I heard from a reliable source that there is a moded chip manufacturer in Japan and that the chips are available to change the programming so that you can boost HP (at the expense of lower gas mileage).

Anyone know anything about this?

Did someone actually crack our ODBII software?

 

Whats ur source??

 

Tek bought an ECU and tecnosquare sent it to Japan to be reprogramed, is this maybe what you are talking about?

 

How long til he gets it back, J?

 

Ya, im still waiting for the word on the TS flash.

 

RHMax should be testing it this week, it is back...only theig Deus is that Tek bought a 5AT ECU, I was going to test but I have the damn 4AT. So you being 6 speed would have to do the same thing Tek did, read here:

Man im a 6 speed too. Hopefully they can get the figured out soon after the autos.

 

Yea I've heard something like that too
So how is it in real?
Does anyone have any resources for that?

 

How long does it take to test and crack? If it isnt long, Ill donate mine and rent a car for a week or so.

 

Well the ECU went to Japan about 5-6 weeks ago and is just now back. But I think once they've done the first one, the variants should be pretty easy. I'd get ahold of them or hit up Tek since he's been dealing with them...

 

seems like you guys are making progress, can't wait til the finished product. good job guys

 

SO...where's TEK???? Mine's also a 5AT so if he sees an improvement I might go for it!!

 

the secret is out!!!

we are working on it guys, looks like the ecu has been delayed. it should have been here on monday, but is not as of right now...

we have a test car on stand by for it and everything, so we are ready when technosquare is.

 

Very interesting - keep us posted.

 

Oops, didn't know it was a secret!!

 

Why don't you guys just buy the UTEC and harness patch for the 350Z?

 

Oh, i have 5AT too.. look forward in hearing about this.. Thanks

 

The ECU is still in Japan, as of today; supposedly cracked. It's on the way back w/ the program and programmer. That's what they said last week too. I'll follow up w/ them later this week.

 

Hmmm... W/ all the arguments about which piggyback works and which doesn't, this is another option. Besides they can tell us about the stock ECU programming itself.

 

5AT here also, glad to hear some progress may have been made...

 

5AT here as well, and god damn I really hope this works out.

 

Ill have them use my car for the 6sp manual if they want.

 

Since TS said they cracked the 5AT ECU, the others shouldn't be a problem. I'll report back when I know more.

 

This is good news. Hopefully this will be done before the summer. If it works I will buy one.

 

be careful, i heard some people have problems running upgraded ecu and nitrous.

 

Subscribing. I want to see the results of this

 

May need a piggyback to adjust the timing.

 

Thanks for that information. Lets see what happens.

 

ok guys I should get it tomorrow or so... I called the dyno shop also so I can give you guys numbers and not just a butt dyno experience...

 

Do you think and upgraded ECU and APEX SAFCII will have problems, I'm having my APEX install this weekend???

 

Are you getting it or is RH testing it first???

 

I dunno, but I don't think you would need it...

 

getting very antzy over here.....me want chip.

 

not now.... I dunno what happend up there, but Brian no longer works there anymore .. so with the new person we are dealing with is telling us that we have to test it ourselves. just incase I don't want RH to test it out and have something go wrong with his car, so I will test it at my own risk and car.

I will post dyno #, as well as keep technosquare updated with the progress.

TS did the nissan Z and got 7hp stock and 10hp with an intake, so we'll see..

 

just out of curiosity, but if all goes well with this chip and is something that we can all get....is it going to be something where we have to send our current ECU in and have it redone?

 

now you don't have to wait like I did.. it should be all set to do in 2-3 days waiting time, you next day air to them and they send it back the same way..

 

Call me or Pm Pito and let me know how it works.. sounds very interesting I might be down.

 

if the ecu works then you would no tneed an afc. the only reason you may need a piggy back is if you have nitrous and need to retard timing

 

7hp???

You guys need some headers

 

Cost of the chip=? vs 7 hp....
Depending on the cost wonder about value....
