Z1 engine tunes do not disable emissions control systems or the onboard diagnostic (OBD) system. The customer is responsible for ensuring the hardware they are using on their vehicle does not cause a failure to meet emissions standards.
The Z1 Performance Tuning Package provides the best tuning solution for your VQ38-powered Nissan Frontier outside of our in-house services. The Level 1 Tune (base) requires no dyno tuning and is expertly pre-calibrated to suit your truck. Our Level 2 Tune (custom) will allow your truck to unlock maximum power from your mods and lets you get your money's worth from all your performance upgrades.
Included with the purchase of the Level 1 or Level 2 Tune is an EcuTek OBDII bluetooth performance analyzer and adapter that is used to install the provided ROM file onto your stock ECU through EcuTek's ECU Connect App. EcuTek allows full bluetooth vehicle integration with their ECU Connect app for mobile devices. The ECU Connect software gives you the ability to switch maps, read and reset diagnostic trouble codes (DTC), and gives you access to a huge number of diagnostic parameters. Through their bluetooth app you have access to data logging of hundreds of parameters, including detailed ignition and knock control, fuel injector timing, intake air temperature, and more!
*Please make sure your phone is compatible with the EcuTek connect app before ordering. When setting up your account through EcuTek Connect, please be sure to use the SAME EMAIL that you use for your Z1 account. Failure to do this may result in extended processing time.

- Map 1 87 Octane Towing Mode

Z1 Level 2 tuning is advanced tuning support for customers looking for custom tune calibrations and want a higher level of refinement and customization than would be included in a standard tune. This could include trucks with a use case beyond the standard bolt-on parts, such as those with oversized tires (2+ sizes over stock), intakes with a larger MAF tube, and complete aftermarket exhausts. While these are common examples, these modifications alone do not require a custom level 2 tune. The custom tuning process starts with our Level 1 tune flash and is revised based on the customer's provided data-log. Z1 will upload your first Level 2 tune based on the modification list you’ve disclosed. You will load that tune and then perform a data log on the vehicle per the instructions given to you by the Z1 tuner. Based on that data log, the tuner will adjust the tune to optimize your vehicle’s performance. If necessary, this process will be repeated one additional time for a maximum of 3 total tunes.

If you're unsure whether your truck would benefit from a Level 2 tune, please contact our team prior to ordering.
