ebay mod chip/resistor 20% more power-the truth

[1991_Vn2nV]

Can you fart in my airbox? I would like proof of this performance gain

Sure thing... you just need to supply the bake beans beforehand.

I'm assuming the performance increase would be about the same as a dry nitro shot...

has it been dyno proven?

 

[Jesterarts]

Yet to find a dyno that can handle the sudden torque increase...

Jesus ****ing christ, delete this thread.

Do a search, there has been about 7 of these threads in the last few months. It's getting boring.

We have all seen the add on ebay as seen in the below pic....
Everyone is sceptical about it too.
If this hasn't been posted yet here's the info.
The truth is is that it is a $1.00 resistor available at ANY Dick Smith Electronics store. I did it to my car a year ago and yes it does work...slightly.
I did notice a difference but I doubt 20kw.
In a nutshell it tricks your car into thinking it is always cold outside. It is too dark to check but I will come back tomorrow with the colour code for this resistor and how to install it...10 minutes...no tools, an only $1...not $20.

As you have heard, it's not a good idea, but I do understand that you were just trying to be helpful.

Finally some who understands there are people "just trying to help".

Just trying to help bro....sorry that it didnt live up to your expectations.
I am trying see how much I can get out of my car without going forced induction or cracking the block, everything is worth a try if you are curious and experimental. And as I have said I was just "trying to help". Maybe in future ill run my threads past you first......for your approval.

Thanks for trying to help mate... Its just after you spend a few months on this forum you'll notice one of these threads pops up almost weekly.

Age old truth, if it sounds too good to be true...
