SAC Unichip Mod

[Afzal]

Hi Everyone,
After having emailed almost every reputable tuning house in the country, SAC's came back to me with some positive news. they have been developing the unichip maps and is now available.


i have spoken to Heinrich who has told me he has already done a few, and he's got someone booked for wednesday next week, he will send through the dyno's when he's done.

my question is, who's got it done already?

when i asked about power gains he sent me a pdf from the USA, the guys there got 217.9hp OTF, with no other mods.

what do you guys think? and who's booked for wednesday?

There must be some miscommunication,somewhere. 3 weeks ago I went into SAC and they advised still under development and expect to release this mid 2013.
Will go past again and check, and lets see who comes forward????

[Afzal]

this is from the kyalami branch.

It would be interesting to see how the chip + remus work...

[Ryan86]

Confirmed you are correct, the chip is still under development, however SAC are fitting to the 86 already. Claim with OEM exhaust 8kw additional on Dyno. With a new exhaust system 15kw.
Roughly R4500 installation with Dyno before and after printout.
Going to try this with the intake and works DIF, hopefully get some good response.

Ryan 4500? i got a quote for 6500.

[Ryan86]

Yes R4500 for the chip. Just called me back quoted full performance exhaust Viper R5700. From end manifold to rear.

Has anyone contacted dastek directly about this?

Lol

I gonna delete that post now...... ok ok, i will email them.

2 things
1) I wouldn't go unichip
2) I hear the ecu can be flashed

[Afzal]

dont want to flash the ecu, leaves a trail which the manufacturer can track unichip can be pulled out before a service. wont affect warrantee

[Crewzern]

SAC....no comment.

IMO....The only way to judge if any performance mods done on the 86 works is to get a baseline on an independent dyno and dyno again on that same dyno when the mod is done to see the difference.

Dyno's vary and can also be manipulated.

which branch quoted you 4500? got their details?

[Afzal]

guys again, i have found out about the differences between the 4500 and 6500 install, please see below in his own words
"R 6 500 is for the plug n play ( removable) version, R 4 500 is for wiring the chip into the cars harness ."

i definitely would pay the extra for the plug and play unit. let me rephrase that, i am definitely going to pay the extra.
