Anyone have any experience with the Jet Performance Chip Re-Map? Seems like a good deal and I know they work for domestics, but don't have any experience with imports and specifically our beloved Max. Thanks...

 

I have read many threads on here, and most say the the Jet ECU should not be considered, and that it does nothing for the Max. I have read good reviews for both the Jim Wolf ECU and the Gforce ECU. There is a good deal going on right now for the Gforce ECU on the for sale forum. I will be getting a ECU in the future, have to fix the A/C first though, can't have the little ones in the heat. If it was not for the A/C thing I would of probably gone with the Gforce .

 

I have the jet ecu upgrade which I use w/o nitrous. The gains are not that great. Basically you get what you pay for. I would say the gains felt like 5-7 horses . Pulls a bit harder

 

Did you have to inform them what modifications you did to the engine when you had your ECU reprogrammed by JET? like intake, y-pipe etc...

 

Jet has dyno charts that claim 15+ horse gain. A couple of our customers bought it and were pleased with the gains. Guess thats not bad for a $400 piece.

 

I noticed they can make them for us 97 and up boys tooo..........

 

do you know if the cel light turns on with the new programing?

 

they are actually $300 at JC Whitney...CustomMax, you ever come up to Lebanon Valley?

 

not sure but i will check into if for you

 

We will be at the Frankencar meet this weekend with a 30 foot trailer full of maxima parts.

 

where is the Frankencar meet?

 

Is there any chip you can use for 99 maxima GLE Auto??? that actually worth the money and works....

 

According to their site.....this work for the 99 models as well.

 

I wouldn't trust JET's website, so be wary if you try and buy one for a 99, I would suspect you will find it doesn't work JET probably just didn't do their research and figured since 95-99 have the same body and same engine that the ECUs are interchangable between all years, they arent.

As for the gains 15hp is a crock of ****. Not even JWT and GForce give those gains, more like about 8-10 with those 2, and I had the JET ECU for a time, and gains weren't as apparent as with my JWT. I'd say JET gains are more on the order of 5hp. The JET ECU made the car pull a little harder in the midrange, but my JWT pulls more.

Try finding a used GForce ECU instead of the JET, that would be my recommendation.

 

The meet is in Massachusetts, give us a call and we can give you directions.

 

Yes they tune it accordingly.

 

can u let me know too im in boston.

 

Until I see a dyno, JET is not to be trusted.

 

If you have a fax machine I can fax you a flyer and directions.

 

i have one at work, i'll give u tha number later. thanx in advance...

 

Cefiro, at what point in your mods did you get the Jet? I am just wondering what they programmed for (y-pipe, intake, exhaust??). Also, would you recommend it? Thanks...

 

I have the same question as DJalbNY. I have the same set up.

 

I had all my mods listed minus the NOS. I still use my stock ecu when i run the NOS.

 

Thanks cefiro...in your opinion, is it worth the upgrade? also, did you get another ECU to have them program? i was under the impression that they programmed the stock one you sent in.

 

To be honest I would rather pay the extra $80 and get the techtom ecu. From what ive heard, its better then the jet. I have 2 ecu's

 

where can I get a techtom ecu ?? Will it work for a 97? and will these ecu's work in the winter?

 

look in the for sale section. Cheston has them listed for $380 shipped. You need to get a 96 ecu.

 

Techtom = GForce

 

K I have found his TECHTOM ECU but its says only for 95 / 96 I have a 97 ECU( hence 97 gxe) . Will is still work to send it to him? Or do I have to get a New ECU . Can anyone tell me if i can use ANY ECU WITH my 97 stock ECU. I want a G Force or JWT, but I dont want to have to buy a 95 / 96 ECU unless thats the only way.

 

Get a 96 gxe ecu. the transmission has to be the same and make sure you get the right spec(cali or fed).

 

Can they remove the speed limiter and/or raise the rpm limit?

 

You can eliminate your speed limiter by cutting a wire. As far as JET being able to raise your speed limiter im not sure since I dont have the mevi and didnt want my rpm limit raised.

 

i know about that mod ( i have a fields fuel controller doing that for me), but since i'm planning on getting my ECU reprogrammed, i figure they can do it.
