Originally posted by fireballs gs400 curious about the steering ecu. what does it produce? the performance aspects are? the venom 400 any good on the lexus gs400. How about the jet chip? just wondering what some of the big dogs thought about these things. thanks bryan
Steering ECU increases steering effort, and most say it eliminates dead spot / play in the steering on the highway. Either way, everyone who has one loves it. Cheap mod and easy to install. Order through www.l-tunedparts.com.
Not sure what a Venom 400 is.
As far as the jet 'chip' - haven't seen anyone on ClubLexus yet who's willing to try it, and Jet has produced no dynos backing up claims that I know of. It's not a 'chip' - you send them your car ECU (incapacitating your car while it's away!) and they apparently send you back a reprogrammed ECU.
Just out of curiousity, if you install the SRT Intake and ECU, does that void your warranty if there are any problems? Will Lexus still honor it and will it screw up their diagnostic checks when you take your car in for the 30, 60, mile maintenance checks?
I'm thinking of getting the SRT intake, but I really don't want to void my warranty, especially once you do a wire tap with the ECU. And how do dealerships view these types of mods when working on your car? Will they use that as an excuse if your car doesn't run correctly and they can't figure out the problem?
