Why you should install a Unichip in your vehicle

Unichip Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Unichip vs. other performance chips on the market?
2. What is the Unichip?
3. How does the Unichip increase power and torque?
4. How much extra power can I expect from the Unichip?
5. Will the Unichip improve my car’s fuel economy?
6. How is the Unichip different from other performance chips?

Also have a look at our most popular turbo diesel plug & play and exhaust conversions, popular petrol stage1, 2 and 3 conversions.

Unichip – Frequently Asked Questions

· What is the Unichip?

Unichips are fully programmable engine management systems which allow 408 fuel and ignition parameters to be altered through a vehicle’s standard Engine Control unit (ECU) to deliver maximum power, optimised drivability and improved fuel economy.

Unlike other performance chips, the Uni Q chip is not a replacement pre-programmed chip that is made to fit all vehicles of the same sort.

Unichips work in harmony with the standard ECU and is mapped on your engine while on a chassis dynamometer to obtain the safest maximum power, torque and optimum fuel economy.

Do your homework well: Unichip vs. other performance chips on the market.

Get one from the SAC branch in your area.

Unichip vs other chips

Unichip Plug and Play

· Why should I install a Unichip to my Vehicle?

The most obvious reason is to increase engine performance.

Significant gains in torque and power across the entire RPM range are possible.

In addition, the engine will be smoother, deliver greater response and maximise fuel efficiency at all RPM and throttle positions.

A second reason is to harness the performance value of engine and exhaust modifications.

Standard engine management systems are not programmed to cater for exhaust branches, gasflowed cylinder heads, high performance air filters or reprofiled camshafts.

· How does the Unichip Increase Power & Torque?

Every engine requires optimum ignition timing and air fuel ratio at all RPM and load conditions.

The Unichip gives the experienced Dynamometer technician the access to, and ability, to adjust and optimise both the ignition and fuel system.

The Unichip has 17-RPM sites between 500 RPM and 8000 RPM and 12 load sites between zero throttle position and wide-open throttle position.

This equates to 204 possible adjustments for fuel and a further 204 adjustments for ignition timing. If you need more information, ask the Expert at the SAC Branch near you.

· How much extra Power can I expect from the Unichip?

Power gains of 10 KW to 30 KW are commonplace, as measured by an accurate chassis dynamometer.

Whilst less common, power gains of 50 KW have been verified.

The exact power gain however depends on the design and condition of the engine and the factory calibration of the engine control unit.

No two engines are identical.

The Unichip results represent the optimisation of each individual engine.

The Unichip results are verified by before and after dynamometer tests measured at 100% throttle opening across the entire rev range.

Ask your local SAC service provider about the various options available and the power figures associated with them.

· Will the Unichip Improve my Car’s Fuel Economy? Yes…

In most driving conditions, the Unichip will improve fuel economy.

Many modern fuel injected vehicles waste fuel by running very rich air fuel ratios at part throttle openings.

With the Unichip, it is a simple procedure to correctly adjust the air fuel ratio over 12 throttle positions and maximize the fuel economy for cruising at part throttle.

Ask your local SAC service provider about figures associated with your vehicle.

· How is the Unichip different from other “Performance Chips”?

The Unichip is a supplementary engine management system.

As such, it is far more advanced than “generic plug-in performance chip” products.

It is individually programmable to meet the requirements of the engine and the driver.

Being fully adjustable, the Unichip can cater for non-standard, current and future engine modifications.

Best of all, the Unichip can deliver the most personalised power result every time – uniquely tuned for fuel type and rating, and even particular ambient conditions of operation. Get a Unichip at the SAC Branch nearest to you.

Why the stage 1 conversion is still the best bang per buck.

Gasflowed / Big Valve Cylinder Heads for your Motor Car, SUV, Truck / Bakkie & Bike | Petrol & Diesel

Cylinder Head Conversions

View our recent most popular Stage 1 (chip, exhaust & branch), Stage 2 (Cylinder head) and Stage 3 (Supercharger) conversions.

The Gas Flowed Cylinder head

In the early eighties, modified or gasflowed / big valve cylinder heads were only ever found on racing cars. Today gasflowed / big valve cylinder heads have become very popular, given the current fuel pricing and huge gap in price between the top and middle of the range models, to enhance the power output of almost any modern vehicle. SAC Engineering has all the latest equipment and technical expertise to develop and gas flow cylinder heads for even the most recently launched petrol and diesel models. Contact us about cylinder head replacement, refurbishment or conversions.

CYLINDER HEAD CONVERSIONS

Why does one Gas Flow a Cylinder Head?

Simply because this is what enhances the power.
In order to maximise the explosion within the combustion chamber area of the cylinder head, we need to let as much as possible air / fuel mixture into the chamber.
This mixture enters the chamber through the inlet port and is controlled by the inlet valve.
Once this mixture is in place and gets ignited by a properly timed spark, the piston is forced downwards.
The bigger the explosion, the more the downward force and the result is “More Power”.
After the combustion stroke has taken place, the burnt gas exits the chamber past the exhaust valve and through the exhaust port into the exhaust system.
This entire process is enhanced when the cylinder head has been gasflowed.

