I am selling my UniChip from my APS ST. There have been a couple of questions as to whether or not this can be reprogrammed to work with a NA setup. Any authorized tuners want to reply?

 

Yes it can it is the same unichip, APS just adds the Turbo module to it.

 

I thought so but wanted to make sure I wasn't going to sell an NA person something they can't use. Thanks

 

sure about this? Ted from Scott Performance in San Jose (Certified Unichip dealer) told me that an unit from Turbo can't be use for N/A.

 

Don't see why not as long as it is a unichip from a 350Z and has the harness it is the same as other unichips, only difference is the use of the turbo module which can be removed and the load sites would have to be reprogrammed to be used with MAF as the load. One difference with the APS harness is that it has the CAS wire where the normal Z unichip doesn't.

This has not come up with us but I will double check with Unichip on Monday.

 

please check that info since i want to buy this unichip.

 

there are two version (Q for N/A) and (Q+ for turbo)

 

So If I buy the "Q" while I'm NA now, and want to get turbo in future, i'll have to buy another one "Q+" or just upgrade the unit??

can someone clarify this since i'm getting unichip very soon?

 

if you have Q then it is only for NA.but in future if you want turbo you cant use the Q,you should change it to Q+

 

Interesting..

Can someone confirm what blackend said? unichip experts please?

 

The Q and Q+ are the new version of the Unichip anything so far on the APS kits would be the older "Classic" Unichip.

 

you can ask ppl there in dubai see what they will tell you,if you are going later on to FI then dont buy unichip now cause you will waste your mony

 

anyone have the part number for the Q+ and is both the 350z and g35 version the same???


also, can someone tell me if going with the unichip will stop the ecu from going into granny mode or will it always stay open loop?

 

the new unichip, what will it include that will be so much better?

 

The Unichip and harness that is supplied with the APS turbo kits can be used on NA 350Z or G35 Coupes.

 

Right now you can only buy the new Q or Q+ unichips the older "classic" is not longer sold unless the distributor has old stock. SO if you buy a Unichip it will more than likely be a Q or Q+

UniQ p/n 2340011 List price $994.37 good for 350Z and G35
UniQ+ p/n 2350011 List Price $1305.48 good for 350Z and G35

Both are good for NA and also for FI with the addition of the turbo module list price of $ 134.07

The UniQ+ comes with PDA software and harware to hook up a PDA to it and use some additional features:
Performance calibration selection from 5 engine performance maps
- Allows the user to have and select different engine calibrations based on octane levels or installed aftermarket components. Examples: Different hardware configurations (Map 1 – stock, Map 2 Injen CAI, Map 3 – Injen CAI + Cat/Back, etc…) or for different performance settings (Map 1 – 92 Octane, Map 2 – 100 Octane, Map 3 – 92 Octane + Nitrous 75 shot, etc…)

Bluetooth TM wireless connection
- Anytime the Flux PDA is inside the car, it can communicate with the Unichip wirelessly via Bluetooth TM… The PDA can be dash mounted, sitting on the seat, or in the user’s pocket- anyplace in the car. State and Local Laws may prohibit use while driving.

Vehicle Immobilizer
- A PIN protected code prevents the car from being driven when the Vehicle Immobilizer is enabled. The specific mechanization will varies by application, but the car will either not start or will die immediately after starting. UI is essentially identical to a desktop’s screen saver. If someone tries to steal the car, there is no apparent reason (no lights, noises, etc…) why the car is not drivable.

OBD II DTC reading and clearing
- The user can read and clear pending and active diagnostic trouble codes. Works the same as individual tools costing hundreds of dollars.

Data logging
- The user can select up to six channels of data from a Flux provided list to display and record data like rpm, vehicle speed, intake temperature, coolant temperature, EGT, knock sensor response, ignition timing, fuel trims, transmission slippage, etc… Not all options are available on all applications because some vehicles don’t have the required sensors.

Performance calculation and display
- Flux will calculate, display, record, and export data of horsepower and torque from 2000 rpm through engine red line.

- Flux will display a drag strip Christmas tree light sequence and then calculate, display, record, and export reaction time, 60-foot time, elapsed time, and trap speed.

- Flux will calculate, display, record, and export 0-60 mph time, 0-100 mph time, 0-60-0 time, 0-100-0 time.

Vehicle adjustments
The user can correct speed reading for aftermarket wheels & tires

Live data display
The user can monitor various performance parameters in real time on a digital and normalized analog display. The options under live data are the same as those data logging.

 

I currently have the NA version on my g35, can I upgrade that to the Q+ by getting the turbo module?

 

The Q+ is the same as the Q except that it has two internal drivers, not sure if they are exclusively for the PDA stuff, I will check. If you have a PDA compatible Unichip you can just purchase the PDA package list price $385.19

The old or classic unichip is not pda compatible, but if you purchased it after Jan 01, 2006 you can get an exchange for a price and get the Q.

You can upgrade any Unichip to use with turbo by getting the turbo module.

 

Sorry for late reply I forgot about this thread, well to confirm we just installed a Unichip someone bought from an APS kit owner and put it in an NA G35, we just had to change the TPS load settings and it worked fine.

Not true Q and Q+ will both work with NA and Turbo, we did a Q unichip on a turbo car and worked fine.

 

damnit, the Q version is able to work with turbo? And I sold my unichip bc I thought it wasnt possible.

Also, is the turbo module the same as the boost module? If i'm SC do still need the turbo module bc I have no need to control boost.
