 TurboXS User-Tuneable Engine Computer (UTEC) Delta
The engineers at TurboXS have done it again with the User-Tuneable Engine Computer (UTEC) Delta. Like the Unichip, the UTEC plugs directly into the wiring harness of your WRX. Unlike the Unichip, which has a fixed program, the UTEC Delta has user-adjustable fuel, timing, and boost maps, so you can infinitely adjust the performance parameters of your WRX, without ever having to send in your ECU for re-programming.
Programming is accomplished by any PC, or even with a PDA running terminal software. You can create up to four separate programs, plus "stock" mode, that are selectable on the fly. (No need to get out the laptop to switch from your pump gas program to your race gas program, for example.) Please note: You MUST have a PC with a terminal program to make any adjustments to the UTEC.
The UTEC's ability to fine-tune the car blows away any device anywhere near its price range. You can alter fuel, timing and boost parameters every 250 rpms, over ten "load sites." You can program for larger injectors, you can advance or retard spark timing, you can adjust for manifold pressure, you can set boost according to throttle position and rpm...these are just some of the incredible features.
The UTEC also boasts a slew of safety features to help keep you out of trouble. There's automatic timing reduction when knock is detected. (The knock detection parameters are adjustable, of course!) There's a low-boost control to prevent overboost at part-throttle. Factory cold-start and warm-start routines are also retained, along with intake temperature compensation and AC compensation.
Like the Unichip, the UTEC Delta comes pre-programmed for a specific set of modifications, so you are ready to drive right out of the box. If you never change your car after that, there's never any need to re-program it. But if you change fuel injectors, intercooler, turbo, exhaust, or other significant performance upgrades, you can quickly re-tune the UTEC Delta to meet the demands of your new modifications.
You can easily download or upload maps, too, so you can share parameters with friends, retrieve the latest maps from TurboXS (always free, of course).
The UTEC Delta's data logging features allow you to record your engine's ECU inputs so you can more carefully analyze its performance, without having to watch six gauges while driving.
The UTEC Delta is easily installed in under a half-hour, with no cutting or soldering required. It plugs into the factory ECU harness, so it can just as easily be removed to return the car to stock condition. The auxiliary boost controller, which is required, can be installed within 15 minutes.
Future free software upgrades will allow more features, like programmable rev-limiter for drag racing, full MAP fuel metering to allow the elimination of the Mass Air Sensor, capability to drive low-impedance injectors, and more.
How well does it work? You can easily achieve gains of 30-40 horsepower -- at the wheels-- on an otherwise stock WRX. You can't find a better horsepower/dollar buy! And the power increases only go up as you add other performance parts.
The UTEC Delta works on all 2002-07 Subaru WRX, including the US STi model.
Of course, please remember: You can destroy your motor using this tool. Fuel and timing alterations, done improperly, can lead to extremely damaging detonation, which can destroy pistons, valves, and rings. Use this product at your own risk!
It is highly recommended that you have an aftermarket EGT or air/fuel meter installed when using the UTEC Delta.
UTEC Delta kit includes the UTEC Delta with plug-and-play ECU wiring harness, a grounding wire, an auxiliary boost controller, a protective cover, software, and serial cable.
