Unichip is a state of the art piggy-back ECU (Engine
Control Unit), designed to optimise the tuning of your
petrol car in harmony with your existing ECU. Because
every UNICHIP is live tuned to your vehicle, you can
be sure you're geting the very most out of your car
and any modifications you've made to it.
When
a car comes from the factory, it's ECU is set up with
very cautious settings from the manufacturer, designed
to take account of a wide variation in engineering
tolerances, driving conditions and environmental
factors. To fine tune each engine off the production
line would take more time money and resources than
makes sense for the manufacturer.
This
is where the UNICHIP comes in. Using the
up-to-the-minute tuning facilities of the UNICHIP we
can guarantee to give you 100% of your engine's
performance 100% of the time. What's more, using our
unique modular design UNICHIP can control just about
any performance modification you can think of,
including Turbochargers, superchargers, nitrous
injection, water injection, propane injection, launch
control, full throttle gearchanges and much more.

As
much as is possible! As every car is live tuned on a
dynamometer and every car is different, it's
impossible to quote exact figures, but most normally
aspirated (non-turbo) cars will see 7-12bhp gains,
with turbocharged cars giving anything from 20-60bhp
depending on make or model. However, no other chip
will give you more. We also gain better response by
tuning the auto gearbox shift point so that the
gearbox is less lazy. We improve the torque converter
lock-up as well for better acceleration. This effect
cannot be shown on the graph or on the dyno, but you
can surely feel your car come alive even without
driving hard!

In short, live-mapping on a dynamometer and proper
monitoring equipment. Our dynamometer is also
different from many in which ours has two rollers, one
to measure power and the other one is the brake where
we can hold the engine RPM steadily. This is very
important for tuning. On a single roller dyno, the
operator does many acceleration runs which do not
mimic real world conditions. It does not have the
ability to hold the engine at a fixed RPM. Only
UNICHIP is fully customised to your individual car, so
only UNCHIP can get the maximum performance out of
your car whilst retaining all the standard safety and
diagnostic functions of your standard ECU.

Absolutely not. All cars are tuned within the
manufacturers safety limits. UNICHIP achieves its
gains by running the engine more efficiently, not more
harshly. We also do not rev your engine pass redline
like some of our competitors.

This is the best part, No. Because UNICHIP is
tuned for maximum performance at full throttle and
fuel efficiency at partial throttle, your fuel economy
is actually likely to improve slightly provided your
driving style remains the same. This is possible
because we extract more power out of using the same
amount of fuel.
