| Unichip - Frequently Asked Questions |
|
 |
| · What are the Engine Management advantages of Unichips? |
Unlike many other engine management system chips, the Unichip does not alter the cold start; knock sensors, water temperature sensors, air temperature sensors or oxygen sensors. All remain genuine components. |
A major advantage of the Uni Q Chip is that it works in harmony with the factory ECU to enhance and unleash the best possible performance result without compromising engine durability. |
|
|
| · Is the original factory ECU modified when installing the Unichip? |
| No... |
The Unichip is a supplementary computer, which is programmed to contain the optimum fuel and ignition adjustments for each individual engine. |
The factory engine management control unit is not altered in any way. The Uni Q Chip is simply wired into the existing original factory ECU chips. |
|
|
| · Is the Unichip suitable for all EFI Cars? |
Most EFI cars, whether normally aspirated, turbocharged, supercharged, with 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 or 12 cylinders respond brilliantly to Uni Q Chip enhancement. |

| · Unichip Realtime Tuning. What does it mean? |
In doing so, the technician can optimise power output at any RPM point. |
For example, if we run the vehicle at 2,000 RPM, we can increase the ignition timing to the point of maximum power before reaching combustion detonation. |
Real-time tuning describes the process whereby adjustments are made to the ignition timing and air fuel ratio whilst running the vehicle on a chassis dynamometer. |
The same practice applies to the air fuel ratio. |
We can clearly see, by watching the dynamometer power graph, what air fuel ratio produces the highest power at 2,000 RPM. |
Automotive ECUs are Standardizing! 3 Unichip wiring harnesses fit multiple makes and models. |
Keep standard Unichip stock / hardware and just download a new map / software! |

|
| · Is it safe to tune my car on a Dynamometer? |
Yes, it is safe. |
A dynamometer does not create any greater load on the engine than what you experience in normal driving conditions. |
Very efficient cooling fans are utilised to ensure safe engine temperature control. |
