FLiP Sp33d Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 hi everyone,i just had the chip put in my 95 es 300 and i feel a huge difference in power now that its in..did anyone else put one in theres if so let me know.thanks nice... what chip was it?
92ES300 Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 Yeah- What kind is it? Where did you get it, and for how much? Do you know if it fits a 92?
SKperformance Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 i would love to see an after dyno for it as i am guessing you didn't do one before the swap
bbsal Posted June 3, 2003 Author Posted June 3, 2003 hi,sorry to leave yous hanging wondering what chip but i forgot to put it in the message..i bought the jet computer upgrade.i paid 500 dollars for it but it was worth it..i feel a huge difference in it now that its in..i didnt do a dyno before i put it in so im not sure exactly how much gains i really got but i can feel it for sure.also i put the k&n air filter.i just wanted that extra pep so thats probably as far as i will go with it..i can tell you guys one thing,i beat all them rice burners with ease..i love my 95 lexus!!talk to yous later
SKperformance Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 any plans on donig the dyno as jet ecu's have been know to lie and make no changes if not make it worse one of the most unreliable ecu tuners around kind of like the mysterious black box ecu which is really a resistor on ebay
bbsal Posted June 3, 2003 Author Posted June 3, 2003 wow are you seriuos?thats not good.if i would of known that i wouldnt of bought that one but it seems to be working pretty good right now.i mean it was a whole new unit unlike the one on ebay that is just a resister.what would you recommend for future use if this does decide to not work as well as it does now.i guess the mind does play tricks on you sometimes and maybe its not as great as i think but i really do see a difference but it could be the air filter because i put that in at the same time.thanks for the replys.
SKperformance Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 only though it get a dyno t will put it to rest tether any gains where made although it is after the fact a few peple have had a dyno done to compare it to
bbsal Posted June 4, 2003 Author Posted June 4, 2003 im going to get one done next week and i will post the results..thanks for your input!
SKperformance Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 hey don't thank me i really hope i am wrong or atleast you got a good one it will also be a good thing for performance if it works out better on an ES as you already know the parts are limited
bbsal Posted June 5, 2003 Author Posted June 5, 2003 yea i could diffently feel the difference.i was driving earlier today and when i floored the gas pedal i felt a huge pull unlike before.i also set up a appointment for the dyno for next week so we will see what that says also.i do think part of it is the air filter and i had the fuel injection cleaned out..i wish they would come out with some real performance stuff for the es.talk to you later
SKperformance Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 what kind of injector cleaner and how much if it was a motor vac ( high pressure fuel rail injector valve and everything else cleaning then i would really say it is that since most people have it done and swear there car dirves like new again
bbsal Posted June 5, 2003 Author Posted June 5, 2003 yep thats exactly what i had done too.i toke it to a place down the street and they hooked it up to something and cleaned it out.i didnt know exactly what it was called until now.so you think thats what really helped the boost?i do think that helped because before i had that done the car use to crank quite a few times before it would kick over but now i just turn the key and it starts right up.it also feels very smooth since i had that done.but i had the chip put in after that.i do think alot of it is the air filter, and the fuel cleaning but next week will really be when i could tell.
bbsal Posted June 5, 2003 Author Posted June 5, 2003 well when i went i just asked for the fuel cleaning service they had a sighn for.i guess its called something like fuel flush cleaning or something like that..they hook it up to something and it looks like it flushes everything out with some kind of solution.(maybe alchaol)but not sure..check around your area im sure someone does it or maybe even the deal but that might be costly because they always charge more.
SKperformance Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 it depends there are a few types of cleaner] one is distributed through the vacum lines another is the regular fuel treatment which goes in the tank and the best is the fuel rail one which distributes through the rail at high pressure one trade name is motorvac
bbsal Posted June 6, 2003 Author Posted June 6, 2003 hey i think the fuel cleaning i got was thru the vacum lines but im not sure.they pluged a line into what looks like a vacum line right next to the brake fliud container on the firewall.its right above the brake fluid and after they pluged it in you can see the fluid running into the line and all white smoke came out of the tail pipe.let me know what one you think i got because if theres a better one i would like to try it..thanks
bartkat Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 I wasn't driving my Firebird much so I put some "Stabil" fuel stabizer in the tank. A couple weeks later I went for a ride and after about 40 miles did some accelration runs. The car was amazing, burning trires, and running like it never did before. I have to attribute that to the Stabil cleaning out the fuel system. Performance must have deteriorated over time and I didn't notice it.
SKperformance Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 barkat well stabalizer is used to help keep the gas from varnishing so its qualities will help return the performance of old gas and clean it out bbsal the one you had done that was by the master brake booster is the vacum line one it is attached to the master vacum hose as it has the largest suction then a gauge is used to slowly add the cleaing solution it is very good also as it cleans a little more of the manifold as the injector rail ones are futher down the tract and miss some of it walmart has this service for about $60 Canadian about $42 usd for the vacum and a fuel tratment added to the tank and throttle body cleaning i think you mechanic is over priced sorry but atleast it is a good service
bbsal Posted June 10, 2003 Author Posted June 10, 2003 tell me about it!my mechanic is crazy thats why i do most of my own work to the car.i just changed the plugs and man was that a job getting those last 2 in the back out.it was worth it though.i try to keep up on my cars as much as possible.i just changed the fog light bulbs also because they were bad and just like anything else it turns into a job.the bolts were rusted on the fog light and when i turned the bolt it broke off so i had to drill it out.always turns into a big job no matter what you do.
SKperformance Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 i hear that gota love opening an ants nest and just finding more problems after problems
bbsal Posted June 13, 2003 Author Posted June 13, 2003 yep thats how it always happens.im going to do them tail lights real soon.i will take some pictures of it while im doing them so maybe that can help some people on here incase they want to try it.talk to you later
jonathanho Posted June 17, 2003 Posted June 17, 2003 Has anyone used something like "Performance Module" before? I recently saw something on ebay at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...9&category=1256 I wonder how that works?!
