Air Power System, Is It Worth It?

[ZAP]

The Unichip'smain advantage is the live tuning, but the Cons are:

It is visable to Ford as you can see either the plug in loom or the spliced in wiring.

It is an interceptor and "tricks" or bends the signals to the cars ECU.

It has to be tuned by a APS dealer and only has one tune

It cannot control the VCT

It does not have the same flexibility as Edit when it comes to the gearbox, VCT, torque tags.

It is old technology and was good in it's day, but the edit does a lot more.

There are many so called kit around, your best bet is to figure what you want from your car as a kit may not be what you need. I run the most basic of mods and cut a 1/4 in 11.2 sec and that's with a modifyed factory exhaust.

My car is always at G&D if you want to have a look or go for a drive.

ZAPF6,

Mate, I can understand what your saying, and Unichip bends the signal, has to be hardwired and needs to be tuned by an APS Dealer.

But when talking, simply all the parameters that deal directly with all the elements attributed to freeing up more power, AFR's, Injector Duty Cycles...all that kind of stuff.

I never knew VCT can be altered, so that to me sounds like an advantage to the EDIT.

Does the Edit retain the factory sensors (knock) like the Unichip, keeping it to within a safe range or does the EDIT alter those also?

Would be nice if CAPA gave us a 6 speed auto edit software...

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.

They still have torque tags on the manual utes.

PS ford have been using torque tags since the au's.
