Ecutek Race Rom

2011-05-27T17:33:00.000-07:00

Ecutek race rom was developed to enhance the standard OEM Ecu with additional features. Currently Race Rom is available for Subaru electronic-throttle vehicles, and will be available for the R35 GTR shortly, with other vehicles to be supported in the future.
General Race Rom Features:
.Map Switching - Maps switching gives the ability to switch between two calibrations that can be tailored to your requirements.

"Road Mode" and "Race Mode", can provide two sets of maps for civilised driving to conserve fuel, and then a high performance calibration for track days or racing.
"Valet Mode" A low performance mode if you have to put your car into someone Else's care.
"Anti-Theft Mode" A mode where the Car just doesn't work unless you know how to change maps.

Switching calibration can be done in several different ways, including whilst driving.

Each calibration can include its own set of other Race ROM features, such as flat-foot shifting or auto throttle downshift blip.

"Per-Gear Boost Control" Per gear boost control allows separate boost calibrations for each gear, thereby maximising boost control options and flexibility. For example, boost may be reduced in 1st gear to prevent wheel spin, but raised in 3rd-6th for increased performance.
"Per-Gear Rev Limits" This feature allows per gear rev limits to be configured. It could be used to improve 0-60 times by allowing a higher 2nd gear limit to just hit 60 mph / 100 km /h in 2nd, whilst preserving the loser rev limit in other gears.
"Vehicle Specific Race ROM Features" These Race ROM features are available for certain ranges of vehicle.
"Subaru: Speed Density" The Speed Density (SD) feature changes the way the engine load is calculated. When SD mode is activated, the ECU will disregard the MAF sensor reading and will instead calculate mass airflow based on Engine Speed, Manifold Pressure and Air Temperature. This allows the MAF sensor to be removed, and a larger intake may then be fitted if desired.

This function can be tailored to work permanently, or under certain circumstances, such as MAP value or MAF voltage, enabling you to make the most of the precision of MAP and MAF fuel calculations for low speed driving.

For more information on further specs and options please contact us ultimatetunes@netspeed.com.au

Tuned Triton

2010-11-04T16:40:00.000-07:00

In the past few months ecutek have worked on developing software, that gives Mitsubishi Triton owners unheard of tunability in Turbo Diesel's. With these developments, amazing gains and improvements have been made with increased peroformance, drivability, reliability and economy. Increses in torque have been around 30%, and gains of approximately 30kw throught out the rev range. Ecutek is not your run of the mill Diesel power chip. Ecutek software, makes the factory ecu a fully laptop programable Ecu, allowing the tuner greater control over all aspects of the ecu, another benefit is the fact that there is now chip fitted to the vehicle, it is all done via uploading the software into the factory ecu, making it not visible, and no risk of a chip being filled with water the first time you go off road.

So think Ecutek first when you consider improving your Triton.

Tuning for Mitsubishi Pajero also availiable. for more information or enquiries please contact the team at Ultimate Tunes.

Brutal Bugeye

2010-11-02T12:55:00.000-07:00

Since Superlap earlier this year, the need for speed has increased rapidaly. One car that has progresively been developed is this 2001 bugeye, It went from a mild street car to Obsene race car in a short period of time, and since Superlap it has received some serious touches. Sitting in the engine compartment is a built 2.5L, with the right piston and rod combination, and billet crank the bottom end is strong, and with the case receiving the right treatment it will be happy to take the boost. The top end has also been improved with some BC 280 deg cams, and extensive porting, it was just built with one thing in mind. Power is not a problem, as this engine is been force fed by a Garret GT37/88 Early stages of tuning have since some great results, 387kw, at 21 psi, and still running on pump fuel. With a touch of ethanol to come, and some aggressive tuning, traction is appearing to be a problem. Keep an eye out as we will go into further detail later.

Keep MDTC Open

2010-07-01T16:51:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately, Marulan Driver Training Centre is in the head lines for the wrong reasons.

People have taken it upon themselves to try and have the track closed as they consider it as causing to much noise to there precious ears. Over the period of time the track has been open they have taken many steps to keep noise to a minimal. Unfotunately that is just not enough for some, so MDTC is in the fireing line.

People complaning forget the point that tracks like this are desinged to keep speeding off the streets and on a controlled environment, and give many peolple the opprtuninty to learn how to drive, and others the chance to enjoy a great hobby.

At this rate there will be know tracks left in this country

Badass Bugeye @ Superlap

It received a full rebuild, inc a fresh 2.5L race engine, with a Garret GT30/40 Hybrid Turbo,

Haltech PS1000, and Racepak Dash.

The car only just made it to Superlap in time for some practise on thursday.

At 9:00am on Thursday morning we rolled it off the dyno and straight onto the car trailer.

pushing 315kw at the wheels and 580nm of torque on a mild tune.

Connor managed 1:47, which we were quite happy with, as the car had never been tested. The car still has some teething issues which we are working on so we can be back out on the track in the next few weeks for our tackday.

Plaining has began to be faster for next years Superlap, with a 39 the target for this daily driven Evo.

Team Effort

2010-03-26T03:23:00.000-07:00

With the days to the World Time Attack Challenge counting down very fast, Ultimate Tunes is working closely with Notaras Motorsport in preparation to take on the world in pro - class.

The Notaras Evo 9 RS, is packing far more punch than it had at last years superlap battle, and is now as wide as 2 elephants, with its APR wide body kit 305/40 by 18 inch tyres the car will be a forced to be reckoned with. The man that has the job to tame the beast is our good friend Steve Owen, he has made room in his busy schedule of endurance races and testing with Jamie Whincup and Team Vodaphone, to join us at Superlap.

The Ultimate Tunes Evo 7 will be attacking Open Class, alongside Jason Hart in his GC8 WRX.

both cars have received major work.

The Ultimate 7, is now running a completely new drive line, and turbo setup. It has also, some minor aero upgrades.

Jason's GC8, will be running a new engine and turbo, and a custom V mount Setup. also with some aero upgrades and bigger brakes, it will also be a force to be reckoned with.

Club - Sprint Class, will also be hit by the Ultimate Stick, with both Connor Nolan, & Paul Smith planing to shake up there class.

Both cars are still in early stages of testing. Connors WRX, has just received a cage and race seat, and while he waits for some fancy coilovers on a slow boat form Japan, he is definitely a contender.

Paul will be flying the Nissan flag, with frightfully quick R32 GTR, with a built motor and an array of well thought mods he will certainly be one to watch.

So head up to Superlap & support the local teams.
