Bigboar Neutral Newbie February 10, 2008 Author Share February 10, 2008 (edited) Yes, using E-throttle, CVT gear box. Will difinitely go back to look for them. Dissapointed with the turner, waited for 3.5hours and took 20 minutes to tune till like that. Edited February 10, 2008 by Bigboar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryanlow Neutral Newbie February 10, 2008 Share February 10, 2008 Hi Bro, From what I know, the tuning should not last for 20 min nia. Did you off road tune or on road tune? it makes a great difference? Did you dyno before and after? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImprezaGL Neutral Newbie February 10, 2008 Share February 10, 2008 I suggest you return the unichip and ask for a full refund. Then look for a reputable workshop to do the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigboar Neutral Newbie February 10, 2008 Author Share February 10, 2008 Bloo--y hell, just down on the way home engine stalled 4 times, crank atleast 6-7 times then can start. 2 month old car only, tune till like that. HOW HE TUNED: The tuner tune in the workshop first by reving the car till red line. Then i follow him out, he kept redline the car and drove in a very dangerous manner and stop at road side a couple of time to tune with his lap top. Then he ask me to drive and immediatey i can felt the can is more responsive. Then we drove back to the work shop- whole process lasted 20 minutes. But funny leh, drive from last Monday, only yesterday have this problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did not ask me to do the dyno test leh, so don't know the gain before and after. Acyually they sell the unichip, the tuner is a freelance. tall lanky guy (abt 174cm) with curly hair, fair complexion and smoke "DRUM" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowpoke156 Neutral Newbie February 10, 2008 Share February 10, 2008 What is his name? As far as I'm concerned, Unichip's policy for tuning has always been for dyno tune. If the problem only happened recently, I suspect it's an installation issue. Did they solder the Unichip wires to your ECU or simply strip, twist the copper wires together then black tape?

Bro, i used this work shop as i actually brought the unichip from autodesign and installed in my old ride. Did not go back to them as keep telling me no slot etc, and charged me $280 for installed an tune. Chuan lee Hin i choose them as the below link give good feedback about them ans they also charged $30 cheaper and have slot. So go there and kana thie type of problem/. unlucky man. http://www.sgcarmart.com/directory/merchant.php?MID=10267 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imuya Clutched February 10, 2008 Share February 10, 2008 How did he tune your car? No dyno i reckon? Road tune? With wideband O2 sensor in your exhaust? If neither of the above, pls forget about going back. It's not the proper way. These "tuners" are just out to make a quick buck. Put some generic settings and hoping for the best.

Perrier 1st Gear February 10, 2008 Share February 10, 2008 bro, ain't you yahoowish driving a sienta? Did you check with anyone in the forum coz you didn't update us after your initial post. think you better warn the bros over there as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achtung 6th Gear February 11, 2008 Share February 11, 2008 If BIGBOAR drives a Sienta, it gets even more exciting. Why? This is because, if the tuner knows no shiet, the tuning will be reverted to default in a bat of an eyelid as the Toyota ECU is too clever for itself. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
