Piggy back ECU

>135I · 04-13-2009, 08:15 PM

I have been in contact with Marinus Kuyl from Unichip of North America Inc. and he has agreed to let us do a group buy for Unichip's soon to be released piggy back for the 370Z. I do not have all the info about the product yet but if you have questions leave there here or send me a PM and I'll be sure to find out the info for you. I will update this post as I get more info. Also if you have any other mods you would like them to map out for this piggy back let me know and I can see if they will map them out.

We need more info on the unit so we can compare its capabilities to those like it on the market. What are our advantages to this unit versus ______ brand and model.

With Unichip you can switch between 5 different maps.
Immobilizer map
Valet map
High altitude option
Sea level option
Racing map

They also allow you to tailor your own mapping if you like, so say if you have kids want they want to borrow the car. You can make a map to limit the cars ability.

Another feature which is just about finished is the ability to switch maps with blue tooth. I mean that gives you the possibility to switch maps with a Smartphone.

Personally I like this feature the best the ability to take it out of the 370Z if you sell it, adjust the wiring harness remap the ECU and then put it into a different car.

I am still waiting for an email from Mr. Kuyl about how much the gains are a long with pricing.

Those all sound like pretty great features

Blue tooth for navi models only?

>135I · 04-15-2009, 03:19 AM

Looks like price is going to be around $520 + S&H for group buy. 350z price was $755 + S&H

shabarivas · 04-15-2009, 04:21 PM

How would this compare to like a cobb AP?

>135I · 04-15-2009, 05:58 PM

Well after looking at the Cobb website one thing I didn't see listed was that it can't be used in another vehicle.I know with the Unichip if you sell your 370Z, all you have to do is adjust the wiring harness and download a new map and you can use the Unichip on different car or truck.

Also the Unichip is going to have a bluetooth function. Paired with a bluetooth windows mobile smart phone or PDA with their Flux Power Display software it does everything the Cobb does except it will be wireless, but if you do not have a Smartphone or PDA you can still plug in and set up the mapping.

Something else I just thought about with the Cobb, you are overwriting your ECU so if the Cobb breaks you can not reprogram your ECU back to factory settings until you get a new one. If the Unichip fries for some reason, all you do is unplug it and all your factory ECU settings are still there.

Hi Jake,

The bluetooth option (We call it FLUX) will definitive be available for the Z . We always offer it as a seperate option as FLUX needs to be "tuned" for each model : we have to enter vehicle weights etc. so that we can work the virtual dyno & all that .
It's quite cool , you get to do 0-60 & 0-100 times (with staging lights), terminal velocity , check & clear fault codes .

I'll have more on the kit in 2 weeks when we get our prototype harness & a test car.

Regards,

Marinus Kuyl.
