OniFactor Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 looks kinda shady. no way to control timing? and no RPM reference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boost3237 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I don't see any info on that site at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
850drag Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 looks kinda shady. no way to control timing? and no RPM reference? Umm. dont know what you are talking about? Its has full control of timing, and rpm reference. Shady???? haha thats a good one. If you guys read the post on volvo club and following the link you will realize that unichip usa just started putting the website together.. thats why I am doing a write-up on the tune and install of the unichip in my car. Unichip is a trusting company that knows exactly what they are doing when it comes to tuning any of the new volvos or any new car of that matter. If you want more detailed info on what they offer just visit My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackT5 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I think Raf looked into this for his 850. IIRC the maps had shitty resolution and if you wanted to alter ANYTHING, you had to take it back to the tuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookforjoe Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 More SPECIFIC info would be great - the SS link just has another link to here, and your link doesn't even list Volvo as a featured manufacturer... How about some hard data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipd Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Are you using the UniQ or the old school brick? The latest iteration I saw had a pretty high resolution map. The UniQ is pretty powerful but is still your basic piggy back. Does have some nice map on map features where one analog map can influence another analog map (for instance TPS influencing tip in enrichment) so you can get some good results from it but you have to see a tuner each time as the interface cable is proprietary. Software has been 'available' on ISO hunt for a few years. I personally think they are usable as you can clamp o2 signals to keep the ECU from learning around what you're doing but you'll need an extremely sharp tuner to get results close to what an off the shelf map can get you. What's the final investment look like? If the cost is right in some situations it might very well be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
850drag Posted October 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Haha Man I love how you guys just rip into the unichip after you dont even know first hand whats going on. But thats ok for the people that are actaully interested in it than keep checking back. We are using my car as the dummy since I have dropped almost 4,000 alone in trying to get my car properly tuned. Unichip is using the new q series and they have used the unichip on the Ford ST 2.5L in The Uk and many other vehicles with no failures. With the new s40s and newer volvo's piggy back is the only reasonable price wise unless you have a endless bank account to spend thousands of dollars on a tune that doesnt do crap http://www.unichip.us/21-what-is-the-unichip click on this link to read and maybe clear up what exactly it is. This once again is a project that unichip and I are putting together for our cars. Thanks Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link you gave above is a general sales blurb, nothing more. Don't you have dyno sheets or other test data to quantify your claims? It great to see more options, but more than sales blurbs are needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
