Unichip

  In stock: yes Unichip Engine Management produces maximum power and torque, a superior engine response and improved fuel economy. It accommodates customized tuning technology. It is fully adjustable and retains original ECU features. It is race proven, and best of all, inexpensive. Unichip is a fully programmable engine management system which allows 408 optimised fuel and ignition parameters to be channeled through a vehicle’s standard factory ECU to deliver maximum power, optimized driveability and improved fuel economy. Installing a Unichip increases engine performance, and produces significant gains in torque and power across the entire RPM range. In addition, the engine will be smoother, deliver greater response and maximize fuel efficiency at all RPM and throttle positions. It also allows the performance value of engine and exhaust modifications to be harnessed. Standard engine management systems are not programmed to cater for exhaust headers, cat back exhaust systems, high flow air cleaners, performance cam shafts, or larger turbochargers and intercoolers. Every engine requires optimum ignition timing and air fuel ratio at all RPM and load conditions. Unichip gives the experienced dynamometer technicians at CNJ Motorsport the access and ability to adjust and optimize both the ignition and fuel systems. Unichip has 17 RPM sites between 500 RPM and 8000 RPM and twelve load sites between zero throttle position and wide open throttle position. This equates to 204 possible adjustments for fuel and a further 204 adjustments for ignition timing. Power gains of 10kW to 30kW are common; however less common gains of 50kW have been verified. The exact power gain depends on the design and condition of the engine and the factory calibration of the engine control unit. No two engines are identical. Unichip results represent the optimization of each individual engine. Unichip results are verified by before and after dynamometer tests, measured at 100% throttle opening across the entire RPM range. In most driving conditions Unichip will improve fuel economy. Many modern fuel injected engines waste fuel by running very rich air fuel ratios at part throttle openings. With Unichip, it is a simple procedure to correctly adjust the 12 throttle positions and maximise the fuel economy for cruising at part throttle. Unichip is a supplementary engine management system, and as such, is far more advanced than “generic plug-in performance chip” products. It is individually programmable to meet the requirements of engine and driver. Being fully adjustable, Unichip can cater for non-standard, current and future engine modifications. Best of all, Unichip can deliver the most personalized power result every time; uniquely tuned for fuel type and rating and even particular ambient conditions of operation. Unlike many other engine management systems, Unichip does not alter the cold start, knock sensors, water temperature sensor, air temperature sensors or O2 sensors. All remain genuine components. A major advantage of Unichip is that it works in harmony with the factory ECU to enhance and unleash the best possible performance result without compromising engine durability. The original engine control unit is not modified by installing Unichip. Unichip is a supplementary computer which is programmed to contain the optimum fuel and ignition adjustments for each individual engine. The factory engine management control unit is not altered in any way. The Unichip ECU is simply installed by connecting to the wires of the original factory ECU. Most EFI cars, whether normally aspirated, turbocharged or supercharged with 4, 6 or 8 cylinders respond brilliantly to Unichip enhancement. CNJ Motorsport can service and advise you on Unichip features as we are tuning specialists and offer the latest in dynamometer technology. We can also reprogram your Unichip if you install a different engine or have exhaust modifications after your initial Unichip installation. CNJ Motorsport offers our valued customers the benefit of real time tuning, which is the process whereby adjustments are made to the ignition timing and air fuel ratio whilst running the vehicle on a dynamometer. In doing so, we can optimize power output at any RPM point. The same practice applies to the air fuel ratio. There is no need to readjust the Unichip after the initial installation unless the engine has been modified. It is nearly impossible for the Unichip data to change after the Unichip ECU has been programmed, causing the engine to be detuned. It is possible however for the fuel pressure to drop, if the fuel pump deteriorates, which would cause the engine to run a leaner air fuel ratio than normal. Other items such as fuel injectors and spark plugs will need servicing from time to time which will also change the state of engine tune. Your engine should always be tuned using the fuel which you intend to use day to day. Premium unleaded fuel will always produce the best power result, as it will allow the engine to use all of the ignition timing in the timing map. As most modern EFI engines utilize knock sensors, if you change from premium unleaded to standard unleaded, the engine’s knock sensors will detect engine detonation and reduce the ignition timing accordingly, resulting in a loss of power. The Unichip is usually fastened to the factory engine control unit using Velcro tape. The Unichip ECU is marginally larger than a cigarette pack. Dimensions are 160mm length x 80mm height x 20mm width. The time required to install the Unichip will depend on the engine configuration and whether the engine is standard or modified, normally aspirated or turbocharged, two or four wheel drive. A vehicle which is factory standard, normally aspirated and two wheel drive can be completed in three hours. A more sophisticated vehicle such as a 993 Twin Turbo Porsche may take up to 6 hours due to the extra mapping of the turbocharger pressure. A Unichip can be removed by a simple 15 to 30 minute procedure. Once the Unichip is removed the factory engine control unit is returned to standard condition. It is possible that the Unichip will be suitable for your next car, albeit appropriately reprogrammed. There are two popular variants of Unichip hardware, the Unichip Q and the Unichip Q+ which has an in-built boost controller. If by chance your current Unichip ECU is not suitable for your next car, talk to us about a trade-in offer. It is possible to have dual maps programmed on your Unichip for different applications, such for towing a heavy caravan or vehicle, or if you were about to embark on a long journey where you may not be able to obtain your normal fuel, or for Unleaded petrol and LPG. These different fuel and ignition maps are selected by the simple flick of a switch. All Unichip Products have a 12 month, unlimited kilometer warranty. So contact us today to get an estimate on installing a Unichip to your car, so you can begin feeling the benefits of better fuel economy and maximum power and torque today!
