UniChip Possibilities
#281
Im definitely down for a plug and play unit... Group buy for $600 - $650 would be better...
Also if they could drop VTEC down to about 4k that would be good... Woud I really need a new map if I only have H/I....
You guys are the best....

I'd be very interested in this mod as well especially if the torque gains are significant (hopefully 7% or more as well).

I can probably ask if they would be will to drop the vtec engagement point for me. So, 4K sounds good to everyone? But honestly, our transition is quite smooth compare to 4 cyclinder Vtec cars. I'm not sure if it would really make that big of a difference.
I don't think my axel back exhaust really made that big of a difference, so I think this chip would be good for people who don't run exhaust system also.
As for torque number, as soon as I get the official dyno release numbers from Uni-Chip, I will post them here. I just wanted everyone to have the actual dyno sheet from the dyno so I ask Jack to send it to me anyway. Even without the torque curve.

As for the TLS/CL-S5AT harnesses, they are the same. This is wonderfull for the non-blown CL/TL community; which is by far the majority. As for us SC guys; we'll have to see how the e-Manage works out. Obviously we may need to adjust for things like the intercooler, etc. so a manageable system is prefered. But the Unichip looks like the ticket for most people here.

No.. thank you for pointing everyone at the right direction.
If you didn't start the thread, I would have never known that Uni-Chip US office is 10 minutes from where I live. :o
I think I might lend them my S2000 afterall. They seem to have the fuel problem under control. We'll see what happens, I'm waiting for my Aftercooler and bigger injectors.
Thanks again, Steve!

darrinb.. I sware you crack me up sometimes... If you think the gain is worth the money, why not just save some more and get it. When you limit yourself like this, you'll just end up hating yourself.
j/k...
But seriously, I don't know if it will ever hit that price at all. You need to look at some of the pricings on their site for other cars. Trust me, short of comparing our cars to FI cars with the chip. Our overall percentage gain is well above average compare to other cars. Uni-Chips goal was to to gain between 5-9%. We got about 7%. You decide if it's worth the money.

You are the man and my hero! (along with allmotor, typeR, modaddict, and scalbert for all being at the forefront.) You guys are the Bomb!
IMO, 4300 - 4500 would be about the lowest you would want to go. This would keep it on the hot lobe after a shift. Other than that, why do you need it to switch lobes sooner??
Does loweing the vtec engagement really provide more power or is the noise screwing with me??? Senor scalbert, please learn me...

Brian, did you ask when they will have their dyno up and running?
i would be more than willing to let them dyno my car with the unichip so we could see gains w/ the UR pulley set and full cat back exhaust.
i would like to see what lowering the vtec engagement down to 4500 or so would do. even though i can gate shift now and never drop out of vtec on the 1-2, 2-3.

I would be interested to see what the gains would be for my '03 CLS 6sp that already has CT intake/headers/b-pipe/exhaust installed. I'd love to get my car dyno'd and profiled with the Uni-Chip. Are they located at Sears Point Raceway?

update on chip!!
Several months ago, I spoke with Allen at Opak Racing - (707)935-3999/(707) 584-9300 about installing the UNICHIP on my CLS 6 speed. They were located at Sears Point Raceway in Sonoma, CA. Are we now talking about a completely separate deal or are the two related?

This is why I was going with 4300 - 4500 as it isn't too far from stock and wouldn't be switching over when accelerating from every light.

do you think it would be ok to spray a 75 shot w/ the advanced timing settings?

At this point, with Pulley and Catback and current map, you will see a little more HP gain according to Tony and Jack. But as far as tuning, what they said is that, they pretty much tuned as much as possible for N/A, cause I asked them if they want me to bring my car back if I get the b-pipe or something. The only thing they are really interested now is manual, and S/C cars.
I will call them to see if Tony can lower my Vtec by 300 rpms and see what happens.

One way to find out...
Seriously though, I am not sure how much they are advancing the timing and wouldn't be able to make a call. I suspect it would be fine but I would run it by Dastek just to get their input.

Undersirable side effects?? hum...
I CANNOT KEEP MY TIRES FROM PEELING OUT!!
and now when I step on it from a roll, I notice even more torque steer when it down shifts into vtec....
I guess thats a good thing...
