    The Montero maps they're using were done on a local Montero, so at least they're tropicalized. You can still ask for custom-mapping if not satisfied with the gains.

    I just checked. Basic unichip install is still 30k, with free dyno testing. It's 49.5k for the plug-and-play package (depending on the car), which is probably what arbe got.

    *arbe: You can still ask for the dyno test... as that's included in the package.

    The warranty thing is no extreme biggie. Electronics like this don't wear down over time... (which is why there's a big market for secondhand APEXi S-AFCs) the only big possibility of failure is from flood immersion (the chip is water-tight, but if a sensor shorts out while connected to the chip, it might fry something).

    The Dastek Unichip has been in use for a long time in the US, South Africa and Asia. It's been featured in Sport Compact Car, as Vishnu uses it for Subaru tuning and it's used for Cooper and Protege tuning in the US. It may not be as popular as newer systems like Cobb Accessport, but it's more universal and, because we have a local distributor, it's significantly cheaper.

    i'm here already in iloilo sir.. I want some hp and torque gain pa sana, sa sobrang excitement hindi ko na test sa dyno... the technician told me na program sa module are the same with other monteros na nakabitan nila.. Field testing lang..

    I tried 0-100 sprint so far .5 to 1 sec naimprove...a bit improvement din sa mileage.... I think yung big imrovement is the engine response...

    plug and play with wiring harness..sir with this type of unichip you can just simply unplug the unit if you go to casa for check ups especially if your car is still under warranty.. the other one requires cutting and splicing of wires which obviously will void your warranty..

    *arbe: Ah. Kaya pala.

    1 second on the Montero would be equal to a 10-15 hp difference.

    *babyscar: if you want the plug and play, you'll have to order ahead. If it's custom-wired into the vehicle, it'll take between one to three days for the wiring, but it saves you 20k.

    *arbe: if your car is faster and you have no running problems, no need to. You can reprogram the chip alone, but for best results, it needs to be tuned on the car on the dyno.

    Berrima? Haven't used their services.

    Speedlab? Expensive? Compared to a backyard talyer, yes... but amongst speedshops with dynos, they're one of the more affordable ones... Berrima's quoted dyno-run charges are more expensive than Speedlab's.

    Plug and play like arbe's, 50k+, spliced in, 30k. Cheap, but yes, it voids your warranty.

    If you want to make power, be prepared to spend for it.

    Only two guys have the equipment to reprogram the Unichip locally. Ferman is one, and I don't have a dyno, an EGT meter or an AFR reader... ...and I don't live anywhere near Iloilo.

    Next mod for you should be intercooler, maybe an exhaust (though a free-flowing exhaust will either sound nice and aggressive or annoyingly like a jeepney, depending on your tastes...) and maybe alcohol. Alcohol injection is the other really big power adder for diesels. Many customers are most satisfied with the alcohol-chip combination.

    Toyota Fort and Hilux 3.0 owners with the full kit from Speedlab (chip+alcohol+intercooler) can spin up all four tires... in second gear...

    Yes. Warranty is usually 3-5 years, about 60-100,000 kilometers. Caveat emptor. Buyer beware. When you void the warranty, it's your own risk. Thus, if you want to modify your vehicle, do your research first and try to fully understand the implications of the modifications you want done.

    Gas savers don't work. Especially not for computer controlled diesels, as the ECU adjusts around any changes made by fuel savers. In fact, sometimes even tried and tested mods like air filters don't work for modern diesels.

    Here's some examples of some chip gains with the alcohol. Unichip at speedlab is pretty well proven. Alcohol injection as well, The combo cannot be beat.

    Ford Focus TDI

    Guys,

    I just want to ask if the unichip and the alcohol injection have been tried on the Isuzu Alterra? What were the results?
    Thanks!

    The Sprint Booster actually works, but it doesn't add any power... just makes the vehicle more responsive, so you feel like there's more power.

    Pinaka-sulit Unichip.

    Devil's Own comes second, because it only gives good gains on turbocharged cars, and needs to be refilled from time to time. It's a right gas on a turbodiesel, but isn't very useful on a gasoline car unless it's turbocharged or your installing a high power turbo kit.