How do we do it?

Without going into great detail for obvious reasons, we use a flowbench on which we are able to measure port flow before and after the head has been flowed.
In most cases we are able to increase the flow through a port by roughly 20%.
This is achieved by carefully removing sharp edges and rounding acute corners, concentrating usually at the roof of the port where the highest flow activity takes place.
We remove as little material as possible to ensure a lower overall port volume.
Depending on the requirement, in most cases we tend to go for high flowing, small, high velocity port, which produce good top end power with virtually no bottom end loss.
A great deal of time is spent on the valves and valve seats, where we gain good air flow with small valve openings.
The combustion chamber as well as the exhaust ports are also changed considerably to promote more complete combustion.

A few of the Benefits of Gasflowed Cylinder Heads

Optimum power & torque
Lower Maintenance costs
No visual change in the engine bay
No risk of overheating
More Power and Torque (Especially when towing)
Excellent value for money
Improved fuel consumption
Fewer Gear changes
Improved fuel consumption
Quicker throttle response
Cleaner burning engine
Reliable performance
Flowbench developed
6 months / 20 000km Warranty

Performance enhancement packaging makes sense

You need to remember that there are many ways of increasing the power and torque of a vehicle – bolt on kits, tuning chips, airfilter changes and exhaust system modifications mention only a few.
But, you need to understand that the big gain comes from a good combination of all of these bolt ons and tuning techniques packaged with a good cylinder head flow job.
The cylinder head will always be the key component of a performance enhancement package on any normally aspirated engine.

Contact to your local SAC service provider about performance enhancement packages for your vehicle.

SAC Toyota Fortuner / Hilux 3.0 D-4D

Toyota’s Hilux has been by far one of South Africa’s bakkies, and the new model generation continues this trend.

And as you already know, Steves Auto Clinic has had performance upgrades available for this vehicle, petrol and diesel; from the day they hit the road.

But with the arrival of the new Q-Chip, which allows the tuner a host of new options by which to perfectly optimise / tune up your vehicle, the Hilux 3.0 D-4D, turbodiesel, has been put through the test mill again..

How It Works

The Power Plug is not to be confused with the mostly, overseas sourced and local condition non-specific, re-flash methods of tuning that most performance enthusiasts seem familiar with in which the OEM ECU code is simply generically re-written with a hand held programmer via the vehicle’s OBD port.

With the Power Plug, all the changes occur within this unit and are electrically communicated to your vehicle’s engine control system.

No changes are made within the OEM computer, and thus all the engine safety parameters as set by the manufacturer remain in place.

And once the Power Plug is installed, it leaves no electronic “footprint”, and this also applies should you want to remove the unit, unlike when you program the OEM ECU with a re-flash programmer, the ECU knows and records that it has been reprogrammed.

Even if you re-flash your OEM back to stock prior to service work, the OEM ECU dutifully reports how many times it has been re-flashed whenever the dealer checks via their diagnostic equipment, and if it reports something different than what the dealer’s records reflect, some difficult questions could arise.

Installation

The Power Plug comes as a complete stand-alone product, complete with a wiring harness that plugs directly into the OEM ECU via connectors that are perfectly matched to the factory connectors on your vehicle.

There is no dangerous or complicated cutting into of wires on your vehicles existing main wiring harness and there is also no room for errors by wiring the wrong wires together.

From start to finish, most installation times are less than five minutes (depending on the options you choose) and everything stays as is in your vehicle.

No extended and inconvenient vehicle down time, no long hours spent on the dyna, and no stripping and modifying of parts.

As already mentioned, the Power Plug is completely removable, and this means that you can choose to remove the unit from your vehicle when you want to sell it or you can transfer it to another vehicle of the same model type should you upgrade your vehicles.

Tuning Options

The basic Power Plug kit comes in the form of a unit that has only one performance option fitted and is non-switchable to other performance maps.

But you can also opt for the more flexible multi-map unit, which includes a two-position option via which you can change between a standard map and the upgraded map, or you can configure that same unit to allow you to choose from up to five different map settings for your vehicle.

So now you can have an everyday traffic map, a map for towing, a map for open road performance but to name a few of the options that can be tailor made for whatever motoring requirement you might have.

At this stage, this technology and switching capability is via a neat and functional unit supplied with the Power Plug, but Bluetooth switching is currently being developed so that you can change the performance map on your car via your cell phone in the future.

This flexible and local condition and vehicle specific method of tuning can in layman’s terms be likened to an artist painting his own renditions of what he sees as opposed to someone merely photocopying a picture of something not quite the same as what the artist sees but still hopes that it will work and look almost like the artist’s efforts.

Steves Auto Clinic are well aware that any motor manufacturer reserves the right to cancel your vehicles factory warranty and / or motorplan / service plan should you modify your vehicle, be it from mild to totally wild.

But it is worth noting that this not only applies to tuning upgrades, a little known fact is that this scenario can extend to something as the simple fitting of aftermarket alloy wheels, to even sound system upgrades that are not authorised.

