Che header

What was your torque line like on the graph, although I was only 128, it ran from 2500 RPM through 6300RPM in a straight line, it would have been nice to see someone have the Che with a Unichip dyno'd.

I've just priced up the Power FC £395 from Japan Thor want £350 for fitting and mapping, how much is the unichip fitted?

Thanks
Rob

I have looked at the map and the strange thing is the torque looks to run between 125 and 130 but on the day it was put down as 144  s:? :? s:?  It is nye on a straight line from 2500rpm but dips slightly @ around 5500rpm. Maybe it was on the other map as I had two runs on both but only one graph printed. Unsure which map has the higher torque now. Mark does your data show this  s:?: :?: s:?:

The graph you have is the best you did on that day, once it peaks it prints off your best result. I think they ran mine about 4 / 5 times before they printed the final graph.

The photo of the graph that Rich took (Dyno thread) is my first run  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  Nice pic's by the way  s:D s:D

I'm not sure Alex, when I spoke to Thor they were unsure as the majority of the cars they've mapped were MRS not UK spec, but then again you are replacing the ECU completely so I suppose it's not a problem, the only area that they would need to check is the plug to ensure they are compatable.

As far as I know the plugs on the ECU are the same, even if the internals may be slightly different (the diagnostic port isn't OBD-II compliant, and it must be missing the code - and probably hardware support for - the 3rd O2 sensor on the J-spec).

But they've mapped at least one UK spec, I'm sure (didn't Dan take his to Thor?)

Thanks Aaron for the info, let's see if Dan can confirm.

they also did mine, Seans, and Nigels, the latter with a PFC

Were they UK or J spec, plus I'm only interested in the PFC.

Thanks

all UK

but teh plugs are teh same anyway

Interesting - My torque was 129 on the day - in a more or less continuous flat line right across the rev range until 5.5k . Given the similarity of our setups maybe someone made an error  when recording your peak figure(144 does seem a lot higher)

When I had mine chipped at millways my torque was recorded at 118 stock. After chipping the curve was flatter and consistently running around 128 lb/ft.

Either way I still believe that the unichip's best gains are in midrange torque rather than peak power - this is why it is such a great mod for every day driving. The difference on the motorway is very noticeable - much more grunt from even very low down means I rarely have to change down from sixth.

BTW - Anyone know if che headers are still available as I'd like to give one a go ? Spyderchat is blocked by my firewall for some reason.

Unless you want to give me yours Rob when you change over?

cheers but that item is out of date and not listed by the seller anymore.
I'm emailing him to see if he has any in stock.

damn eveyone is gonna have this done before me!  s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

I think that's probably a likely scenario, as my setup is very similar to yours and heaths (us mapped unichip, remus exhaust, standard filter and precats still in) and my torque curve is similar - flat at 125 from 2500, with a slight lump at 4500rpm before tailing off after 5500.

I suppose the only other factors that could account for the 15lb ft extra heaths made would be a) map selected (map a for me) and fuel (bog standard texaco on the day).

I think i've also come to the same conclusion that the che manifold seems to be the way forward as a cheap, quick and easy way to de-precat with the added bonus of a little extra performance but without the compromises of the other performance headers, so therefore it will be my next mod!!   s8) s8)

[Anonymous]

Is this the start of a che manifold group buy?

[rtbiscuit]

i'm in  s:D s:D

do you think mark will invite us all round so we can have a group fitting session as well.

the next mini meet   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

[ratmat02]

Yeah go on,have a GB just after i bought mine,swines  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

[Anonymous]

thats two,  get the plusgas ready!

[rtbiscuit]

so who's going to organise this little spending fest.

you'll be pleased to know that the exchange rate is 1.92 dolors to the pound.

i think it works out delivred to your door $275 which is about £140, theres another thread somewhere and it mentions price. in fact i think its this one.

so i wonder if we have enough people if we can get it lower   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

but to be honest, thats a damn good price!

[Anonymous]

I'm in.

[Anonymous]

looking at the dyno day results I'd say there every chance of getting 10 people interested?  Is anyone a trained negotiator who wishes to crack Che?

[Anonymous]

Right guys - I've just PM'd Che asking if he still has these and how much they are going to cost.
I also asked about the possibility of a group buy.

I'll keep you posted.

a most joyful Yay!
