I've got a 2005 287bhp 350z (non-revup). My current mods are Nismo cat back (including Nismo Y-pipe) and MD 5/16" plenum spacer and drop in panel filter. I'm having the Uprev remap in a couple of weeks. I've searched the threads on here but can't find a definitive answer to my question. Has anyone had an Uprev remap with similar basic bolt-on mods to mine on their 287bhp car and what kind of power increase can I expect to see after the Uprev?
And in the future if I decide to fit test pipes what extra difference to power would test pipes make with my other mods and a further Uprev remap (would it only be 5 bhp at most) and would there be a small loss in torque low down the revs even after the remap? The one thing I really like about the 350z is the instant urge from as low as 1500-3000 revs. I don't want to lose this. Thanks for any info.

i know this is for FI but dude research!!!
also. remap dont you mean retune. I recommend getting all your bolts on done before a retune! from the mods you got maybe 250hp to the wheels! (correct me if im wrong )

Thanks for your reply. Yes meant re-tune. Over here in the UK we also call it a remap / re-flash sorry. Yes I'm hoping for 240-250 whp with my cat back, MD spacer, panel filter and Uprev but any before and after gains is all I'm hoping for, even without the re-tune the Nismo and spacer definitely feel as though they have added more mid-range urge. I'm assuming test pipes on top (with additional re-tune) would add around another 6-10whp. Like the clip

I also think you should tune after you buy the bulk of your parts. Something like a test pipe will change the tune and it will be money wasted if done too early. Ultimately, its up to you just know most items you change will change the tune you get from Uprev. I'm not sure if they offer a re-tune at a discounted rate but it still sux to pay for something twice.

I agree with the guys here. You should wait until your bolt ons is complete. After that get a good tuner to dyno tune and reflash with the Osiris. On your car you should see anywhere from 15-20 extra rwhp. Be carefull and enjoy. If you have anymore questions about the tune feel free to ask.

I talked with the nearest Osiris tuner (6 hours away) They said it would be a total of 850.00 for the standard and dyno/tuning time. Looking at the mods in my signiture do you guys feel I would gain much from a tune?
I also could add a wideband to my 04 then go the etune route but I dont know what the best cost effective option would be.

I'm sure there is something on the table, probably a little lean (moving air through the system better than base map would expect). If I remember right gains for the DE dyno tune should range around 8-13 whp but also make the car a lot more responsive through the band.

yeh, $850 seems a bit high IMO. Just came back from a tuner shop in NC to get my buddies wrx tuned after he went with a vf43 upgrade and only got charged about $360. The guy charged my friend for 2 hours, despite spending extra time trying to find a boost leak.
Every shop will vary so I would def call other places that support Osiris.

Get Osiris and do the e-tune service for $50. You'll get largely the same gains as you would from a dyno tune. People who have had their cars e-tuned and then dyno tuned only picked up an additional 2-3WHP with the dyno tuning, which you can likely pick up if you ask Osiris to do another e-tune. And that goes to show you just got great the e-tune is.
