UniChip installed!
So I installed the bad boy and it's running on Map A (Intake, Headers, exhaust). I ran a few prelim runs and so far so good no CEL codes have been thrown since the chip is in learning mode right now. I'll be putting my car on the dyno this week and I'll post up results as soon as possible. I'm hoping to see that she should be pushing close to 300 to the crank and up to 250 to the wheels.
I'll keep you all updated. Wish me good luck!

NM I'm eating my own words...205-215 is probably more like it...
S/C'ed and NOS would send me over 250 whp.
type S intake manifolds, TB, cams, heads, pistons are all in good times. I'm like a lil kid when I put more crap on my car.
EDIT: I'm still going to post up results from the DYNO when that is accomplished.

I'm am interested in what the Unichip can do for you though. Are you going to be doing before and after dynos? Meaning before the Unichip, not before the tune.

Here's a quick side note from the directions:
Note: (1) When you removed battery power from the vehicle like you did when installed the PnP kit, the "learning" maintained in the ECU's volatile memory is erased. All vehicles, but especially modified vehicles, will take several trips to again run smoothly.
That in turn must mean that any modification made to any vehicle including ours, it's ECU goes into "learning mode" to adjust to what was bolted on, fabricated, etc., etc.
Does that make sense?
EDIT: The ECU has to know it's there. It doesn't make sense if it didn't.

Well, good news, no CEL codes are popping up, and the car seems to run a lot smoother. Maybe its just me, but I swear I feel more power after the chip was installed.

Look... if the ECU detected any change in timing or fuel it would make the adjustments so that the car runs as it was intended to from the factory.
The UniChip is NOT detected in any way by the ECU. The UniChip alters the signals from the ECU.

EDIT: You'd think they would make one for the 6MT. They must of had issues with it from the beginning so it's not mass produced. Hmmm.

Wow, you installed that pretty quickly. Now get that puppy tuned! Sorry I didn't get a chance to come out and meet you...I was busy seeing patients I guess.
From what I remember, they needed to have a car on-site to do testing for the 6-spd but nobody stepped up to the plate. There aren't all that many 6-spds out there anyway.

I'm getting her dynoed on Friday after work w/a tune as well. She is still running really well too. I'm very curious to see what the chip has done for my car.

Go CL-P!!!!
This guy is my hero...get those #'s up and fast, show these Type-S guys we can run with them. I just got headers for my '01 CL-P, but they are not installed yet which sucks...
obviously a Type-S is a better car, but for me personally, all I could afford was the CL-P...there was no other choice for me, so this is all I got to work off of. Solid car stock as we all know so I can't wait to floor it at 4,000RPM in second gear with the tiptronic on once the headers are in...(the headers mainly work at high RPM). I just can't wait...
The Comptech headers give "+32HP" so 225HP + 32HP = 257HP and the CL-P is a TINY bit lighter, should run like a Type-S, eh? this is what my logic tells me, but there may be more to those Type-S's than I know...

^^^^I've ran with a few Type-S CLs and I can pull away...not by a country mile but she does have some balls to throw down.
I just can't wait to install the Type-S IM, S/C'er, and Nos
EDIT: Hold on a second. When did the CL-P ever become lighter than the type-S?

I had to look....
2001 CL-P 3470 lbs
http://www.edmunds.com/used/2001/acu...479/specs.html
2001 CL-S 3510 lbs (the Type-S is a big bitch )
http://www.edmunds.com/used/2001/acu...481/specs.html
EDIT: I'm not hating on the Type-S, I'm just saying they're heavy.
EDIT 2: Even Edmunds.com is stating that the '03 Type-S auto/6MT are 3510 lbs!

The Type-S is only 40lbs heavier than the CL-P... hardly a noticeable difference
Props to you for being so excited over having what you perceive to be a "quick" CL-P. Just remember that if someone with a Type-S spent the same amount of cash on their car it would absolutely blow the doors off of your car.
I really really really have a hard time trying to justify doing engine mods to the CL-P when for a few extra grand you could have had a Type-S.
