The unichip that is included with the kit is more than capable. Provides much more control and features than most seem to give it credit for.

As mentioned the C or classic Unichip is more than capable for the application.

I will add that the Q Unichip is already out and that is all thet Unichip US is shipping now, we have done a couple of them already on NA and FI cars and very nice unit, one was on a built motor with APS TT. Now that is just Unichip US, since Unichip Australia is a different division they may continue to supply the C or Classic unichip with their kits although I do know that have tuned with the Q Unichip.

I think 550whp is possible. I'll be one of the people trying to hit it in my APS ST.

haha...just had to throw it in there.

But seriously, buy from any reputable shop that you trust. That is the most important thing. GRD, Japtrix, MRC....it's all good.

Nothing like a shameless plug.

Good deal. Makes me wonder how or why they decided to price them so low... makes for some tough competition.

The fact that APS ST's constitute, like, 15% of the ST Z/G market MIGHT have something remote to do with this...

I think the ST market has plenty of room for the current ST kits. However, if HKS and other possible manufacturers enter the fray, competition may get fierce. Of course, this could be very good for the consumers looking for FI if it produces price drops such as this.

After the HKS blower's impact (or lack thereof) of the SC market, I don't know if I agree with you, sir. If the EMS is locked down, except for HKS licenced tuners, upgradability is zero and the price is on par with TT setups, there may be just a couple sold to those who want to score point for being "mad JDM tyte, yo!".

I think you underestimate the power of branding of companies such as HKS and Top Secret. There are quite a few people out there that will sacrifice performance to be able to badge their car as "HKS turbocharged". The HKS Rotrex package was a significant change from the norm. People know HKS for turbos, not superchargers, therefore consumers lost interest to a degree.

I don't really intend to take away from this thread by going off on an HKS tangent, but don't count them out based on price alone.

Just like I said, "mad JDM tyte, yo!".
And this is, like, fifth direction this thread is taking, so, nothing new.
As if you didn't know that the forum users have a colective ADD and cannot keep a thread on track for more the a page.

[QUOTE=Philthy][QUOTE=Bullitproof]It's 420whp on 93. We could have made more power than that on c-16 but:

1. The car was on the dyno all day and the intercooler was heat soaked
2. The outside temperature was 90+ degrees
3. The clutch was slipping

In about a month I'll have a new clutch installed and will re-dyno on a dynojet at another shop. I stand behind this kit. It's not perfect, but just like the greddy, it can be pieced together into a nice kit.

04 G35C-APS st, scotts cams, utec with map selector,installed and tuned by Car Version 2 440whp/420trq at 9.5psi(C-16 race map)Dynapack dynoed

So you made 420whp on 93 pump & 440whp on C16? Or, is your sig wrong...

Nah, my signature says i make 440whp and 420rtrq on c-16. my sig was too long so i omitted my 93 octane tune which was 420whp and 412rtrq It was dynoed on a dynapack load-based dynometer. once i get it dynoed on a dynojet i'll post both charts.
