slowing the dev process and bug checking on the end user tuning software.

I can't promise a release date and I don't personally feel it's fair to set up expectations that we can't follow through on. What I can say is that we are trying our hardest to make sure things go smoothly and correctly so that you guys get something that is worth the wait.

Pile on the questions and let me see if I can answer them. I'll be spending some time next week trying to go through this thread and answer what I can answer, and thanks for all your support.

Typical programmers. Geniuses with code, but bloody useless with the hardware they use...

Good to hear from you guys.

 

Good explanation. You guys also have to realize that a dyno isn't the most accurate tool on the planet. Each dyno shows different results, ours always seems to register fairly high numbers, even after detailed setup and double checking, some dynos only show half the power ours shows on the exact same vehicle. Another thing is if you check the manufacturers information, most dynos are running a tolerance of as much as 10% or more. Meaning from run to run you can vary from 300hp to 330hp with nothing changed on the car at all.

There are some dynos out there like the DynaPack system that are hub dynos and are like 1-2% tolerance and are good for back to back numbers, but those are rather expensive. Most roller dynos can vary even farther than 10% if you remove the car and put it back on the roller, based on tire friction and how tight the straps are, they also don't account for tire slippage etc (anyone remember the Supra dynos that show a break in the space-time continuum?)

Dyno testing is just that, testing, they are not scientific measurement instruments. If you use a dyno as a tool, they are amazingly useful, but they aren't very good at proving power gains unless you're making wide range gains. They do a great job of showing us details we wouldn't get otherwise when we're testing new tunes and tuning cars here at the shop, we wouldn't be able to do what we do without one.

 

You have no idea

 

Have you contact Jared yet? If not please do so he can check things out, the more info we have the better we become.

Also so that other people know, if we do a custom tune here at the shop you're paying for the tune, not for the hardware/software. The only reason we make the hardware/software combo is for people that want to do a basic flash tune, or aren't near an Uprev Pro Tuner. If you wanted to get Cipher so that you can log info and reset codes let us know and we'll see what we can do on a Cipher kit for you.
