I purchased the Unichip for my '02 TL-S in the first group buy. I may be trading the TL in a few months so if anyone is interested in buying let me know.

Total cost was ~$610.

 

do you guys think that we will be ready by aug 9th?

 

Nope, not by 8/9. We all really appreciate your willingness to volunteer, but nothing is going to happen unlees we get more people signed on. :'(

 

Put me on definite
thanks

 

Damn, I wish I can volunteer my TL with CAI and headers.

So does anybody know how much it will cost to map it with CAI and headers? And where can I get it done?

Keep me updated.

 

Got this in my inbox...

What's the final group buy price?? And can we order it via mail?? I live in Florida...

 

So what is the final word? Tell me where and when to pay.

 

do you guys still need my help?

 

How can we get one and what the final price?

 

Realize if you purchase a "blank chip" you will need to have a custom tune performed at a UniChip distributor (which can be hard to find), and will cost you $150-$300.

 

Guys,

I have the Unichip in my '02 TL-S and have had it custom tuned.

If I had it to do over again, I would not puchase the chip. Money can be better spent on mods that produce more bang for the buck.

I would purchase headers, intake, or pulleys. The minimal Unichip gain is not worth the investment or problems.

 

i dont know how much i would trust a "mail ordered map" everyones car runs different ly and the chip might not have the right map for your car and the mods you have. the guys over at ACL seemed to be having a number of issues with the map that were on the chip from the start.. a few of them had to get them custom tuned.. which really is the best thing to do.... the gains from the chip will also be minimal if you are NA.

 

i actually think buyin the unichip blank and having it tuned for your car is a much smarter purchase....where you do the tuning...well, thats a different problem

 

im sure it would be pretty easy to find a tuner.... im not sure about FL but here in Toronto there are a number of places that can get it done for you...... they charge about 100CDN per hour so its definately not cheap!

 

kind of interested ..I iwas thinking of a comtech supercharger ...what will the chip give us on our tl "s" type David

 

I have a custom tuned Unichip in my '02 TL-S now. It adds very little hp or torque.

Save your money and apply it to the cost of the supercharger. I strongly discourage anyone wasting their money on this mod.


If you don't have headers or Icebox, I would recommend buying them first.

 

I with waht the other guy said regarding them not being custom because each car runs different. You are paying for th RND because the price for the materials to make these chips are not expensive.

 

thank you for your advice ...I never did think chips worked that well ....I think it's a bit of a head game..I'm going for the comtech supercharger .PS I have a Tein suspension lowered 2 inches all round ..custom 2 1/2 " cat back system ...made for me by my locale muffler shop who does great custom work ..And since th &%% thing would not stop I have cross drilled and slotted rotors with HAwk hp plus pads ....David

 

if you are going with the supercharger u might just want to consider the unichip.. with the right tune u will get ALOT more than any NA car could get out of it......

 

^ Actually the UniChip and S/C won't work together. You won't want to advance timing or cut fuel with the S/C. Advancing timing and leaning things out with a N/A motor will make more power. But with the S/C you'll want to retard timing if anything to compenstate for the boost to prevent detonation. Also, you won't need to (or want to) cut fuel with the blower.

The UniChip also lacks the ability to control pulse width of the injectors (something the GReddy eManage can do) and something that would benefit cars that opt for higher than normal boost levels (i.e., 7-9 psi)

 

my bad i thought it would help!!

 

It has worked on an Accord with a S/C... although that is a different engine (lower compression, different cams, etc) With the S/C the GReddy eManage is the way to go. Contact Steve Calbert (scalbert) on the A-CL board regarding a PnP harness and preprogramed fuel maps for the CL/TL + S/C'er

 

Anyone have any more info on what the unichip is doing for the accords...

Accord V6 Unichip

 

Update: Alphawerks headers on the way. Back ordered for about a month. Pulleys in stock. Hyper Ground and Voltage installed. 19" Axis Hiros installed. That's it! As for test car: whenever things get rolling i am still down for it all!
people who need hard evidence in terms of believing if the Unichip works here you go:

*local PDXer that i chat with! good guy, pm him if you have any questions*

 

jet chip has an ecu flashware upgrade for $225 performancecenter.com they CLAIM 9-11 hp.

 

FOr all the money you TL_pers spend on upgrades, don't you thingk it would be cheaper to get a TL-S?

 

 

The idea to me is fixing up the car that people wouldn't fix up. Kind of a pride for what you have thing. I know the tl-s is faster stock but what happens when i burn him/her thinking that i am stock? that is the fun part! *SHrug* For the love of it all... something to do...? Lost without a cause? come to think of it but what's the excitement in that?!?

 

Mr steve .....I have an "S" type 2003 and out of the box it needed brakes and suspension and the power needs a boost also ..I'll be getting a supercharger ..Exhaust and headers already done......

 

Okay? Do you have a question?

My supercharger should be installed in about 3 weeks.

 

i want to be Mrsteve!!!!

 

Don't they all
