Computer Reprogramming for the 99-03 TLs? by JET
Here is the link.

The catch is you have to send them your engines computer for reprogramming. 9-11 hp throughout the whole range. I have heard of JET performance before, but I'm not sure if this company is the same one.
What do you guys think..
It would have to be reversable as well. And if sending it to them is the only way to reverce it, that may be a problem.
Just happen to see it in my travels and thought I would mention it.

sounds like a unichip buy is being arranged, but it will be $100 up front and a total of $600 when everything is said and done. Might be worth it though, the dyno results on the other thread speak for them selfs, 20hp and 20 torque, is a amazing gain for the money, you wouldn't get that out of headers.

wow for 230$ i might try it. im gonna store my car all winter anyway, so i could send them my ECU!
but do you think i'll still be able to use a v-afc after that??
what will they exactly do to my ECU?
i read on their website that they could program the ECU according to the modifications you have done. so if i tell them i have intake/exhaust/headers and soon type-s cams, they can program the ECU so it works well with the mods, but how is it possible for them to know exactly the settings to go with the mods i did?

I saw that yesterday as well that JET had a configuration for our cars. HOWEVER!!! I would not do anything like that unless you contact JET directly. I went on their site to confirm it yesterday and they do not list it as one of their official products. I would definitly make sure that they aren't going to give you a Accord setting or some BS piggyback that will hurt your ecu more then help it.

I sent jet a email today and they said they make one for our cars and they have not updated the site yet.he also said you should do every thing you want to your car before you do this.you have to list all of your mods when you send it off with your ecu.I'm getting pulleys and then I'm getting it.

What happens if you pull the battery? Will the new code remain in it's memory? Also, are there any instances where one would need their ECU reprogrammed due to some sort of failure or error? The reason I ask is because if the dealer says "Oh, such and such died and it effected your ecu, so we needed to reprogram your ecu….. blah blah blah" that would wax the Jet code. Or are the chances of this slim to none?

Here's mattg's dyno just for reference.

The hp numbers are all messed up because they tried to correct for flywheel values, but they only put a 12% powetrain loss in, which is pretty inaccurate (our powertrain loss is more like 20-25%!!!!)
I definitely think the Unichip is a great mod, and a very easy one to install due to the PnP harness. But I'd recommend you get other mods before the Unichip or Jet ECU upgrade like intake/headers first.
