Osiris from Uprev
I'm sure that just like many members on here, I am looking for the "ultimate" tuning device that will suit my needs.
WELL, I think that this program is everything in one package: decent price, extremely easy to do, reputable provider, and did I mention easy to do?
I figured that since we somewhat share the same ECU as the 350Z, I would e-mail Uprev and ask about the possibility of them making some alterations to the program so that we (6th gen community) can use it.
Here is their response...
"Daniel,
Thanks for contacting UpRev and your interest in Osiris.
You seem to have a good grasp of the product. You need a laptop and our
cable. We supply you with tuned files to flash onto your vehicle. You
then use the software and cable to send back Datalogs. We verify the tune
is running good, make adjustments, and email you an updated tune to flash.
We call this process eTuning and it is a free service.
Now, if that's not easy then I don't know what is!
Right now we do not offer Osiris for the Maxima. Although the ECU's are
similar, they contain different operating code. In addition, we have not
tuned any Maxima's at our shop locally and this is what we base our tunes
off of. Technically our tools will work, but we don't have all the
development done to cover the ECU types and hardware mods.
With that in mind, I have bumped your email to my programmer and tuner to
see if they want to take this project on. I'll keep you posted.
Are you located anywhere near Austin by chance?
Cheers,
Matt

I responded to them with...
"Thanks for the quick and informative response! Wow, so it's as easy as e-mails and uploading huh? That sounds awesome!
I guarantee you that there would be a huge demand for this program from the 04'-07' Maxima community, mostly 04'-06', but still a few 07's. Probably not as much as the 350Z/G35 crew, but definitely enough to make it worth your effort.
This seems as if it's everything we are looking for in one package that is VERY EASY to operate, if the steps are followed. There are many of us 6th gen owners looking at AFC, and we are expanding on the units chosen, but there still seems to be not one unit that you can say would be "universal" for everyones taste.
Sadly I am not anywhere near Austin; I am located near Chicago, IL.
I will definitely be posting this on the Maxima forums, and maybe there will be some people that could go to your shop and be guinea pigs for the 6th gen market!"
So hopefully someone around Austin can test this program out.

Check the links and it's only $700 
When all is said and done, this is the CHEAPEST and most effective AFC if you ask me.
SAFC/VAFC/NEO-all about $200ish + install (if applicable) about $100 + dyno tuning about $350 (that's lower than most areas in my place) = roughly $650 and for everyone that has the stock ECU (pretty much everyone), it will alter the information that has been programmed, and will need to be re-tuned once in a while.
E-Manage Blue/Ultimate and UTEC-the E-manage Blue can be found for about $200 used and the Ultimate for a few hundred more. The UTEC can be found for about $600ish. And you still have to go about installing and tuning each one of them.
TechnoSquare reflash-$495 and your car will be down for a couple of days (not a big deal, but may be to some) and if you want an accurate tune, then you will have to dyno with your AFR, which can cost a couple of hundred dollars. So again, about $600-$700
ALL of those require dyno-tuning...unlike the Osiris, which (from my understanding) you just plug into your OBDII port, record some data logs and e-mail them to Uprev, and they will send you the proper "tunes" for your set-up...FOR FREE (at least for the time being)
.02 and most cost effective when you break it down

But can it do everything the Utec can do? We should incorporate a list of things I'm looking for (Nmemax, where are you)?
I want:
1. AFC Control
2. Revs increased to 7500
3. Ability to switch between maps (for nitrous)
4. Throttle remap
Right now the Utec does all of this, I believe, and I'm waiting to get the Cattman headers before I start on the tuning.
Any word on if this device can do any of the above?

2.) not sure how high it can, but I know it does
3.) this is th coolest feature! you can switch between 5 maps IIRC using your cruise control buttons!
4.) I'm pretty sure it does, but read through the link and I'm sure it will say
Also, you have to remember that the UTEC is a unit that has to get spliced into your stock ECU, whereas Osiris is just uploaded through your OBDII port

Project,
I emailed him about 8 months ago and got the same response. Dont get your hopes up. Would love to have this as well but I dont think they will think it is worth their while. The next step is to get a tester in Austin.

While I find Osiris very interesting and may like to use it for other purposes, to clarify there is no splicing to be done with a UTEC. It is plug and play in the truest sense.

You can switch between three maps, they make mention of support for more but only show three. I'm not sure what the qualifications are for more than three.

I thought you had to actually splice it into your ECU harness.I apologize for putting out false information then
Is all I have to say on that one.Have you ever seen a G/D nearly slash prices in half?
*Just to clarify, the 350Z/G35 crew couldn't get a G/D, so I highly doubt that our "small" community would get one*

Myself and another 5.5g gen member were also pursuing this at one time. (Him more than me). It seems as if they are just not that interested in our market. So, what I did, as get the simple package. And all it includes is data logging and the normal OBDII capabilities (idle change, +2*BTDC, coolant test, cylinder test, fuel pressure test)
At 400$, I suppose it could have been able to do more, but the data logging alone is worth it IMO. For you 05+ members, you could log your WBO2’s and toss in an AFC and do some raw tuning with it.
But, I still think the UTEC is the way to go.
Also, on a side note, the A33B software had never been tested, only with one car, so they did not grant any guarantee to me it would work, but it did (minus the BCM functions). So, being that your ECU’s are quite similar to that of the Z33/V35, I would take a plunge and just try it for the heck of it. Hopefully they would offer a $back type of thing if it did not work.
And yes, the UTEC is a P&P for you guys. For us (A33B) we need to do some splicing, not again, not for you.

In that case I should be ok I have an 06 max. I remember reading on nissanclub.com about an Altima using the UTEC but couldn't remember all the details.

You may want to check into it a little further, but IIRC, they early and even mid model years had NBO2’s. Whereas ALL 05+ have NB O2’s. Check with your local Nissan Tech, I know you have a pretty close friend on ‘the inside’. Ask him to do a data monitor on your O2 sensors and see if they give you an actual value, or a plain ‘ol RICH/LEAN scenario.
