Use one for my N/A Z. Must do what it's supposed to do because the dang car is an animal, of couse it has lots of the other mods. But luckily I'm fortunate to know the right shop with the right dyno with the right Unichip factory trained technician.The shop has finished a lot of APS installs and still used the Unichip in all of those. Even the one they did that put's out well over 600whp. Anyway from my experience with the unichip I can't say anything bad about it for what it's doing for my Z. I think a big part of it is the guy who tuned it, though.

I have unichip still.

It has all the "basics" covered. Timing mods, fuel mods, etc...

However it is a closed system and requires 1980s software, and dongles to program.

So if you need tunes often. (Because you change base things in your car often.) It isn't for you....


If you tune it up and let it stand for years at a time... great.

I have it. I hate it.

Its the only thing holding my car back right now.

The closest Unichip programmer is over 5 hours away, and I haven't been able to free up time to make the 2-3 day trip to have my car tuned. I just hope I don't blow it up waiting to get some dyno tuning time....

I have it running my Greddy Twin Turbo. I switched from e-manage to unichip and the car is running so much smoother than the greddy emanage. It feels like a new car! My car pulls much harder now since I added the Unichip.
