32bit Dastek and Obit Unichip

[Ferrariz]

What's the difference between the 2 unichip?

Unichip is the piggyback product from Dastek. Someone is selling in Singapore, can check out the local car magazine. The distributor in this region is Viswork, workshop in JB. Rightfully, only dealer tunable, i.e. every time you change something, you need to pay for retune. There

Go to the following web site and key in "Obit" or "Unichip", there is hundreds of message about the add on chip, very technical and informative.

cant go in ley..need to register

 

i know what each of them do, but from my limited knowledge, i find that their functalities are very similar if not the same.

 

so basically one is oem one , and one is endorsed globally...right?

 

if given the same price, one should opt for dastek one, especially if there is good dastek unichip tuners ?

Hi

 

Sorry to tell, need to register. This is a site for Honda car, it will be good if you owned a Honda Car, if not it is also very informative. You can learn alot of technical staff, like tuning, modding, and alot more in this web site.

 

Happy seaching

One man tuning road tuning operation is possible with the Unichip, but not accurate (as with all piggybacks). You need a proper dyno to tell you how much power you're making in order to correctly adjust fueling and timing.

 

The software works in conjunction with the tuning pot, one will not work without the other. The software is very easy to use and well documented. To get it, you just need to be a dealer

Hi

 

In this web site, it not only tell you about the different of these chips, there is also information about what can be done with each chips, what is the pro and con, the results of those brothers who had installed the chips, their feedback, where to installed it, who can give you the best tuning and best price and etc...Some of them even show their dyno results after installing, so all are sharing their real life example and experience.

 

I do own a Honda Civic and looking into installing one of this chip, so I am doing some reserch on it.

 

Thanks

Well, that's the problem with DIY tuning. Dyno is very expensive, and you cannot happy happy go experiment some new ideas. I use those software dyno that uses acceleration and car weight to calculate torque and bhp. Not very accurate, but good enough for the "before and after" comparison.

 

The problem is not anyone can just become a dealer. Anyway, there's some "alternative" method of getting the pot and software, just need some $$$

 

Looks like my rumous information about Obit is OEM from perfect power is wrong? So Obit is derived from Unichip? or which is correct ??

I'm not sure about Obit. My knowledge is purely Unichip, since I do have the dealer's kit. Software dynos are quite alright if you're not too picky about getting every ounce of BHP from the engine. The good thing about Unichip is that you can simply do it in larger intervals (for lack of time or equipment), then get the software to tune up the rest of the map for you. I've seen it work and found that it's not too far off from what you can gain from dyno tuning, except for certain cars which have strange characteristics (like short funny dips or surges throughout the rev range).
