I saw ad (JET- Performance Chip Program Consumer Box ) here for performance chip deal for a 96 es. Cost about $350; anyone have experience with this product? How much more power?

Will it hurt the motor or convertor or trans? Looks like it's not a simple replacement, that the vender hacks in a new chip.

mcelligott

it is complete garbage -- please do not buy it

ssultan

Yeah...I keep seeing these chips on Ebay ...they're garbage for our cars...stay away from them.

ssultan

Might I add that when it comes to power, mcelligott knows a thing or two

JET is different from the stuff sold on ebay, but still JET = garbage

Yes the JET ECU will fry your factory ECU. I had a friend that experimented with it back in 2000 for his 2000 Camry V6 MCV20. Toyota ECU programming is very tricky to decode, there are only a few in the world that have the proper code sequences for it. TRD USA, TRD Japan and TTE are the only few that have the actual ECU coding. This piggyback "performance chip" will give you problems regardless of their claims.

Lexusfreak

Agreed.

SMT
SAFC
or
E-Manage

are the only things you can do with the stock ECU.


SMT does the most, for no more cost.

mcelligott

Very true, but most the guys on here won't even need those.

i know of apexi's safc, greddy's emanage, but who makes SMT?

Woah, we can put one of timing controller things in our car? I saw a show on TV the other day where they added something similar to a diesal truck and shaved 3 seconds off the quarter-mile time. The 0-60 time saw huge increases also.

if it was a diesel turbo.. they probably pumped up the psi like crazy

Lexbox

I saw most of it. They just jacked into the factory harness with an adapter like some do to their radios and it had 5 speed modes.

I just looked up the SMT thing, its from perfectpower.com
