Ok, so i got the chip and put it in this morning after work. (Took all of.. uh.. 2 minutes with disconecting the battery) Started right up fine, no lights. I started backing out of my drive way and my powersteering started to skip, tug a little bit. Ahh ****. As i was going down the road i was thinking, this chip isn't doing ****. And it felt like i wasn't doing anything. I am running 91octane with this stage 2. So, i went to mcdonalds for some breakfast and sitting there.. at idle in neutral, Car dies.. No sputter.. no warning.. no anything. So, i started it back up. Once i got into my town and on the backroads i figured i'd give it another shot before calling jet and bitching. Dig: Rpms climbed as it was in a hurry, first gear i hit my limiter almost instantly. 2nd still had some noticeable power, was suprised. 3rd gear held onto torque while i was inclining in speed. And then i had gone back to about 60mph. I can tell for SURE from a digg on first it took off like a banshe. My powersteering still twitches though.. Maybe it's because the wires for the connector for the ECM are so damn short i had to stretch the bitch to plug into the chip We'll see. I'm going for another dyno either tomorrow or monday.. Thoughts?

 

Dude, you would of been better off finding somebody with HP tunners, bought some credits and got a tune. That way you know what you are doing to your car. But you bought a little black box that you have no idea what was done to it.

 

Dude, I've got a 2008.. No Tunes support myplatform as of yet. And at least with this, it pops on and off. "BOX TUNE, NO BOX TUNE" Some members wanted to know so i figured i'd buy one. I don't feel to comfortable with someone tuning my car just as of yet anyway.. But i'm sure as soon as HPT breaks it.. i will be getting it lol

 

Wut'd u get baseline? im interested to see wut u make now...

 

I think that the chip mod is a bad choice. The tune would have produced more and much safer for the car. Hope that HP comes out with some thing for you guys soon.

 

Before Chip, With the mods i have currently (minus the DP I have now) I put 166 to the wheels. (with my shitty ass GM tune) I mean.. which is low But seeing the car comes stock with 173 crank (everyone has diff numbers).. Wasn't to bad

AHh yes, again.. no tune for my 2008 as of now. But how do you figure it would be "safer"?

 

Did you also get the 180* thermostat? I believe that you are supposed to run this module with 89 not 91.

 

stage 2 has to run with high octane. Look it up www.jetchip.com
As far as the thermostat, no i have my stock one. It's 180 or around there anyways as of right now. It's not manditory.. My temps have been keeping the same.



I re-installed chip after speaking with jet.. so far all my problems have gone away. They say to put 150 - 200 miles on it and i'll see all real gains. Dyno will tell the truth tomorrow hopefully!

 

My bad, you are right. They do say it is designed to work with the 180 thermo tho. I really want to see dyno results. Have you dyno'd before or are you going to dyno with and without it tomorrow?

 

Curious to see the results. As long as your problems go away, I would say good buy.

 

subscribed, def interested if you put some noticeable gains on paper

 

Been curious about these. Subscribed.

 

It is interesting that you had power steering problems -- the module doesn't affect this and since it is electrical the engine RPM shouldn't affect it either unless you might have had a bad/weak battery connection.

Keep us informed of the reliability. My Stage 1 module is still working nicely -- for more than a month. If you show some real numbers on the dyno I would be interested in having both modules to try out myself.

 

Yeah, I spoke with jet and told them my issues. I also had some rpm flutters at idle (jet told me their product works over 1,500 rpm) So i took it back out and re-connected it again and so far everything has gone away. I'm not to pleased with how much i had to stretch the factory wiring harness to the ecm and chip. But yup, I'm thinking i've made OK gains with this plug in. Like i said I'm going to run it on the dyno again Hopefully friday, if not tues/wed. I'll let you all know for sure!!

Btw.. Dyno last time w/o chip 166 to the wheels
can't remember torque..

 

did you dyno?

 

interested to see the results

 

Xtorted.... whats the result? you get dyno'ed?

 

dang everybody that gets these, say they will dyno or run at the track and the thread just dies

 

in all fairness he said he was getting dyno'ed friday or tuesday depending when he was able to.

 

oh definitely.. im just saying im subscribed to pretty much everyone that's gotten the jet chips and they end the same

 

^^^ I know... I was one of the first to push this module. I even started a couple of the threads and was in contact with the company multiple times. I just wanna see the hard facts

It's wednsday, where's the results???

 

Why spend the money.. all it is is a resister inside a box... i can do that with 99 cents and a radio shack.

 

wtf this is gay
