I emailed unichip today to see if I could run the TRD supercharger with the unichip since most kits are for manuals and dont have the auto ECU. They said they have a map available but I am curious if anyone has used a unichip for forced induction and if it is an okay choice for me? Im trying to get setup for forced induction whether its turbo/SC(on a budget). Im new to car modding so that's what is stopping me from going turbo (and im on a military budget;])

 

unichips can be tuned. The tricky part is finding a shop with the softwear and knowledge to do it. Unichips use to be used on the turbonetics kit.

 

I have confirmed Unichip does have a tune for the stock SC setup but after talking with them they said they would be able to tweak the tune for a smaller pulley. Obviously not as good as tuning it on the car but it sounds pretty good for the SC crowd.

I am going to take the plunge and get it with their tweaked tune since I am running the 9.5 pulley. I will find a place in town to get some before and after dyno numbers. Hopefully my kid isn't born before I can get some dyno numbers.

 

Let us know how it goes. Been looking for something like this for my s/c. I got the 9.5lb pulley, intake, and hks exhaust.

 

In for updates.

 

watching....

 

interesting!

 

Any updates on this? I need a solution here. Since the TRD reflash makes the ECU very difficult to tune. Really what I want is to run an 11.5 lb pulley with meth injection, but without the ability to advance timing meth injection is essentially pointless. And from what I understand the AEM FIC can't pull timing on TRD reflashed ecus. So basically I just need something simple so I can run a 9.5 lb pulley i/h/e and a more aggressive tune. Hopefully the unichip can accomodate this setup. Keep us informed!

 

When it works, the FIC can retard timing on any ECU with MAG or HALL crk/cam sensors by delaying the crk/cam signals but it can never advance timing, which is what you want.

 

I'm getting mine at the beginning of Dec. but as the other guy said FIC will do it but depending on your tuner, it may fight him tuning.

 

I'm very certain that if you already have the TRD tune in your ECU, then the unichip is going to have the same problems as all the other piggy backs out there, the OEM ECU will just relearn and re-adjust itself and your car will start to run weird, don't you guys think?

 

May be the case but how would unichip be able to sell a set profile if they didn't have it working properly? Guess we will find out soon lol.

 

any news on this yet? I just contacted unichip about producing this 9.5 lb map, and hopefully having some added timing so we can makeup some of the power the ____ reflashed ecu rapes from us.

 

^ what did unichip say to you?

 

Mines otw, unfortunately I am going to still need a small tweaking done at the unichip tuner since I want to use my weapon R intake and they don't have any data on it. Hopefully after I am done with mine anyone could get my profile with the weapon R intake.

 

so yours is an auto? Your map prob wouldnt work for mine cause I'm a manual, which sucks. The closest unichip tuner to me is like 1 lightyear away, that's the only bad thing about unichips. I wish p-tuning tuned on them, I'd make the 4 hour hike.

 

I am manual as well.

 

Oh word, what other mods you got? Is unichip sending you a tweaked tune for just the 9.5 lb pulley and no other mods? Is there some way I could like get a copy of your map? That would be sick.

 

Just the weapon R intake and magnaflow exhaust. Exhaust isn't a big deal tune wise, but yes unichip is sending a tweaked 9.5 tune to the tuner closest to me. I am going to make sure whatever I end up with is copied off so others can get it if they want.

 

^I have the same setup. Intake, exhaust, 9.5lb pulley, manual. I hope this can free up a lot more power for our supercharger's.
Hopefully AZGuy can get us something.
