Uni Chip of nie???

Post by Fred79 »

Hi daar julle almal!

Ek will graag weet of dit die moeite werd gaan wees om 'n uni chip in my Hilux te sit. Hy word mos daar by julle in SA gemaak en ek kan dit hier in die UK kry.

Laat weet asseblief as enige van julle manne so iets by die nuwe 3.0D4D enjin het en wat die resultate is.

Groete uit Londen

Frik,

As ek reg onthou, kry jy so rondom 140kw en 390nm met die chip.

Met die wat 'n man groter tyres aansit en accessories by sit maak dit jou vroetruig swaarder in gewig wat beteken dat die enjin moet harder werk as jy net normaal ry en as die enjin harder werk dan is hy swaarder op brandstof.

Die meer krag gaan seker help vir die brandstof verbruik, dink ek???

Ons betaal nou £1.23 vir 'n lt diesel sal nie omgee om die Hilux nog ligter op bandstof te maak nie.

Ek sal sê dit hang af van wie dit vir jou doen.

Dit was die eerste ekstra wat ek my geoorloof het op my 2.7 en dit was so swak gedoen dat ek nie eers teen die kleinste buld kon uit kom sonder om 2 ratte terug tegaan nie en brandstof verbruik het verswak met 1.1km minder per lt.

Een van my vriende wat so saam ons 4x4 het die uni chip laat in sit vir sy 1998 Prado en hy kry nou 60myl meer op n tenk en hy se die girl het nou baie meer krag. Die ouens het vir hom gese dat hy moet ook n Snorkel fit en 'm intercooler opsit dan sal hulle sy Prado weer op die dyno sit want dit saal ook glo 'n groot verskill maak.

Ek dink ek gaan maar die uni chip laat insit so teen nie einde van die jaar se kant.

Ek kannie se wat die chip op n diesel maak nie, maar ek het n chip,branch en pyp op my 2.7 vvti, en ek is baie gelukkig met die "performance", ek het op gegaan na ongeveer 124 kw 260 nm,
ek oorweeg nou om nog n supercharger ook bytesit, ons bespiegel dat ek selfs by die 200 kw kan draai, (nog onder bespreking ek moet nog verby die hen kom)

Ja nee, dis belaglik duur, maar hier betaal jy baie duur aan die arbeid. Ek het nou die dag met 'n ou gepraat wat sy eie werkswinkel oop gemaak het en die avarage arbeid charge rate is £65/ph hier in Londen. En moenie eers praat van 'n main dealer se dienste nie, van £80/ph af.
Dis so maklik hier om die accessories te koop, jy kan sommer alles online ook doen as jy wil en dit sal binne 'n week afgelewer wees, maar om die goed te fit maak jou maar suur! :sick: :sick:

Top benchmark rate in SA is tans R450-00 en dit is franchised dealers. Natuurlik ouens wat meer en minder vra.

Ek het chip in 5 afgelope voertuie gehad, petrol en diesel. En dit het verskil in almal gemaak. My 3.2 Isuzu KB het by SAC uitgestap met 187kw op die Dyno.

ek het gekry 140kw en 410N.m op my 3.0d4d. die voertuig is net baie meer lewendig en voel ligter, verbysteek is soveel makliker. diesel verbruik het dieselfde gebly vir my.
tip: moenie net 'n Uni chip laat inplug nie, hulle moet kan verstellings maak om die optimum te kan kry. SAC bv plug net in sonder verstellings.

Hi Bernie

Thanks a stack for the reply. It's around 6 grand last I heard and I'm keen to hear from someone with a D4D that has had it done, Im keen to see if it's worth it and whether the turbo lag is improved or worse.

Go Well

Hi daar!

Ek het toe Vrydag die Hilux laat chip. Hy voel nou nie meer so gevrek nie so as ek mooi ry behoort ek seker ook 'n biejtjie diesel te bespaar.

Standard run
153.6 BHP teen 3700 refs vir 1min (108mph) 228.0 lbft/2763

Unichip run
180.3 BHP teen 3878 refs vir 1 min (114mph) 268.8 lbft/3076

Moet sê toe ek Saterdag aand terug ryna die 4x4 da, toe het ek die cruise control gestel op 80mph en dit het gevoel asof die enjin net meer gemaklik loop. :dance1:

Daai chip werk sommer baie mooi, ek het hom gelaat insit omdat ek wou Diesel bespaar wat nou nie die geval is nie want ek moet nou stadiger ry om dieselfde branstof verbruik te kry. Kry net nie meer as 8.7 nie.

