FrdEB2

Can anyone recommend a chip to suit my EB 4.0. I have a cam and Genie system - all done by Herrod. Is it worth it? what power gains? fuel consumption?? Thanks

Herrod distributes unichips and from what I've seen there's a significant difference. A month ago when I was at Herrod's he'd just installed one in an EF 5 litre V8 futura. The power graph was up and there was a 20kW difference. I asked him if this was common and he said that it varies from car to car depending on what mods are in it. I believe that there are some members who will be at February's meeting who have just had it done so I will quiz them tomorrow and give you some feedback.

I agree, Herrod is one of the best in regard to these mods with dyno proven power gains. Good luck.

frdeb2 go for the unichip i have got it in my car eb supercharged it is real good coz it can b modified on the dyno it not just a chip it is an intercepter it changes the inputs to the pcm, though it is not cheap u can remove it when u sell the car and put it on ur next efi car example xr8 and with ur exaust and cam it can b adjusted onthe dyno to suit, can u believe 123 kw at bak wheels out of a manual 3.9 muiltipoint with cam and exhaust with unichip that is good power out of a natural aspirated 3.9 engine i think good luck man cu on the rd PS: NEATEB LATER.

How do these Unichips fit onthe ecu ?
Do the plug on to the expansion port or are the soldered on to the main board.

I had a bad experience with a powerchip that didn't want to go & it forced the car into lim home mode.

All the EEC add-ons I've heard of or seen plug into the card edge connector (service port).

Check out the links below for a programmable system for EEC-IV/EEC-V computers that is fairly reasonably priced. In one of the docs there they have detailed instructions for cleaning and installing a connector.

While the s/w doesn't have direct support for our processors there is 3rd party software that does have some support for Falcons. I have also spoken with other Aussies who have been working with these things so there is some info out there.

Of course with the rate of exchange at the moment you may have to sell your car to buy this stuff!

Hello, could you tell me who the people are in Australia that are playing with EEC Tuner. I am very interested in it, thanks.

What State are you in?

Sorry for the long delay in replying. I've received an ok to name the bloke bringing
in some EEC Tuners. His name is Pete. You can catch him at <a href="mailto:pbysterveld@orbeng.c...eng.com.au</a>

You can find articles on cars he's done up including an EFI 351C XE Ute on fordmuscle.com. He may know a thing or too about Fords. :)

You can find a mailing list for the Tuner here: groups.yahoo.com/group/EECTuner

Or a general EEC mailing list here: <a href="mailto:eec-help@eelink.net"...eelink.net</a>
