In the new Performance Catalog a Performance Module by JET Powertech is listed. The module plugs in between the computer and the wiring harness.
Has anyone tried these? Are they worth it?

Stay far away from one of those Jet Modules.

Far Far away

Get a chip from JDM, JLP, Or PSP

 

JET & Hypertech are garbage for our trucks. See a Lightning tuner.

 

come on guys, he may need a new paperweight

 

My intent is to enhance the performance without doing anything to potentially effect the warranty. It seemed like a "clean" way to go about boosting performance that can be "undone" quickly....

Why don't you guys reccomend them?.....I'm just curious...

 

That is what I was thinking just either unplugging it or just take it back to stock with a reprogrammer just in case of warranty work.

By the way Badd what part of Phoenix do you live, I live in North Phoenix near Tatum and 101 by the Desert Marketplace.

 

I don't know about other applications, but a friend of mine put one on his '01 Accord, and he lost about 13 HP on the dyno stock............once he put in his mods, he was still making less than stock HP at the wheels........

Once they removed the JET Power Module, he went up to 187HP at the wheels, which is 27 HP over stock!!!

So, I've seen first hand, the crappiness of this product on another application...........like I said, don't know about other applications, but this is my basis for opinion........STAY AWAY!!

Do any of you know if one the L tuners is coming out with a reprogrammer or module for easy install and removal for warranty work.

 

The reason those "inline" modules are junk is because they are limited in what they can do. When you buy a regular chip, it plugs into the back of the PCM, and it overwrites the factory calibration, with what we choose to change. We have access to ALMOST ever parameter. With the inline modules, they way they work is they simply intercept signals coming in from input sensors, and then change the values of those inputs so the PCM sees them differently. For example, they will take the intake air charge temperature signal, and make the PCM think it's "colder" out, to add some timing. All those modules do is "trick" the PCM. This is really not what you want to be doing. Your idea of using one as a "traceless" chip is a good idea, but you'll be wasting your money because you really won't get any performance.

 

Bin there done that, JET sucks!

 

What Lightningturner said is Right On...

Jet- BAD, VERY VERY BAD. I made the mistake of getting one for my truck and the performance went way down.Go with one from JDM, PSP, or JL, thats what i ended up doing. STAY AWAY FROM JET, IT'S THE DEVIL I TELL YOU!!!

 

Does any reputable tuner make a module that plugs in between the wiring harness and computer like the Jet Powertech module?

I'm looking for something that is easily removable without leaving evidence for the Ford Technicians to make an issue of.

 

No,, read the other post here,,people are taking thier time to help you....