But in SAC’s 30 years as the country’s leading aftermarket performance enhancers and over the course of thousands and thousands of performance upgrades, history has shown that most manufacturer service outlets treat their clients with the same respect that their clients treat them, and this includes those that have had their vehicles responsibly upgraded.

Development

For further peace of mind, SAC is the only aftermarket performance enhancing concern in South Africa to have a dedicated and stand-alone Research & Development Centre.

This centre is responsible for the development, via their own specifically purchased vehicles, and the subsequent comprehensive testing of these vehicles under local conditions, for all the performance upgrade packages as undertaken by the entire SAC Group of outlets situated countrywide.

So besides knowing that your vehicle is not being used a test mule to fine tune some companies claimed performance capabilities, you can be assured, no matter which SAC branch you take your vehicle to, the quality of the upgrade will be the same.

Contact the SAC Branch near you if you have other questions related to Unichip performance chip tuning.

Automotive Chips / Chip tuning has been around for a number of years now, and is being used more and more on a daily basis, but to say that this technology has evolved is the understatement of the 21st Century.

Tuning with a 13 spanner and a timing light is about as outdated as using any other method of tuning these days that merely allows you to electronically change timing, fuel or boost.

The Uni Q Chip has truly evolved over the past 15 years to become a universal tuning tool that can be wired into almost any vehicle via the existing computer harness or simply plugged in via a specially made harness.

Talk to the SAC Consultant in your area about performance enhancement upgrades.

This specially made harness requires no cutting and soldering of wires to the OEM equipment, but as already stated, now with world class adaptability and functionality.

Would it surprise you to find out that besides the controlling the basics of tuning, this is but only a fraction of what the Uni Q Chip can do.

The Uni Q Chip can also offer the enthusiast functionality like launch control with or without shift light control, intercooler and water injection spray control, full NOS control, drive extra injectors for big horsepower upgrades, electronically control the cams on applicable cars.

With anything else you can think of in between, right down to having five different maps to choose from and control either via a mechanical rotary switch or via your Bluetooth enabled phone?

By the simple turn of a dial or a push of a cell phone button, your everyday drive can turn into a track monster making full use of all the functionality already listed and when required, turn back into a stock standard fuel efficient commuter that will potter through the traffic all day long.

This too applies to your SUV or Bakkie, you can have a map setting that will vastly improve your towing capability, and then be able to switch it back for doing the 9 to 5 school run.

And should you sell your vehicle, the best part is that you don’t lose the investment you have made with your Uni Q Chip, as it is transferable from car to car, with a bit of re-mapping and sorting of course for your new vehicle’s particular parameters.

Uni Q Chips are used in 47 countries around the world as the preferred tuning solution… where ever you find car guys looking to make more power and improve fuel consumption, you’ll find the Uni Q Chip.

Aftermarket manufacturers like APS, Prodrive, Turbonetics, Vortech, Procharger, and Turbo Performance Center among others have selected Unichip as their engine control solution.

So the bottom line is, if you are not tuning your vehicle with a Uni Q Chip you are not unleashing the full potential of your vehicle or making use of the wide range of performance options this powerful tuning tool allows you in being number one on the drag strip or simply having a more drivable car that uses less fuel on the journey to work and back each day.

Can you think of another product that offers you all this?

To find out more, contact a SAC branch near you and be prepared to be blown away at what is on offer at a highly competitive price?

SAC Automotive Workshops

Vehicle service, diagnostics, electrical / electronic & mechanical repairs

Preventative Maintenance

Servicing goes very much hand in hand with preventative maintenance. Far more serious and expensive issues like cambelt failure, oil leaks, brake failure, knocking noises from the CV joints, diff whines etc. are fast becoming the order of the day. Why? It’s simple; there is a lack of or no preventative maintenance, and most often it is the latter, no maintenance at all.

Take for example a Sump Services, they are no longer happening in workshops or garages. Many mechanics are too lazy to remove the sump and clean the oil pick up and the inside of the sump and replace it. Many owners also don’t want to pay for the gaskets and this service. But we don’t have to tell you how many engine failures are a direct result of this simple process not being done. A relatively inexpensive sump service or an engine rebuild or replacement for around R50 000?

You know which one sounds better to you.

Service & Repair Workshop

More often than not, fixing a car today is complicated even for highly skilled technicians at SAC who know the job and do it every day. One needs to be very careful these days when it comes to having work done on your motor vehicle. Can you really imagine a D.I.Y. or backyard mechanic who last saw the inside of a engine say 10 years ago, trying to do this job.

Generally speaking service mechanics who work from home or in a small garage or repair shop can help you fix an older car, a 1980 model or something like that, but don’t be fooled, they can’t fix today’s modern and far more complicated cars, often they can’t even remove an engine cover without breaking it.

Technologically speaking engines today can and sometimes do last for 500,000 to 700,000 km without catastrophic failure. Our own delivery vehicles are testimony of this; we have one vehicle that has done more than a one million km. Sure it has had many preventative maintenance and service related repairs done, but it still drives like it should, looks respectable and most importantly, it is reliable. It’s only when a vehicle is not properly maintained that it ends up becoming very costly to own and becomes undrivable long before it should.

