Power programmer
 

E-mailed Hypertech today and they have no plans on making a programmer for the H-3.[:@]

Bummer!

As underpowered as these things are you would think that there would be some performance parts availible.

The search feature works great...Look to old threads on this very subject...Like, "More Power"

Jet Performance is working on a programmed Module as we speak..Sometime this summer it will out for the H3....Maybe you can give them a call as I did and suggest they hurry it up.

RE: Power programmer
 

Funny, I don't think the H3 with 4.56 gears is really underpowered. I've driven a new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and the H3 gets it better then the Unlimited.

That isn't to say a little more omph wouldn't be nice, but its not a V8...or a vette. They are geared towards offroad, and there its has PLENTY of power.

The Vortec 3500 is a common motor across the GM truck lines, hopefully we'll see some real power parts or a well engineered turbo or supercharger kit.

RE: Power programmer
 

I really thought Hypertech would come through also. That's too bad.

I agree, enjoy the H3 for what it is. Why mess around with the engine just to get reduced reliability and gas mileage? If you gotta spend money, go for a winch, sway bar disconnects, tires, and then lockers!

After that, just add to the fleet and enjoy the best of both worlds. Put "some aside" and pick up a nice new Solstice GXP, BMW M Roadster, CTS V, M3, any sport bike, or whatever else fulfills your asphalt needs!

If you really want big power out of the V3500, you'll have to look at something like the SuperCharger kit that MagnaCharger is working on:

It also looks like UniChip is working on a solution for the V3500, but I don't know if its Colorado/Canyon specific or if it will work for the H3 also.

It'd sure be fun to have ~300'ish HP on the H3, but at what cost to your wallet and to your warranty.

RE: Power programmer
 

I'm surprised you can't just have a tuner who can do GM cars chip it right now. The right tune shouldn't cost you any gas mileage either.

RE: Power programmer
 

The problem is as I was told..The market on these things was/is geared more for the V8 and diesels and some V6s'...The technology or market didn't demand anything for a 5 cylinder..Now as the H3 are flooding the market the demand for them is there as compared to the Colorado...But you're right, you'd think with a flip of a switch, it could be set up for a 5 cylinder..boddaboom-boddabing

RE: Power programmer
 

There is a company in Arizona that we use here at Lund Hummer that can calibrate your Hummer H3 and WOW what a differance. I am selling them as fast as I have them programmed. The company is called premier performance. Email me and I will give you the guy's info. There are also a Volant dealer.

RE: Power programmer
 

What's the costs..And what's involved..In otherwords, is the programming permanent and/or can it be returned to factory settings..I'm very interested..Obviously you guys have no problem with validating the warrany after the re-programming either.

Thanks..This maybe the break through we've been waiting for.[8D]
