Unichip Q

[Chongtse]

hmm..not too sure if this was been asked before
but can someone explain to mi wat the use of the Unichip Q ?

[Tailgatepro]

if u buying Unichip Q, make sure u have FLUX version.

 

so that u can have fuel saving mode and racing mode to choose.

* most workshop here don't have, so beware

[Chongtse]

hmm..but how much will all the installation and wat tunning cost??

[Makecar]

The Q meant it was flux compatible but they said not always ..... so i asked can you tell my the model or serial number on it .. and they again said no.... so i guess i will never know ... lol.. honestly there has got to be a way to tell other than buying the flux and seeing if it works

its for tuning. It piggy back on your existing ecu.

so far i found S$850 is the cheapest. so far they said 2 type of setting. Fuel saving and Performace setup.

 

some quote $1000 and give 1 type setting

what is basically does is to fool the stock ECU by coming in between certain sensors and altering the signals. to adjust fuel, it will alter the air mass flow or pressure readings so that the stock ECU will see a lower/higher signal than it really is. this is affected by various factors, including RPM, throttle position, engine temp etc.

 

different people install piggy back ECUs for different reasons, namely performance and fuel economy. yes, fuel economy. it's not just about performance.

 

hope this helps.

hi bro, what is FLUX version??

[Webbyboy]

FLUX it not for us, it comes with a tuning kit which they don't sell outside USA.

S$850 from CHL? If so forget abt it and don't waste money on CHL.

For FC, it means deliberately making the engine run leaner right? Will that have adverse effects in long term?

most ecus are factory programmed to run rich to protect the engine from damage but in turn would affect fc.

 

tuning would not just make it leaner but it would give an optimum air/fuel ratio for your set-up. optimum air/fuel ratio does not just mean injecting less fuel. it is to get the right proportion at the right rpm at the right time at the right situation, something that stock ecus are not that capable of doing. nothing should go wrong unless your tuner tunes it wrongly until it runs too lean and blows up.

 

but if you expect your FC to drop drastically, this product cannot promise you that. e-power can. [lipsrsealed]

LOL..

 

the war is still going on in the other thread? Last saw someone wanna do dyno liao leh... cool ~

you have to know what you are doing... at part throttle and light loads, engines can safely run at 15.5:1 or even 16:1.

 

In closed loop, the engine will target 14.7:1. if you try to lean out in heavy load situations, you're asking for trouble. it'll cause pre-detonation (pinging).

 

there are no adverse effects if you do not run into pre-det...

[Cerano]

can provide workshop doing unichip bro?

[Tanshida1201]

Will it void warranty? How much power it can gain and how much can the FC be improved? Can any bro share insights? Thanks.
