has anyone every tried one of those performance chips that are on ebay?? if so do they work if not, would it work?? im curious b/c people actually do buy them and i wonder if anyone on this site has bought one.

 

the jet ones ?? i would definately not buy one but hey its your engine

 

no... just no...

shame on you for thinking that a $20 "performance" chip would do anything besides **** up your car...

it's just a $0.10 resistor from Radio Shack that fools your MAF sensor into giving a different reading, thus making your vehicle run pig rich. Not really good for anything... kinda like a turbonator or those electric superchargers...

if you wanna spend the $20... paypal it to me... I'll go buy some beer...

 

Yea man, don't waste your time or money on them.

 

it makes your car run lean i think, and thats assuming they even send you one. i knew people in the past whove ordered them, and they dont get it.

 

thats sig material

 

Well a friend of mine bought one and got it. I told him they were crap so he. gave it to me and I smashed it to take a pict. Here it is a big box with only a little capaciter.

 

I was gonna add... and then tell you that there is a horsepower difference...

but I thought that it might be overkill...



on a serious note... if you're looking for a cheap power mod... search for "Airbox Modification" 25 bucks... instant cold-air... don't get much better...

I hate to quote whole images... but that's absolutely the best thing I've seen on here.

Can we sticky this thread? Just so other n00bs can see that pic?

 

buying those "performance chips" is almost as good as going to an auto parts store and getting a some decals.

 

Heres the pict of the super horse power thing

All that box and this is all thats in it.

 

I asked the exact same question when i first got on this site. Heres a link to the post.

Gotta love the arguments in this one. ;-)

 

hahaha thats funny b/c i work @ radio shack here and im wondering if i can buy some @ cost and sell them on ebay for some extra $$..hahaha

 

If you can put them in a super-cool looking plastic box... heck yeah... or if you could solder some to a small circuit board... so it looked complicated...
you could probably make some $$$ off other poor saps...

sell it as a Honda Civic mod... LOL

 

I'll sell you a super widget that will give you 30 more HP at the wheels for the low one time price of $99.99!

That "chip" is along the same lines.

Its BS don't bother and if anyone tells you differently slap them in the forhead with your dick.

 

How do you do that? You take it off or walk around on stilts?

 

sorry... not letting another car enthusiast's forehead anywhere near my dick... LOL

 

You would probably get more power gains by taking a massive dump before going to the track...weight saving mod FTW!

 

lol...thats great.

 

hey at least when you get a decal, you look like a ricer. and some people actually like that for some reason. like my friend purposely wants to get a load as F*** exhaust and for like cheap money. he wants the ricer sound
