Is this BS or true?
 

on ebay some is selling intake senor claim more HP gain and throttle bypass claiming 8 hp gain True or BS? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1853720277

more BS

this is the other gain

lmao did you have to ask? you just answered your own question!

Yeah....thats is for real...

REAL :bsflag:

:bs:

Ebay is really have a lot of problems lately with Fraud and this stuff does not help.

damn makes me wanna :piss:

look at the picture. i don't get it.

it would be nice if they had a picture of the actual product.

DON'T GET IT!!!
 

I won one on ebay, the guy has yet to send it to me, he's 'on vacation' ( I must have been on vacation!!!) DON'T DO IT!!!!
Spends the ten bucks on a used cd, a K&N oil filter or something you won't feel stupid a-boat.

Yes,the picture is ugly,but YES this product would work.
Your proteges are rough in cold starts because the air flow senses that the air is colder and enrichens the air/gas ratio..
If you find a way to get cold air flowing past this sensor all the time,the air/gas ratio will always be richer so performance will be increased depending on ambient temperature.
So basically this is something you could do all by yourself with a little handwork.

finally got it.
 

Ok, so I finally got the 'Throttle Body Bypass', and it's a resistor taped to an instruction sheet. You remove the throttle body sensor wiring harness, put this resistor inline, and that's it. I guess if you were going all the way with cams, timing, etc. it might be just the extra bit to set you over the top, but I can't really see it making too much of a difference with just my k&n drop in air filter.
bye bye $10 ;-)

You actually bought one!!!

Oh well live and let learn:D

But this thing DOES NOT get cold air passing the sensor. It makes the sensor THINK there is cold air present.

So it'll enrich the fuel mixture, but you're still breathing hotter air. Just MHO, but I'd think there could be a risk of detonation with this thing. Let the damn ECU work like it should - it gives the right amount of fuel based on the intake temperature. Adding fuel to air in an improper ratio is not going to increase performance. Extra gas without the extra air (well - extra oxygen - cold air is denser, and has more oxygen in it that hotter air) to combust that fuel is not "performance" - it's "bad tuning".

I love how in the auction he claims that you WILL somehow get cold air : What is this guy selling - a bucket of ice? You can't cool the intake air magically.

Don't do it. These things are a waste, IMO.

I love it! A bucket of ice :)

That's awesome heehee

Yeah - but the funny thing is that IS an old hot-rod trick - usually cooling the fuel, though.

Imagine a can, usually wrapped in cork for insulation, with a coil of metal tubing inside, and inlet and an outlet. You connect this inlie with the fuel line, load the can (usually called a "cool can") with ice or icewater, and your gas runs through the coil and is cooled before entering the engine. Kinda like a cheap intercooler for the fuel.
