09.01.2022 A quick video of the Unichip process from start to finish !

09.01.2022 Innovation, from 1994 Toyota 80 series Petrol 4x4 to a 2017 Diesel Holden Colorado. A.F.R Tuning In Australia, the Fact's, the reason's, and the necessity for ...change... This is why Unichip is the Market leader.... For full Blog head to: http://dynomotive.com.au//the-stories-old-and-new-diesels- Now the Unichip gets its history from Petrol but is very well adapted to diesel, (The fact is it can be used on any Fuel Injected vehicle, no matter if its L.P.G, Petrol or Diesel. This is what brings us to our second part of the story. Dyno tuning Diesels with an A.F.R Meter (Air Fuel Ratio). Rob Rapisarda started tuning Diesels Using air fuel ratio as the reference way back in the 90s when it was considered the only way to tune a Diesel was off E.G.T and visible black smoke. Now to some this may seem like a massive claim to fame, for us its Fact and something we accept every day. One of the opening lines to our Unichip Training days is in direct relation to tuning to A.F.Rs when doing diesel tuning. Now Im sure in the mid 90s when diesel tuning was becoming more popular that there would have been more than one person playing with AFRs and working out what the best Ratio is for a Diesel engine. (I would like to think that it happened all at the same time, different people coming up with different Ideas and pushing the limits, there was no internet, no Facebook or blogs, it was single people working by themselves trying new techniques that gives us the back bone of Dyno tuning we see today, and I am lucky enough to work with two of the best in the country.) So back to Rob and A.F.R tuning as he addresss our Unichip agents from all over Australia, I tried tuning using EGT and visual black smoke as it was done in the early days. But it didnt make sense, it wasnt precise, and temperature doesnt feel like a solid basis to put my stamp of approval on. The other issue with EGT is what number is considered safe for all the different diesel engine designs and manufacturers. Where do you measure EGT, pre- turbo, post- turbo? All these factors have a huge bearing on what EGT you measure. Then you bring into the equation of Injector timing and this can have a huge impact on EGTs without touching the fuel. Rob came from a Petrol tuning background where measuring Fuel mixtures with Co analysers and Air Fuel Ratio meters was a standard practice from road cars to race cars. He tried measuring diesels with the same equipment that was used on petrol vehicles but soon realised that the equipment was not up to the task for Diesel vehicles. So Rob approached Motec Fuel injection first who made aftermarket fuel injection computers and AFR meters. To see if he could get an AFR meter built that would read leaner than 20:1 Air Fuel Ratio. This by the way is very, very lean for a Petrol vehicle. (Typical AFR for a Petrol engine is 12:0-1 to 15:0-1 ) Rob ended up working with Autronic to build a meter that would read from 9:0-1 to 36:0-1. The rest is history as Rob soon had data for all Australian delivered diesels and a baseline AFR reading was achieved. These meters were then supplied to Tuners around Australia and the world so they could tune Diesel vehicles a lot more accurately. Below is A.F.R scaling: (Just so you have an understating of what Im typing about) 15:0 18:0-1 for Max Power (Depending on engine and Injection design) 25:0 30 + for Cruising This was a big jump for Diesel tuning worldwide, a lot of costs were involved but Rob kept faith having the knowledge that diesel did run lean he just didnt know how lean... At last Tuners had a tool which could measure Diesels for correct and repeatable tuning purposes. I feel, (and yes, its my opinion) that these two stories are two of the most important pieces of history in the Diesel aftermarket industry, and have influenced so many other methods of tuning around the globe. #unichip #unichipau #power #torque #marketleaders #afrtuning #dieseltuning #dieselpower #dynotuning #livetuning #dontjustfocusonrailpressure #innovation #factsnotmyths
