had a magnex zorst viper thats it, the unichip can reprogrammed at any time you want, eg if you unichip your car standard the decide you want an ik just go back and they reprogramme it.
yes it can be removed it just goes back to what it was and you can take the chip if you sell your car and put it in your new car and reprogramme it to your new car.
hope this helps
Clio 1.6 16V
Do Unichip have a UK website? Interested to see if there are any approved distributors up here in Scotland. Ive currently got a MK2 172 with Magnex and 57i so looking for a good remap. Ive had good results with Superchips in the past but on standard turbo cars. Dont think Superchip will be that good for a modded car as their maps are set up for the average standard tune. Cheers, Neil
personally i did find an increase in the viper,
and flying scotsman try this link contact them and they will tell you your nearest dealer http://www.dastek.co.za/http://www.dastek.co.za/

, NeilSome information I got from Unichip.
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 cant take into account, such as cam timing, manufacturing tolerances, different fuel qualities and pressures, and any aftermarket components. Therefore we dont 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 dont supply Unichips to anyone who doesnt 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 ecus (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
SOAPSUDS i know the bloke that services my car so im ok, but if something goes wrong with yaour car think your warranty will be void and u will have to pay, make the mods after the warranty has finished, i know most of the people at my renault garage the bloke in charge who does all the work for me he drives clios on the circuit so he knows all about them but he still does all the mods for me, if i didnt know him i would be taking a big risk with all the mods i got.
does anyone know if there is anywhere in yorkshire that does this unichip fitting,i want one for my mk1 172 ,bit worrying to think that the car may not have power thats stated,then again i used to have a saxo vts mk2 which was quick and the clio 172 is noticably faster so i cant be too down on bhp if at all.
cerbera4.5 try well lane turbo center at leeds
Question for you all? What benefit would I get in chipping a 1.2 16v?? now I assume its not really worth it as the engines too small, but would really like to improve a little performance.
