No one makes a chip for these cars. You have to upgrade the entire ECU. JWT or TS for that.

I might sell my Technosquare ECU... if your interested, pm me. I'm just doing some research before I decide... but pm me if you are.

It gave me a real noticeable gain on third gear and on-- its definatley worth the upgrade.

Its a re-programmed stock ECU that is programmed with a more aggressive Fuel Map, ignition timing, and it also removes the speed limiter.

Some Maximas came with it, depending on your year of MAx... unfortunatly, mine did. 113 tops!! LOL

I'm gonna do some final research this weekend and see if I really want to get rid of it. I dont know how much I'm gonna let it go for but I'll let you know for sure! BTW, I dont know what you have but this is for a manual tranny.

My ECU has some history! LOL -- It used to belong to the infamous CeasarsChariot

Most 95-99 GXE models do have a speed limiter at 116ish MPH. SEs and GLEs do not, a few GXEs also do not.

He had intake, Catmann headers and exhaust, UDP, Technosquare ECU,.... cant recall what else, but look him up. He has it listed on his cardomain.

Gunny, I dont know how much he bought it for, but they dont make them anymore, and JWT ECU's are at 550+.
Whether its new or not, it's not something that wears & tears like injectors, pistons, heads, etc.
Either way, it is now sold. And I have just recieved my VAFC II. Now to install the thing!!!

Get a stand alone management system and have your shop do whatever you want it to do ie. no rev limiter, no governer, adv. timing, A/F, etc.

At the current moment, it seems as if we are getting the most out of our set-ups using piggybacks as they are able to accomplish all of what's is underlined.

No one around new even messes with imports much less does any kind of custom tunning for any car. I would very much appeciate any knowledge on computer possibilites. All possibilites for piggybacks to things like comp re tures

You're really starting to test my patience. Read up some more and/or wait until you can start you own thread. In that order...
