Yes yes it was getting fuel, 72lbs injectors 300zx tt fuel pump, and i broke a piston ring.....Jim Wolfs answer? a big " your problem sir" no tech support no bring it up here and i will take a look nothing. so now a go with SDS or Haltech screw jim wolf


JWT is a big rip off!!! You are paying anywhere from 400-600 for a chip that the honda world gets for $40. Pay attention folks. You are getting ripped off. Dont let anyone tell you that you are getting a "computer upgrade" or a "re-program". You are not getting that. I had an engineer friend that worked at JWT who told me all about it. He told me that JET does the same exact thing because he had worked for them previously also. You know how much it cost JWT to do this? $25 and that included the labor for engineers to sauder it in.SDS has now got an awesome stand alone setup that blows everything else. Want to get rid of the speed limiter anyway? take the ecu to a local computer electrical engineer. He can remove the limiter for you.

I work with several Electrical engineers who could easily re chip a Nissan ECU but they all say the need a schematic of the ECU chip lay out and the wiring schematic of the harness. I can get the Harness but what I can’t get is schematic for the ECU. The only other thing I could do is buy 3 or 4 ECU’s and let them screw them up trying to get it right. :mad:

Man someone has a schemtic of a Nissan 240sx ECU. If I had one I would Post it so people who knew how which would only be a few could re chip their own ECU.
