If anyone here that has a unichip has pictures of their ECU, please post pictures. Specifically I am looking for a picture of the plug on the driver's side. Please also include year/model info. Thanks in advance!

 

Unichip will not work on the TLP.

 

But if someone with a modded TL-P were to donate their time and car to the manufacturer, it would become available correct? At least that was the last impression I got from the Unichip thread that was posted awhile ago....

 

Plug on the driver's side? ... Maybe its diff for the TL-S, but in my car all of the plugs are on the passenger side.

 

Well, actually there are 4 plugs on the driver's side of the TL-S and the TL-P is exactly the same.

The plug I am curious about is the plug on the other side. I am hoping that someone out there can show me what a '00+ TL-P looks like on that side.

I am trying to figure out if the extra pins deal with the 5 speed tranny or the VSA, my guess is that it is VSA.

Here are the 4 plugs on the passenger side.


Here is the plug on the driver's side.


If anyone can help, let me know. Thanks!

 

Oops, thanks for the info.

 

Where did you get the Type-S ECU from?

And what year is the TL-P that the ecu is off of.

I have a extra ECU but wasn't sure which model it was from, but i guess its a TL-S b/c of the extra pins







Can someone actually confirm this?

 

Maybe the TL-P Ecu was from a 99TL, it was a OBD2a vs 00+TL OBD2b
Due to that, the plugs might have changed

 

Yeah, my TL-P is a '99. The plugs on the driver's side are the same. I plugged the TL-S ECU in to confirm this.

The ecu you have pictured does have the extra pins, but I'm unsure how to tell if it's a TL-S or not. Where did you get it? I got my TL-S ecu off ebay for $10 shipped, so I just thought I would give it a shot.

 

If anyone can explain... Just got this in my inbox. Why is it that the Unichip works with the accord V6 3.0 and not with the TL-P 3.2 Based on the similarity of the two platforms.

2. We listen to our members, and we get it done. Here is the much anticipated
dyno with CL-S Cam + Unichip.... 245.8bhp/226.5tq (complete NA setup...)

* Note - this is crank HP, considering 22% transmission lost, we're looking at
191.72whp/176.67tq..
brex - wth, more than 7gen v6? and look at that torque!! omg... its producing
more at crank than 7gen... !!

3. Many members have asked if the Unichip is capable of adjusting the VTEC
engagement point. Of course it can! Below please find R&D result from Unichip:

~ FURTHER EXPLANATION FROM JACK@UNICHIP ~
Per your request, we did some testing to look at the benefits of moving the VTEC
in a CL-S cam equipped Gen 6 Accord. This chart represents the results. As
previously stated, we can move the VTEC anywhere.

For this evaluation, we turned VTEC “on” and did several runs. Then we turned
VTEC “off” and did several runs. Results from those runs are plotted in this
chart against a “standard” pull to show what impact the changes have. The Red
plots represent a standard VTEC setting with the Unichip installed. The Orange
plots shows performance with VTEC always on (transition at 1000 rpm); low rpm
performance suffers dramatically, but when the engine accelerates to ~ 4200 rpm
the cam performs as designed. The Green plot shows performance with VTEC always
off (transition at 6000 rpm); the engine intially runs great since that’s where
the cam profile is optimim, but as the engine accelerates through ~ 3500 rpm,
performance falls off significantly.

Can the VTEC be moved? Yes, it can be moved anywhere in the rpm band... a few
rpm in one direction or the other, or all the way to idle or not until redline.
Is there a potential power gain, perhaps a small one. Is it significant, no.

The stock transition is positioned pretty much where it needs to be. To compare
the significance of a potential change, the blue line represents Torque without
the Unichip. Note the maximum difference in the transition area available by
playing with VTEC is less than half the difference gained by adding the Unichip
in the first place, and is limited to a very narrow rpm band.

4. For those concerned about meeting and passing your state's smog and emission
standards, not to worry!!. Here's why . . .
Quoted by Garret (gme2001)
"Smog test with the UniChip done at a California State Run Facility, which is
the hardest and most stringent emissions test to pass in the world. My car is
running the Comptech SC, Comptech Headers, V6P ground wire kit, stock cat, 2.5”
single pipe exhaust, and Magnaflow muffler. Running 8psi of boost with the
UniChip the car is laying down 259whp. I passed emissions running 8psi of
boost."

I got mine off Ebay for $10 shipped too.

How are the plugs on the driver side the same? From the pics, the the TL-P has less pins and smaller in size.

People with 2000+ TL-P can you take a pic of your driver side ECU?

 

Oops, I really need to pay attention more. I meant that the plugs on the passenger side, the 4 main plugs are the same.
