Latest Unichip Version Q

Unichip is a state of the art piggy-back ECU (Engine Control Unit), designed to optimise the tuning of your petrol car in harmony with your existing ECU. Because every UNICHIP is live tuned to your vehicle, you can be sure you're geting the very most out of your car and any modifications you've made to it.

When a car comes from the factory, it's ECU is set up with very cautious settings from the manufacturer, designed to take account of a wide variation in engineering tolerances, driving conditions and environmental factors. To fine tune each engine off the production line would take more time money and resources than makes sense for the manufacturer.

This is where the UNICHIP comes in. Using the up-to-the-minute tuning facilities of the UNICHIP we can guarantee to give you 100% of your engine's performance 100% of the time. What's more, using our unique modular design UNICHIP can control just about any performance modification you can think of, including Turbochargers, superchargers, nitrous injection, water injection, propane injection, launch control, full throttle gearchanges and much more.

• Variable valve timing adjustment

• Rev limit adjustment

• Boost limit & level adjustment

• Five individual maps which can be switched on the fly without any glitch

• Water Injection mapping

• Nitrous oxide progressive injection

• Bigger/supplementary injector mapping

• Variable manifold flap switching

• Launch control

• Full throttle gear shift

• Anti over-DRifT control - push a button to tuck the rear back in when you over-DRifT!

• Road speed limiter removal

• Speedo conversion for non-standard wheel size

• Shift light

• Idle speed stabilisation for engine fitted with hot camshafts

• Automatic gearbox optimization

• Improved torque converter lock-up on automatic cars

As much as is possible! As every car is live tuned on a dynamometer and every car is different, it's impossible to quote exact figures, but most normally aspirated (non-turbo) cars will see 7-12bhp gains, with turbocharged cars giving anything from 20-60bhp depending on make or model. However, no other chip will give you more. We also gain better response by tuning the auto gearbox shift point so that the gearbox is less lazy. We improve the torque converter lock-up as well for better acceleration. This effect cannot be shown on the graph or on the dyno, but you can surely feel your car come alive even without driving hard!

In short, live-mapping on a dynamometer and proper monitoring equipment. Our dynamometer is also different from many in which ours has two rollers, one to measure power and the other one is the brake where we can hold the engine RPM steadily. This is very important for tuning. On a single roller dyno, the operator does many acceleration runs which do not mimic real world conditions. It does not have the ability to hold the engine at a fixed RPM. Only UNICHIP is fully customised to your individual car, so only UNCHIP can get the maximum performance out of your car whilst retaining all the standard safety and diagnostic functions of your standard ECU.

Absolutely not. All cars are tuned within the manufacturers safety limits. UNICHIP achieves its gains by running the engine more efficiently, not more harshly. We also do not rev your engine pass redline like some of our competitors.
