Split Second Unit

[Petrucci914]

Anybody look into this?It looks like it's only meant to control a single injector so it'd work for our 5th injector but wouldn't replace the TRD unit. So what exactly does our TRD unit do? I'm assuming it increases the fuel flow from the stock injectors. It'd be nice to replace the TRD unit......Unichip is an option but I'd have to go far for a dynotune. Not sure what else to do.Gonna do a tranny upgrade first but just thinking out loud.

And another 11 hours the same day to go back home.At the end, it will pay for itself in whp AND reliability.

What units does MWR dynotune? Unichip?They in the Upper or Lower Michigan Peninsula?

That's the secret brother.I picked the split second AIC1 a few months ago,yet to install it.It looks real easy to tune,but you will have to hit a dyno for best results.175 horses FTW.Do it.

You thought you could hold out on me until Spring, didn't you, you SOB!? But that's just controlling the 5th injector. Isn't the main purpose of the 5th injector to cool the supercharger and improve detonation? I would think the main 4 injectors would use a tuning as well. Or are they not touched very much by the TRD Unit?

You can squeeze 25 whp out of just tuning the 5th injector.Then you can put your CAI on and pick up w/i,and the smaller pulley and your set for action.I'm all ready for a tune in the spring,wuhoo.Dude,for $283 you can't go wrong.The trd unit controls the 5th injector and timing.Some guys have removed them,but I'm just taging into the 5th injector.

I think 10HP is the most you can get. At least that's what they got from tuning a SC'd Matrix on the site.Man, Wet Injection really sounds like a pain in the (removed).

I saw that too.But when I talked to them,they assured me that that was a mild tune,but with a more aggressive tune,you could yield more.Plus,some of the 9thgen guys have made those numbers.

Water injetion isn't that much of a pain, I have it on mine. I also have the SS AIC1, but also have yet to install it as it needs to be tuned and the closest place I can take my car to have it done is in Long Beach, and it's about $200 from what I understand to have it dyno-tuned.

How long have you had that?I guess I can't say anything because I still haven't installed my w/i yet either.It's sitting beside me in the box.

This is a ceritifed Unichip Tuner here in the Chicago Metro area. Dyno on site etc. Spoke to them and the seem fairly decent. Not a bad ride from Madison. May have them tune my Unichip after the holidays. Though I am considering the SplitSec option as well. Decisions, decisions..

I still want the Unichip. I know controlling the 5th injector is good, but I think all injectors and such should be tweaked. I know Lancer plans on getting his Unichip tuned, maybe the 3 of us can get a 'buy 2, get 1 free' dyno deal?

I guess we'll see who get's a better bang for their buck in the spring.
