Basically in a quick explanation, they program your ECU and tune your car with your stock ECU and you can have up to 5 maps where you can easily switch between them with the cruise control buttons. No need to crack the ECU open for this like Technosquare, etc. Also for FI applications, no need for added management devices, UPREV can do it all with the ECU. Also any mods you do, you take a data log on your laptop with their software, send it to them, they adjust the program and send it back to you and all you have to do is upload the new update and your ecu is now updated for the new mods.

Maps can be like this or however you want:

Stock
93 Octane Performance
87 Octane
Valet
Economy (for gas mileage)
Sounds promising with some awsome features. Can't wait to see the results Do you think that your horespower gains won't be as significant becaseu their isn't much correction for the ECU to make since thier are no changes to air flow that comes with exhaust and intake and such?

Not sure. I wanted to see what we could do on a basically stock car. Then I can start doing the mods. I am pretty sure they can at least get near 15 rwhp out of the car even being stock. On the DE engines they have shown this.

Just to update. I just talked to Richard at UPREV, and they are working through it and should get it on the Dyno as soon as Today possibly to start testing the car to see how it is running and the final pull should be done on Friday. They are expecting some pretty substantial gains from the HR he said. So I can't wait to see what they get!

How is he going to pull power out of a stock car? I mean if there is some kind of hidden power, why didn't the Nissan engineers utilize it?

Adding more fuel or something to make more power? I don't get it..

Basically if you remember seeing a dyno curve on the Z, they are jagged. They smooth that out which gives the car more power but also tune it for 93 octane and not 91. Also many other tricks they do increase the power. Just like any ECU it will give power over stock to any car.

With Cobb you can't tune it yourself, with UPREV you can.

I have an UpRev Osiris reflash but with the older DE motor. There's other little tricks that they pull out of their sleeve even with a stock motor. See below.

All I do know is thats what Nissan does to all their vehicles.

I heard about this... It makes sense if you want to keep a fool from losing control of the car while launching it. It's kind of a passive traction control device that you can't turn off... Well until now anyway.

My Saturn Vue has the same feature... But in its case, GM did it to keep the owners from snapping the rear all wheel drive differential. The V6 had too much torque on tap to keep the RDM from blowing up on hard acceleration.

I'm really looking forward to the Osiris release, but I'm afraid they are going to take a while to release maps for exhaust and intake mods. Due to his current stock form, SOLO's final map will not produce the optimal power for a modded HR. What we need is more participants with various mods getting involved.

Actually that is where you are wrong. With UPREV software, when you get a new mod, you do a few 0-60 runs recording it, send them the data, they adjust your tune to meet the new a/f your car is seeing and send you the update which then you send to your cars ECU. Done, ECU tuned for Exhaust. They need a stock car to really produce the map first, then they start adding from there. All mods act differently, reason why you must record, send, return and update.

I don't like the idea of sending in ECU's and tuning them according to 0-60 times..

I doubt it would be an accurate tune..

You don't actuallly send your (physical) ECU, you record data from certain sensors with Cipher and email it to them. That's the beauty of Osiris, no need to send out your ecu, you do the actual reflash with your laptop.

When I did my datalogs, I didn't know of the 0-60 data requirement. I ended up doing some long pulls in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear. I emailed and asked if that was OK and they said it was fine.

UpRev is fully capable of that feature so I don't see why they wouldn't.

I have a general question about email retunes if anyone can shed some light on it. What I'm curious about is, how aggressive do they tune it when you send them the data? I'm thinking one can only do so much with just an A/F and timing curve, without having the actual vehicle to monitor anything that the car might not like. Let's say the tune they resend you causes knock, do you email them another log for another retune to resolve the issue, or do they simply tune on the conservative side to prevent that type of problem?
