i would say..it couldnt hurt it.. but truth is .. maybe it could. beware

Ooooh, bad choice. Shoulda searched first. Prepare to be flamed.


And no, they don't work.

in theory it should work cause from what I was reading if it connects to the intake temp, then it would in theory trick the ecu into reading an incorect temp (maybe colder air) which could in a way increase hp, but then you would be using more fuel...anyways unless its a known product or you know the internal workings of a mazda ecu, I wouldnt recommend it

Short answer no, long answer no.

The God of the Sea got both short and long answers right.

It could and probably will over the long term. You will probably loose power to boot.

Basically what it does is override the temp sensor for the air intake and makes it read 32* or something. This will cause the computer to do things to compensate that you probably dont want it doing.

Ebay should seriously cancel all those auctions.

[JAmazan]

[RicesP5]

[djdanny5000]

ok ok i wasnt really expecting any positive answers i knew it was most likely bulls*** but worth a shot asking and now i see i shouldnt have ever said anything well no need for this thread to be opened any longer DELETE!!!

 

[anarchistchiken]

Haha, told ya.

We were not really tryin to be dicks (ok maybe) but these have been brought up numerous times, and numerous times have been shown to not have any gains, and eventually throw a CEL.

 

[NoRotorNoMotor]

wow they have made them look pretty and really upped the price on them

a few years ago you could buy them for $5 shipped

guess making a fancy box to hold the 5 cent resistor is worth an extra $25

 

[RicesP5]

maybe he is like me.. to lazy to search thro all 900 threads and then searching thro the posts

 

[Nutari]

maybe he is like me.. to lazy to search thro all 900 threads and then searching thro the posts

he doesnt have to.. just click on the first post about DOES THE EBAY CHIP WORK..

then the 100 NO posts after that would make it very clear.

you're right, they used to just show the resistor, they're moving up!
