Default UNICHIP install.

Installed the unichip piggyback EMS on my car. LOVE it. Im getting a little peppy power feeling in between 3-5k rpms. And i am getting about 5mpg more than normal. on my 3rd tank of gas run through it averageing 28mpg normaly 23 - 25

I will be installing bigger fuel injectors, and then retunig it, and then running on the dyno and will report back the real data.

Also install was amazingly easy, the directions were super clear and everything worked first key turn.

Also installed the FLUX2 read out for in car control

Ive got a dezod header, Injen CAi and Tsudo full exhaust, only stock part left is the down pipe and that can't be made bigger due to the channel it follows. You should get one now, see how it performs on your stock set up, and when you order tell them what CAI you wanna add and they will pre tune it for that CAI.

If you have any questions or what not contact jack@unichip.us hes a higher up in the company, and he answered my slew of questions before I ordered. I am soooo happy with it. will have dyno numbers in less and a couple weeks here. but I am happy just with the mPG increase I am seeing;.

in between 3-5k rpms I feel a peppy response more than I used to, and I feel like it revs up faster. The flux thing plugs into the obd2 so a buddy with a stock tC2 is gonna pludit in and run the 0-60 test with me driving and then we are gonna run the 0-60 test with me driving my car.

I can tell you this. In auto cross and on 1/8 mile 3 FRSs and 5 tC2s and 3 tC1 in my club none beat me in either way. granted I have the header, CAI exhaust and Chip, plus coil overs all around and most of them only have CAI axle backs and maybe springs. but the FRs stock should be able to take me stock, but again with my Dyno before the unichip i was putting down 176 which an frs is prolly doing 180 so the unichip is giving me enough to push past the frs. its no blow out like against the tC1, but that car has 20 HP less to start with. other tc2s dont fair well. (except my buddy joes whos is 323 hp turboed lol I cant touch him) IMO its worth the small amount of money, probably the most HP you can get with a bolt next to the Dezod header which is about the same amount of gains for the same amount of money.

I guess we will see how accurte I am when I dyno it. Keep in mind the new dyno will also include bigger fuel injectors.

Well can't wait to see it I'm on the fence with tuners without fi I had a 2008 Si and even the hondata flash pro didn't impress me on a stock car only mod I ever noticed a real difference was the trd s/c on my tc1 lol
