2003 Nissan 350Z 6MT – Calibration

2003 Nissan 350Z 6MT – Calibration

Client came in from neighboring MS and wanted to squeeze a few more whp from the Z. Well we had no choice but to calibrate the vehicle using UpRev to see how much we could improve on the bolt on components that it had.
Mods included:
Berk Test Pipes / ISR Single Cat Back / ISR Y Pipe / Z1 Intake Tube / JW Pop charger filter kit / Kinetix Stainless Intake Manifold / 295-30-19 wheels.
Ambient conditions on the day of calibration were 83F, 78% humidity and 30.03 baro.

2005 Nissan Titan – Headers install & Calibration

Client arrived with wanting to get some JWT camshaft installed on his 2005 Nissan Titan, but we talked him into getting some bolt on first before going that route.
In comes a nice ceramic coated JBA headers install and after that the truck went to Custom Mufflers in Kenner for some custom exhaust work. The guys at that place did a bang up job on getting him some Borla and Magnaflow components in there to connect correctly to the 3″ VBands from the JBA headers.

When the vehicle returned from the exhaust shop we got it on the rollers and started the UpRev calibration to see what we could squeeze out of the pump gas.  Truck came in with a Airaid intake as well.

At the end this exhaust modification and calibration really woke this vehicle up, we were really impressed how the WTQ is delivered in this truck now after these changes.


2007 Nissan 350z – UpRev calibration

On a busy week as it was leading up to the local Import Face Off we took in this calibration job to get this 350Z sorted out.  This Nissan 350z 5AT came in to get straight since the client had added some breathing modifications.

Modifications on this vehicle included Z1 Motorsports intake, Invidia CBE and Test Pipes.


Baseline 239whp, car tuned in 4th gear.  Ambient conditions: 8F, 42%, 30.30baro

4/9/2018
New parts were installed on the Z, client came in to see if we could give him a few WHP more.
We did not disappoint!

Here are the before and after the parts and re-calibration.


2016 Nissan 370z – UpRev calibration

Another Z34 getting a ProTune treatment via UpRev and of course adding the ARC treatment to it in order to optimize the mods that were present on this vehicle.

Mods in the 7AT vehicle included a Stillen Gen3, Megan Racing header, Tomei TP & CBE with a Monza Ypipe.

Ambient conditions on the day were: 81F, 46% and 30.07 baro.

2011 Infiniti G37 – UpRev & ARC

The summer down here in NOLA tends to be rather brutal and with that said, calibration of vehicles have to moved to nights.  In comes a 2011 Infiniti G37 automatic transmission that has some mods and is needing a calibration of the engine right away.

Mods on this vehicle were:
AdminTuning Intakes / Z1 ported manifold / Ypipe / Test pipes / Tires 235.40.19
Ambient conditions – 86F, 72% and 30.20 baro

Vehicle came in and the guys were going right in to install the Intakes, after the intakes were installed the vehicle was loaded to the rollers were mapping needed to be done right away since these intakes and stock calbiration do not play nice together.

2003 Nissan 350z @ IFO – UpRev

On Saturday before the race event this car arrived and needed a calibration right aways since he wanted to make it to the race event.  The motor which is a built VQ35DE which was installed, put in the engine bay by another shop and it needed to be tuned, so the client contacted us.  Time was not in our favor since it was just a few hrs before the race on Sunday. We checked the fluids and also the spark plugs since we were told that pistons on this build were a little higher compression.  We opted to put a 2step colder plug for added insurance.

Engine mods list:

Machine Work – Stage 2 VQ35 Long block / High Compression Pistons
Wiseco 96mm 11.1:1 CR
Eagle rods / ACL bearings
JWT C8 VQ35 upgraded camshafts 272 dur.  /.473 lift / JWT shim and Spring kit
Rev up Oil Pump / Kinetix intake manifold / AEM intake / TB  / CBE
Dyno Dynamics final numbers on the day.
Ambient conditions on the day 85F, 54% humidity and 30.14 baro.
For all you dyno jet people this is what it would have made on that machine when the conversion to the charts are made on the Dyno Dynamics.
Sunday was the Import Face Off event in No Problem Raceway and of course this client was ready and eager to get to the track to see what it would do. On Saturday night he tested the vehicle on a closed deserted street and he was impressed on how the car was showing its new found power.

