niz Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Being in Northern Ireland tuning options are limited. There is an Uprev agent 150 miles away in the Republic of Ireland, however there is also a non Uprev tuner who are reasonably local who also say they can tune the 350z. They aren't any cheaper (but will save me a day and a 300 mile round trip) but don't seem to be using Uprev, Is this possible ? Is this a case of somehow hacking before tuning? I thought the only route here was Uprev. The tuner in question is these guys http://www.auto-tune.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No their website isn't up to date. They say they can remap the car on the dyno for £480 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyflo Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 It can be done without up rev, I've been offered a map by a company that's not uprev. I think he said he would literally take the Ecu apart and bench write to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niz Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Yes they say they do it directly on the circuit board - sounds a little worrying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I would ask them exactly what parameters they change, as there is more than one way to achieve a quick power gain, personally at that price I would be doing the miles for a known Uprev tuner.

delz0r Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Take the trip to TDP at least you know they're a proper uprev tuner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I wouldnt touch them with a barge pole ! Next week Horsham Developments is mapping a car that a customer is bringing down from Scotland, a good mapper is worth travelling to!

ianphampton Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I used to drive 250 miles each way from Manchester to Abbey in Surrey and was happy to do it, for the confidence in using someone who really knows what they're doing If the local tuner has his hands right into your ECU then it's a bit of a risk if anything goes awry - and a new ECU would cost you a fair bit more than a 300 mile trip . . . . . . .

WilhelmZ33 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Does anyone know somewhere in Northern Ireland to get a uprev remap? Done some stuff to the car so I need it and have tried the places I would've normally used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
