Interest in a unichip ecu tune ?????

[blacksandiegovitz]

Hey all,
I contacted unichip to see if they had a tuner for the yaris and this is the response I got back from them:




Hello Jay,

Thanks for the enquiry .

We do hundreds of hardwire installs & custom tunes of our Unichip on Yaris's elsewhere in the world. It's quite possible that we already have a Plug 'n Play harness in our inventory that will fit the Yaris , but we haven't done any of the tunes for the various bolt-on accessories for the Yaris . The reason for this is that our kits are far more advanced than other programmers on the market : we sell a complete computer which is tuned to your bolt-on's but also renders your ECU fully programmable , often beyond that which a standalone system offers but without the hassle . The "other guys" sell a computer program housed in a fancy plastic case . So basically we're more expensive than other programmers & it may be so that we're priced too high for the Yaris.

We could be wrong though , so if you're memebr of a Yaris Forum Group , why don't you do a survey & see how many takers there'd be for a say , 50 member group buy for our kit , based on a special selling price to the forum members of around $450 ?

Let us know , we'll assist as best we can.

Best regards,

Marinus Kuyl.
Unichip of North America Inc.

Lets start a list , put your name down if you need/would buy a programable tuner for your yaris

I would like more info and the capabilities of it before i would make the purchase though.

I'm interested, but I do want to see a dyno b4 I consider shelling out the cash.

this is an interest thread tamago...not a non-interest thread.:tongue:

[blacksandiegovitz]

try 2-3hp

Common bro @ least 5-10 whp with header/mid/axle back, intake and pulley's . A ture 120hp to the wheels just n/a with bolt-ons would be decent Imo . O.k What do you think about Camcon then?????

[mikenacarato]

works for me. :)

[cali yaris]

I have a used UNICHIP I'd like to get rid of. It came off a tC -- will sell for cheap.

how much? is it programmable? what year tC? model number?

[PETERPOOP]

50 members for $450 each? eek

[BLAZINBLUEVITZ]

50 members for $450 each? eek

and for at most 8 horsepower where a mini cooper S is claiming up to 30 with pullies and intake:iono:

[Kioshi]

If they can give us a tune ecu chip that puts out 25-30 whp, including header, axle-back, all under-drive pullies, and CAI.....

Then I'm in, and willing to put down $450....

Need more details and dyno chart of this chip on a Yaris before... or maybe they can have one of us test one for them~~

[PETERPOOP]

Get them to tune one for a blitz kit + bolt ons, with proof and impressive gains, and i would think they could have atleast 15 people buying one (including people who have a blitz kit, and people who would buy one after knowing you can get more power with this chip).

[eTiMaGo]

I think it was lost in the hack but I remember a local guy posting here after a unichip install, with dyno graphs showing some decent gains... I'll try and dig around the local forums as best I can for more info :smile:

[PETERPOOP]

Getting a FI tune to accommodate the 1ZZ injectors and TB could have potential...


Cheers

that would be nice (since i am using both). :thumbsup:

[dallas]

If they do a tune for (basic bolt ons CAI,Header,Catback exhaust, and prove some decent gains Im in too. I liked the suggestion above to do it with injectors and bigger throttle body, and basic bolt ons, that way there should be decent gains.

[largeorangefont]

Figure ~10 WHP gain with all basic bolt ons. closer to 15-20 WHP for the supercharged or turbo guys.

[marcus]

i just notice the unichip is normally doing big engine vehicles ..i dont think they can do much for the yaris though..5 hp maybe..just my thoughts.

now $700 cnd for 40 whp on a vw gti is well worth it..

if it's 450 it'd better come with computer software and a harness to connect to the OBD2 port...then i'd be in.

i know it's got nothing to do with yaris but camaro/mustang tuners out there are about 300 bux, and you hook up YOUR house computer or lappy to the obd port, and they provide software. anyone can edit anything the computer controls. from FI duration to shift points, rev limiters and high speed cutoff points. anything the computer controls. and with all the support from forum members it's as simple as tellin what you got and someone else tellin u where you need your points and durations set. a simple timing adjust would probably net close to 10hp on the yaris...and a serious timing jump and a 91 octane tune would likely get 15-20

[cali yaris]

it's got nothing to do with yaris

correct. What you describe would be AWESOME for the Yaris.

[intake]

IS IT GOOD FOR THE 2SZFE?

[scape]

we sell a complete computer which is tuned to your bolt-on's

not everyone here has the same bolt-ons though, what does that mean then? i'd like to get this now, and get bolt-ons and retune it later with a laptop and their software; if that's possible...
