UPDATE PLEASE looking forward to this. if anyone has input for Surratt please let him know.
Thanks

 

According to SurraTT the PnP harnesses are now for sale. Check first post.

The EMU patch, on the other hand...

 

Not according to post #117

 

hah I talked to you on the phone!




not for sale yet.






Guys im workin on this much as i can, within a few weeks i hope to have a FINAL WORD.


On another note, i found a GREAT location to place the UTEC!!!!!

its stealthy, but also accessible!

 

Sweet!!!

 

so whats the word...is it ready yet? jw?

 

Just wanting to let everyone know im still working on this.

 

Yo do you have a estimate when it might be ready

 

I'm in the process of ordering a different type of wire, i believe that is/contributing to the problem.

I should know if the new wire makes any changes in the next month.

 

COME ON MANNNNNN just kiddn

 

he's not kidding, make sure he is the last one to get his harness! lol

 

whats the word

 

if possible you need to post this on every maxima/altima site.

 

I'm a new 2002 Maxima owner so this is prob a dunm question, but here goes. What are the main benifits of running a UTEC on a stock or lightly modified 5.5? My only experience with them is on boosted vehicles where lots of tuning is needed? Can a UTEC also be used to contol the auto trans computer? Thanks for understanding my newbieness

 

surra, since we know the z's use wbO2's stock, like the a34, would it be possible to find the wires for the O2's and somehow connect them to an aftermarket WBO2 and have the utec log the afr from there? Im not sure how much of the info you have about the utec beyond the wiring setup, but im just hoping that you might have some info on that

 

Any new word on when this is available?

and I want to use the UTEC on my automatic 5.5 gen, but is that possible? Looked into getting technosquare to do my ECU but they don't mess with automatics.

 

I can't tell you when it will be ready, but I can tell you that the connectors he has had made are first class. They fit perfectly into the stock connectors

 

I have seen the harness Surratt makes and yes they are nice I cant wait to get one should be the first

 

I heard they were still doing autos

 

UTEC should work on autos. I don't see why it wouldn't.

 

same thing with the TS ECU. our ECU is pretty much separate from the auto trans control. When you wire up the ECU, you definitely dont use any wires that are related to the trans in any way except for inputs the trans uses for shifting, but those are just tapped and go unchanged

 

If you go with a TS Reflash on an auto you have to manually shift it to benefit from it! If not the trans ecu will still shift at it programmed shift points....

 

^unless you do the SSV4

 

Update on PNP??

 

More extensive testing is currently underway.

Still trying to get a final prototype made.



It wont be too much longer, Ive put a lot of R&D into this harness THIS will be TOP QUALITY when its all said and done.

 

First Post updated

 

bump!...any progress man? jw. happy new year btw

 

bump

 

What's the deal on this?

 

+1


I would like to get one when ready.

 

does surra or anybody that knows him have ANYTHING for us? i thought he was really close to having this thing done

 

I have made several testing harnesses. They aren't just want im wanting, the UTEC and 5.5 maxima are so quirky together. Thats why its taking so long, Its coming to a decision to pass ALL wires thorough the UTEC. That would about double the harness price. Which is why im trying just to pass a select few wires thorough the UTEC, to keep the harness at a reasonable price.

 

Quirky is a really nice way to put it. I get annoyed with mine on a regular basis... Oh well, it's basically the only tuning option below 1G which allows user adjustment.

 

Ya, the UTEC has SO MUCH potential that's just DEAD, i mean updated 4 YEARS AGO

 

anything new?

 

I'm lost too... i don't fully understand the benies of this on a lightly modded car either.

Quick explaination anyone? thx...

 

I currently am testing different variations of this harness currently in 3 Maximas.

over the next few weeks im hoping to be finalizing the smaller details, then going to test on a few more maximas soon, then ill do a big update on this thread after all that.

What is the exact reason for testing though? Is there issues with running a utec on a 5.5 gen?

 

There are a few, im mostly testing out the most economical harness design. But also some UTECs have different issues, like misfiring while the utec is exposed to cold temps, like overnight in the winter. Then when the utec warms up inside the car the misfires go away. If i wasn't testing this in depth, i would not of known about these issues in cold temps. That's another reason this is taking so long.
