2. Fuel and Spark timing Computer Programming Unit (CPU)

The Unichip CPU is programmed to provide the proper spark timing and fuelenrichment under boost conditions. This additional control unit works with thestock ECU and does not effect the operation of the emission controls or demandon displacement feature of your vehicle, as designed by the manufacture.

The CPU is plug-and-play, wired into the factory wiring harness and electronicallyresides between the cars ECU and engine. The CPU is solid state multiple high-speed processors, about the size of a MP3 player, and makes fine tuningadjustments as needed. The CPU has several advanced features to use inputvalues from the sensors and communicates with the ECU to perform adjustmentautomatically.

The programs are carefully designed based off dyno tested results and are to beused with factory OEM components as delivered by the vehicle manufacture.

Any changes to the vehicles exhaust system or power adding components canhave an effect on tune up needed by the engine. If you want to install additionalperformance items manufactured by Arizona Speed & Marine contact yourauthorized dealer to get the CPU updated with the proper program.

Unichip spark and fuel management control box is warranted providing it wasinstalled properly to be free of manufacturing defects and materials for a periodof one year after the date of delivery to the original purchaser.

Unichip spark and fuel map controller (CPU) has pre-programmed tables thatwere developed on a stock 5.7L HEMI engine and engine control module (ECU)without any modification to the vehicle. Any modifications to the stock ECU suchas power programmers that increase spark timing or raise RPM limits can resultin damage to your engine.

Any additional modifications such as aftermarket exhaust require a differentcalibration. Any vehicle required for towing must also be required to have theUnichip CPU calibration modified by Arizona Speed & Marine.

Arizona Speed & Marine, Inc. neither implies nor guarantees the calibration iscorrect for after market exhaust, towing or racing applications. Arizona Speed &Marine, Inc. does offer an optional 36,000 mile 36 month warranty on oillubricated engine parts. To purchase the engine warranty see your dealer fordetails.

5.12 Fan & Traction Control – Optional

5.12.1 An optional kit is available to provide improved control of theengine cooling fan to assist cooling of the boosted engine. Thekit also provides features to control the factory traction controlsystem. Contract Arizona Speed and Marine regarding pricingand availability for your vehicle.

5.13 Final Inspection and Testing

5.13.1 Re-fill engine with factory specified engine oil.

5.13.2 Re-fill engine cooling system with approved coolant.

5.13.3 Add coolant to the intercooler fill system. Add coolant slowly andtoggle the ignition switch periodically to jog the pump to assistfilling and purge air from the system. Check for leaks.

5.13.4 With ignition switch ON, check for fuel leaks.

5.13.5 Check all hose clamps for tightness.

5.13.6 Start the engine and let the engine warm up to operatingtemperature. Ensure oil has been circulated through thesuperchargers oiling system and there are no oil leaks.

5.13.7 Using an OBD II scan tool ensure the engines ECU displays notrouble codes and there is no timing retard present as a result ofthe detonation under boost pressure. If detonation is present,ensure fuel pressure is at factory specification under boostconditions and the fuel in the vehicle is fresh and has not beenstored for an extended period.

5.13.8 Reassemble the front end of the vehicle by reversing thedisassembly steps.

5.14 Operational Information• It is recommended to remove the front crankshaft balancer bolt, apply

Loctite® or equivalent thread lock material and torque to 245 Ft-Lbs.

• Use minimum 91 octane fuel to minimize detonation.

• Do not use E85 fuel, as the fuel system cannot support the volume of fuelrequired under boost conditions.

• The OEM computer will remove timing and fuel to decrease power duringgear changes, this is feature to minimize transmission wear, and is part ofthe torque management system.

• Some noise will be transmitted through the drive belt at idle when the airconditioning compressor is engaged, and will disappear in off idleconditions, this is normal.

• Some whining noise will be heard as the supercharger spins at higherspeeds, this is normal.

• The lubrication system for the supercharger is supplied by the engines oilpump, and drains out of the supercharger back into the engine oil panwhere it will be recirculated and filtered.

• Use NGK TR5-1 V power spark plugs that are a colder range than theOEM spark plugs.

• Use coolant in the air/liquid after cooler to prevent corrosion and freezingin cold climate.

• Check fuel pressure every 6 months of operation to ensure the pressuredoes not drop from 59-60 PSI under wide open throttle. A drop in fuelpressure can lean the engine out and cause damage.

• Check the compression and leak down of the cylinders every 12 months ofoperation as a part of record keeping and maintenance.

• Perform maintenance on the vehicle as described in the owner’s manual.

• Your kit is supplied with eight new fuel injectors of a larger size. The stockintake manifold is designed to move air, and keep the inlet noise down. Ithas a tube that extends nearly half way into the manifold from the throttlevalve flange. This manifold design does not lend itself to simply installauxiliary injectors placed behind the throttle valve in the air stream. Inorder to get proper fuel distribution, we install larger injectors in each portas intended by the factory engineers.