Hospitalisation could be extremely expensive and would certainly have been unnecessary. Failures don’t just happen, there will always be an explainable reason for a failure of any nature, and most times it’s as a result of inadequate service intervals and / or a shortage of water, oil, antifreeze or similar. Now days with turbo diesels being all the rage in bakkies, SUVs and cars and the ever increasing move by manufacturers to bring out small capacity petrol turbo cars to beat the emission laws. The hot topic is turbo failure and more so the unnecessary turbo replacement on turbo diesels for instance, 95% of them are oil starvation related so again an inexpensive oil change or a R20 000 turbo repair or replacement.

People are quick to diagnose the problem as being the turbo, but using the logic we have already discussed here, the turbo does not just blow, it fails because of some or other reason and unless that reason is identified and rectified, it will happen over and over. The exact same thing happens when it comes to diesel pump repairs, again 95% are related to inadequate lubrication as a direct result of diesel filters not being replaced regularly enough and not the pump itself. A diesel filter for a R100 or a pump repair for R10 000? You know the drill, which sounds better?

Preventative maintenance is not only linked to your engine, how often do you see relatively new vehicles with a windscreen scratched by worn or broken wiper blades, is that really necessary? A windscreen replacement might not only destroy your no claim bonus on your insurance, but it could also cost up to R10 000 in hard earned money out of your pocket if you don’t have short term insurance. It is the same when you run your tyres with the correct pressure all the time, you could easily see them lasting up to 70 000 km, yet while having them too soft or too hard could shorten their life down to say 40 000 km. That means you are buying new rubber twice as often as you should, and you know that tyres are far from cheap these days.

What about your car’s exhaust? A broken exhaust is not only noisy, it can cost you extra in fuel and even go so far as to burn the valves in the cylinder head as a result of your engine running too lean and result in an expensive repair bill that could have been avoided. SAC offer a full range of exhaust repair and replacement options that include the fitment of OEM parts right up to the best in hand made stainless steel performance exhaust systems out there today. The bottom line is that repair bills are drastically reduced by very basic maintenance and regular service intervals and we at SAC offer you a full range of service and preventative maintenance options to suit any budget.

People are quick to diagnose the problem as being the turbo, but using the logic we have already discussed here, the turbo does not just blow, it fails because of some or other reason and unless that reason is identified and rectified, it will happen over and over.

Repairing a car engine today is a costly exercise, especially when you want to go to the next level or enjoy a few more luxuries, which are often offered in a similar new model.

By spending a small amount of money we could remanufacture a car engine to the engines original factory specifications or for a small amount more we can just as easily upgrade your vehicle’s engine while rebuilding it, saving you rands and cents which could be spent on a few cosmetic changes.

SAC WORKSHOPS

There are many workshops and so-called engineers out there today who claim that they can build engines for almost next to nothing, be warned – “Penny wise, pound foolish!!!”

In most cases the car engine uses more water and oil than before the rebuild.

When rebuilding / tuning a engine at SAC, we use only the best parts and automotive engineers in the business and are therefore not afraid to back our work with a warranty of 6 months/20 000kms after which we won’t run away or close the doors in the event of a claim.

Stage 1 Conversion
Still Best Bang per Buck!

Stage 1 conversion pricing options available at the SAC branch near you

No matter how you slice and dice it, a Stage 1 conversion or performance upgrade is still the best value for money decision you can make when looking for some extra urge or drivability for your car, leisure vehicle, SUV or bakkie.

It makes no difference if your vehicle is petrol or diesel powered, not only will you gain an improvement in throttle response that you can actually feel thanks to the increase in low down torque and extra horsepower on tap throughout the rev range, there will also in most cases be a noticeable improvement in fuel consumption too.

A Stage 1 conversion for a petrol driven vehicle basically consists of the fitting of a performance air filter, performance free flow exhaust and performance branch along with a UniChip, Uni Q Chip or Plug Play module to map the engine to perfection.

On the diesels the same recipe is followed minus the performance branch to ensure that you get the best from your vehicle.
All Stage 1 conversions can be done in a single day, so no long down time without your vehicle and it involves no stripping or opening up of the engine.

Contact one of our sales consultants and be prepared to be amazed at what can be achieved for so little.

Popular performance conversions at Steve’s Auto Clinic (for up to 30% more power):

SAC opens doors in Klerksdorp

SAC first Bakkie Centre opens in Klerksdorp
SAC partners with Safari Centre 4×4
Full dyno tuning and servicing capabilities available on-site
Contact SAC Klerksdorp

Ford-Ranger-Texas-Walker-conversion-small Klerksdorp is the epicentre for a market-changing innovation from the team at Steve’s Auto Clinic.

The city is home to the first SAC Bakkie Centre, which has opened on the corner of Meteor and Chromium Road in Uraniaville, Klerksdorp. The new SAC Bakkie Centre will offer all that SAC has become known for, including world class vehicle servicing and performance enhancement, but it will focus solely on pick-ups and the growing SUV leisure market.

