N3misiS · 05-25-2009, 03:00 PM

THanks Kioshi, and what you say is true, when the guys asked me do I want I chip, I imediatly thought of You guys, just Maybe I can get something done about it...

I am not new when it comes to tuning a car, and the guys here do have the correct arguments... but its wide, and I want to close the gap...

A hell of a lot of info I have gotten from here and tanks to YW!!!

Ill do my best.

If there is one thing i know about technology is that it always advances. So What was once impossible has now become childs play for a 3 year old. Hackers have hacked the most impregnable systems...so i think they might be able to do it. There are alot of smart people out there.

So how are they going to re flash chips that are not made to be re flashed?

by "copying" the "information" from one ROM, and "copying" it onto another, writable chip.

You guys still don't get it.

To "read" the code, you need to have the native language and assembly environment. So unless someone's stolen this from Toyota, the data on the ROM is useless.

FYI, you cannot add new data to a simple ROM. EPROM? Yep. ROM? Nope.

Good News Guys,

We can chip the Yaris, expect a 12 to 13 percent performance increase, as soon as I can get the cash I will do so, if you guys want more info or proof contact Unichip, they
have already chipped a few here in SA.

Let me know if there are any problems.

I wouldn't expect anymore than 10hp to the wheels with no mods...and that's pushing it. Sniper Tune here in florida had unlocked the ECU for the miata(NC) and gained 10hp with no mods and that's on a 2.0 engine.

Didn't Garm already try something like this?

So?? what the hell is that suppose to mean?

hatchbackkid82 · 06-02-2009, 12:32 PM

I was asking b/c I'm pretty sure he tried something very similar to this and it didn't do anything as far as hp went. it was the old placebo effect

Deltasix · 06-02-2009, 12:50 PM

I believed he tried it with one of those random ebay models

hatchbackkid82 · 06-02-2009, 12:57 PM

Ahhhh ok thanks. I knew he tried something

I bought the cheap thing from eBay, then opened it up to find a single resistor.

My understanding from the post above is that we are not talking about unlocking the ECU, we're talking about a piggyback like the UniChip.

If this person is talking about a UniChip tuned for the Yaris, that has some possibility. However, at least here in LA (which is pretty big), there are no UniChip tuners. My impression is that UniChip is much more popular overseas for tuning.

So, this option would have to come already tuned with a plug 'n play harness for the Yaris. The UniChip, while not cheap, would probably be worth it if it can provide 15%+ power gains as quoted.

N3misiS · 06-03-2009, 07:46 AM

Hi Guys, Cali, you are corredct again...

Unichip is extemly popular over here and there is a plug and play harness, it is like a piggy back but there are more options, you can play with timing ignition and vvti and the usual but you can have a wasted spark unit as well, change cams, and keep the performance upgrade!!!!!

And then for the boosted Yaris owners it should be good news, it is not that expensive and the gains and power over your settings is definitily worth it...

they are sugesting that I "Chip" the car, it is basicly a direct ad on for the Bosh ECU,

If it helps, I noticed the engine code 1KR-FE, This is a 1.0l 3 cylinder engine, not available stateside.
