Do you have one that you're having trouble with? I'm fairly good at using and tuning with it maybe I can help you out?

Not to argue with you but I disagree. Utec for the cost and ease of operation is pretty damn good. I'm not saying it's the greatest thing ever. But for the price you can't go wrong. It's not the systems fault that it's older technology. I mean here it is ten years later and still a usable system. Turbo xs kinda screwed everyone by never updating the software and abandoning the thing yea. It works for what I need on my turbo 5.5 gen.

Googling reveals that misfires are more common than herpes on these.

Just to make sure you did run a good ground? The same molex connector that has the selector wheel on it should have a wire off of it for a ground connection. If you don't ground that wire I know you can have different stuff happen.

I've been following the 5.7 swap stuff recently and I'm digging people's progress for sure. I don't want to change the subject too much, but I feel you on the UTEC thing. I'm new to a lot of this tuning game, and I personally haven't worked with tuning the UTEC, but the UTEC is responsible for a lot of the weird driveability problems with my car. It does its job, but it still is flawed. Cef had to bring an extra UTEC just in case my UTEC didn't work. I'll probably be looking into something better when I have some money again.
Definitely following these swaps though for more info. One day my 3.5 will kick the bucket.

The Utec was fine, the harness had loose contacts and wouldn't work.
I got a plug from the JY and redid the ENTIRE harness after getting this from him. It was figured out by installing the Utec in my 06 g35 for testing.

I underestimated how much larger this pulley would be since it's underdriving LOL. This thing must be 6" 
The sentras stock pulley causes cavitation at high rpm, so it's even more oversized. It's not that big of a deal, I just cut off that little arm on the bracket.
What I did forget is that they don't use a two belt system, so it has two more ribs. 32" belt works perfect and alignment is with the belt in the middle.
So, yeah, SR20 pulley is definitely a better idea for the non-rigging crew
You'll notice a piece missing haha. The pulley is 5.5".

USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REPLACE POWER STEERING HOSE AS IT'S JUST ONE LESS THING TO REPLACE LATER

glad I came across this one, lots of good info in this thread. I just gone done installing my alternator, power steering pump, front compressor bracket and Nisformance tensioner. I actually trimmed a small chunk off the rear cam gear cover/timing chain tensioner cover in case the belt gets too close..
