Ok guys~ now i have a brand new utec in my hand but the problem is it seems sososo hard to find a tuner knows about utec here...so whats in my mind is sell the utec and get e manage blue or E utimate .... im staying NA...
got most of bolt ons....
whats in the car: 5/16" md spacer , mrev2 , alphawerks headers, kinetix rs. test pipes, hks hi ti exhuast , gruppe M intake ..... what should i do ...i do have a friend has a tuned map for NA Utec can be upload into mine...
but would it be better to get the blue or eu to get a real tune ??? please help me decide which i should get or i should just take my frd's map ...
so please help me .... anything would be better than nothing ...thx

 

anyone ???
i know that utec is the best and Eu is a better one to go but im just wondering that hows e Blue.......cuz in my case i dont really track the car or racing ...i just want my z to be smoother and put the most power out as possible whenever need it ....would e blue do the job for me or EU will be the best to go .... but once again i dont track or race ..
anyone with e blue running on NA??? and hows it ...

 

It's actually pretty easy to tune a UTEC. Your friend's UTEC map would be useless to you, as every car is different. With Cipher software you can log A/F ratio through your factory wideband O2 sensors, then tweak your UTEC to get 13:1 A/F ratio.

For timing, log your stock timing with UTEC, then bump it ~2 degrees across the board.

That should result in a simple, yet effective, street tune.

 

It would help if we knew your location, we may be able to recommend a shop to tune for you. Also, if your friend has a UTEC map, where did he get tuned? UTEC is very simple to mess with, any competent Greddy EM/EMU tuner should have no issues with it...

 

im in vancouver .
my friend bought his used utec tuned for na already .
yeah ~ i dont think theres a tuner here within hours of driving , so ...
any help or suggest would be great....
still thinking about the e blue or EU...

 

If you sell the UTEC let me know. I am looking to get one.

 

i will let you know ~~ but really need some help here ...if i should go with eu or keep the utec.... if im getting the eu i could have proper tune for sure but if i keep the utec im not sure if i can have it tune nicely 100%...what would you do ....

 

Keep the utec, tuning either one is pretty much the same. I am just going the other way from an EU to the UTEC. I like the idea of having total control of the air fuel and timing vs adding and subtracting from what the stock computer puts out like the EU.

 

i dont think anyone where me and him are from (vancouver canada) have ever tuned with UTEC
theres a guy with 500hp on his greddy TT and hes still using the EU cause noone "apparently" is capable of messing with the UTEC
my suggestion to u fairlady(op) is to just get the EU since itll be a lot easier to tune, u wont get max HP out of it, but atleast ull be tuned, ur car is N/A so i dont think it will be that big of a deal IMHO

im sure there are people in BC that can tune with UTEC cause i think subaru guys have done it in BC but they are like pretty far and yea like u said it might not be worth the drive for an N/A tune...

p.s. SELL ME UR SPACER LE~ LOL

 

so eu is what i should get ...hmm...

 

just wondering if a tuner can tune emanage then he should be able to tune utec right ??

 

I'm from Vancouver, BC as well... I have a Greddy TT setup + UTEC. Tuning with UTEC isn't that bad... once you get used to it. I find using the UTI Datalogger also makes reading the maps a little easier - http://www.jeffsoftware.com/software.php?product=UTI

Check out Rocket Rally Racing (http://www.rocketrally.com/). Talk to Jamie Slater. The shop is located in Squamish, BC.

The only reason why I haven't brought my car up to them is that I my attempt to self-tune has been successful (so far ).
