i got my jet chip put in a couple of days ago...it does work..it pulls from about 3-5rpm and makes the car shift a little better and go closer to redline and i do notice a difference with it..i am happy but not satisfied..but i like it allright..anyways my check engine light is still on...i put my air temp sensor back on my car since it had been off since i got my intake..the guy at the shop said it had to be on or i wouldn't get peak performance..i put it back on and reset the computer and the check engine light is still on and i don't notice any difference..any help? thanks

 

you should have checked with us first.. the jet chip has no gains on a maxima

 

oh by the way..

pull the code and tell Daniel what it is.. he can help you

I do notice some gain in my car with the jet chip.....it is a gain...anyway thanks for the response and i will get back at you about the code..

 

greddymax,
I don’t normally respond to threads on this list unless they directly relate to an area where we have expertise. This is our area.
My goal is to make people think and to help people from making mistakes with their money.
We have tested your "chip" on 2 different occasions with back to back comparisons on a Dynojet (I have copies that I can fax if requested). Both tests showed a maximum variance of 1 hp over the stock ECU. At the request of a paying party we then proceeded to down load the Factory program through the Consult port. The “chipped” program was completely, 100%, EXACTLY the same as stock.
This party for whom the tests were being performed asked the supplier about these strange findings.
The 1 HP difference was attributed to the “poor” design of the Dynojet, furthermore stating that the Dynojet is a useless “toy”, and that no “serious” tuners use them!”, “ Our upgrades are specifically designed NOT to make any power on a Dynojet”
The “stock” program finding was blown off with “If you know what you are doing you don’t have to touch the program” “We don’t touch the program , only Algorithms”. You can read into these bizarre statements as you wish.
I’m wont say that JET is doing anything illegal, they have been “upgrading” ECUs for a long time now and they are VERY successful at it ( I would guess they’re profit margins are the biggest in the industry), and VERY big in the industry with HUGE marketing budgets and we cant dispute that.

BUT if you buy anything test before changing anything then, test, test and retest.

 

Holy Crap! Nice work Robert!

Can I say Busted!

Anyway if you change the algorithms and the program doesn't change, what's the point? Also how can no change on a Dynojet translate to gains felt in real life?

 

Jeff92se,
Thanks for the response.
The answer from jet is meaningless because an Algorithm is a term that desribes how the ECU program works, it is the program.
And you are correct Algorithm, smagmorithm, if it doesnt do anything whats the point.

The "butt" dyno is just notoriously inaccurate.
We deal with the old "seat of the pants" dyno claims everyday. I can't tell you how many NSX, BMW, porsche owners that we meet that "THINK" they can tell that the new $7000.00 set of headers is making way more power, they can REALLY FEEL IT. But for to the dismay of the owner the car is actually putting out 3 more HP on the top if they are lucky.

 

Anyone ever heard of Placebo?

 

Well....thanks for the insight on my chip...that sucks if it really doesn't work considering i paid a lot for it... but like i said before i do notice a little difference on my car since installation...i mean it works some what...but i don't know what to say but, f*ck.....

 

by the way no one asked you...thanks for the smart comment

 

Robert a little confused on stuff you said. You said the dynojet isn't very accurate test after test, or is that what JET says?

How do you feel about Clayton dyno's?

Also, JET used to be huge, but in the past couple years I haven't heard anything aobut them?

 

Don't get mad. You are the one who wasted your money(hehe).

"Placebo Effect" look it up instead of trying to start some kid crap.

 

Like i said..thanks for the smart comment old man...anyways mind your own business and learn how to type...i know what the word means..old timer....start crap?..no just don't need your "worldly" aged insight on my issues....let me tell you that post helped a lot and was so educated...kid crap?..hmmm..anyone heard of dumba@@????

 

How much does a jet chip cost?

Just curious.

Thanks!

 

I heard of a DumbA$$ and your are are it. Gettin all upset over my small comment to the thread according to Rob's analysis. You act like I cursed you out or something. What makes you think I am old, dumbnut? You just have an anger management problem and I don't care that your upset. You still wasted your money.

 

Ah.. I wouldn't worry about it. Especially when the moral of story for the maxima case is that the Jet doesn't do anything to the fuel or ignition programs at all.

Greddymax, I would see about the return/refund policy. Say you are not satisfied and want to return the ecu program for a full refund. Or at LEAST demand some dyno graphs to prove their gains.

 

F#ck you...like you said its my money and none of your business...not upset....just don't like ignorant comments like yours..jumping from thread to thread in other poeples conv. and posting little comments to try to be funny...this was a matter that i was interested in and wanted advice on.. and you think that its funny that i spent a lot of money on something that might not work..real funny a@@...i don't use this forum to have fun..i use it for useful info on matters that i am unsure of conserning my car...i'm not going to keep posting these remarks.. its wasting my time..and you need to find another thread to be funny on...you might try private chat rooms or the Honda forum..

 

It cost me 225 plus the installation which ended up bieng 150...so it was like 375 all together...sucks for me huh?

 

well not to add fuel to the fire. but you should've done some research on here about the ECU before you went out and got one...a lot of members here know the Jet ECU provides min gains. Like Jeff said maybe you can return it to the place you bought it from. Your butt dyno may just be the ECU learning new parameters from your engine.

 

why is it that everytime there's a good thread, some moron has to ruin it with personal attacks?

thread locked.
