Well i have had the unichip for 2 months now in my basement collecting dust because my car is in the bodyshop, i have not heard of any great gains from it so i am thinking of selling it and getting the supercharger, what do you guys think? i paid $708 for it because i have the nos map.

 

should go in the black market...

 

If you want, then do it I guess .. but I can assure you as I've said in the thread, that with the right map the chip DOES provide very noticeable gains.

I feel alot of extra torque down low, and crisper throttle response. The car all around feels more peppy. The extra torque is felt right from the line, all through the midrange, then when I hit VTEC its like I installed headers all over again. The car just PULLS, PULLS, and KEEPS PULLING real hard, straight to redline.

However, getting that right map may be a bitch .. its hard to tell.

You may have the right map right out of the box, or you may have to send in for a remap. Have you ever had your car dyno'd with A\F map?

Edit: I see your from NJ, if your close by you can take the car for a ride and see the difference.

 

blader, no i haven't even put it in the car yet.
Darrinb, i am not selling it yet, i want opinions if i should or not, if i was selling it i would have put it in the black market.

 

I am in union

 

lol, I meant you could take MY car for a ride. to feel the difference.

I used to live in Union, and Cranford, kinda by you ..

I live on the jersey shore now.. kind of a ride. bout an hour.

 

the only thing that sucks is that nobody really wants to buy one... i had mine for sale for a while and ended up just returning it to unichip and got a refund less my deposit... i know of a couple people have returned their chips...

 

Blader HA! Iknew you thats what you ment, i thought you were asking if i had the car dynoed with the chip in it, if i did take it for a ride i wouldn't know how it would compare because i haven't drivin mine in 3 months, but thanks anyway for the offer it just seems not to man people are happy with the chip so i don't know what to do

 

Randys did you and blader compare reviews or did you just always have problems with it?

 

Randy and I could've compared but he never installed the chip. He just returned it .. I never had a problem with it besides not having the right map; no CEL's or any other malfunctions.

 

Blader, I think you might be the only one who has seen impressive gains with the chip. I was considering selling it too, but I don't think anyone is that interested in it. I haven't had any problems with CEL's or anything but i just don't feel any gains from it. the only thing i have noticed lately is i am getting better gas mileage. normally i would go to about 150 miles and be on 1/2 tank. now i can get to around 180-190 miles before getting to 1/2 tank.

 

yeah it appears that way. because of that you guys keep making me think its all in my head but I know for sure that its not. everytime I floor it I know the gains are there.

 

I don't know what to do, maybe i should just give it a chance. i just feel like it was a waste of 700 bucks

 

Its hard to say, its hit or miss. You may have the correct map right out of the box, or you may not.

If I had the same map I have now right out of the box, I would've been

but the gains are worth what it took to get the right map.

 

try it, you have nothing to lose, the market for uni-chips isn't exactly huge

 

The gains will be there with the right map, and especially with a custom tune. That's what I was going to do before I got the S/C.

 

Ok you guys talked me into it, I will give it a chance God i hope it works good!
