Have you seen a real improvement from installing the jet chip?

Man! Leave it to my friends here on lxforums to post pics 10 times better than the ones in the installation manual. Going to go get a 180 degree thermostat and install it and the chip in a little while.

Thanks BobF

This place does ROCK! Just remember you will have a little bit more difficulty if you have an earlier build with the heat sink. You will have to pull the dust cover off of the connector to make enough room to wiggle the thing back in. Perhaps, if you have an early build, you might take a picture of yours before it goes back in so we have both covered.

What size is the bolt guys? 5/16 ? I'm installing tonight and want to be prepared :D

I just installed the Jetchip - very easy; however, I could not fit the whole unit back in the cowl with the dust cover over the wires installed. I had to leave the wiring harness dust cover off and the unit was still very difficult to squeeze back into the cowl. Has anyone else felt this was a big problem. For now the chip is installed but without that dust cover over the wires and the wires are pressed fairly firmly against the insulation down there. I do not feel it is a huge deal, but would like it to be whole.

I Did read an earlier post that mentions a heat sink on earlier build chips that makes it a tight fit. Maybe this is the case with mine but there is no external visibility of any heat sink.

Any thought are appreciated. Thanks!

I never did remove the dust cover but did hacksaw the opposite end bolt lug off and then it went in.

Did you have trouble getting the harness back in with the dust cover on??

It doesn't fit on the 300C. (Besides, the clips broke on mine anyway so I wouldn't have been able to put it back.

Great pictorial, thanks..
As most, I had to leave off the connector dust cover but used some of that new Glad Press & Seal and wrapped it to make sure it stayed dry. Also I haven't seen mention of this but I had a little prob actually plugging in the module. After careful inspection and making sure all pins were straight, I decided to use a 1/8" bit and form a small divot around each hole to make sure it would guide all pins in correctly. After that it seated much easier and I felt better than having to apply to much pressure.
Not sure why Jet didn't design that into the unit.

Now I have to grab a shower and test it out on the way to the car show here in Houston.

Thanks again for all the tips..

I'd sure love to see some Dyno results on the Jet Chip 1. If someone has easy access to dyno and can do a before and after Jet Chip 1, that would be very interesting to see what real gains can be had by the chip.

If time permits:
Before,
After, (drive around town and highway for an hour before the next dyno)
and then a week later after the car has become used to it.

Any takers?

Is this install the same for the 2.7L V6 MAG?

[boggart]

Yes, the install is exactly the same. Not sure why the Title says HEMI.

[Mr. Moe]

Cool Thanks for the info. Mine should be here next week

i have a question, can you have the jet chip and super chips turner together, will they work together if you put them on and them not interfer with each other...and is it a good stack?

[Darth Wagon]

Ok, All this Yak-Yak and not one word about what it actually does for performance. Great pictures, thank you very much.

What the hell does it do for performance, fuel economy tire smoke?