Here is a video of 1st qualifying run of both of my clients going at it.  Jason with the red 350z made it to the final of his category and finally was bested  by a red 370z. That 370z which won the category was very consistent all day at the event.

In conclusion good showing by my client’s Z and Gs out there.


Nissan Sentra B16 – UpRev calibration

My associates in Panama contacted me and asked me if I could remote tune this Nissan Sentra B16 SpecV.  Manual transmission on this vehicle and some simple bolt ons.

I said sure lets put that UpRev on it and see what we can make on it.  The guys at Taller NB in Las Tablas did a great job of testing the vehicle and relaying the information to me in order to check out the datalog and dyno chart results from every movement that was made to the UpRev ROM.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the results and so was the owner of the vehicle in the Azuero region of Panama.

Here are the before and after runs.  We were able to extract power throughout the power band from the calibration.

A  little more tweaking and this was the way we left the vehicle at.  Very proud of what we were able to accomplish with this remote calibration session.


2015 Infiniti Q40 – UpRev calibration

Gentleman contacted me since he just picked up this used vehicle and wanted to make sure it was operating correctly since it seemed that it was previously modded.  the first step he did was take it to dealership to replace the oem ecu since it was throwing some codes. Once that was done he brought the car to us to calibrate it.

This 2015 Infiniti Q40 AWD A/T came in with a Stillen Gen3 intakes only, so we installed a UpRev license and started calibrating the vehicle to get a good reliable performance out of it.

After the calibration of this vehicle on this cold night we managed to increase the power output on it to a respectable number for a AWD configuration.

Ambient conditions on the night were: 52F, 39% and 30.17 Baro / all runs were done in sports mode 4th gear.

 


2012 Nissan 370zTT – Fixing & UpRev calibration

A old client referred this gentleman with the 370zTT to our services. Car came in with the client mentioning that it felt lethargic after he had done a simple oil change in one of those oil service shops.  We loaded the vehicle on the dyno to see what we were up against. The initial dyno test determined that this car was making below normal aspirated power numbers. It was not boosting the right psi and the AFR conditions were dire in the rich side.

After we unstrapped the vehicle from the dyno we were commissioned to take the necessary measures to rectify the situation. Upon quick glance we saw that the previous shop did not do a spot on job on the installing the AAM Competition twin turbo kit.  Our tech came in and wrote down a shopping list of items that would have to be replaced and other adjusted in order to get the turbo kit to operate efficiently.

Many thanks for Luis at AAM Competition for helping us in troubleshooting and getting us the correct parts that needed to be replaced on the kit.

A/T built / AAM Competition twin turbo kit / UpRev calibration / Shell 93 oct.

Runs made in sports mode 4th gear.
Ambient conditions 81F / 64% humidity / 30.03 Baro.

All runs were made at the gate pressure which was 9psi.

370zTTdyno video

On 1/29/18 we went to No Problem Raceway to test the vehicle and see what it could do out there.  We had to work out some kinks on the shifting aspect of the vehicle, but after that managed to make some decent passes.  The pass in the video is of the low boost 9psi run which we are making the power from the charts above.

 


Infiniti Q50 – Uprev calibration

Got a call from a client in the neighboring state of MS in regards to making this car a bit faster. When he arrived we noticed that it was not making even the stock power that it should be making.

Checked oil and it  was low on oil, this is something that always needs to be checked before attending any tuning session. Proper level of the fluids is critical in these modern cars to be able to make the correct power once you start adding power adders.  This vehicle had minimal mods on it, it only had an intake on this A/T version.

Here is the before and after when oil was put in the right level and then after the Uprev calibration was administered.

Here are dyno jet numbers on these 4th gear pulls.
