Terry,
Fair enough. Although the Autronic that Errol the Feral one mentioned sounds
good. Be interesting to see what it's worth.
I've been considering one of those Unichip boxes. I thought they looked
highly suss at first, but the more I hear about them the more I like them.
This is what was explained to me: they just go between the factory ECU and
the igniter/injectors. You back the dizzy off 10 degrees, then the ECU
functions as per normal, but the Unichip grabs the signal between the ECU to
the igniter and delays it as required to modify the timing. Same sort of
deal for the injectors - Unichip grabs the injector pulse and modifies the
width as required.
And you get to keep the niceties of the factory EFI - cold start, closed
loop operation for economy and reliable smooth idling. Given that the SR has
got a pretty reasonable ECU from the factory this option looks quite
attractive.
Anyone know anything about these things - even better, anyone tried one?

Pete,
Maybe "better" is not the correct word - more like imho the Wolf is a bit
more
user friendly for an sob to work out, although they tell me there is a new
Autronics unit about to come out that's supposed to be idiot proof. From
what
i've found with messing around with them a bit and might i add usually on
cars
that are not running real well, the Wolf unit seems to give pretty good
results
for the street. What i have noticed with these things is that certain brands
seem to suit a certain engine and sometimes not even manufacturer specific.
I
have only tried to get an FJt to at least run reasonably with an autronics
unit
a while back and it just was so difficult especially as i was about the 10th
person to have a go at it; yet we plugged in a Wolf 3D into a Cressida Wagon
with a 7MGTE (what a sleeper 300+hp) and it ran near perfectly on the
recommended default program for the engine.
