Many of you now know about the tuning info that I posted on the net > [ http://cherrypicker.tripod.com/turboupgradeforvg30dett/id10.html ] Well, today I get this email from AshZ:
"Devin,
What's up with your Mr. T page? I'm taking it as a slap in the face.
Care to elaborate?
Ash" My answer: It is now public infomation. Deal with it.
In response to your comments on my post in the technical section > [ http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=technical&msg_id=797570 ] I will answer them here:
"I hate to burst bubble when it comes to this, but a lot of your information is dangerously incorrect."
- Wrong. Sorry bud but you know that it is more than accurate. It is more than enough info for anyone to start tuning their ecu themselves. "Dual intake for example..."
- Weren't you the one that called JWT's code dangerous? Either way, I admit that I have not seen the JWT code for dual intakes. I know for sure that you have. There are enough copies of the JWT codes floating around that if I am wrong 1) someone will very soon email me a copy of the dual pop .bin file or 2) someone will email or post the how-to information publicly. That is the beauty of having this tuning info available to the whole 300Z community. Any errors will very soon be corrected and we can move on.
Don't forget that without the copies of the JWT codes for you to study, you wouldn't know anything about tuning. Your tuned ecu's that are traveling in people's cars are now traveling over the net. Don't be mad, you got the JWT code the same way. Think of them as little mp3's. "You mention about the temperature enrichment which is also seriously incorrect. What you are referring to is the conversion table."
- That is great! This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. I didn't claim to be perfect. In fact I laid out my knowledge for public scrutiny with the hopes to improve it. Now I can go back and revise my write up. "Unfortunately your page has so many holes in the descriptions that you make swiss cheese green with envy."
- On the contrary dood, it is very accurate. You just want to make my info appear less valuable for the obvious purpose of selling your obsolete Zemulator. Please post publically what you think is wrong with my write up :-) "HEX conversions are exactly what end users need to go through when tuning, aye matey?"
- No ship surelock. What is so hard about understanding 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 in decimal being equal to 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F in hex? Do you think that the average user can fine tune your obsolete Zemulator's A/F maps, Timing maps, and all the global settings, but understanding dec to hex conversion is above their head? Even with a free hex to dec conversion calculator on windows, even with the free chart I made??? "Also, dont expect the emulator you posted about to work with the Nissan ECU ANYMORE, much less my application."
- *Anymore* what does that mean? Did you convince Xtronics.com to stop selling the Romulator for emulating the most commonly tuned eprom - 27C256? If so, tell the Z community why you would want to keep this inexpensive piece of tuning equipment out of their hands.
The Romulator is $179 and which is marketed to the Honda community for $180 but you want $500 for your base model.
Just supposing for the moment that the worst case scenario was the Romulator gets discontinued, there are a bunch of emulators in the $250 to $300 price range. There is nothing special about an emulator. "128bit encrypted authentication as well as mods to the hardware to make it work with the Nissan ECU are something I have made sure to lock down. Happy tuning!"
- LOL who cares. We don't need your obsolete Zemulator anymore. Here is the true beauty of the info that I posted:
1) Your $500 base model is really a $179 Romulator with software that no one needs.
2) Your $700 Pro-model with fake-realtime trace is more than a $179 Romulator and a $400 Conzult. It is also $100 more expensive than some other very nice emulators with true realtime trace. Why do all the high end tuners have a good emulator with real time trace? Because it highlights * ALL * the areas of the eprom that are being accessed. Your Zemulator doesn't even allow access to the rest of the code much less trace them.
3) Pretty soon all the shops that have read my write up can start cranking out tuned chips for $6 each. They are going to be all over the net within a few weeks. The days of the $700, $500, and $250 eprom are gone. I can crank out 10 tuned chips in one minute. TV / VCR repair shops will solder in sockets for $10-$30. Do the math. So your Zemulator is obsolete because it is too late in being released, it is WAY too expensive, it doesn't have enough features for it's price range, and the person selling it is an attention freak and needs to get down from his self-made pedestal. You also should not have said all those bad things about JWT / Stillen. Without him there would be no tuned ecu's for the Z in the US.
