Gonna run the 93 map and Shell v-power. Tweaked for TRD CAI and Borla mods.

 

Although I doubt you will, try dynoing it before you install it then after you install it. Otherwise, this thread doesn't leave much to say...

 

I'd like too, but the dyno's around here have dried up. Ill try and see if I can find one.

 

Yeah, hopefully. Although unichip provided a dyno, it is sketchy at most. Other than that, all the others who have installed it (not many) have said that they FEEL a gain, but that's not always accurate as it can be anything, especially a placebo effect.

 

Agreed. I did see some before and after's with tC superchargers, but the numbers are prob much great than youd see on NA.

 

Yeah the skepticism lies in the fact that its easy to gain power through tuning on cars with Forced Induction, but when it comes to natural aspiration....I don't feel you can gain much. I recall the dyno on the unichip website not only being in crank HP, but also a comparison of a stock car vs a car with bolt ons and unichip. That doesn't make too much sense since the bolt ons themselves add a bit of power. I know the unichip is meant to help the potential of those bolt ons, but it's not right to say the unichip adds XX WHP unless they compare bolt ons to bolt ons + unichip.

 

Found a place that all the round track racers use, that I did not know was still open. They are, and have a dynojet. I'll be getting the baseline done tomorrow at 9am. It's $80, I get 3 runs and they check to see if its running rich/lean. Ill then reset the ecu next week when the Unichip comes in, run a few tanks of 93, and then head back over there. Baseline tomorrow will be with TRD CAI, Borla and 87 octane ethanol free Chevron. Will prob run eth free Chevron 93 for the chip test to be fair.

 

Excited to hear about this!!!

Where did you buy the chip?

Post up dynos soon

 

i think the unichip was made to get the full potential out of your bolts on's,some say they feel little to no gain,others sayed they gained about 10 whp with a tune,im not sure,i just wish when they sell these things they have dyno graphs before and after the install with different bolts ons and such

 

Yeah, I figure it's time to put the rumors to rest and put up some facts. Ill dyno the car as is tomorrow at 0900, and will post dyno's tomorrow when I get home. I figure 2-3 weeks to get thru a couple of 93 octane tanks, then will run another dyno.

I got it from Sparks Toyota

 

My order specifically requested a tune for TRD CAI and Borla catback. For the price, I'd like to see 5-10 hp at the wheels.

 

yup at least 10 im hoping for

 

Personally, I'm hoping for +10 HP for you, seems like +5 would be a little underwhelming ! (Course, that's just me .)

 

Yeah, for the price. I know they claimed 14hp at the engine, so we'll see. if I got 8-10, id be happy. Be curious to see what my baseline is tomorrow.

 

Watching with great interest.

 

Well, here is the car on the dyno, in case some genius tries to doubt me later.



Dyno sheet coming shortly

 

Here ya go. 81 degrees on car temp readout, and we tried two types of run. First was 3rd gear and starting at 3500, and then 2nd gear starting at 3500. He said it was more smooth with the 2nd gear start. It put a grin on my face during the 3rd gear run, because when I left off the gas at 6500 rpm's, I was doing 114 mph

 

Wow, and that's wheel measurements with the Borla Dual catback and TRD CAI! I like how smooth and balanced the HP and Torque are over the range. Nice !

 

Yeah, he thought it was good for an auto, because he asked me what the stock numbers were. I don't really know either way , its like looking at stereo instructions to me. The smooth line is why we stuck with the 2nd gear run. The 3rd gear run was not as smooth.

 

Well hopefully you get your money's worth on the unichip. But definitely let us know...
