I read about this on ceasarschariot.com. Anyone have anymore info on this or reviews?

 

yea, ceasar did a little write up. its cool, power boost, but there is no raised rev limiter. There isnt much extra power to be had above red line, unless you get a mevi. it depends what you are looking for. its priced well too

 

technosquare ecu are all great. they know there stuff

awesome ecu...and the guys there really know their stuff!!! they are fast, curteous, and are cheap! the gain i saw was amazing!!! trust me, you won't regret it!

 

yeah, i love mine

 

They don't make one for the 97 though right?

 

you can use a 96 ECU (with the same transmission and model) and put that in a 97. U will have a CEL though.

 

that sucks but i am glad i have a 96.

so no raised rev limiter? whats the point of getting it them?

 

i dont understand why technosquare just doesnt look at the jwt ecu and figure out how to raise the rev limiter also,,.,, that would give them so many more customers and create a competition with jwt , and lower prices for us.

 

I dont know why they cant make one for the 98's; is the 96 ecu so much different?

 

would you all chose the technosquare over the g-force? I am unable to purchase both the MEVI and the JWT ECU so this might be a bridge to better things. I need my car to be faster, i got the bug!

-Lieb-

 

They are the same. G force is their old name. They are now called Tecnosquare.

 

 

If you go here you will find the jets upgrade--which says on the site they can modify the rev limiter. This is also offered an custommaxima.com but at $350--jcwhitney gives it at $299.99--and Custommaxima would have to beat it by 5%(as they say on their site) -- I have talked to others who have said they liked it and others who have said it was crap.

hell I would buy that if I knew it could raise the rev limiter as it states.

 

just call up danny....he will hook you up! for only $380 including tax!

 

yeah but that does nothing for the rev limiter

 

and doesnt work for 1998

 

That is not true. I called him and he said only GD gets 380$ . IF you are someone who can get this for me please let me know !!!

Thank you!!

 

For those of you that think a raised rev-limiter is all an aftermarket ECU is good for need to read up on what it actually changes to make your car faster...

 

i'm just saying that right now that is all I want, but I am working on my turbe project so I will wait to have any ECU work done after that.

 

Maybe in the future they will release an ECU that will raise the rev limiter. Is this bad for people without the mevi?

 

Nope. According to Dave B the raised rev-limiter would benefit non-MEVI'd people by allowing you to enter 2nd gear at a higher RPM on the 1-2 upshift. IIRC, the ideal shift point in 1st would be 6800 RPM or so...

 

Raising the rev limiter with no MEVI will technically benefit you but not significantly enough to make a difference I suspect. I bet the difference would be on the order of .05s in the 1/4 mile.

Anyhow the JET ECU does not raise the rev limiter. JET makes all sorts of claims about their ECU which are totally bogus, because they are a crap company. I owned a JET ECU. Don't waste your money.

 

I disagree , i bet a raised limiter would help me alot . I have about 170 fwhp at redline without the VI. I smack the revlimiter in first pretty hard.

 

sorry if someone already answered this but does the 97-99 models have a ECU that they can upgrade to?? or is it only the 95-96 that can.

 

yea, the CEL can get annoying because then you dont know when a problem arises. also, in california (and im sure other places) they run an OBII check on your ECU during emissions testing to check for codes...doesnt look good for the officials have you have had a code logged for such a long time, etc

 

So what's the difference between JET'ting and TECHNOSQUARE'ing? Aside from raising the revv limiter, don't they both reprogram the ECU for that performance settings? Is the Technosquare more customizeable/tuneable to the specific types of performance mods added to the vehicle? Also, I thought for non-MEVI, the Technosquare is the choice obviously because the VQ isn't a high revving motor as is. Also, there's not much to benefit from the upper RPM range either since there's a big torque drop-off up top so there's really no benefit from raising the revv limiter on non-Mevi VQ's.

Anyhow, I thought I read somewhere in the org that only the GXE's (or lower trim Maximas) have revv limiters, SE's definitely don't have them. Then I'm stoked!

 

top speed limiter i think, our rev limiters should be the same on all the cars with stock ecu.

 

im waiting for my ecu from technosquare in the mail..cant wait i will let u know how it goes..

 

It's one expensive thing thouse $600. Damn I would expect really good gains.

 

So whats better? I plan to go get a Mevi. I have a 95 SE. Should i go with technosquare or the JWT???

 

How much did you pay.

""So whats better? I plan to go get a Mevi. I have a 95 SE. Should i go with technosquare or the JWT???""

With Mevi - JWT
With out - TEchno

 

The VQ isn't a high revving motor?? Many people are revving their VQ's out to 7200 RPM on STOCK valve springs and retainers. If that's not high revving I don't know what is. With a built valvetrain im sure this engine could rev out to 8k RPM, largely due to its super short stroke (shorter than many 4 cylinders) and it's lightweight reciprocating parts. The only other V6 i know of that revs to 8k is the NSX so that's saying something...

And there is a benifit from the raised rev-limiter on non-mevi'd cars. According to Dave B, the ideal shift point in 1st gear is around 6800-6900 RPM to enter 2nd gear at a higher RPM on the upshift. But then again, that wouldn't justify the extra $200 or so for me...

 

group deal ends jan 30 i payed $380 shipped second day...if u gonna get a mevi, get the jwt ecu....by the way i talked to danny lee from technosquare, they are working on an extended rev limiter for us

 

You're talking about SPEED limiter, not REV limiter. Some of the GXE's have speed limiters, i know of very few personally, but ALL trims (GXE, SE & GLE) have rev limiters set at redline unless they have an upgraded ecu

 

jet has given a lot of people problems, and is generally a piece of crap. for our ECUs, you need to change an actualy internal chip...jet sells a flash programer for our cars (which if you dont understand what im saying, would totally not work at all, or do anything for our car)

go with technosquare.

 

High revving in a sense that there's plenty of torque left at the highest possible RPM range. Forgive me if this sounds pretty ignorant of me, but ideal 1st gear shift point is 6800 - 6900 RPM? Doesn't that sound way up there, I thought 4k - 4.5k RPMs is pushing it! I've never taken 1st gear way up there. Is this even safe for a stock engine/tranny w/o breaking anything?

 

Considering that people are running over 400 HP on stock trannies, I wouldn't be worried about the tranny. As long as you don't dog (read speed-shifting and not rev-matching downshifts) the tranny with a clutch like an ACT or equivalent clutch, it should be fine.

As I mentioned earlier, people are revving to 7200 RPM with the stock valvetrain so 6900 RPM is a piece of cake for this engine.
