Got a URL for details on the product?

I have yet to find anyone selling a PowerFC for the 350Z.

The factory ECU is flashable to a certain extent, but since its not a real-time tune and there's a finite number of rewrites the EPROM will handle I wouldn't recommend it as a tuner solution. If you were to tweak it once only then fair enough, but if you always mod and you want to retune for the mods you'll break the ECU eventually.

The ECU du jour for the 350Z is the TurboXS UTEC. It can act as a piggyback to the OEM ECU if you want to use it as an interceptor, or can cut the OEM ECU out and run as a complete standalone. It has 5 programmable maps that you can cycle between as well.

Its a pretty nice product from what I've read.

As for Australian 350Z information, the only forum I've found with a reasonable Australian contingent is 350Z-Tech. Most of the Australians I know with 350Zs are either running Unichips or UTECs.

My boss tuned 1 here on the Gold Coast about 2 years ago using our xede processor the customer wsa stoked with about 8-10rwkw more power which doesn't sound like much but it added about 15km/hr more top speed on his trip back to Perth.

Does the Xede act as a full OEM ECU replacement, or have a speed cut defender?

The OEM ECU has a 250km/hr limiter, and its not impossible to tag it given a long enough straight.

hi rob82,

does the xede allow the changing of a/f ratios?any idea of cost for that sort of tune?chiptorque did the tune on my sons vl turbo & my modified vt,was happy both times with the results.

cheers
