Best decision I've ever made!


Recommended Posts

Haha well I've been looking for one for a while... I travelled up and down the country looking... I did 600 miles one Sunday. :-/

It's a 54 plate

Burnt orange

Pretty standard really apart from the vented and grooved discs. Stops like a right trooper!

I'm not too sure where to start to mod? Probably exhaust and air intake first!

Any suggestions?

How do I upload pictures on here? I'll gladly upload a picture! I've more pictures of the motor than the mrs on my phone! Ha

Welcome aboard K155CHF. :welcome:

 

 

Mod wise an easy one to start with is a performance panel filter for your air box ~ the exhaust is definitely a good idea but with so many to choose from, different sounds, different looks/styles and prices ranging from £400 odd (Cobra) to well over a £1K it's best to take your time with that decision.

Take a look at the Cougar Store, Tarmac Sportz or similar in the trader section for their latest deals or on their web sites. ;)

 

Picture wise imo it's best to join Photobucket. Free to use & easy to use: http://s273.photobucket.com/

Cheers! An uprev? Can someone explain that? I can get by in the pub talking about cars but when it comes to the technical stuff you'll lose me!

That's why I'm here! :-)

I've heard the sound of the nismo full system on YouTube... That's sexy! :-)

Is it worth getting one of those OBD wifi thingies to pass data to a phone, clear error codes and stuff?

Ok basically an UpRev is just a remap.

 

Horsham Developments is an UpRev authorised Pro Tuner. The UpRev engine management software allows us to fully remap the standard 350Z and 370Z ECU.

We have remapped (aka chip tuned) many 350Zs with great results. You can expect:

  • Better throttle response - the standard ECU reduces throttle response in the lower gears. By tuning the throttle pedal to throttle plate map we can make the car feel more lively. Also, fuel and ignition timing map optimisation is carried out leading to further improvements.
  • More power and more torque - by optimising the various fuelling and ignition timing maps we get the most power and torque from your car
  • Better fuel economy - some customers report better fuel economy after their remap. Obviously this varies quite a bit depending on driving style.
  • Speed and rev limits - we can alter speed and rev limits
  • Removal of check engine light if running with de-cat pipes
  • Multi maps - some cars (dependent on ECU) can have up to 5 ignition, fuel and rev / speed limit maps. This allows, for example, a valet map or a map for high octane fuel

We get good gains from completely standard cars and make the most of cars fitted with aftermarket parts. Check out our engine upgrade packages here.

Take a look in our Facebook gallery for examples and graphs showing our 350Z and 370Z ECU remapping.

We can custom map the ECU for a standard engine or almost any modifications. We have access to the following tables: 350z_mappingthumb.jpg

  • Idle RPM
  • Speed Limiter
  • Electronic Throttle Control to achieve Wide Open Throttle at all speeds
  • Rev Limiter
  • DTC disable
  • AFR Targets
  • Fuel Compensation
  • Ignition Timing Advance
  • Cam Phasing for equipped vehicles
  • MAF transfer function
  • Cranking Enrichment and Ignition Advance
  • Injector Latency
  • K Fuel Multiplier
  • Intake Temp
  • Calculated Load vs. RPM
  • Minimum Effective Injector Pulse Width

The UpRev software is a licenced based system. Once you have bought the software licence we can remap your car as many times as required.

A 350Z or 370Z remap for a normally aspirated car is £399.99 inc VAT, dyno time and Uprev license. If you already have an Uprev license on your ECU mapping is done at a reduced price. Mapping forced induction cars is more time consuming and therefore a little more expensive - ask for a quote

Abbey Motorsport and TDi North are also well respected for their UpRevs on the 350's/370's as well as RS Tuning. :thumbs:

Uprev is the software used to remap the ecu. Basically when you add breathing mods like intakes and exhausts it allows the ecu to utilise these... although you will get minimal power from an exhaust and lose power from an intake. They are worth it from a sound perspective and the remap makes the car more responsive in 1st to 3rd, so still worthwhile.

 

ODB readers are definitely a handy thing to have. You can get them for about £10 from Amazon.

 

You can use Tapatalk (Forum App) to upload pictures from your mobile. Failing that a google+ or photobucket account can be used to upload. :)

 

Edit: GM beat me with much better info on the remap!

Brilliant... So it's better to add the mods I want and then get it remapped? Sounds like a plan to me! :-)

I'd best let my bank know... :-/ ha

Thank you

That's the way to do it. ;)

  • Panel filter/air induction
  • Exhaust/De-CAT's/HFC's (High Flow CAT's)/manifolds
  • Plenum spacer

..and anything else performance wise followed by the UpRev to make it all run nicely & reap the BHP/Torque benefits. B)
