hey guys and gals just looking at the unichip for the rx-8 and was just wondering if anyone has used or bought one and if they were happy with it or not

 

Nice try....................troll.

 

Yes.One Happy customer here !

I got 10 of them.

Also I put lots of Peanut oil and mixed it with my engine oil. guess what. It works and my car can do 1/4 mile in 10 seconds !

 

what...i am asking a question here...

 

Ummmmmmmmmmm.......okay??
I know of nobody, so please install one and let us know how it works for you.

 

with a name like *redneck4life* ... and you're talking about a Japanese car.

great

 

... Search....

And sure, go ahead with them if you dont search.

 

ya i saw that too for sale on some websites. but alot of other cars end up having problems with it. And u cant tune it ur self or have a shop do it. U have to send it back to the company and they can only do the changes there . The company dont give out there software so ya ur kidna screwed in any tunng situation.

More threads can be found with a title only search for 'Unichip'

 

i think he is referring to the dastek unichip ecu not those ebay chips guys

http://www.dastek.co.uk/index.htm

they do help some cars immensely but im not so sure about the 8

 

thanks guys nice to get a couple straight answers i appriciate it and as for nycgps if my name bothers u then stay of my thread

 

I would love to, but your name shows up on the *Aftermarket Performance Modifications*.

How about you just make another username ?

 

Heh...

Doth I smell napalm in the breeze?

 

to my knoweldge the unichip works on the 8, and their newer version is meant to be better with it, as the old one wasnt so good, but they found that just putting it on an NA with no mods made very little diference.

With an intake and exhaust system they got a few extra hp, but not much either.

Dont quote me on any of this. 8)

 

If you have other mods and can get it at a great price I would recommend.

 

calm down there uber h4x0r...and stfu...right....MEOW

 

I have it and it gives a nice little boost. But the only reason I picked it was that I got a great deal on it. But I also have RP CAI , RP CATback, and Exedy stage 2 clutch and flywheel, as well as a AP pulley. I'm getting close to make the leap forward to either supercharge or turbo. And the ECM is one of the last changes to get a few more horses. I would of like to get the AP (AccessPort) but I have to save up heard alot of good things about.

 

I thought this was going to be another ebay chip disaster, good thing I never started one of those

 

ask 8newbie. I met him for the first time at our nyra meet. he was talking about it to me, but I really wasn't hearing it

I never heard of it. like I really give a F^^%^**&&(

 

There is a working version, Unichip Q Plus.

I know its work because I have seen it in a RX-8 last weekend, performance figures from rototest looked good so I have signed up for it.

=)

 

Go for it go from a 15 sec car down to 9.3sec helps a ton

 

Fact is i have the Unichip Q plus piggy back on my RX-8 and have driven it for about 3000 km with no issues what so ever. I was on a mini course at TS Motorsport in Sweden and it was installed in 10 min with 5 cables to wire and solder. Started right and and of course i had the car on a rolling road a Dyno dynamics. The stock ECU was way rich as expexted with lambda readings of 0.74-0.76 at full throttle.Leaned it out in the midrange (cruise) to 0.90-0.95 and then leaned it to 0.89-0.91 and gave it full throttle with a top hp gain of 12 rwhp@8600 rpm. I also add some more timing with the Unichip box which controls fuel and timing with 2 *****. My mileage now is alittle better at 1.1litre/10km speeding at 120 km/h on highway. So far i think this is a good piggyback product that works. I had 2 Piggybacks before but this is the far best.

Redneck for life. Let me explain.

Apparently ownership of an RX-8 is synonymous with sophisticated taste in cars, and perhaps sophisticated tastes in general. As in beer vs. wine.
Many generalize, probably wrongly, that redneck is synonymous with unsophisticated taste in cars.

So given this, many in here are offended that a redneck would purchase an RX-8. So offended that they'll internalize this and begin engaging in self deprecation.

You can restore their faith in the their definition of sophistication by changing your nickname or buying a Camaro.

Just in case you think this is a slam on you. Read it again, and you should conclude it's a slam on them.

What cars you like have little to do with sophistication.

And the "rednecks" who drive F-Bodies and post on LS1Tech.com appear to know more about the technical details on cars than the average person posting here.

You decide which is more "sophisticated". Actually working on them like rednecks and blue collar types, or watching Jeremy Clarkson.

I must say though, the smoky tire burnout on an RX-8 is a bit silly. Don't do that (if stock) to challenge a V6 Camry. You'll likely loose the challenge, unless of course you're willing to drop the clutch at 7500RPM. lol. That is just unsophisticated.

 

check the thread date ... the redneck has never came back ...

 

yeh, you guys pissed all over him, lol. He's not a ferrari man.

Maybe he'll get this in an email and come back, but I doubt it.
