I have heard (Matty back me up here) they were not that good, but then again I did see the dyno sheet on the MSP w/ 10 PSI, cat-back, and CAI gain like 30bhp....what the hell is BHP?? Is it hp at the crank or what...

chiefmg April-30th-2005 02:11 PM

BHP is brake horsepower. It is how power is normally listed for engines.

Omron April-30th-2005 02:46 PM

so what does that translate into for whp?

scotty878 April-30th-2005 03:20 PM

As discussed in another thread, when translating, the loss of HP through the drivetrain is a percentage, usually around 30%. So 30% of 30bhp, would be 10, being a gain of around 20WHP...

wow 20whp , hmmmm lol question is if its true, the blood thing is like 500 $ thats more then a Jet reflash lol

The only Unichip I have seen on a protege is on a MSP ONLY. It was a plug and play set-up with the only wiring required is for your boost controller. I have no experience with these but I do know Ying (NoClue119) has one on his MSP and says they show no dyno gain only a smoother operation with no stumble or hesitation that the MSP's suffer from.

the unichip is not user-tuneable and will need to be adjusted for EVEY mod you make to the car. Your best bet is to mod your car how you'd like and THEN have the unichip tuned for it.

Thats as much as I can tell you about it. I've NEVER seen the unichip on anything other than a MSP.

The Unichip has made decent gains on customer's cars and that's convinced me its the best tuning solution for my needs. And there are tuners in both cities I live in, so its going to be easy to have the unit custom tuned. I've seen dynos of ~220whp on a MSP w/ exhaust, intake and FMIC at 10psi using the UC and I plan to tune for 230whp at 10psi this summer. For someone like me who doesn't want to deal with constant tuning and likes the plugNplay feature I think its the best tuning option available. The eManage and MPITuner require too much tuning for my taste.
