All about the UNICHIP: Better performance, less fuel | Hilux Overland Build, Part 13

- With bigger, heavier tires and more drag, the (very capable) 2.8L diesel never felt like the same beast it did at the start. After careful consideration, the decision to fit a Unichip was made - and this is why.
Here’s the conversion of the numbers:
Power before = 177hp, Power after = 232hp (+31%)
Torque before = 299 lb-ft, Torque after = 402 lb-ft (+35%)
And around a 15% reduction in fuel consumption, which is pretty insane!
Still happy with the unit ?
FANTASTIC, and thorough review and demonstration.
Hi Matt! Love your vids and been following for a while. Small correction. One comment regarding the relationship between RPM and speed (kph). The engine is connected to the wheels by a few cogs (crank, flywheel, clutch, gearbox, drive shaft, differential, drive axels). What I mean is that this drive train is made by solid metal parts that don’t change when the motor power changes. One turn of the crank inside the engine will always translate into “x” turns of the wheel (“x” is lower than 1). It can (loosely) be called the gear ratio and as long as you don’t change it, it’s irrelevant if the engine is outputting 50bhp or 5000 bhp. The power influences the time it takes for the gear to be “exhausted”.
The only way for you to increase speed whilst maintaining rotation (or decrease rotation whilst maintaining speed) is to add another gear to the gearbox.
Not criticizing the product, it probably is a very good one, and don’t take this as any type of attack or anything. Just pointing out the incorrect ion.
Keep putting out awesome content!
Great video Matt! I like the simplicity yet with all the necessary technical detail. Very informative.
Excellent, excellent video. Everything was spot on and well stated.
Great Explanation and Keep up the good work!!
Honestly these trucks are good to go out of the box so to speak. This really didn’t need done but it’s still very cool what you have done with your engines programming. I wish I could get this model here in the states. Sadly diesel isn’t big here in mid size trucks. Lower RPMs =‘s longer life than higher RPM gasoline engines. Torque is much much higher with diesel than gasoline also. 25-1 compression v/s 9-1 compression for gasoline engines makes a big difference in torque my friend. You have a very nice setup Matt. I am a little jealous honestly. Good job. Roughly 25 MPG in your truck v/s my GMC Sierra and it gets 10-11.5 MPG at best with a 5.3 ltr 325 HP gasoline engine with a 6 speed automatic 🤷♂️. Wish we had more diesel options over here.I spend 90$ usd every 4 days just to get a paycheck! I want a diesel brother. Stay blessed. Take care.
Hey Heath! Yes we are very lucky here. I have a feeling that with the oil price rocketing again that fuel economy is about to become even more important😅
I think as long as you don't horse it around too much, these kinds of things are a good deal. As long as each individual does their own research on it and knows what to expect and how to handle the vehicle after the installation, you can actually be doing your car a favor! Of course, in your case, it doesn't hurt that it's a Toyota! Lol
Hi Matt, maybe you can fit a cover for the propshaft and diff.
Would be nice to see the specific fuel consumption curve included in the power and torque graphs. And then compare the original fuel consumption with the chipped one at the same power or torque, that would tell the real story.
Really enjoy your vids. Don't have your budget but planning a Mahindra Karoo with some good tires. Baviaans is my favorite area. What do you think of the Mahindra?
Matt could you let me know who installed your unichip would like to get a price for my fortuner, Keep up those amazing videos
Hi Matt is the Vehicle still performing well with the Unichip installed?
Howzit Matt, I'm from Port Elizabeth, where did you have the chip fitted?
What is the difference between the modes in KW and NM
Hello matt i know you are very busy but would you mind giving me some suggestions. I have a toyota Corolla altis 1.6 manual 2011 model which is driven 215k kilometres. I want to make it faster. What mods can be done to it? Please tell both hardware upgrades possible like front pipe down pipe racing air filter and software upgrades like a custom tune or unichip. Btw i am from Pakistan lahore. Thanks. Will be waiting
hi matt, just want to find out who have done the chip for you
Done by “Steve’s Auto Clinic”
Everything is made to be modified
There is a reason why the military use old school Landrover.Because when SHTF the little computer chips in the flash toyota do you nothing and crumble like a tin can on impact...
