Jet chip install (HORRIBLE AND NOT EASY AND AFTER INSTALL ITS GO TIME!!!!!!) NICECHIP

READ LAST POST IF U WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PERFORMANCE
IMPROVEMENTS.

NEVER MIND THE PICS I FIXED THE INSTALL. CLEANLY IN TO THE BAY.

READ LAST POST. 400 viewers and no posts. HMMM



DO NOT, I MEAN DO NOT GET THIS CHIP IF U HAVE NEWER 300C or MAGNUM.
If ur car is made after july 04, this is one hell of a install and not a whole lot worth it for 10-20 hp it provides. I am including pictures, i destroyed some firewall or some padding i think in the car it was one frustrating install PIC#1 and PIC#2. OK
I finnally did not give and thought of another solution. I ran the 3 ECM cables to the engine side. Please look at PIC#4 for this one and then i rested the ecm on top of the engine cover PIC#3. IS THIS SAFE, THE HOOD CLOSES COMPLETELY. Will the engine temp burn my ECU away. NEED HELP Please respond right away i need some help fast. I cant do a 0-60 without the safety of the ECU, Plz let me know.

I could tottaly understand, but can we all let this go under our radars and help me out i can even attach everything back, the firewall was not removed only the padding(INSULATION i can tell because i am allergic to it) on it.
SC(SUPER CHARGER).

PS: TURNED the car on, will leave it on but the ECM is NOT resting on the engine cover. I want to test how HOT the engine cover gets.

I had a heck of a time too. I used a big pry bar and pushed back on the rubber moulding. It finally went in. I plugged everything in first...then used the bar to push the plastic back far enough.
I hope it helps...

Ditto. Also, install the module to the disconnected ECU on a flat firm surface and press firmly and evenly on the module so that it properly seats on the ECU.

Very true,

That could be done. There is a lot of empty space behind that padding, why the hell did dcx even put this thing(padding) here anyway. OK padding can be pushed back but what about the, small bar that sticks the one that blocks the jetchip from going in to that slot in the first place.
