For most late model Turbo Diesel Plug and Plays that have been designed and developed in Australia
for Australian conditions, the following tuning information applies.

How does the Unichip work on Late Model turbo diesel?

• Boost Control: Unichip has complete 3D control over boost pressure across the entire operating
range of the engine. This allows the Unichip Trained technician to increase the boost pressure as
required. This helps in keeping the Air Fuel Ratios within a safe limit.
• Injector timing: This is a unique Unichip feature to have complete 3D control of injector timing.
This means we can control the exact time they open to achieve optimised fuel burn. This will result
in lower exhaust gas temperatures and greater engine longevity.
• Fuel Rail Pressure: Unichip has full 3D control of Fuel Rail pressure, the simplest way to increase
power on a turbo diesel. However, there are rules to follow when increasing fuel rail pressure,
these are taken into consideration from all of our trained Unichip Authorised agents.
• Injector Drivers: This feature allows the Unichip to have full 3D control of the Diesel Injectors
via the Unichip for greater performance and flexibility.

What are the other advantages to the Unichip Q4?
• Live Real Time Tuning: What this means is the Authorised Unichip agent can make adjustments to the
Unichip tune in Real Time whilst the vehicle is running on a Dynamometer and see the effects/gains instantly
with no guessing as to what YOUR vehicle requires. The other alternative which nearly all competitors use is
to run the vehicle on the Dyno, turn off vehicle, make changes to the tune and then download the new data
to the ECU or Module. Recheck effects of the change again on the dyno, this can take a very long time to get
right with a lot of wear and tear of the vehicle on the dyno. The Unichip Live Tuning method greatly reduces
time spent on the dyno to get your vehicle 100%.
• Transfer from Vehicle to Vehicle: The Unichip Q4 is transferable between all diesel and petrol vehicles.
New car, same chip.
• Water temperature Protection: This is the “built in” safety feature of the new Unichip Q4, we have the
ability to monitor engine temperature via the coolant temperature sensor. This allows the Authorised Unichip
agent to manipulate the tune on a sliding scale as the engine temperature rises. Meaning: As the engine
temperature rises the Unichip Q4 will remove the fuel, boost and timing, slowly and in a controlled fashion to
ensure it maintains maximum power and torque output, without compromising the engine.
• Throttle Booster: This feature enables the Unichip Q4 to achieve a faster throttle response and reduce
turbo lag. Some people pay upward of $800 for a pedal booster kit. This is a standard feature in the Unichip
Australia Plug & Play.

Optional Extras
• Map Select Switch: This option enables the 5 map capability of the Unichip. This means you can access the
5 maps which can be tailored to your requirements. EG, High Power Map, Towing Map, Economy Map,
Standard Map, Immobiliser Map or Even a High Boost or Low Boost Map. Speak to your Authorised Unichip
agent to tailor 5 tunes to suit your application. The 5 maps can be changed on the fly whilst driving from in cab.
• Bluetooth Map Select: This option allows you to change the 5 maps via your Smartphone.
• EGT Protection: This option enables the Unichip Q4 to monitor Exhaust Gas Temperature and modify the
tune to keep Exhaust Gas Temperature at a safe level.

• Typical Plug and play loom.
• Provisions for Unichip Q4
• Up to two Injector drivers when required.
• Seamless fitting between E.C.U and E.C.U. Harness
• Factory OEM E.C.U. plugs

• This is to ensure a direct fit to the vehicle E.C.U.

Close up of E.C.U plugs, this is both male and female side

made from the same heat treated plastic as O.E.M. and to
O.E.M specifications to ensure a direct 100% faultless and
sealed fit.

Typical Plug and Play setup:

200 Series
Landcruiser
used for
example.

1. Locate ECU against LH Corner of firewall 2. Remove 3 x M6 Bolts for junction box in front of ECU and
move box forward. (This will allow access to lower ECU plug)

Typical Plug and Play setup: (cont).

3. Remove upper ECU plug followed by lower ECU plug. (cont.) 3 cont. Remove upper ECU plug followed by lower ECU plug.

4. Plug smaller lower PNP plug into factory ECU followed by 4 cont. Plug smaller lower PNP plug into factory ECU followed
larger top plug. (cont.) by larger top plug.

5. Fit Unichip and bracket to rear most stud on diesel fuel filter
housing. Plug in Unichip.

 Petrol Results
Power Results:
Standard: 214.00 all wheel kw
Unichip: 243.8 all wheel kw

Torque Results:
Standard:390nm
Unichip: 480nm

Stock A45 makes 214kw @all 4 wheels and 390NM @all

4 wheels, with the Unichip Q4 these numbers soon change
to 243KW @ all wheels and 480NM@all wheels, but these
numbers don't tell the real picture.

With the Unichip Q4 the torque increase at 3100rpm

(this is an RPM range where the average driver spends a lot
of time) is nearly 100NM, most A45 owners love their car but
wish it had more low down power, we've got that covered.

As you can see the power is increased throughout the entire

rev range with the stock output of 214kw passed now at the
4300 rpm mark, so in other words the Unichip equipped A45
makes more power at 4300rpm than the stock car makes at
6400RPM.

More power more torque, better throttle response and far

better fuel consumption
