We can get our computer chip upgraded now

Don't believe what Jet tells you. Find someone who has done before and after dynos, or do them yourself. That's crap that you can't return it if it doesn't show gains.

My personal skepticism makes me say: Never trust a company's dyno result for its own product.

Yes, Jet can upgrade your 2002 Lancer ECU (computer) and gain the vehicle 12-14 more horsepower at the wheels (stock vehicle), with mods the gain may only be 8-10 more hp, but the fuel and timing curves will be corrected to accommodate the modifications you have made.
thank you,

From SCC, Jim Wolf has created a hacked ecu on a 200Sx (if I remember correctly) . . . 2-4 WHP gain on standalone. With other mods, HP figures started to pick up a bit from aggressive A/F timing.

Sounds almost like one of those "advance timing kits" on eBay, to be frank.
I thought that the Mitsu computers hadn't been hacked since 98? I mean, I could be absolutely wrong, but...
And yes, never trust a company dyno. Dyno's can be made to say whatever you want them to say.

If I'm correct, you send your ECU as core, and JW returns an ECU with revised programming . . . via flash bios??? That's what I mean by hacking.
It's not a chip replacement like GM or VW.

Good to see some support though.

does this chip possibly rid the speed/rev limiters? not that i would wanna get rid of the rev limiter, but the speed limiter would be a nice thing to ditch, for the future of course, since i can't hit 125 yet.

Ask 'em. They say it varies from application to application. I see very little use in it though. I wouldn't up the rev limit at all without re-doing the entire guts of the motor...conrods=to long...but hey, it gives us that copious torque we enjoy from the line.
