Maomaokerk Neutral Newbie September 30, 2009 Share September 30, 2009 Hi guys, Got a question need your help. My friend is selling me his Unichip Q. May I know what is the things come with new Unichip Q when buying a new one? Also any recommendation for Unichip Q tuner and roughly how much will it be like? It will be good if he got a workshop instead of freelancer. Thanks. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maomaokerk Neutral Newbie September 30, 2009 Share September 30, 2009 Hi. Is Andrew really good in Unichip tuning? Any profile or website of his? Cos he freelancer so I'm not too sure. Anyway i'm new in this forum. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway i'm new in this forum. Thanks. Yes he is a very good tuner... He tuned my car and did a really good job..the dyno chart proves it also...

Maomaokerk Neutral Newbie October 1, 2009 Share October 1, 2009 I see. Think will give him a call when I got my set. Anyone know what does new Unichip Q should come with? Cables? Harness? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyojin 1st Gear October 1, 2009 Share October 1, 2009 I see. Think will give him a call when I got my set. Anyone know what does new Unichip Q should come with? Cables? Harness? cables = harness you will definitely need the harness to splice into your current ECU setup. don't take a set (Unichip or any other brand) without the harness. it'll mean that you'll have to go hunt for the harness. if the seller says can't remove from the car, get your tuner/mech to do it.

Tailgatepro 1st Gear October 7, 2009 Share October 7, 2009 (edited) FC and power are two mutually exclusive things. if you want more power, you can't improve FC. you want better FC, you can't get more power. simple as that. it's typical mentality to want the best of everything. unfortunately, something's gotta give. if your dealer detects that you have modified your car, they can use it as a reason to void your warranty. which is why it's a good idea to use a removable harness. how much power can you gain? realistically, about 10 percent for a non-turbo application. if you have a 100bhp car, it'll probably be about 8-10 more hp. of course it'll work best with other mods like intake, extractor and exhaust. it's quite pointless to install a piggyback ECU, IMHO, if you have none of these. What if i want more power and better in FC, possible? example: less then 1.6CC car give 2.0CC car power and yet better fuel saving, can be done?

Tailgatepro 1st Gear October 7, 2009 Share October 7, 2009 tis kind of capacity cfm fuel saving.......... CFM mean? maybe can i said 1.6CC car give 2.0CC power but FC is 1.5CC consumption. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"FC and power are two mutually exclusive things. if you want more power, you can't improve FC. you want better FC, you can't get more power. simple as that." that said, you can still strike a balance... to give the best of both worlds. but relying solely on a piggyback ECU to go from 1.6L to 2.0L performance is a bit of a stretch. unless you go/have forced induction.

LOL. Yes i did read your message, but are U sure there is no car able to have 2.0L performance yet when fuel saving, it can be as good as 1.3L car???

Yes i did read your message, but are U sure there is no car able to have 2.0L performance yet when fuel saving, it can be as good as 1.3L car??? think bro you got to be more precise.. what do you mean by 2.0L performance? If you are refering to the torque generated by those 2.0L engine, (remember that's no replacement for displacement), then you may be disappointed. Unichip enhanced your engine performance by tuning the air flow and ignition timing. It will improved, but to get those 2.0L 'performance', you need more than unichip. (etc, engine mods to complement) just my 2cents... Edited October 9, 2009 by Pcc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The precise question is to this sentense " FC and power are two mutually exclusive things. if you want more power, you can't improve FC. you want better FC, you can't get more power." what do this sentence telling us? Does he mean a small CC car cannot performance better then Bigger CC without sacrifice the fuel consumption? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he mean a small CC car cannot performance better then Bigger CC without sacrifice the fuel consumption? 1. you cannot compare two engines/cars with different displacements, aerodynamic drag, mass, unsprung weight etc etc. it's comparing apples with dogs (not even oranges or pears). so i'm not sure how you are comparing 1.3L vs 2.0L engines... 2. comparing two SIMILAR cars of make, model, specs, factory tune, fuel, etc etc. cceteris paribus. and if you do a tune with a piggyback ECU, be it Unichip, Obit, Emanage etc. the results will be optimized fuel consumption. there is a air-fuel mixture that engineers and scientists know as stioch ratio. this is 14.7:1. at this ratio, the petrol is supposedly burnt completely in ideal world situations. if you want more power throughout the rev band, you will not be able to save fuel, simply because you need to add fuel. there is a "reference" air:fuel ratio of 12.5-13.0:1 where the most power is produced. the only way to save fuel (or reduce fuel consumption is to increase the air to fuel ratio to about 16:1. This is called LEAN BURN. you can do it safely only in part throttle, low load conditions. meaning you are NOT accelerating, but just cruising with your accelerator pedal slightly open with little resistance to the engine. if not, you get pinging or pre-detonation. 3. so as you can see above, if you want power, you run 13. if you want fuel savings you run 16. they are mutually exclusive. 4. further to this, most piggyback ECU can only tune in open loop mode. this is the mode where the car's ECU runs on a preset table of values rather than using oxygen sensors to achieve 14.7:1. so your piggyback ECU can only tune for power (adding fuel). it's stupidly dangerous to pull fuel at wide-open throttle at full load.

Maomaokerk Neutral Newbie October 27, 2009 Share October 27, 2009 Hi guys, I have just change my cold air intake pipe to a smaller diameter. According to what i have read elsewhere, smaller diameter intake pipe will increase the air flow velocity to the manifold which give the MAF sensor a signal of increase air in and more power produce and I did felt a difference. Anyone can advise me whether is it necessary for me to do a retune after the changes of pipe as the A/F ratio might change? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisap Neutral Newbie October 27, 2009 Share October 27, 2009 Save the dough. The changes does not call the need to re-tune. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
