The tuning and controlling
of the modern motor vehicle has now become a very
specialised procedure.
While
computers have sharpened the engine control and
durability, they have left behind the risk of
tampering and tuning efforts by the unskilled.
Non-franchised workshops and in some cases authorised tuners are not able to cure or troubleshoot a fault simply
because the system used in the modern motor vehicle
has become so advanced.
Making adjustments
to spark controls "timing" or fuel injection
settings have become virtually impossible.
With
the aid of the locally developed and manufactured Uni
Q Chip piggyback computer, we are able to
optimise or fine-tune almost any electronically
controlled motor vehicle.
The best technology
in the world and someone who doesn't know what
he/she is doing can never be a success.
The
people at Steve's Auto Clinic understand motor
vehicles, for this reason we are able to offer
extraordinary levels of expertise with guaranteed
results.
The new uni Q chip technology enables
us to optimise the air/fuel ratio mixture and/or
the timing of the vehicle under load conditions,
similar to that on the road.
The
fully functional Piggyback Computer is wired into
the existing Electronic Control Unit harness and
allows new information to be stored.
Once the
new unit is in place, it can be programmed to
suit any specific need, for instance if a change
was made to the engine one could calibrate the
entire control unit to match the engine.
The only
difference between the Uni Q Chip installation
and the Plug 'n Play Unichip System is the wiring
harness that enables this installation without
cutting or intercepting the original wiring.
A
good example of "tuning to suit specific
needs" is the ability to tune any vehicle
to achieve the best possible fuel consumption
while driving with light throttle and being able
to obtain maximum air performance under full throttle
conditions, where fuel consumption should not
be an issue.
We are also able to control idling, drive additional
injectors, take full control over timing functions
and remove road speed governors.
In
short, we are able to optimise your vehicle 100%.
This
new technology isfar superior
to the conventional "Chip" which is
available all over simply because your own vehicle
is individually optimised.
The "Chip"
is made in someone else's vehicle somewhere else
in another country.
There are many safety functions built into a standard
electronic control unit, which remain completely
unaltered.
We only change the areas in the rev
range or at specific throttle positions, which
need to be altered.
Since
1996, "UNICHIPPED" cars have won 31
classes in South Africa's Total Economy Run and
more than 70% of all class championship wins in
Stannic production car racing has been achieved
by vehicles using this technology.
The
only difference between the traditional
Unichip installation and the Plug
'n Play Uni Q Chip system is the
wiring harness that enables the
installation without cutting or
intercepting the original wiring.
