Unichip - TundraTalk.net

NOLA_1906 · 07-11-2008, 12:34 PM

After discussing the Unichip in a thread that has run its course, I figured it best to start a new one. For anyone interested in the Unichip, please send me a pm, or post below. Here is some additional info for those waiting on dyno charts to decide.

We’ll release some official numbers in the next week or so. On the dyno side, the issue isn’t making the power but trying to prevent the transmission from downshifting during the dyno pulls and messing up the numbers. Whatever claims may surface, nobody will make more power. There only variables for making power are (1) compression, (2) timing, and (3) fuel. Since the Tundra is normally aspirated, the first is fixed and we can set the other two where ever we want. The truck is pretty rich so I think we’ll see some nice numbers once they’re ready for release.
By way of preliminary numbers, a bone-stock truck is 0.3 seconds quicker from 0-60 with the Unichip. Our fuel testing numbers work out to ~ 15% when towing 4,000 lbs at 65 mph with the cruise control on. If you’re on and off the gas, in and out of traffic, you’ll be more down in the 8-10% improvement range.

I have been privy to some info that I can't release yet, but trust me, this tuner will make some impressive numbers. You won't be disappointed.

I would be interested in it purely for the gas mileage improvement

cant wait to see the #'s

rmjdrift · 07-11-2008, 04:13 PM

Keep us posted, gas milage is very important

08 LIMITED CREWMAX · 07-11-2008, 05:27 PM

I wanna hear more!!!

sxd45 · 07-11-2008, 05:31 PM

I want a wideband tune

rmjdrift · 07-11-2008, 05:57 PM

AS long as it is programmable we will be able to tune it. Most dyno's have a wideband built into their dyno, the dyno we use does. You can also easily install a wideband gauge, AEM makes a killer one we have used on many performance car apps including our pro drift car.

Just wish there was a full write up on the features and programmability of this unit.

I wish the Yota could use HPtuners or ls1 edit, that would be sweet!

08 LIMITED CREWMAX · 07-11-2008, 06:11 PM

Shit Yeah ^^^^^

Siggman · 07-11-2008, 06:39 PM

I have never been interested on these type of modifications and I have to admit I am completely ignorant about them, but I guess I might be interested in the future especially if we can get some extra mpgs out of every tank. Has anybody experienced with any tuners in other vehicles, are mpgs gains real?

2008_CrewMax · 07-11-2008, 08:16 PM

yes mpg's are for real .. they have been for others cars ive had ecu tuned before anyway

Mercury · 07-13-2008, 09:25 AM

Crewmax is on. Just remember numbers are based on alot of variables and the biggest factor is you. If your heavy on the gas....if you set cruise at 65 every chance you get...etc.....

Once you get tuned and if you can control your shift pts and take some time to play with everything, There is no reason you cant get ...20 or more out of a gallon??

Deznutjob · 07-13-2008, 06:20 PM

Did anyone else PM "NOLA 1906" and not get a response like me?
