Unichip Computer Programmers and Tuners

 

The Unichip is a sophisticated supplemental computer integrated into your vehicle’s engine management system putting the power of electronic engine control into the tuner’s hands. It’s not just data squirted into your car, it’s a fully functional computer working seamlessly with your car’s engine management system. In bygone days, “tuning” engines meant mechanically altering timing and fueling… rotate the distributor body and change the jets. Tuning was relatively simple, required only basic shop tools, and “tuners” popped up everywhere to feed the need for speed. Unfortunately, as OEM engine management became progressively more sophisticated, and the factory computers controlling the engine became correspondingly more impenetrable, “tuners” became “installers” and many simply disappeared altogether. The Unichip changes that. The Unichip product line-up includes Unichip Q, Unichip Q+, Unichip Q4, Unichip X (NEW Gen 3), Unichip X+ (NEW Gen 3), Unichip Bypass Plug, V-Tech Driver, USB to Unichip Cable, Turbo Module, Boost Solenoid, Driver Module, Rev Limiter Module, Throttle Booster Module, USB to Serial Cable, Nitrous Driver, EGT Amplifier for Flux2 and EGT Probe for Flux.

The power of the Unichip also means universality because it's extremely open architecture allows it to be integrated with virtually any electronic engine management system which means you’ll find Unichips on virtually any sort of vehicle. In the Plug ‘n Play kits, the Unichips are specifically tailored not only to a particular vehicle model, but also precisely calibrated for the most popular aftermarket bolt-on’s like cold air intakes and exhaust systems. You’ll also find Unichips in 47 countries, giving Unichip Custom Tuners the power to manage virtually anything on virtually any engine. Manufacturers of aftermarket kits such as bolt-on turbochargers, superchargers, or even fuel-saving devices rely on its ease of fitment, reliability, and level of control.  The Unichip is the universal tuning chip. Unichip currently offers plug-n-play systems for Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Isuzu, Jeep, Lexus, Mazda, Mini, Nissan, Porsche, Scion, Subaru and Toyota. Accesspeed is proud to offer Unichip products to our customers. With our lowest price match guarantee, you will always find the best combination of price and selection at Accesspeed.

Stand Alone Engine Management Systems and ECU

 

What is stand-alone engine management system?

A stand-alone engine management system (stand-alone ECU) is designed to tune your engine from scratch and provide complete control over the engine tuning and performance. Standalone ECUs are available from a wide range of manufacturers and are developed with the ability to control almost any engine you want.

 

What does an aftermarket ECU do?

An aftermarket ECU (engine management system) allows you to adjust every aspect of your engine, from fuel and ignition mapping to traction and launch control, and control all features and functions of the engine.

 

How does a piggyback ECU work?

A piggyback ECU is designed to work with the factory ECU and intercepts the signal from the sensors before the factory ECU, modifies (tricking your ECU) those signals, and makes your engine perform the way you want, based on the piggyback programming.

 

Do you need an aftermarket ECU to tune?

If you just want to maximize slight modifications like air intake and exhaust systems, you will most likely be able to tune and program your factory ECM to meet your needs, using a handheld programmer or chip. However, if you are converting your vehicle into a race car or off-road vehicle, an aftermarket engine management system will work great.

 

What is a stand-alone fuel management system?

A stand-alone fuel management system allows you to set, manage and modify fuel delivery to your engine. These ECU systems are designed to achieve maximum horsepower and torque.
