Hi all 

quick question got a early 2004 350GT v35 with the vq35de, the ecu is not supported with UpRev.

can I swap in a 350z manual ECU? Has anyone done this? 

 

Car is a budget race car only thing I want to keep going is the dash cluster, if I can switch the ecu and then UpRev tune it, remove the nats etc that’s all I need.

Are you sure..? Alot of older G35's get uprev tuned.

Message UpRev on FB. i speak to them on there all the time to add a few options to my cars ROM. It might take a few weeks but they should be able to add it if its not already.

Yes already messaged them with ecu numbers and got a reply not supported won’t work. 

I even asked them about grabbing another ecu and just got a very un-helpful “do your own research”.  

G35 might have a different ECU as they were OBD2 compatible, the V35 ECU isn't.  That said, I have never heard of anyone having issues with a V35 350GT with uprev, maybe there is something a bit unique about yours.  Sorry, I can't help much further.

  • 3 weeks later...

Anyone got the full UpRev software that can come remove the VATs? Or if anyone knows how to do with with NDS?

pull the engine out and will just stand-alone wire the ecu in the race car so don’t want to have to switch the dash loom and BCM.

Do you mean NATS?  I think it is fairly heavily integrated, not sure if upRev will do it, or you need to go with a full aftermarket ECU.

NDS certainly cannot.

UpREv can disable NATS

Have swapped in a 350z manual ecu, car fires but dies straight away so I suspect its the NATS, few errors show in NDS , NATS comm failure, TPS issues 3 of them, and can bus error. 

All i need is to get the car running without NATS so i can rip the engine and engine loom out and transplant, dont want to have to rip the whole dash and BCM and cluster out. 

 

If anyone has the full tuners UpRev who can do a NATS removal please sing out.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
