typeR

you know somethin funny...if i get the kinda gains the rest of you do,and the dyno i always post given me by doug is correct...i should dyno after the unichip 260 whp 232 lb.ft of torque.how funny will that be ?

r10apple

Funny like a clown? At least you could use Acura's brochures to promote your ride...

Jonesi

We need more people...! Start recruiting..!!

A-TL has a thread going that I've been active in also.

mykemcnasty2

Id love to get in on this group buy, but dont you think 700-750 is a bit much for this unit? If the price was dropped, I may be in. Come on people, if we get more recruits , then the price may drop.

CLS2001_97124

Plug and Play. You plug it in, and start playing. No need to get it installed or have it retuned (unless you want to)

Price will be $700-$750. Depend on if we can get more than 20 people.

CLS2001_97124

Think of it this way.. the chip changes the A/F and timing, so the gains are more represented in a percentage factor rather then just pure 10-15HP. Therefore, if you have more mods, or bigger displacement (typeR), the percentage gained is about the same, but you will yield more HP/TQ from the Chip.

That is unless you have some kind of FI, then a new map will be needed.

I believe Mattg will be bring his car in for those who runs NOS for their CLS.

CLS2001_97124

Is that calculated from HP gained or Percentage gain??

But it is very funny.. since now you have the power at the wheels the same as stock crank HP.

There are gains at every RPM. With headers , your gains are only at the very top. The Unichip is a much better value then headers from that stand point.

CLS2001_97124

I guess the price factor will be relative for different people. Consider this. $700 for CT exhaust for 1-2HP, $1000 for CT header which give you almost 30 Peak HP, but only about 3-5 through the band. Then there is UniChip which gives you 10-15 through the entire power band.

IMO, this is a good mod that will get the most out of your other mods. Call it a enhancement to your previous investment.

Okay here is the current tally:



IN/Maybe's

1. Jonesi
2. typeR (3.5)
3. Nitin
4. ChucksTL (PnP for sure if this GB works)
5. juice (maybe)
6. JaDia4 (still working on finding a 6-speed for testing)
7. power3dfx (price might drop if we hit 25-30 people)
8. mykemcnasty2 (same comment as above)
9. phipark (Maybe)
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.
16.
17.
18.
19.
20.

phipark

Put me down as a maybe. I'm still working on the headers and springs. Good thing I have credit.

CLS2001_97124

I will try to post a new list at least ones a day.. But phipark, I was able to add you before the edit option expired.. so you made it to the first list.

Jonesi

CLS2001 -- I'm trying to pull some of the A-TL people... Maybe you could swing over there and maybe help further explain some of the questions asked..

CCType-S

Put me down as maybe too.

Jonesi

Now if we could get some "yes" we'd be good to go? Out of curiousity why are some "maybe?" Cost, etc...

CLS2001_97124

Jonesi,

Can you post a link to A-TL? Thanks!

Jonesi

phipark

Cost is my only issue.

CCType-S

Same here b/c I'm planning to buy the headers as well.

Jonesi

I hear ya.. I just bought the headers on the GB junior is having. It will take them some time to get the harnesses going and at the rate of people were getting it may take awhile..

When is the eta? and can i pay through paypal? and i have a vafc will that affect anything? And last question when do you need the money by?
thanks

Was there ever a map made for and FI car. Specifically the CT SC. I know people with SC like myself have following the e-manage thread but I wonder what kind of result would be achieved with the chip.

Also the level of involvement and tunning with the e-manage is more for people that know exactly what they are doing. I prefer a plug and play and forget about tunning approach.

JaDia4

If I understand this correctly he is saying that the modification setup has to be known prior to purchase. But then if I get another mod I would need to be retuned. Am I way off base on this?
Also it would be cool if potential buyers could mathematically figure out what their gains would be with each individual mod configuration. I.E. i/h/chip, or i/e/chip, or pulleys/h/chip etc. etc. etc. If we had an idea what the general percentage the chip will increase hp/tq then we can figure it out for ourselves. Just a suggestion.

mattg

i am IN.

lets get this going guys. we've been waiting for this for a long time and now we have a chance to make it a reality. finally, a PNP piggyback chip w/ solid, documented gains.

i have seen what it can do in person. i won't even get in to how badly i raped Brian at the white city drags... but when we raced again after he had the chip installed he was able to hang right with me. we both have i/h/e, but i have the full UR pulley set, cat back exhaust, and super light 18" wheels compared to his not so light 19's.

this is the real deal.

Jonesi

I believe most would order it for the basic mods of I/H/E since most people have or will have the mods soon.

"Think of it this way.. the chip changes the A/F and timing, so the gains are more represented in a percentage factor rather then just pure 10-15HP. Therefore, if you have more mods, or bigger displacement (typeR), the percentage gained is about the same, but you will yield more HP/TQ from the Chip."

Jonesi

Contact/PM Scalbert for these questions since he has done most research on both options.

Ant7701

OK fuck it...im like 90% in!!!Can u contact me at ant7701@yahoo.com for info on how to send the $100 down payment??Do they/you accept credit cards??

Jonesi

1) We need to get Atleast 20 people first and foremost. Then organizing everything and then have UniChip produce the harnesses. ETA earliest month latest prob 3 months.
2) Not sure how CLS2001 wants to handle all the money yet
3) I honestly don't have a answer 100% on that one
4) Once we get further along we will be able to determine that

Jonesi

Awesome...! Once we get more people we will figure out the deposit and everything.. Just hold tight.

Jonesi

Jonesi

Guys, please remember the price is around $750-700 w/ PnP harness and the more people we can get the better the bargaining power we have to hopefully negotiate a better price.

Anthony come on, you too now. We'll be the two Islander's with the chip for Acura Wars.

Mr Hyde

Make that 3, Im in.

Chopsie

Call me a maybe, I am currently still trying to decide whether I am going to sell my Auto CLS for a 6 speeder.

NSX-Tuner

Get the 6 speeder. You'll like it much more than the auto.

Jonesi

Are you still planning to let them do your 6spd ?

blader

ahhhh I want to be in on this .. if I hadn't spent like 3800$ like 3 weeks ago on valentine 1, rims&tires, sways, icebox, brakelines, and exhaust I'd be ALL over this .. I might be a late entry if I can save up the money by the time you guys do it. I don't want to get in though and not have enough cash by the time we have to pay up.
