The Japanese coupe likes to play “hard to get” with tuners, as its ECU can’t be remapped using OBD flash programing. This is why Unichip developed the new system, which intercepts the signals from the car’s factory sensors and channels them through the Uni-Q, allowing the ignition and fueling parameters to be modified for increased performance.
The company has performed multiple dynamometer test and has shown that its Unichip Uni-Q squeezes an extra 20 hp from the car’s 3.6 liter naturally aspirated V6 powerplant, which originally produced 264 hp (measured). The modification brings the unit’s torque from 236 lb-ft to 262 lb-ft.
Unichip says that its application allows driver to further increase the V6 engines performance, as it supports extra tuning equipment.
“Although standard Nissan 350Z’s benefit from the Uni-Q ECU, the Unichip system is powerful enough and flexible enough to be truly future proof, so it can accommodate future additional engine modifications. That’s because the Uni-Q allows 350Z owners to optimize additional tuning hardware, as the unit is capable of driving water injection, nitrous oxide and extra fuel injectors. Crucially, with an additional Unichip boost control module, the Uni-Q is also suitable for Nissan 350Z turbocharger conversions,” stated the press release.
One of the most useful features offered by the Uni-Q is the system’s ability to store five different engine maps, allowing users to choose between multiple power levels, suitable for various driving conditions.
