Hi,
I am very interested to know if anyone has installed and tuned their e46 320 (or similar 6 potters) with a unichip.
I really do believe that if tuned properly it should get a good gain in torque / hp. Just want to know if the shifting would be compromised as I heard that if you advance the ignition, there are functions like on emanage ultimate which does not advance the ignition during shifts to prevent a jerky feeling. 6 cylinders, 2.2L, DOHC....I think it should produce more than the base 170hp if tuned correctly.
Anyone with any info, please let me know. If I embark on this journey, I would be willing to share all I know. I tuned my previous car with unichip and gained 18hp peak with decent amount of torque. Just simple leaning out of fuel avg 5% and advancing by avg 5 degree ignition timing. Tried the same with AFC neo and got 10hp. This was on a Euro R. With a 2006 civic 2.0, before the 2007 Euro R, base was 155hp (FD2Auto) and i got 5hp from a basic AFC neo just by leaning out avg 5% fuel. All dynoed. I just got my car and don't believe that there is nothing we can do to unleash 10hp-20hp with simple bolt ons like intake and exhaust (muffler alone).
I am not going to do any major mods, at least want to try to get something with basics first. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope to be able to contribute my fair share but before I do anything, I want to check if anyone has already gone thru that route.
