I just got off the phone with TS and they told me that they could not reprogram an ECU for a 99 max!! Is it even possible to get this done? If so where???
thanks!!!!!!!!!!

JimWolf Technology will do it if you are looking to get an ECU upgrade. What kind of mods do you have now?

350z rims, CAI, Ypipe. FSB, gr2s and tokicosprings.
How would I go about hooking up with this Jim Wolf fella??
thanks.

I have a jim wolf ecu for my 99. They can program an ecu for you but you have to send them a 95 or 96 ecu only, then they modify it. It will work in your 99max then. They bypass the coded key system also. But they do take forever to do the work. Mine took like 3-4months. Talk to Ben at jim wolf. You can also get a jim wolf modified ecu and then send them that one and they will program it to 99specs for $50.

I tried Jim Wolf and they said nothing for the 99. Maybe in the future.
Man, this sucks. I talked to ben, and it seems like this is a no go...

Ben is the one I went thru. That doesnt make sense. A few of us on the org had them done thru JWT. I know zack342 had one but he sold it.wtf

Well, I just don't know...I won't take it personally...

What are the gains in the modified ECU for the 99? What if our car is stock engine wise? Is this a worthwhile improvement as a stand alone solution? I understand that it would help maximize the benefits of other mods/bolt on's, but what about all by itself? Would the car feel all that different? Also, how come JWT gives differnt answers to different people? Don't they know their stuff? I mean, we are not talking about some huge company that handles a huge product line up. this is a cottage industry for crying outloud. I would not mind doing this as it is something very easy to do and it doesn't mean tearing the car apart.

Maybe he was unaware that I give 2 sh!tes about the CEL and other little dinky things like that...

Do you think a 98 ECU would work??
hell if I know...

tlrmax

iTrader: (10)

it will not work in a 99 b/c of the coded key. The coded key and ignition started in 99.

Is there some way to do away with the ignition security feature? I hate it anyway...

tlrmax

iTrader: (10)

I dont think so because its all wired thru the key,ignition and ecu.

From my reading, the ECU of choice to start with should come from a 95/96. Then JWT does their programming and for $50 extra dollars, makes it compatible with 99's (and yes you will lose your immobilzer feature and your car will start fine). But don't take my word or anyone elses, call JWT again and get the info straight from the horse's mouth.

That is the same as I told him when I got mine done but it does take a long time with jwt to get anything done. Mine took 3-4 months

looks like i got to call them again also,,,since i called and they said they cant do it but after seeing this thread looks like they can but you have to land on someone over there that knows what there talken about.

I dealt with Ben and he knew everything that I was asking. He knows his stuff but he is a bit arrogant.

bipolar

iTrader: (2)

Should I call back and tell him that I'm sending a 96 ecu and that if he could, make it compatable with a 99??

Maximeltman

iTrader: (11)

well i got a 96 ecu waiting to go out to jwt but I'm debating whether the $700+ is worth the gains...anyone vouch for the gains? btw besides exhaust I'm pretty much stock..

Seven hundred dollars....FUKK THAT!!!

Of course there are gains, and documented too. Do a search and you'll see plenty of happy orgers. Check the Dyno forum, the timeslip forum etc etc.

You wanna play, you gotta pay. Power doesn't come cheap.

icedout

so who should i ask for when i contact jwt that wont tell me they dont know what iam talken about and help me out?
