We would like to share a mile stone we've achieved regarding the stock ECU. Over the last few months we've been working on developing a way to overcome one of the limitations of the stock ECU when it comes to making big power. While Uprev enables the aftermarket to rewrite the stock ECU in the 370Z/G37, there have been a few hurdles to jump when pushing the envelope over 600whp. Since day one, we always kept in mind that people will only want more power. In anticipation, we chose to use 3" MAF piping in all of our turbo kits and the GTM Stage 2 Supercharger Kit. Doing that gives us more headroom when it comes to MAF Voltage. It's a mechanical calibration that allows us to get the factory MAF to read more airflow. Even at 600whp, the MAF voltage is getting up to 4.9 to 4.95 Volts. While this is still below the 5 Volt limit, it does not give us any headroom to compensate for changing atmospheric conditions (such as a cold morning). The next step was to find an aftermarket MAF sensor that can replace the factory Nissan unit with the same physical dimensions and connector. Of course, that was the easy part. The challenging part is to produce a good calibration that contains a linear MAF curve so we can get the best resolution and still plenty of headroom for more horsepower while retaining factory drivability. This development translates into having a 1000hp car that starts up every time and can be driven normally on the street.

Ultimately, this has greatly expanded the capabilities of the factory ECU to the level of performance commonly relegated to a standalone EMS. While some standalone EMS options may have some additional features that set it apart, we've really narrowed the gap here.

To close the gap altogether, we are working on developing a system that will enable us to retard ignition timing in response to knock as well as boost cut. Once that is developed, there will be no reason for a standalone EMS in this platform.

  • @MrJingod 1 mpg

  • who ever said v8s or go home.. eat your heart out!

  • watch this z

    watch?v=oHJcZcNMW2k

  • I saw this car at SEMA, sounds incredible: watch?v=07_D8UFGmqs

  • is this just a show car cuz u guys dont have any vids of it going down the 1/4 or around a track?

  • Does the kit come with everything needed or do u need to get other parts separately?

  • There are never too many Z's wearing lmgt4's on all corners. Sick 370, love the progress w/ the tune.

  • who gets to drive this kahuna!?

  • you guys dont run this thing on the track, wats the 0-60, 1/4 mile, no track videos or lap times?

  • the charts shows 886...not 1000 but you can always hope??? Keep trying...
