Jet Chip ECU upgrade

Curious about a couple things:

1) Anyone who has this mod, how was the removal of the ECU? All I know is that I had a hell of a time trying to get an AE auto shift **** onto my 2K...don't want to spend 4 hours trying to get the ECU out and then back!

2) Is the mod worth it? $400.00 is a pretty hefty tag. Jet Chip site says 15+ HP, is this reliable?

3) How are Jet Chip's instructions? Again, I simply don't have the time to spend 4+ hours trying to get the ECU out (can be tricky from what I've read/heard).

4) whatever happened to the G-Force ECU upgrade for the 5th Gen's?!?!

5) Any chance, if enough people are interested, we could get a group buy deal going?

Thanks ppl.

Re: Jet Chip ECU upgrade

I have the Jet chip, and yes it does do something. Removing the ECU takes maybe an hour, and it makes a big difference above 100 MPH and 4000 RPM's. Is it worth 400 dollars.....i thought so, but to some more conservative people it's a waste. I suggest it.

Heh...don't get to go over 100 too often : )

So it only delivers more power at higher RPM's MaxSE?

Hey Nick and Azn, why don't you guys recommend it? Do you know people who have it or do you have it yourself?

The details from the one or two people that have it are shaky... Even if it don't give 15 hp it must to somthing even if it's reving faster higher no speed govner better shift points...if it does that it pays for it self....plus if you got alot of mods and it does those things even without 15 hp more it's worth it. Maybe those that have it don't have enough mods maybe they do and there right but i don't think theres enought details at this point.
why not ask jet what they gauntee as far as non hp things.

Re: Jet Chip ECU upgrade

I think the Jet ECU is more of a downgrade

No, i think the best bang for the buck is the y-pipe, but this chip made a pretty significant difference in my car. Anyone want to race with similar mods and see?

Hey se01, how's the car launch from a dead stop? I'm not too concerned about 100+ MPH, Only place I can really do that in Central/North Jersey is on the Parkway/Turnpike and there've been mad unmarked police/troopers lately...makes me uneasy. Heh, three weeks ago I saw 3 unmarked cars pull over three people within 300 feet of each other!

So to sum up my question, did the Jet Chip add any "umph" to your launch?

IMPUL Tuning in Japan has ECU for A32, haven't dynoed it yet, but its designed for the VQ30DE, so I'm not making any claims on it yet.

Interesting.

IF you really want the Jet, how about sending the $400 here and i help push your car. That will give you similar gains. Im in NJ, wanna run?

Yes, it made as much of a difference as my y-pipe did. Which was pretty significant.
