Dastek Unichip - Detailed Information

[Spirit]

Apologies if this information has been posted before, but it's some info on the Unichip that Dastek emailed me today so thought I would share with you:

"As you are probably already aware the Unichip is a piggy back computer, that
works in harmony with your standard ECU, it is mapped specifically to your
car, and allows the operator to program it exactly to suit the thousands of
differences from one car to next, that pre-programmed chips can't take into
account, such as cam timing, manufacturing tolerances, different fuel
qualities and pressures, and any aftermarket components. Therefore we don't
really go in for saying what power increase you will get, instead what we do
promise is that at full throttle you will have the maximum power available
safely, and at part throttle the car will be as economical as possible. At
the end of the day, all any chip or engine management system is doing is to
provide the correct amount of fuel in relationship to the amount of air
being consumed, and ignite it at the correct time, so provided that they are
equally accurate, they should all come out with the same result, providing
they are mapped to the individual engine in question by a competent tuner on
an accurate dyno. This is where the Unichip wins, as they are not for sale
pre-programmed, but mapped to each car by a skilled tuner on a dynamometer,
we don't supply Unichips to anyone who doesn't own their own dyno. If at any
time in the future, any changes are made i.e. cams, headwork etc. simply pop
back into any authorised Unichip dealer, where the Unichip can be remapped
to suit.

The Unichip offers more than just timing and fuel adjustments, we can do
more than most sub £1000 race ecu's (this is ECU only, not including mapping
costs!), such as launch control, shift lights, variable cam control, full
throttle gear changes, nitrous control, ignition correction when nitrous is
activated, etc..


The UNICHIP can be used for the following functions:
Alter ignition timing in a 3D map down to 0.1degree resolution.
Alter fuel mixture in a 3D map by +-50%.
Control variable valve timing.
Control variable induction systems.
Control turbo wastegate solenoid systems.
Record maximum boost pressure.
Record maximum RPM.
Water injection control.
Nitrous oxide control.
Automatic secondary map when water or nitrous is active.
Automatic switch back to primary map when water or nitrous is low or
de-activated
Road speed governor delimiting.
Calibration of electronic speedometers.
Conversion of electronic speedometers from KMH to MPH.
Drive additional fuel injectors, with variable blend control.
Launch control.
Full throttle gear changes.
Idle speed stabilization.
Conversion to individual throttle bodies on certain cars.
Conversion of mechanical injection systems to full 3D fuel & ignition
control.
Conversion from flap type Air Flow meters to less restrictive Hot Film
meters.
Multiple maps to suit different fuels.
Shift lights
Alter or implement rev limits
Alter or implement boost limits"

Hello,
As i said before i tried Dastec Unichip on my VR4 but it coulnt remove fuel cut. So i replace dastek and now i have Greddy e-manage. The car now runs 1,3 bar overboost and 1 bar until 7000rpm and it feels much more better than unichip.
To be honest Greddy e-manage does not have some fuctions that dastec have like :
Water injection control.
Nitrous oxide control.
Drive additional fuel injectors, with variable blend control.
Launch control.

But on engine control i believe that e-manage does better job than dastec.
My tuner makes cars with both ECU dastec and e-manage. E-manage controls the engine fuel, timing etc, and dastec do the rest, water injection control, Nitrous oxide control Launch control etc. The result is verry verry good

Wow.. bro..

U runnign stock Turbos or what?
Yours manual or Auto Transmission?
Sure can with stand 1.3 bar of boost?

I'm currently running at 1.0bar..
My tunner advise me not to go higher than 1.0bar..
