Engine Management
Does anybody have some form of engine management for their Daewoo(Lanos).
Whether it be ECU, plug and play performance module, programmer, etc.
If so, could you tell me any notable power gains, installation, and
price. Also, do they void the factory warranty. Thanks.

The haltec is a complete stand alone system. It retails for between $1200 and $1600. Install would run you about another $500, and tuning would run another $500.
The Unichip is a "piggyback" ecu. it works with the stock ECU. Cost is about $800 plus another $500 to tune it. Install is fairly easy, but call it $250 if you were to pay for it.
The S-AFC is a "piggback", but I would not call it an ecu. It is more of an "ECU tricker". The S-AFC alters the air signal going into the ECU, so that the ECU dumps more or less fuel into the engine. It runs between $250 and $350, and can be installed yourself, or about $150 if you pay someone to install it.
For N/A bolt on mods, the S-AFC should be all you need. For more intense mods, or forced Induction, the Haltec, or Uni-chip would be the way to go. Just keep in mind, the uni-chip does NOT like to run larger than stock injectors.

Funny -
A unichip only costs $130.00 in South Africa - probably because it is manufactured here, but paying that price for that system is a little high.....
If you want a piggy back system I recommend using the Perfect power systems as they are proven to be bullet proof and alot more cost effective than other systems available. www.perfectpower.com We are a dealer for these systems, and can offer them at a much better rate than the web site offers them for.
Anyway to answer your question it all depends on what your requirements are - I recommend using a piggyback system if you are still normally aspirated.
