Until last Friday, I only had the TRD intake in my car. Got my unichip delivered and installed it the same night.
Here are my observations:
-Butt dyno is very happy. Enough of a power bump to clearly feel it.
-car is much more pleasant to drive.
-Idle much smoother.
-Sightly louder engine/exhaust note
Pulls
-Was with a FR-s buddy to do the install, he has the Perrin crank pulley, TRD intake, and TRD catback.
-Baseline pulls were done in 3-4-5-6 gears. In all of them, before unichip, he had a slight advantage, slowly crawling away from me. In all of third gear, he would get about half a car over me. All other gears, he was also crawling, but we didn't want to go into high speeds.
-After install, pulls were done in 3-4-5 gears. Now, we didn't have much time to do them, but now it was me who was slowly crawling away from him in 3rd, more noticeably in 4th and 5th.
Conclusion
-now, as much as this is only a small sampling, the effect of the unichip seems to be greater on the car than the TRD exhaust and perrin pulley combined.
A special thanks to the folks at unichip for their excellent and professional service... Very much unlike some of the other tuners on these forums whose ''immaturity'' pushed me away from some of the other tuning options. As some users have been saying would happen to them, they WILL lose potential customers over being unprofessional, even on online forums.
Stay tuned for updates, as my buddy's car also has the unichip on order, and we'll certainly be conducting the same ''tests'' again.
