No idea. Looks interesting.

It may end thoes pesky CEL's.

 

i had one of these on my other car. they called it a MAF Translator Plus. they do work and work good however i am not to sure about this one on the cobalt. i am sure it works on the same technology principle

 

will it add hp or torque or just fuel effeciency?

 

JMC007 has a post about it on .com aparrently they are doing some testing on a CSS w/ the 2.85 pulley among other mods.

 

The guy has a 100% rating, I would say his products are mostly non-bs. It's a little pricy though for something that will probably throw a library of codes at you.

 

I noticed it requires the use of a wide band O2 sensor. I know the 2.2 uses a narrow band, I don't know about the 2.0. For the 2.2, that would require you to install a second sensor. You can't just replace the one you have because it would mess up all the other stuff that reads off it.

BTW, just for those that don't know; Narrow band means 0-1 volts, wide means 0-5 volts.

 

not too sure the guy look like he does nto sell BS but then again who knows...

 

he got a LOT i mean ALOT of good feed back...

 

No, its not BS... all you are doing is modifing the MAF reading thereby tricking the ECU to think it is geting more air then it is, thereby making the ecu add fuel... I would say use at your own risk however, because Im like 75% sure the ECU is going to spaz and toss CELs alll day... its hard to say the quality from just looking at it you know??

 

2.0 is not WB either, so you would need a second bung to add the WB (and a WB controller of course)
WOT

 

I have had this product on my car as a test vehicle for the company. it did work and take just a minute to install. I did not get a CEL when I had it on my car. BTW Pulley Technologies is an offshoot of ZZperformance so ask the GTP guys if they offer good products.

 

they are just saying you should use a wideband to verify A:F ratios. You could even rent some dyno time for that purpose. The AFC itself is not dependant on a Wide Band.

 

I don't know if I'd trust something that looks like a Gigapet to control my A/F ratio! but then again you can't judge a book by it's cover. It is really hard to know the quality of a product when they are from small independant speed shops/companies. I think I'd wait until a more reputable mf to release something.

 

I have one of those exact products from ZZPerformance, and its great. You will need some way to monitor the A/F though. I use a OBD2 scanner. A wide band would be better ofcourse, but I don't have one. They are great products and would almost definetely fix the CEL problems.

If your running lean (CEL) then you up the % and the PCM adds more fuel. Done.

 

thats pretty cool.... as long as its not BS that is.

 

i had one on my GT before I got my PCM tuner. GREAT PRODUCT! It may look like a "gigapet" but it does the job well. For the price, you cant beat it. If I were you guys, i would ****** this up quick.

You can use a narrow band o2 just fine. But it is a narrow band afterall and it could be a little off. I tuned with a narrow band and it was fine.

their website is www.easyperformance.com if you want to look it over. They test their products very well and never put out something half assed. Their CAI is the best on the market, so were the rockers for a GT, everything they have developed has been tested very well as you can see from their website.

 

That looks great. Although I am not sure If Im going to get that over the ECU upgrade from the Stage 1 GM.

 

I didnt know pully technologies was part of zz performance, i got a 3.0 pully from PT, as for this piece, depends on the stage 1....... Although the price isnt that bad to get rid of CEL codes and it seems there is a long range of adjustment on the A/F ratio.....

 

the stage 1 kit will only have a PCM flash. It will not be a custom tune. The stage 1 will only have a general tune rather than a perfect one. I would say get both. Get the stage 1 PCM and make it better

 

good call stuffy, and good point, the stage 1 will not be adjustable......

 

I'm kinda suprised you guys are happier about this product. It should solve the CEL problems that your getting. And will work with any upgraded PCM. I would jump on this one.

 

It COULD be useful, but until someone tries it with the LSJ + CAI and/or pully we'll never know

BUT IMO the very last sentence in the auction listing tells the tale


WopOnTour

 

I have tried it with those very parameters.

 

AND??
