Is there a CHIP for the SE-R/Spec-v?

SE-R420 · Jul 8th, 2002, 09:59 PM

i was wondering if there is a performance chip for the se-r and/or spec-v. I really want more HP in my car, even tho an intake and exhaust helps. Can the current computer be reprogrammed? I also heard that you can pull out the governer which will give the car much better performance and higher RPM ranges.

Let me know,

As my subject says: No, not as of yet.

Also, though Nissans do not have "Chips" like VW's, etc. They have to replace and reprogram the entire ECU. I don't know if Stillen or JWT is working on an ECU for the SE-Rs/SpecV's yet. I know for a fact Jim Wolf Technologies make them for the B14 generation sentra. I'm sure we'll be updated as new goodies come out. Also, I suggest going for headers (Nismo [rebadged hotshot - does not void warranty look for it around fall of 02], or Hotshot [readily available, voids warranty])

I could have sworn that I read that any aftermarket part would only void a car's warranty if said aftermarket part was involved in screwing the car up.

Am I wrong on this?

No, I was being a bit closed minded. You are right. I just oversimplified, thats all.

JWT is currently working on an ECU for the spec v. They are in the R&D stages right now and might have something completed by September or October.

Jet performance has the Vforce control module for the SE-R and Spec V it runs about $250 and is good for about 9 hp only took me about an hour to hook it up.

Do you have any dyno sheets? Is that at the wheels or at the crank?
