UCON Flex Advanced Engine Management System

Only problem is Idk who want to but it without cam gears

 

I pulled out the little brass thingy. Went for a little test drive and found that the rear tires now seem to lose traction when accelerating. Is that normal?

 

Were you guys having problems with your UCON? What are you replacing it with?

 

OVtune

My experience with the ucon is whatever. I have constant cel, that I kept bringing up then gave up on because no one would ever fucking fix it.

Made me want to smash something

 

Ah bummer. If it were me in your situation, I'd be looking at other options well. Thankfully, I've had no issues at all since the initial release when it was running rich. Since Scott updated the tune, its been smooth sailing.

Didn't realize OVtune was a thing now. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

 

Yeah man I honestly was so so patient and so so hopeful, I returned that ecu I bought because I decided its the last straw

 

In preparation for my UCON & ECU install - can you access everything OK with just removing the glovebox, or did you need to disassemble the dash?

 

I did mine just pulling the glove box and the little side trim

 

You should be able to buy the cam gears and thermostat separately

 

I dont think so, Ill find out

 

@TRON i cant find em, doubt gadget will sell them

A member said he would buy my ucon today, I told him I had no cam gears for him, He said urd was asking outrageous prices for the gears alone. Like 500-600. Although I have no proof whatsoever this is the case.

@Torspd or anyone else who knows how to get them, Let me know so I can sell this thing

 

Try contacting apr

Maybe the same gears still.... maybe not, i cannot answer that.

 

Sent them an email, will report back

 

It would be easy to do the cam gears by modifying the oem ones. Just find some shop with CAD and laser, or just file them by yourself.

You could just do a new hollow to the opposite side and 3° off.

URD left, OEM right:


Can you see the difference?

 

Have you done your restrictor jet removal and bypass hose replacement or clamp mods yet? If you haven't, you definitely need to!!

 

No, not yet. I just want to get it running safely again first. Still running the BD tune .....
Shop that I was working with told me the latest BD tune update was too lean - & yet my tailpipe is sooty black, MPG is still total crap. Holding out a LOT of hope the UCON system can do a better job.

 

I know where you can get one $400 off, just need cam gears and thermostat

 

Too late for me. The UCON unit is sitting on my table, waiting for install.

 

I can confirm that $500-600 price for the cam gear. A while ago, I found a used APR X1 for pretty cheap but w/o the cam gear (I already have the thermo). Emailed URD to ask about buying the cam gear separately and got a quote for $500. No thanks....

 

Well then Im fucked for selling this thing
