Jet Performance Module?

[Talonted93]

ok so i got this Jet performance module for free about a year ago for my grand am. the kid just gave it to me cuz he didnt have his malibu anymore. he said he could feel the difference in power. it is the Dynamic spectrum tuning one. it has an assembly date from 2002 but i cant find a part number to look it up. it has one dial on the front that only turns left and right to one click. does anyone know anything about these? should i install it and see how it works?

Welcome to the site!

I personally wouldn't bother. I hate to break it to you harshly (I'm not trying to be rude or mean here) but there really is nothing that you can plug into the PCM that will give you the same kind of results for actually tuning your PCM for your car. Every car run out the door of the plant has a generic tune that is set for safety as far as engine control is concerned. They are never set up to run the engine at 100% of it's potential because the manufacturer doesn't have the resources to dyno every car it builds to set the PCM with a custom tune for that car/engine/drivetrain combo. I mean, pluging the Jet module in won't hurt anything- if it did, there would be lawsuits all over, and it may help somewhat, or it could be a placebo effect- really the only way to tell is take it to the drag strip (which can vary run to run) or strap it to the rollers of a dyno to see if there is an improvement.

well it doesnt just plug in, there is some wire splicing and other work to install it, there are 4 wires and a ground that need to be connected. i cant get ahold of the guy that gave it to me to see what exactly it does. it isnt like i paid for it, he said he paid $400 for it new. maybe ill do a dyno run with out it then with it, but i think i need other supporting mods first (exhaust and intake)

LOLOL, it's a resistor mod?

it's junk, don't bother.

[Talonted93]

really? is that all it is? it looks a little complicated for that, ive seen the ebay resistors that dont do nothin and this is different, im gonna try to post a pic for you guys...

[Talonted93]

if it works, these are the pics of the unit, in the one pic im holding the wires that need to be spliced into the throttle body

It's a piece of crap. I bought a Jet module for 250$ once (i'll admit to that) and ended up throwing it in the garbage.

[Talonted93]

ok, thanks guys! glad i talked to a few ppl about it... so what do you guys think i could sell it for to someone that thinks it works? lol

[robertisaar]

attaches to the TB?

.... so it's a TPS mod?

it seems incredibly complex just to be that.

[tkoforpresident]

throw it in the garbage or smash it with a hammer.

There is a good deal of satisfaction in that.

[Talonted93]

idk if its a tps mod or what, the guy that gave it to me said all it really did was lie to the computer throwing a flag sayin it was getting too much air that in turn put more gas or visa versa, but like i said it was a year ago and my memory isnt the best. idk, ill probably just sell it

i did a little more research and found out that this unit is the old style of the V-Force Plus by JET... im looking for installation instructions so i cant let you all know exactly where it gets wired in and connects to

[Talonted93]

ok... here is where the wires go

red-fuse box

black-ground

brown-tps (there is a chart you can look at to figure out which wire it connects to for a particular car

grey-MAP or MAF input wire(again there is a chart to find which wire to splice into)

green-MAP or MAF output wire(^)

so i guess it is just a POS mod that is way overexpensive

[Talonted93]

so i guess im just gonna put it on ebay and sell it to someone that thinks they want it, lol