Toyota-Hilux-Fortuner-truckloads-small The new SAC Bakkie Centre recognises South African’s love of bakkies and SUVs and the growing lifestyle and leisure market. By focussing on a small number of vehicles from well known brands, including vehicles such as the Toyota Fortuner, Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, Isuzu KB and VW Amarok, the SAC Bakkie Centre can offer a one-stop-shop to the owners of these vehicles. This includes vehicle maintenance and servicing, performance enhancement and dyno tuning, the fitment of off road and leisure equipment and specialist advice.

In support of this new innovation, SAC has partnered with the off road and lifestyle specialists at Safari Centre 4×4. This means that the new SAC Bakkie Centre not only offers vehicle maintenance and performance enhancement services, but also a comprehensive range of off road conversion equipment and accessories and the technical expertise to fit this equipment.

According to Charl Roos, SAC Trucks and SAC Bakkie Klerksdorp co-owner, the overwhelming increase in requests for commercial vehicle enhancements and accessories made the decision to create the new SAC Bakkie Centre easy. “And who better to compliment the SAC culture than a well-established and prominent entity in the 4X4 sector than Safari Centre!”

Says SAC Trucks managing director, Hein Lategan: “SAC has become a lifestyle which is expressed in both work and leisure. We at SAC cater for both the truck owner that needs to keep his vehicles operational as well as the customer who wants to enjoy his vehicle or bakkie during his free time.”

The SAC Bakkie Centre builds on the expertise and nationwide network of the SAC Group. Today, SAC employs over 375 staff and has a network of 10 SAC Truck and general 10 SAC service centres. It also caters for Harley-Davidson owners through its SAC Raging Bull centre and has a world-class Engineering division.

Using this network, the SAC Bakkie Centre starts from day one with highly specialised technical staff on board and access to the Steve’s Auto Clinic warehouse and distribution system, which delivers daily to Klerksdorp.

The SAC brand also means that bakkie and SUV owners who service and upgrade their vehicles at the new centre will have all the benefit of SAC’s affiliation with Unichip and Powerplug for performance enhancements and the peace of mind of the company’s Why Worry Warranty that guarantees all service parts and workmanship.

“By drawing on this nationwide SAC network and that of Safari Centre 4×4, the new SAC Bakkie Centre can offer high-quality and affordable service parts for all main brand bakkies and SUVs and a range of accessories that are readily available and regularly updated,” says Charl Roos, co-owner of the SAC Bakkie Centre and SAC Trucks Centre in Klerksdorp.

The SAC Bakkie Centre has opened its doors on 1 April 2016. For more information, contact Jaco Smit on 018 469 9300 .

SAC Isuzu KB 300 D-TEQ – Performance Enhancement Conversions

Popular Isuzu KB Conversions

Turbo Diesel Plug & Play and Exhaust Conversions

– POWER OPTIONS FOR THE LATEST ISUZU BAKKIES –

ISUZU KB300 D-TEQ

The Isuzu name has been linked to diesel engine technology for over 70 years and as such, these pioneers are ranked amongst the world’s largest producers of diesel engines. And just as these pioneers continue to break ground, so do the performance tuners at Steves Auto Clinic who themselves celebrate their 30th year as South Africa’s foremost aftermarket performance enhancers.

It is also fitting then that SAC has already launched a very cost effective, R6900 suggested retail price, performance upgrade package for the new Isuzu KB 300 D-TEQ that sees this South African favourite blow away the competition.

Turbo Diesel Optimizations

Fitted with a completely new 3.0 litre D-TEQ engine that produces a very decent 120 kW at 3600 rpm, along with 360 Nm of torque that is delivered over a rev range of 1800 – 2800 rpm, this popular bakkie produces good performance figures in stock standard trim.

The 0-100 km/h sprint is taken care of in just short of 13 seconds; the 1 km sprint comes up in 34 seconds at 150 km/h odd, and top speed stops at 175 km/h. But when fitted with a SAC PowerPlug, this all changes for the better. Now you might be wondering exactly what is a PowerPlug and how does it work on my vehicle?

In simple terms, the PowerPlug is a pre-wired unit in the form of a re-programmable piggyback computer that plugs into your vehicles standard Electric Control Unit. So there is no cutting and guessing with your vehicles existing and complicated wiring harness. This unit then allows one of SAC’s top-class tuners to fine-tune your vehicle on the dyna to local South African conditions whilst most importantly, not affecting any of the electronic safety parameters built into the engine’s ECU by manufacturers.

SAC Isuzu KB 300 D-TEQ

After this had been done, power and torque figures from the dyna should see your Isuzu make around 15% more power and 20% more torque.

Impressive stuff indeed and this gain is backed up not only by the massively improved drivability of the Isuzu, but your steady speed fuel consumption is improved too.

The raw data thrown out by the Isuzu KB 300 D-TEQ LX Double Cab 2×4 when independently tested at the high altitude of the world-renowned Gerotek testing facilities was even better. 0-100 km/h now comes up in less than 11 seconds, the 1 km sprint is down to 32 seconds at almost 160 km/h now, and finally the top speed, although this is a very arbitrary number in terms of everyday driving, is up to just over 180 km/h.

Performance Data
Sprint Times	Standard	SAC
ACCELERATION:
0 – 60 km/h:	5.33 secs	4.69 secs
0 – 80 km/h:	8.37 secs	7.26 secs
0 – 100 km/h:	12.81 secs	10.90 secs
0 – 120 km/h:	18.20 secs	16.17 secs
Quarter mile:	18.51 secs @ 121.05 km/h	17.70 secs @ 125.93 km/h
1 km:	34.15 secs @ 150.75 km/h	32.60 secs @ 159.10 km/h
60-100km/h (4th):	9.08 secs	8.02 secs
80-120 km/h (5th):	14.08 secs	11.93 secs
True Top Speed:	175.99 km/h	180.87 km/h

But what may count even more to many in the real, locally, traffic congested, world of constantly having to overtake large trucks and slow moving traffic out on the open road; is the fact that the overtaking times are greatly reduced at the same time.

The 60-100 km/h segment in 4th gear is now completed in 8 seconds as opposed to 9 seconds, which in turn is quite a large distance on the road.

The ever realistic, 80-120 km/h test in 5th gear is subsequently down over 2 seconds, and this translates into a massive saving of time on the wrong side of the road.

TRD Supercharger Power Upgrades for your Toyota ortuner, Hilux, Land Cruiser & Prado at SAC

Popular Toyota 4.0 Litre V6 Conversions:

Petrol Stage 1, 2 & 3 Conversions

TRD Supercharger Power for your Toyota 4.0 litre V6

For some, a maximum power output of 175 kW at 5 200 rpm and maximum torque of 376 Nm at 3 800 rpm is just not enough from their 4.0 V6 Toyota, albeit in a Fortuner, Hilux or even Land Cruiser 75 Series.

Petrol Stage 1 & 2 Conversions

But what if this is still not enough?

Then the only option you can consider then is the fitment of a genuine Toyota Racing Developments (TRD) Supercharger kit.

This TRD supercharger kit is available at any one of our SAC branches, and coming from Toyota Racing Developments (TRD), you know that this kit is going to be as good and reliable as anything that comes directly from the factory.

In fact, the kit is so good, that overseas, when it is installed by an authorised Toyota dealer, the supercharger has the same warranty as the power train or the balance of the new car warranty, whichever is greater.

Unfortunately, it must be noted that no such agreement is in place in South Africa and the fitment of this kit can affect your warranty.

But back to the kit itself, it is also developed purely for use on the 4.0 V6 petrol Toyota engine, so it is not a case of fitting a generic unit and hoping that it will work like you expect.

Every nut, bolt and pipe goes exactly where it is meant to go and this results in a kit that not only does the job, but looks the part too

This supercharger system features Eaton roots-type rotating components in a one-piece integral manifold, iridium spark plugs, and a five-rib serpentine drive belt system running at around 0.5 bar of boost pressure.

Petrol Stage 1 & 2 Conversions

Hilux & Fortuner 4.0 Conversion

This is enough to turn your Toyota in a real tar burner, now with 250kW and 5300Nm of power and torque available for you to exploit at the mere prod of the accelerator pedal.

You will also have vastly improved low down torque and this you know results in far nicer vehicle to drive on a daily basis.

So if you just want the strongest Toyota Fortuner, Hilux or Land Cruiser in town because you do, or perhaps you want to tow with absolute ease, then you should consider giving SAC a call.

Please Note: The supercharger kit does not fit vehicles with the up-rated V6 engine used in the FJ Cruiser (200Kw & 380Nm) & the Land Cruiser Prado (202Kw & 381Nm).

CitiROX 1.6i Volkswagen Performance Upgrades Power Engine Conversions

The Automatic Power Choice for VW’s Amarok

Volkswagen’s Citi Golf has been one of South Africa’s most popular cars since its humble beginnings back in the late seventies with sales still continuing as strong as ever today some 30 odd years down the road.

It was with this in mind that the team at Steves Auto Clinic, who ironically are also heading towards the 30 year milestone as the country’s leading performance enhancement specialists, decided to subtlety tweak a brand new 1.6i CitiROX.

Turbo Diesel Plug & Play
and Exhaust Conversions

Petrol Turbo Chip & Down Pipe or Exhaust Conversions

SAC have enhanced thousands of VW’s over the years at their branches situated around the country and many Citi Golfs in that mix too.

But the thinking behind this particular car was to demonstrate some of their capabilities within an ever decreasing motoring budget that is the unfortunately the norm these days.

Over the years, the Citi Golf has been constantly upgraded, in fact the interior of the latest derivatives are a far cry from the original in terms of look, and the ROX was chosen because its sporty dark interior aptly harks back to that of the first GTI.

But this upgrade treatment was not only the reserve of the interior; the powerplants keep getting stronger too over the years.

So much so that the current 1.6 litre on test here makes 74 kW at 5 400 rpm and 140 Nm at 4 400 rpm and this is good enough to see the ROX hit 100 km/h in a shade under 11 seconds, cross the ¼ mile in almost 18 seconds, go through 1 km in 33 seconds at just over 150 km/h.

Top speed, which is academic in an aerodynamically challenged vehicle, comes in at 175 km/h.

But adding some serious bite to the cool new bark that the 70mm stainless steel De Graaf mandrel bent free flow exhaust, that was developed specifically in conjunction with SAC, and the De Graaf performance branch now delivers, comes courtesy of a cylinder head that has been gas flowed to perfection and fitted with SAC custom big valves and a camshaft that has been cut to SAC’s own special requirements.

A Sportflo air filter, air box mod and adjustable rising rate fuel pressure regulator also do duty.

This somewhat grumpier and 20% stronger Citi Golf now romps to 100 km/h in just over 10 seconds, gets through the ¼ mile in the low 17’s and only stops when the top speed has passed the 180 km/h mark.

In fact to put the sprinting difference into proper perspective, the standard car got to 160 km/h in a tardy 46 seconds, the SAC ROX gets there in 32 seconds, a massive 14 seconds difference at the oxygen deprived altitude of the Reef

This impressive trend continues in the in gear acceleration tests that see the SAC car romp through the gears way quicker that the standard car without having a negative effect on fuel consumption when driven normally.

Finally using a UNI Q Chip to merely show off the technology and functionality that can now be applied to an everyday street car, the team at SAC set up the ROX with a natty adjustable launch controller for lightning quick starts, a lower rev limiter option and even an immobiliser selection all via the supplied rotary switch that forms the final but non essential part of this upgrade that would suit the absolute enthusiast.

As always, all workmanship is backed by a 6 months / 20 000 Why Worry Warranty and SAC can offer you various stages and packages starting from around R6 000 for the Stage One exhaust, branch, air filter and regulator mod, to the full house version.

The long term plan for this Golf is to transform it into a 2.0 litre street racer with a limited slip diff, upgraded suspension and big brakes, so be prepared to ROX’ed in the Citi as the journey for this car is far from over.

To find out more or to get a salesman to call you, just take a drive through the comprehensive and informative SAC website at www.steves.co.za .

The Toyota Land Cruiser is known as the Master of Africa, and rightly so, this vehicle’s reputation for reliability and the ability to go almost anywhere is unquestionable.

But the aftermarket trend, regardless of powerplant fitted, has been that most owners want that little bit more in the power department.

Enter tuning specialists, Steves Auto Clinic, and watch as the recently launched 79 Series Cruiser Pick-Up in 4.0 V6 guise gets well and truly transformed.

Although the group offers a full house Stage 3 TRD supercharger kit for this engine, (you will be hearing more about this once the test results are completed), this particular upgrade here mostly shows off the best that one of their own state of the art in house divisions, SAC Engineering and their principle product suppliers, can deliver in naturally aspirated form.

The Cruiser is no slouch in standard trim, a healthy 170 kW of power and 360 Nm of torque that is available from the trusty V6 ensures decent acceleration and overtaking ability, but the quest for more is ever present, especially if you want to tow or lug around stuff on the back.

By applying the trusted principles of improved volumetric efficiency, which basically means getting as much air in and out engine as quickly as possible while being able to completely ignite it and utilise it all in order to ensure maximum power without sacrificing reliability or drivability, the team at SAC were able make the Cruiser substantially quicker and better across all the standard road test segments when independently tested at Gerotek just outside Pretoria.

As always, SAC have various stages available to suit any budget, and first up the pick-up received a Wildcat performance branch and full 76mm stainless steel free flow exhaust along with a SAC airbox mod that allows for better airflow in and out of the engine, all expertly controlled by a Uni Q Chip that ensured the fuel and timing was spot on.

The net result was that the pick-up now made around 195 kW and 420 Nm and could get to 100 km/h in 10.46 seconds, down from the standard bakkie’s 11.55 seconds, along with a top speed that went from 171 km/h to 188 km/h.

This Stage 1 upgrade that takes about 2 days to install and comes in at a price that starts at around R13 000, depending if you want to opt for the slightly more expensive ceramic coated branches or not.

But for around a further R12 000 you can opt for the roughly one week Stage 2 option, and this sees the cylinder heads being gasflowed and blue printed to perfection, and your Cruiser now blasting to 100 km/h in under 10 seconds at 9.78 seconds, with all the in gear acceleration times being substantially quicker as well as a top speed that now comes in at 195.69 km/h thanks to the roughly 220 kW and 470 Nm under your right foot.

Besides the drivability that has improved so much, you will not believe that this is the same vehicle you drove into SAC with, towing, karting goods around or climbing up your favourite mountain range now becomes an absolute breeze, all the while your pocket benefits from improved fuel consumption.

The good news is that these upgrades apply directly to the 4.0 litre Hilux, Fortuner and Prado as they share the same engine, and in principle can also be applied to the likes of Nissan’s V6 Navara, Isuzu’s 3.5 litre V6 and Ford’s big 4.0 litre V6.

Please Note: The supercharger kit does not fit vehicles with the up-rated V6 engine used in the FJ Cruiser (200Kw & 380Nm) & the Land Cruiser Prado (202Kw & 381Nm).

SAC Work their Exhaust Magic on Chevy’s Lumina SS

Chevrolet’s potent Lumina SS is legendary in performance car circles and this latest generation muscle car is almost all that a driver could want. But what if you are the type of enthusiast that wants something more?

Enter Steves Auto Clinic with their 30 years of experience in the performance enhancement business and their class leading and professional approach to extracting reliable horsepower.

Just as vehicle performance technology has moved on, so has exhaust technology.

Chevrolet Lumina SS Performance Exhaust System / Engine Upgrades.

Paying as little as possible for an exhaust system translates into you more than likely getting a noisy system that is generically bent, and ultimately crimped closed, on a pipe bender and welded to universal mild steel silencers.

But this is certainly not the case with the completely handmade, stainless steel, mandrel bent, 76mm system that is available for the 6.0 litre Generation IV V8 powerplant on Lumina. This system is equal in terms of quality, look, fitment and power gain to any system, costing thousands of Euros or Dollars, on the shelf overseas today.

In standard form the Lumina SS produces 270 kW at 5 700 rpm and a peak torque of 530 Nm at 4 400 rpm,

strong enough to get this full sized sedan to 100 km/h in a fraction over 6 seconds, 200 km/h in 23 seconds, and stop at a limited top speed of 237 km/h.

On goes the SAC exhaust and now not only does your Lumina sound the business, it also goes quite a bit better thanks to the extra 20 horsepower that is now on tap under your right foot. 100 km/h comes up in under 6 seconds in a tyre smoking blur, and 200 km/h is dispatched in not much over 21 seconds.

Thanks to a little R1 000 mod that can be done at the same time as the R12 000 bespoke exhaust system is fitted, the top speed limiter is removed and the Lumina now also romps to a top speed that is on the fast side of 260 km/h.

Of course, as is always the case at SAC, you have a few other options available to you. You can leave the standard limiter in place; you can enquire about a cheaper mild steel option or even a more generic non handmade performance exhaust for your SS.

Whatever your needs or your budget, SAC has an option for you to consider, so to find out more about this upgrade and the other popular options for the true enthusiast like gas flowing the heads, fitting bigger valves and fitting performance camshafts to really take your Lumina to the next level, visit www.steves.co.za .

After this had been done, power and torque figures from the dyna should see your Isuzu make around 15% more power and 20% more torque.

Impressive stuff indeed and this gain is backed up not only by the massively improved drivability of the Isuzu, but your steady speed fuel consumption is improved too.

0 – 80 km/h:	8.37 secs	7.26 secs

0 – 120 km/h:	18.20 secs	16.17 secs

60-100km/h (4th):	9.08 secs	8.02 secs
80-120 km/h (5th):	14.08 secs	11.93 secs
True Top Speed:	175.99 km/h	180.87 km/h

The 60-100 km/h segment in 4th gear is now completed in 8 seconds as opposed to 9 seconds, which in turn is quite a large distance on the road.

The ever realistic, 80-120 km/h test in 5th gear is subsequently down over 2 seconds, and this translates into a massive saving of time on the wrong side of the road.

But what if this is still not enough?

Then the only option you can consider then is the fitment of a genuine Toyota Racing Developments (TRD) Supercharger kit.

Unfortunately, it must be noted that no such agreement is in place in South Africa and the fitment of this kit can affect your warranty.

But back to the kit itself, it is also developed purely for use on the 4.0 V6 petrol Toyota engine, so it is not a case of fitting a generic unit and hoping that it will work like you expect.

Every nut, bolt and pipe goes exactly where it is meant to go and this results in a kit that not only does the job, but looks the part too

Hilux & Fortuner 4.0 Conversion

This is enough to turn your Toyota in a real tar burner, now with 250kW and 5300Nm of power and torque available for you to exploit at the mere prod of the accelerator pedal.

You will also have vastly improved low down torque and this you know results in far nicer vehicle to drive on a daily basis.

So if you just want the strongest Toyota Fortuner, Hilux or Land Cruiser in town because you do, or perhaps you want to tow with absolute ease, then you should consider giving SAC a call.

Please Note: The supercharger kit does not fit vehicles with the up-rated V6 engine used in the FJ Cruiser (200Kw & 380Nm) & the Land Cruiser Prado (202Kw & 381Nm).

SAC have enhanced thousands of VW’s over the years at their branches situated around the country and many Citi Golfs in that mix too.

But the thinking behind this particular car was to demonstrate some of their capabilities within an ever decreasing motoring budget that is the unfortunately the norm these days.

But this upgrade treatment was not only the reserve of the interior; the powerplants keep getting stronger too over the years.

Top speed, which is academic in an aerodynamically challenged vehicle, comes in at 175 km/h.