Maar daai Hilux trek so lekker!!!!! (dis hoekom hy seker so swaar is op diesel)

Trick is where to get the feed..... :tongue: :mocking:

Chip and Dyno settings make your vehicle run more effectively, chip providing the mapping and dyno the fine settings. Problem is the more power you have the more you will tend to use it.

This will of course increase your fuel consumption :think:

Re: Uni Chip of nie???

Post by OOOOMS »

I am no expert in this field, but this is what they say on their site:
The UNICHIP gives the properly trained technician full control over the timing and mixture functions of most electronically controlled vehicles. Not only can mixtures and timing be set, but also it can be set under various load and RPM conditions. This gives one the ability to optimise the vehicle for economy under light load conditions and set it up for optimum performance under full-throttle conditions.

The UNICHIP is much more than just a "chip". In actual fact it is a fully functioning computer which is added to the vehicle’s existing engine control unit (ECU). Apart from controlling general timing and mixtures it can do idling control, drive extra injectors, take full control over timing functions, eliminate road speed governors etc. It can be accurately described as a "Piggyback" computer.

The UNICHIP gets wired into the existing ECU harness. If it is removed the vehicle is back to standard. Unlike other after-market units if the UNICHIP is programmed with zeros the vehicle will be standard. Only areas where the vehicle isn’t perfect need to be altered.

The main difference between other after-market "chips" and the UNICHIP is that with the UNICHIP every individual vehicle is optimised. It is not just a chip that was made on one particular vehicle and then gets used on other similar vehicles.

Post by legend35 »

I took the bakkie to SAC on friday for the unichip.What a difference :thumbup: Not much more power on high revs,but much better low down torque.I did not test the consumption yet but if I can get the more power for the same consumption as before,then Im happy.

Hi guys, i am new on this forum, and thought I can contribute a bit to this thread. One of my friends has a Prado 120 with the KZTE enjin in it, took it to SAC for a chip and was very happy with the performance, because he also tow's offroad trailer. Last year I also bought myself a 2008 Prado VX 3.0KZTE and also put a chip on at SAC, and WOW it feels like a M3 when you pull away from the tollgates. Then now a few months ago my friends enjin blew, just smoke everywhere, and the vehicle only did just over 100000km. So guys watch out for SAC unichip, that was the reason the enjin blew, they set the chip to give more fuel&o2 to the enjin = more power=higher temps in combustion chamber=holes burnt through the pistons=R60000 later!! If you put a chip on and your vehicle smokes a bit more than usual when you put foot its because of overfueling, and can burn holes into your pistons. I sold my Diesel Prado and got a 4.0 v6 Prado even better power. :yahoo:

Hi manne. Ek het vandag my sac unichip laat installeer deur Stephen Fischer self. Ek is ongelooflik tevrede met die resultate. Ek het ook 'n nuwe uitlaatstelsel regdeur laat opsit en dit maak nog 'n verdere 10kw verbetering. Ek het 'n 100nm verbetering gekry. Sal later 'n volledige terugvoer gee met die kaart resultate. Hulle het 6 toetse op die dyna gedoen. Toets voor chip, toets na chip, toets na chip en uitlaatstelsel. Sal ook die volledige grafieke oplaai.

Ek het laas week my 2.5 SRX n Uni Chip laat insit. Het vandag die eerste keer met hom gery, die performansce is niks om oor huistoe die skryf nie, voel eintlik nou meer normaal vir daai grootte masjien, en ek kan dalk n speedfine of twee nou optel met die bakkie, en kan n lorry verby gaan. :|

Hey Ouens ek wil ook baie graag n chip insit, maar ek is bietjie banggat. 99% van die terugvoering is die ouens gelukkig met die chips en dan lees ek net daai een wat vertel van sy engine wat "geblow" het :cry: en ek reverse weer so bietjie.
Wie anders as SAC doen die chips?

Het so bietjie gaan snuffel by SAC se sight , hoop hierdie kan help:
