Calling Unichip Users

[mazdaowner123]

n/m on the mods, just read the first post again. was it on a mustang dyno?

 

[low_psi]

type of dyno definately needed.

 

[poboxjosh]

dyno jet.

 

[low_psi]

did you dyno it at stock boost? do you have a boost gauge/did they tap a pressure sensor into the intake manifold?

i put up 160 at stock boost. and 179 at what i called 10 psi. It spiked to 11 but only held at around 7.5 on my boost gauge.

Just send them an email asking who's in your area.
The unichip techs are your friends.

sure their your friends for a price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (laugh) (laugh) (laugh) (crazy)

 

[apocman]

our turbo uses an internal wastegate so i do not think you can just stick a bigger one in there.

you can get a that will hoild more boost, but what exactly that entials I do not know...

oh, well then those number make more sense, but still seem low. do you have the graphs for the 10si pull(s)? if you spiked from 11-7.5 i'd assume the power curve is a bit strange.

You are welcome. I am not interested in the other such functions that Unichip can control. At present, I am very happy with my car, the exception being the tire roar and impact harshness of the RE040's.

When those 140 treadwear RE040's wear out, get yourself a set of Kumho MX's. At stock size they're a bit taller and a bit plusher, but grip MUCH better, wear better, and still do ok in the wet. (oh yeah they cost about half as much as the RE040s) I think the road noise is about the same though.

I offer that advice mostly because I like what you've done with your car, so I assume we have similar taste in mods. These tires and the shifter boot are all I'll do until the warranty is up, and I'm very glad I've done both.

Thanks for the suggestion Murph. Everything you said gets two thumbs up from me, save for the "road noise is about the same" remark. My wife's Maxima had the Kumho ECSTA Supra 712's, and while they improved the handling of the car over the OEM tires, they really howled as they wore down. I really want a tire that doesn't howl as much as the RE040's.

I have been to tirerack.com and the Avon Tech M500's have received strong praise and they seem to be a rather quiet tire. They are also priced attractively. I will have to read up some more on the Kumho MX's, however, given your endorsement.

Unichip is on the way, I will let you know my thoughts as soon as it is installed.

 

[WillisW555]

I like my UniChip... haven't dynoed it yet, but the car is much smoother than it used to be.

LOVE IT. easy to install, under one and a half hour. and increased performance drastically and drivability. and I am now getting about 2 to 3 mpg better. no more hesitation at idle. the only problem I had was it reset my ecu and it had to relearn my one bov, but 2 days later its running great and I expected that.

You should have disconnected the battery when installing the box. In that much time the ECU would have been reset... That's not a problem, that's just what happens when you disconnect the battery.

Yeah I wasn't complaining, just mentioning the experience. the same thing will happen if I ever use the power switch that they give you and I reset the ecu. I must say I love it. next is for a different intercooler, stock just isn't cutting it.

not to change the topic but if anyone has good info on frontmount dimensions pm me please and thank you

 

[skilletrx]

to the guy pulling 179whp on 10psi... is it cuz u need to get the unichip re-tuned... due to all ur mods?

 

[poboxjosh]

uhh, yep

 

[mazdaowner123]

Well, I think the boost contoller in the unichip just sucks. There's a reason it's only a $50 EBC. Get a profec-b spec II and problem solved. You can run it along with the unichip just fine.
