damn I'd do it I'm really close to texas, like 20 mins but my spec is my only car.  phak

no bueno on the texas part either but damn right im down for a tune!!

They don't need your car for an extended time they just need you to come in every now and then. You just need to come in dyno, take the stock settings and then they over time examine what they can change and how they can change it and then you come back and they will reflash your ecu dyno tune you and then you come back again to see how the ecu has relearned the new values.

Hondata is not FTL, you owned a Honda and you should know that.. Even thier OBD1 systems were better than most others, neptune, chrome and a few others.

Let's get this going asap!

I Read about uprev on a few differnt forums, Looks like a totally kick ass system.  and from what I can tell, the customers are totally happy.

Someone jump on this deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a little birdie told me the 04+ one was YEARS out of being released to the public, too.  so 07+ guys... i wouldn't get any extreme hopes up of anything happening soon... but maybe i'll get proved wrong?  good luck anyways, sounds like you guys are like the 02/03s, always getting the short stick!

Like I said I spoke with them and they said if we start now they believe they can have the setup ready by the end of the year. That's a great turnaround time for R&D and actual testing. I think they do want a stock car.

But they still want to know if we have a stock wideband? If not we'd need an aftermarket one in order to use thier software.

This would be great if it can be accomplished.  It would definately help out those who want to stay NA.  I'd definately be down.

we have NOTHING by the main cat, no sensor, NOTHING

I would be very happy if this happened, if I lived anywhere near texas I would have done it too

Thank you I appreciate that, I just heard back from them today.

They said that they are very short on help but they are more than capable of cracking the ecu's. They just need more help. They said with the lack of a wideband we would need an aftermarket one so we need to get on that. They said pricing would be about 250-300$ for a ecu reflash (pre-programmed maps per your mods and fuel) to around 600-700$ for the full etune program and cable so you can plug and play and retune as you demand, they also say for the price it's significantly better than most if not all standalone ecu's as they are quite a bit more finicky.

Cobb accessport is epic and Uprev's software is quite a bit better for the same price.

There you go, you heard it from him, We need this asap, to clean up the A/F, get past the WOT restriction that we seem to have as well.

Someone needs to get on this asap!

Thanks for the chime in.

I spoke with a guy named Rich at UPREV who did confirm their interest in providing tuning support for our vehicles. He said that it would probably be towards the end of summer before they can start, however, he did sound very interested. I emailed him a letter of interest as seen below;

Rich,

I enjoyed our conversation regarding the 2007-2008 Sentra SE-R SpecV. As I am sure you know, we are a very enthusiastic group of car ownes that are in need of aftermarket support for our vehicles. As I stated in our conversation, I live near Houston, but I am willing to drive to Austin as necessary to allow the development of an ECU reflash for our vehicles. When you have the opportunity to address this vehicle, please contact me and we can work out a time that would fit both of our schedules. Thanks again for showing interest in our community.

Thank you for helping getting that started. What most people fail to realize is that this is the best investment towards modding our cars.

Power, reliability, and convenience(sp?) all at once.

If you need anything from me at all, let me know.

Right now, it is a wait and see. I will stay in touch with Rich at UPREV and hopefully we may have some tuning solutions available. I forgot to ask them but, I know that w/ the Superchips flash devices for Ford vehicles you can turn off the rear O2 sensors  to avoid an MIL. Maybe they can do something like this as well. It would definately be nice when a catless header becomes available. Worked out great for my Mustang, never failed an inspection for running without cats. Anyway, I will keep everyone informed on any progress.

i have the aem fi/c on order. its a piggyback but u can control each individual injector as well as clamp maf voltage so it doesnt max out.  Its got some nice options and i have the entire ecu pinout with corresponding aem wires/colors so its a straight forward install of cut, splice, solder, seal.  Also, if u elect to go this route, it has a port for an aem uego wideband so u can datalog through the fi/c and this is an EXCELLENT resource for street tuning so u can monitor everything AFTER ur runs and adjust what u need.

I used to think plug-n-play is the way to go, and it will be for many of u but once u learn to self-tune, ull NEVER want a plug-n-play

It has been a tough road trying to get parts for this car, compared to my Mustang. They already have parts for those cars before they go on sale. Especially flash tuning devices. It is more of a plug and play, but some parmeters and values can be changed like fuel trim +/- 15% at idle, part throttle, and WOT. Timing can also be adjusted. Advancing or retarding overall base timing, just cant change the timing curve independently at the DIY level. You have to have the tuner package to make those adjustments. Overall, I've been down this road before, waiting for the aftermarket to support a relatively new vehicle. It is usually the first two to three years that most modifcations are limited to air intakes and mufflers. No SE-Rious hardware. Thats when we as the owners of such vehicles have to pioneer a movement that brings attention to our beloved cars. It was that way with the first SE-R I owned in 1993. Where there's a will, there's a way. I had N2O on that car and ran 13.9's w/ a 50 shot.

any update on this?

People could look into the MegaSquirt fuel-only standalone that's around...

no thats a bad idea

I know, bad me...recommending a good thing that already exists self

I'm pysched for either or to be honest. I might have to try and get in contact with Bill tronco (even tho I hear people are having a few issues with him) and see if he's up to the task of wiring up a megasquirt.

What are the benefits of the program? I know it would control fuel, so I could adjust a/f's but is there anything else that it could aid in?

I just need it confirmed whether or not the throttle closes prematurely like in most other new nissans, and if so can megasquirt remedy that?
