CitizenPro's Unichip Story

[Matrix]

Okay, I just want to get this straight, because I'm saving up for a UniChip myself.

So Map B is the stock timing, right? and Map A advances the spark timing a few degrees?

If that is the case, wouldn't cold weather be even better for Map A (I would think hotter weather would be a problem and might cause some detonation)? Why would colder weather create any issues on an advanced spark map?

Thanks.

Neither map is the same as stock. Map A (LED off) is a more conservative tune (closer to stock), while map B (LED on) is more agressive. Map A is a huge improvement over stock, even at stock boost. Both get rid of hesitation. Some cars will make more power on map B, but some cars will throw a cel on map B.

I believe that the issue has more to do with boost setting not the fuel map. The MAF voltage is being maxed out due to increased boost levels, boost spike due to decreased spool time and colder (more dense) air, causing fuel/spark cut. At least, that is how I understand it.

Yep, exactly.

 

[Fede_italiano]

Yep, exactly.

That is true.
We need different MAF. You cannot fuel cut stock. I immagine how easy it is to fuel cut at 13 psi.
I will probably get flashed and Unichip in spring.
If all goes well.

JoeP FCD here i come......i have no other option at this point. Unless i wanna throw down some phat cash, that i dont have.

 

[TurfBurn]

the MPI can kill fuel cut...

the FCD is NOT safe in any way... I worked on one for a while myself...

.....Hmmm


I Hate fuel cut with a ****** passion.

 

[irr5302]

unichip kill the fuelcut

my MSP spike is at 13-14psi without Fuel cut

2 long years of run

 

[TurfBurn]

you are also in a hot weather climate.

 

[low_psi]

Exactly. I've been holding 12psi since June w/ my Unichip. As soon as the temps dropped below 50*... HELLO FUEL CUT

 

[rocketr2]

I also had never had a fuel cut with the unichip installed, but now with the colder weather it seems like I just had one. Was racing against a Tiburon GT, and right before hitting 3rd, I get a FC, shift to 3rd and its was gone. It really didnt matter, cuz I blew his doors off by 1 1/2 car lenths, 3 out 3 times.

Ive heard nothing but bad things about the JoeP FCD....FCD's may work great on dsm's but not on a msp.

No two cars are ever the same. You need mapping done for your car and your mods. Premapped just is not 100%. Tune right, tune it yourself.

There is nothing wrong with the JoeP FCD, it does its job...that the FSs rods are weak, and people spike or run over 12psi, its not the fcd's problem. Remember you are totally bypassing the systems protection. (boom07)

Yes.. the FCD is fine.. and JoeP made a good one... but FCD's are dangerous as it basically causes the car to lean out more and more as you drive past where fuel cut would have been... you get too lean, it detonates.. and then the motor is done... plain and simple!

the only two mods i'm planning on adding to my car now are a 3" full exaust and the unichip, i say this because the unichip is tuned for intake and exaust, so as far as i know i wont have to buy anything else and be over 200 whp safely, which is my goal. I really have no idea how to tune my car, nor do I plan on modifying my car anymore than just adding an exaust and ems to my current setup so thats why i'm not really considering the mpi. What do you guys think? Would I be able to run hi-boost setting fine?

 

[CitizenPro]

I personally think you would be ok........only reason im having trouble with mine is because of my exhaust cutout, and this freakishly cold weather down here in Texas.
