Also has anyone tried different intakes using the maps?
Where can we get a tune at Jack?
I love the way injen looks, i mean its injen. lol But Takeda is boasting 11hp gains bolt on. Anyone actualy dyno after unichip tune. Man i wish i had $290 to just blow on some software. lol
Any info on part by part gains would be nice. I mean, I notice the change in performance, but just to satisfy our egos, you know?
Something else i just thought about. Do you plan to test other intakes, headers, and exhaust setups? Id really like to see one for Dezod V2 Green header, and one for the Tsudo S2 catback. The latter i have, and eventually plan to get the header when i move out of Cali.

Thanks for the posts.
The best performing map for a particular set of parts, say the Injen CAI and a Catback, should come from that “map family” in the online data base.
If you go back to Post #4 in this thread, I talked about how we’ve created multiple maps with different timing and fueling tweaks all built around the basic calibration for each specific set of parts.
You’ll find all of the bolt-on parts flow more air than the OE parts and they all actually flow more than the engine internals can move… if you follow that thought process through, that means once you bolt the parts up, they flow as much as the engine asks for and no more(even though they could do more)… which means ultimately – unless you’re doing internal mods – they all flow the same amount of air.
Since power is just moving the most air possible with the correct amount of fuel and igniting everything at the optimum time, assuming you’re using the “best” map to optimize the AFR and ignition timing for your specific car and bolt ons… they all make about the same power. That’s really what happens at a dyno anyways. If everything’s installed correctly and the best tune is used, the power difference between two different setups will be within the testing margin of error.
With our online map data base, you can pretty quickly find the best fit map with some basic testing, at home, for $35. In the FR-S community, I’d estimate that 75%of the guys also purchase the download cable to access the online data base and they love it.
As far as other parts, we have maps for the stock intake, all drop in filters, Injen, K&N, Takeda, TRD, and Weapon R CAI’s… as well as each with a catback and a header and catback. The header and catback “brand” isn’t significant to the calibration as long as it’s a quality part that flows well.
As always, please let me know if I can answer any other questions and enjoy your day.
Cheers

Thanks for the post.
It all comes down to methodical testing... what's best for one car may well not be what's best for another identical car.
Start with the F~,T~ map for the correct octane fuel and bolt-ons. Do some 3rd gear pulls from 1,000 rpm to redline and measure the time. Average the times. Note that all the pulls have to be over the same road with the same temperature, wind, etc... or the comparisons become meaningless.
Then make a change... "more aggressive" means either F- or T-... "really aggressive" means both F-,T-. Do the same pulls, average the times and compare. If the times are faster, the map is making more power. If it's slower, it's not.
Repeat.
Whatever map produces the quickest times is the best fit for a specific car. The more consistent your test conditions, the more valid the data.
Cheers,
Jack

Hey guys, this is my first post, but I've been reading on here for a while. I have a MY12 Camry SE with the 2ARFE. I purchased the Unichip with the tune for Weapon R intake and header/catback. After one day of driving I am thoroughly impressed with the gains. With my mods I wouldn't hesitate to line up to a stock 2.5Tc and I think I would take it handily.
My mods are weapon r header, weapon r intake, stock exhaust with custom axelback, NST pulley, Unichip, and lighter wheels/tires.
Anyone on the fence about this, its well worth it at the special price, and I would say worth it at the msrp as well. so far my datalogging shows an increase of roughly 5* timing at part throttle and WOT. The only thing I am disappointed about is that the unichip didn't modify the target WOT afr but adjusting MAF voltage at WOT. I should note that I am on the stock unichip map-the more aggressive one I think its map1. My target afr for high load and WOT is 11.9:1. not sure if it is the same on the TC, but i would imagine so. I would really like it closer to 12.5:1 for power purposes, but for longevity's sake, I think the unichip has hit the nail on the head for balance between performance and reliability.
I'm not sure I would recommend getting it before doing full bolt-ons though, as it is really a great compliment to the I/H/E. I just don't think it would be worth buying on the stock intake and then having to pay for another map when you get an intake.
Thanks to Jack too, for great customer service!
