Vishnu EcuTek and Unichip questions
Hey guys, im new to the board and i have search alot already. From what i understand Vishnu Stage 1 includes all its says on there website but when they/ you say reflash that mean unichips right?
and i see everyone loves the EcuTek which is a program to tune the stock ecu to whatever specs for whatever mods you got on your wrx correct?
so really when Vishnu unichips/reflash for there stage 1 is just like a EcuTek but with the EcuTek you modify the computer yourself right?
the Delta Dash is only for logging from the ob2 port to see what the ecu is doing ? and is only really needed for street tuning or is it needed if you tune your EcuTek on the dyno?
if anyone is in the so cal area of california shot me a email at pn0ymahal@aol.com so maybe i can see your setup, ask for local good shops to get parts and tune the car.
thanks guys

Unichip piggyback chips are no longer used in Vishnu Stage kits, nor by any of the other top tuners, to my knowledge. Too many limitations when it comes to the Subaru ECU.
All current Vishnu Stage kits use EcuTek to reflash your factory ECU. Each time you move up in Stages, the ECU needs to be reflashed by Vishnu.
Alternatively, you can use Vishnu's XEDE piggyback which plugs into your factory ECU. You can tune this yourself with the (I think) included software, or you can download free XEDE maps for Vishnu's Stage kits from their site.
DeltaDash is data-logging software but can make general global changes to some tuning parameters, as well as enable a 'valet' feature in your EcuTek reflashed ECU.
See Vishnu Performance's site for details. Most of the info you seek is there.

Yeah I called. Seems like older customers are SOL for upgrading, and must pay an addition $650 for a remap, unichip is of course free. If Im to pay $1800 for an upgrade, I might just look elsewhere.
It would have been nice if they could have offered unichip users even a slight discount, IMHO.

The Unichip is hasn't been sold as part of the WRX Stage kits since early 2003.

The price indicated is for reflashing your ECU. I don't know if Vishnu Performance has ECUs on hand for exchange purposes.
