ECU upgrade for 98

I know they have someone that does ECU upgrades for the 97, but what is the difference between them? i though it was the 96 and the 97, and any info about an ECU for the 98?

JWT created an ECU designed for 95-96 Maximas. It has been known to work on the 97 Maxima as well but w/a few MIL codes. There is no ECU for 98+ Maximas other than the Jet Chip which some say gives no gains and is a piggyback unit not a stand-alone ECU.

Poison

Improving horsepower by as much as 25%
through the range of approximately 1,000 -
5,000 RPM. The Venom400 is OBD II
compatible. Besides substantial increase
of torque, the Venom400 reduces the flat spots
or delay timing during sudden accelerations.

Incorporated into the Venom400 is an 8-bit micro-
controller that is capable of monitoring the
various sensor inputs and modifying their
outputs at more than 40 times per second.

If you already have another performance
prom installed not to worry the venom400 is
a mid range performance chip and the prom
chip is a wide open throttle application thus
complementing each other through the entire
RPM band.

The Venom400 has an on/off switch so smog
certification is possible without detection of unit.
Easy installation with basic hand tools requiring
only four electrical connections.

Loss of gas mileage to be expected
is 1-3 miles per gallon in fuel economy.
No significant damage or long term
stress side effects in long and short range
testing.

Don't waste your money on the venom 400. All it does from what i hear is advance the Throttle Pos Sensor. In other word it makes the car think you are pressing on the gas harder than you are. BTW the limit is full throttle. In other word when you are flooring the car the vemon400 doesn't work since the car is already floored. This product is snake oil. Don't waste your money. If you don't believe me then do a search on the topic. This has been discussed about 1.5 yrs ago.
