I am in the market for a new ECU in my car. I am looking into the UTEC and the ECU+ they both seem to be great. I would consider myself an ok tuner i have not done the evo yet but did a lot of hondas. But yesterday i got an offer from force fed racing here in Sparks and they will tune it. My question i guess is i can get a used UTEC or ECU+ for cheaper but the unichip sounded like a better product and it would be tuned by a professional so should i go with the unichip? Anyone on here running the unichip? Is it a good product? Any help would be great thanks.

 

I think the FQ 320 / 340 from the UK use the unichip from the factory
but for me there are better solutions out there I recommend the ecu+

 

anyone else have any experiance or comments on this? someone out there has to be using the unichip system!

 

Unichips are kinda old school. There is not alot of people who tune them or have the software anymore.

Many of the companies that used the Unichip to tune have upgraded to bigger and better things.

I would say get a UTEC. I am kinda partial to it because I have one on my EVO and love it.

dude maybe its just me but i honestly never heard of unichip?? how old is it??? lataaa

 

they've been around for a while used it in my WRX back in the day..they make great stuff

 

I've heard of them, but i wouldnt use it, For 650 you can get a used UTEC, or a ECU plus. So its up to you.

I ran the UTEC and i really didnt like it. Its got a bunch of cool features and has pretty good control, but Turbo XS SUCKS when it comes to updates. I waited almost 6months for speed density and i was not happy at all with that.

The Interface runs off DOS, but you can run other units with it. Im either staying on the Stock ECU and getting a tune by all or Running ECU plus

 

My Evo is down at Unichip of North America right now. I'm doing a favor a friend and they're test fitting the system on the car. It's not going to be test ran but when I go pick it up I'm gonna give a spin around the block and see if I can notice any difference. I'll post what I find out
