20hp mod
i was just surfing ebay and came accross this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1874545097
you guys think its legit? ________ Alessandra cam |
it's bunk.

As far as I know, there is no avaliable 'piggyback' chip for our ECUs, let alone for $5. Intake chip? How's about there are no electronics on an intake in the first place, aside from the MAF/VAF. Unless this chip is a MAP sensor (i.e. no more MAF/VAF airflow restriction) then there is NO way you could get 20 hp from any intake electronics.... Junk, enough said.

yea , thats exactly what i was thinking. and you see how corny the damn ad is too, definitly not legit. believe it or not, there is MAD of them on ebay. take a look.

It's just a 33k OHM resistor from Radio Shack.

No. Same thing with electric superchargers. If you don't believe me, search on www.FreshAlloy.com for "electric super" and feast your eyes ;)

Nah dude, those stuff are transistors that you could
buy from radioshack They are ripping people off, better not to waste your $ on it :D |
consider protege's still have distributor ignitions (mine does, I haven't looked at newer 2003 2.0's, I doubt they've gone to electric distribution.)
this leaves you room to advance timing at MOST 1 degree, you can push 1.5 or 2 degree's but your ganna knock. advancing timing does give a little performance but dont expect anything substantial. timing chips on ebay = resistors or a little box with a pot in it that you can adjust ohm range (its a fancy resistor) electric turbo charger on ebay = a fan that blows air into your manifold, there is no compression hence no boost. it may give you 1-2 hp but its noisy, a drain on the battery (if it really moves 450 cubic feet of air, its gatta be a very high wattage fan, hence the noise) and doesn't really do anything but allow for peak airflow. anyone would be better off with a 'tornado' that you stick in your air intake tube, they actually atomize the air/fuel mixture giving you a smoother rev. they'll improve your gas milage a few percent but you might also notice a few pounds of additional torque at very high rpms. |
those free HP mods are the biggest load of shit i hav eever seen i my life, they don't do jack and can possibly damage car.
there is no such thing as free HP |
All the 3rd gens use coil packs for igition, fyi...
|
so on 3rd gens you might be able to advance up to 3 degrees without damage, giving you probably 10 lbs of additional torque.
