JetChip Upgrade?

came across this as an alternative to your typical ecu chipping with ( spoon, mugen, etc. programs )

http://www.jetchip.com


i've seen the jetchip featured on Trucks & a few other car shows on TNN and it seems to work VERY well....


anyone have any personal experience with em?

My friend got one of those Jet Chips for his 91 Teg and didn't like it much at all.

He picked up a chip from www.hyperducktuning.com and has been very please with it. Check the site, he does good work and a few of my friends have gotten chips from him with no complanents. Prices are good too.

Don't waste your money, you drive a Honda, not a Camaro... Domestics can gain a lot from a chip, but not Hondas.

Better fuel mapping and ignition, HyperDuckTuning chips actually work pretty well. That's why I recommend them. The guy is local, in Toronto, and it's $100 chipped. Compared to some other stuff you buy for your car that's dirt cheap.

dopey, even with those mods I would not consider chipping. The extent of your mods does not exceed the parameters of the original program that is set by the factory. You have not modified your engines volumetric efficiency sufficiently to warrant the use of a new program. If you had p&p work done, bigger t-body, new injectors, cams, valves and springs done, high compression, etc. then you would benefit greatly from a computer, but with what you have done, your $100 is better spent on maintenance items or perhaps put towards your susp or brake setup. Maybe a new, bigger master cylinder is in order or a rebuild kit for your calipers.

I agree with Bruno. Unless your car is at least moderately modded, an ECU is a waste of money. IMO, it is one of the last things to do to your car.
