Air Power System, Is It Worth It?

[SavageF6]

Just to clarify, a Unichip intercepts signals to the ECU, and allows altered fuel and ignition parameters to be channelled through it, for the purposes of more power etc etc.

Edit on the other hand, uploads a new program or tune, to the actual factory ECU itself. As such, you can alter and control a lot more stuff than you can with Unichip.

Okay thanks guys,

So does the APS kit come with a certificate or something stating this so that there is no troubles with legalities..

Thanks! Sound very tempting for the F6, but an edit would change this anyway, but as a kit, would just like to know what my options are..

←

The APS kits come with the required paperwork to get the car registered legally with RTA so that the police can not defect the vehicle based on the modifications included within the kit. This includes EPA compliance.

The unichip can control fuel, timing and boost which is responsible for making power in the car. Edit can control more parameters used to do additional things, but the unichip when tuned properly can certainly deliver one amazing Xr6 or typhoon.

Police can and will defect a car if they want regardless of if itis stock or had ADR paperwork.

It is then up to you to get the car cleared.

I know of one person on this forum who got defected in his new T with stock everything.

If you are pulled over, be nice to cops as they can make life hard if they want.

P.S good to see Geeseman is still towing the APS agenda

Can someone answer me this,

Where does the Unichip begin to reach it's limits? Say comparing to the Edit. Apart from the ability of having 3 states of tune available, what extends the Edit capabilites over the unichip, is it the various parameters? and what for example? Just trying to understand a little

The Edit can control the trans, ie firmness of shifts, the Unichip cannot.

Also there are a few small things, for example, thermo fan turn on times can be altered using the Edit, where's the Unichip cannot control this.

ALSO

also edit can remove torque tags... unichip cant

edit can remove speed limiter.. unichip cant

edit isnt attached to your car, hence it is not visible... the unichip is

unichip is good but not as good as the edit (that's just MO)

any1 else add anything?

Just another relatively simple Qn guys,

So does that mean If I was to fit an APS Phase 2 on the F6, with the unichip, I must always run on 98 fuel also, as with the edit it can be flashed back and forth depending how much powa you want, and the fuel you are running. I guess what I am trying to say here is that what happens if I was to put 95 instead? Can the unichip self compensate like the stock computer system or will I be pinging galore..

Thanks again guys!

No it cant.It was the only reason I was swinging to the EDIT path with my APS Phase II.Other then that my car still kick arse with the unichip and was 100% reliable too.

Okay thanks, so you just run it on 98 or higher all the time when you had unichip.. With your edit and the phase 2, can you run on 95 oct still, and if so what does it drive like (is rwkw difference large)?

Cheers!

Just reading some of the repies,

Okay, was hoping for a few more examples. Taking away the physical aspect of the two units, but tuning ability.

Thermo fans, fair point. Eliminate Speed limiter, well don't anticipate going over 230kph.

For myself, I don't have traction control so torque tagging really doesn't apply, I've got manual also.

There has to be more in the way the edit stands above the Unichip other than those previously mentioned. I'm not trying to start an all out bun fight, just curious.
