Hi to everyone. Been lurking here for a while since buying my Titanium Grey '04. Saved me a bunch of grief the one time I cold flooded it; I had the insight to pull the FI fuse and crank the motor 10 seconds to clear the raw fuel. Anyway, apparently Unichips has a piggyback module now for the RX8, among other vehicles. I don't know if it's programmable like the Dynojet PowerCommander I use on my motorcycles. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this unit?

Advertisement? Spam?

 

Dunno if it was spam... perhaps a plug for that vendor. So I've removed the vendor link and replaced it with a link to the Unichip website and this RX-8 unit instead. Lets see where this goes from here.

 

Seems he's real, a dentist from Charlotteville.

(....I've always wondered why we don't hear more about Unichip - Taka has one, I should get him to do a review.)

 

(note to self: people who drink warm beer may be either be unusually paranoid, have no viable opinions, or perhaps both)

 

No need to get nasty..... especially about beer!

Apologies sir. So many times when a link is inserted and the post count is 1 the post is nothing but spam. I get even more suspicious when there is no personal information in the profile such as location. For your post I wasn't sure but it smelled a bit like spam.

Anyhow, welcome to the forum!

 

Americans often misunderstand the term "warm beer".......

English ale is always served at room temperature.

However, anyone who has been there would realise that the average English room is at a balmy 42* fahrenheit! !

 

Taka did a review about 2 years ago. We would have to do a search to locate it.

Update: Here it is. https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...hlight=unichip

 

Found Taka's review in the Aussie section - most underwhelming.

Small, barely felt gains, rough idle, then a complete failure while driving. Uses the same air signal "fooling" tactic as the Greddy and the Canzoomer.

....now I see why we don't hear more about it.
