Anyone hear of or have the Jet Performance chip for the M44?

It advertises 17+ hp for the 318i, but I'm assuming they're talking about M42. Do you think these guys know what they're doing?

Interesting, where does the board get installed, under the glove box?

it looks like you send your ECU back and they re-flash it.

At least they cover overnight shipping... maybe good while on vacation or something?

Well if anyone's interested in getting one, please let us know how it works out.

Too bad you don't live any closer. They're a quick 10 mins away from me.

I've always associated Jet with like DIESEL TRUCKS and Domestics.

EDIT: If anyone is up for it, try and contact the chip tuner here:

He's got a chip for an M42 E30 tho, but I'm sure he can conjure something up for us.

Many E34 guys swear by this guys chip.
Compared to the Turner and Dinan chips, which give you max power at max revs, this guy tunes for REAL DRIVEABILITY and as much LOW DOWN TORQUE as possible. Lots of guys on bimmerforums turned in their Turner/Dinan chips for his. Says alot.

They just don't send you the chip? OBDII usually requires that you send in the ECU to be reprogrammed. OBDI is usually just a pull off the old chip, and put in the new chip..

That's why most people like the shark injector, doesn't require you to send in the ECU to be reprogrammed.

Hello,
I have a 98 BMW Z3 and i recently put a JET chip in my car. I'm very satisfied with the performance. You can especially feel the acceleration from 3 to 4 thousand rpm. Thank you

Haven't you asked the same question before about other chips? No, it won't work. And where did you get 20 from? The original says 17, but it is probably more like 10, and on an M44(which is doesn't say then even make a chip for) it would be more like 2 or 3.

They may move the powerband around, but I don't see them producing a whole lot more power than any of the other chip tuners..

Can I use the (insert chip name here) chip with the supercharger/turbo?
No, chips that are designed for N/A motors advance the timing too much for FI applications. Be sure to swap back to your original chip before installing a FI system.

Can you even get a shark injector for the M44?

No clue.. But I know that is the easiest way to "chip" a 328..
