Default Re: Proposed Group Buy: Unichip P&P Tuner For 07+ Tundra & All Toyo Trucks & Suvs

Mike just sent me another update.

Speed Limiter
We can’t guarantee the speed limiter right now, We have people working on this all over the world to figure out how to do this w/o entering the ECU. What I can say is we are working on it and it is a goal of ours, not only for the average customer but also for a large group of race teams (Baja, and Middle East). What I can promise is when we find an answer it will be available as an update to your Unichip.

Flux
Flux will not be released before the GB. We are 1-2 months still out. We are working on it every day, trying to locate special parts need, designing software that will be end user friendly and give the customer some great toys and benefits to play with. The additional cost on any Toyota (NEW OR OLD) unit with flux will be $220.00 upgrade.

Exhaust
We have found aftermarket exhaust systems Help the 5.7L breath, and sound cool! Put when it comes to mapping between aftermarket manufactures, there is not enough difference between the systems to make a different map. Now, Stock vs. Aftermarket it does make a difference. We are looking for a local tundra with headers to test how much of a difference it truly makes. We have 2 trucks out with headers on the east cost and both of the have a map with CAI & Cat B exhaust. Both trucks seam to be working great and have no engine lights. This tells us it must be close to what it needs to be. How Close? Not sure until we get a test unit. But close enough that if we tune it we may only gain 2 -4 more HP if any. With that size of a rig you may not feel it. I do recommend headers, anytime you can get heat out of an engine it’s a good thing.

Which Cold Air Intake creates more power?
This is a tough question; people have so many different opinions about this subject. Which is better, they all do their job properly. They all can’t perform to their fullest with out an exhaust. Then this is where we come in and adjust open and closed loop and adjust fuel trims back to 14.7. At this point they all are with in a few HP’s. My tuner likes the Volant, I like the True Flow. A local guy loves his Airaid. We don’t have any numbers to print for you. So my answer to your question is: They all do their job.
