would this work? i ask the seller, but of couse he said it will, but i am skeptical....would it?

not exactly sure, but from what I'm reading it tricks the ecu in thinking there more air coming in, which there isn't and adds more fuel, wouldn't that make a super rich condition which only lowers performance?

nevermind its just another 25 cent resistor sold under a new name, 'performance chip' and new price of $40....

Is this the same crap???

Will this actually work??

ok two things... A. It promises huge gains for only 9.99 and B. Its on ebay from an unknown company-- same scam different name.

do you know your car is odb2 and has 2 oxygen sensors?

U can bypass those i thought by tapping in your ecu,,somehow..right

94LOOD · 07-30-2002, 07:30 PM

bypass what?

Jet Performance can reprogram your OBD II prelude ECU. at $270 or so, it's better to save your money and go programmable.

they dont advertise it since it's illegal, but i have dealt with them many times and they have the ability to adjust your timing curve and injector load.

Im leaving my ECU alone.. if I mess with it, it'll be to pull it and put the ODBI in.

I can see the advance timing helping, but enrichening the system? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of the chip, since we are already rich? And for that matter, why does he call it a chip when it is probably a resistor in a plastic box.

You mean if you do a 5sp swap, right?
