Chiped & tuned
I just droped my car off this morning to get the Uni-chip installed and tuned. I am also putting thermoblock spacers on at the same time. I am anxiously awaiting the results and hopefully they will be good. I will be picking the car up at the end of the day and I will post and let you guys know how everything workrd out. Ill also inform you of the dyno. weather is good today, 65 F and 30% humidity.

Yeah I dont think im the first but I may be the first to actually tune evrything at a professional tuner shop. If I remember correctly people that had SC and Uni-Chip kinda just pluged it in on A map and then hoped for the best or maybe made some minor tweeks themselves. Correct me if im wrong.

I just got a call from the tune shop. there seems to be a problem with the chip. The tuner said that there are two wires that are not connected brown and pink I think. He says he doesnt know where they go or if they need to be connected. I had a feeling that it was going to have a problem because the wiring did look funky. Does anyone know why these wires are seperated and why they have connecting ends,
(both male and female) He said that they may not have to be connected but does anyone know??? please help!

hmmm...The end plug in that is in the ECU should not come out. But the 2 grey and 1 blue plug should plug right into the PnP harness.

didnt you buy this chip from me? those 2 wires were run for an n2o setup. i dont think you should have any issues. did they try to plug it in and see what happens? i never installed it on my car, but the guy i bought it from had it set up for n2o. those 2 wires went to his controller i believe. i'm pretty sure you bought it from me. let me know bc i was under the impression the unit and harness are fine. i brought it to a local unichip tuner and showed it to him bc those 2 wires worried me, but he said it was fine.
also, i believe i bought it from johntypes, he's a long time member here. he had n2o setup and switched over to emanage.

i'm pretty sure map A is normal and map B was setup for n2o. either way i dont see why it wouldnt work if you brought it to an authorized unichip tuner. the guy i bought it from bought it as a regular n/a unichip and custom tuned it to his n2o on his auto. i dont see why you cant do the same. like i said, i'm pretty sure those 2 wires are nothing to be concerned with, again, did they try to install it at all? or were they just scared of the 2 wires?
not trying to screw you over. i think maybe the shop just saw 2 wires hanging off and werent sure what to do.

Well there is a "A" written on th back, indicating that the smaller plug is A- So would it be the other bigger Plug in to the right of the smaller one?

it was set up in my car so that it was on map A (N/A) until I flipped the power switch to arm the zex system. then it automatically switched to map B.

So then I only have to use Map B then? Im confused forgive me but i just wan to make sure and be sure. So basically my car could be tuned fine only on map B... Map a should be left alone completely becasue it was already tuned for n20.. am i correct?

If you don't have No2 setup then you don't have to get it tuned. Just use Map A.

dont have to get it tuned? If A is for N20 then wouldnt I have to reprogram Map a or just use map B. I have to tune the thing to fit my application dont I?

You got it confused bud. It was said that Map A is for the NA setup only. Map B is setup for No2.
I'm saying for now just get Map A tuned until you decide to go with No2.
EDIT: Map A if for NA ONLY; not nitrous. (Unless you want the maps switched but that would be a waste of money.)

unichip has 3 different harnessed made for our cars. NA, nitrous, and SC application. i had mine tuned at unichip with update software and the result are:
all tune was done at 5.5psi
- 293whp w/SC, headers, cooling mods (92oct)
- 300whp w/everything above and unichip map A (92oct)
- 318whp w/everything above and unichip map B (104oct)
i would call unichip and see if you can get the other harness instead of messing with the nitrous one.

you probably can use the current application, but i think it will give you a headache trying to figure it out. i know that unichip changed some stuff on mine to allow it to work with the SC.

Well I just spent some money on this... so I dont see how I can buy yours enless I can sell mine. Thats just as much of a headache. My tuner is good so Im just going to have him try to do whatever he can.
