Unichip map downloads and tuning

Anyways, with my mods, I selected the Injen CAI + All header + All catback

The only other option is Injen CAI + Catback, but I have a catless frontpipe...
Wait, is "all catback" supposed to mean that you replaced everything but the headers?

I think I've seen him say that the catback should be used if any exhaust is installed, whether it be just a catback, or the frontpipe, overpipe, and catback.

Thanks. Looks like I'll need the $35 cable then. :/

I'm trying to access the tuner database, but I'm having trouble with the links. It opens google chrome when I click "Support Department", then nothing else happens. ugh

When you purchase the cable UniChip will email you with a temporary password to access the map database. You can also access it on your phone if you download "ShareFile". Although this isnt really needed because you cant do anything with the maps on your phone... lol

Good, I thought I was just too stupid to figure it out. lol

Anyways, the car does seem much more lively even though I selected the wrong map. Second gear goes by much faster, probably improving the 0-60 by about a half second! I'll let you guys know if the Injen CAI + catback tune shows an improvement later this week.

Jack,

Any news on the Flux2 firmware update that will allow it to show oil temp? I saw you mention it somewhere

Got this plugged in last night.. Had a little panic moment when the car would crank but not turn over.. I plugged the crank sensor plug backwards. :p
Instantly notice smoother throttle across the rev range. Wanted to test drive it more but we got snow today so car stays in the garage.

Now where is that vigilant cai map?

Yes, got to be careful with the plugs on our harness, as most will go in backwards just as easily. haha

Where I noticed the most acceleration increase was in second gear; I think it's because first gear doesn't have enough grip to improve much on stock tires... I'm noticing higher mpg numbers outside of the margin for error as well!

Oh, and for anyone on the fence about getting the USB to Unichip cable when you buy your Unichip, go ahead and get it... Otherwise you'll have to pay roughly $27(in the states) to ship it separately in the future. :/

Ouch. That's like doubling the price of just the cable!

Jack - Any update on the AEM map? I'm sure you guys are busy, but it's been several weeks now.

Is anyone running the Unichip w/ a header? I just ordered the FA20Club header and am hoping the tune works well.

How do we handle CEL?

Not sure if I follow..the header I got is catted with the O2 sensor behind the hi-flow cat. It shouldn't throw a CEL. (Sorry if I got that confused)

If that is the case, that's awesome. I've heard too many stories of a CEL still being thrown.

So what product, how much, and where to purchase?

Well, I should know in a couple weeks. They said it should ship mid next week so if I get it in before the weekend, I'll install it next weekend if I have the time.

I got the FA20Club header. It's modular so it can be used as a NA, retained if I go with the Innovate supercharger, or used with a turbo kit. They offer $700 off their turbo kit if you have their header. So for me it made sense because I want to do some forced induction down the road. If not, well I got a flatter torque curve and more power. I still think I'll want more power. I just want reliable/driveable power.
