Re-mapping of Unichip

Installed the chip locally by a 'famous' local tuner who claimed to 'Maximise' your ride performance. Subsequently went back to him to re-tuned for various time and still not satisfied.

 

Piss...so took a day off and went to viswork to do re-mapping and dyno. Here's the result:

 

Power (BHP)

=====

RPM Run 1 Run 2

3000 46.0 50.6

4000 66.5 71.8

5000 79.2 84.2

5500 85.0 89.3

6000 85.6 91.6

6500 87.1 93.1

 

Torque (NM)

=====

RPM Run 1 Run 2

3000 109.2 120.1

4000 118.4 127.9

5000 112.8 120.0

5500 110.1 115.7

6000 101.6 108.7

6500 95.4 102.0

 

N.B. - Run 1 (tuned in Spore), Run 2 (tuned by Viswork)

 

The result speak for itself. Over the whole range, Viswork still managed to squeeze out add 4-6 horses from the initial tuning by the local man. I am not doing advertising for Viswork, but just to remind all out there that Viswork charge a premium price for a reason. So dun end up like me paying more $$ to set things right.

 

Now the drive feel is so much better and smoother.

That's very good insight.

 

I was juggling between doing it here and at Viswork as well.

Thing I like about Viswork is Dyno tune is a standard.

 

Whilst our local "Maximiser" keeps quoting his pricing only for BUTT TUNE.

You want DYNO, top up $$.

Still seems like his output is not so good.

 

I think somewhere in the UNICHIP Installers' Pledge.

They are supposed to tune cars with DYNO. no such thing as tune with butt & feel.

 

was considering doing local. just cos its more convenient. but no point if result is no good.

looks like I might actually take the day off and go Viswork instead.

[nod][thumbsdown]

 

that's sad. there's a thread somewhere about him on MCF.

How he's very bo chup about tuning standard/quality.

but people still flock to him anyway.

 

was actually down at visworks this afternoon. just to checkout their setup.

 

how much did they charge for tuning alone?

was half considering getting a 2nd hand unichip, and have them tune it. maybe buy a new turbo module from them.

not sure if the savings would be significant tho

Good info sharing! [thumbsup]

 

From your dyno chart and user-nick, I guess you are driving a Mit CS3 Lancer? [sly]

 

If yes, can email me at [email protected] cos I need to ask you on the tuning of Lancer.

 

Many tks!! [laugh]

Different dyno machine gives different readings.. even on the same car. BTW.. I am not advertising for anyone :)

has anyone got stories about visworks screwing anything up?

that's the usual worry with stuff like unichip and other ECUs - drive halfway, problems come out, then hopefully can still make it to JB to get it fixed ...

 

think that's why a lot of people end up doing in singapore, mainly cos of the fear, and mainly cos visworks only open office hours right? do they do after office hours?

 

i did it with the Maximiser as well ... and also not pleased. add me to the list of dissatisfied customers. based on what u guys say, i'm very intestested to try visworks if i can spare the time. i hope they also have an affordable price for install AVCR + retune unichip.
