Is this "speed chip" BULL?

The idea is sound. We use a similar trick when hacking our MAFs in the nissan community. The idea in our case is to limit the resistor to a lower rating to trick the ECCS into thinking that the air volume entering is something that it is not.

So does it work or not and if it does work is it worth the money?

That is pure bullshit. Come on; 20 horsepower just from overfueling the poor engine? What a laugh! The thing most likely to happen is that the oilfilm on the cylinder walls will be washed away from all that excess fuel, and your engine (more presicely: the cylinder walls) will be ruined.

If the 3G however was running lean as fuck from the factory, like 17:1, there would be an increase in performance by bringing the air/fuel-mixture up to a good 13,5-14:1 (witch is about optimal for performance in a normally aspired engine).

Remember: Just adding fuel does nothing. You have to comprehend with the real problem: getting enough AIR into the engine!

Consider the fact that you have a carbureated DX, where the ECU only Controls emissions (not real engine management like PGMFI does). Even if that chip did do anything it would not work with your car.

What about a FI-swap? That will get you 120 horsepowers with the A20A3-engine, or 122 horsepowers with the no-cat-Euro A20A4. Or maybe a nice, old B20A, or perhaps even a new, fully built B20VTEC? :D

I wish I could afford that. I plan to do a b18 or a b20 swap SOMEDAY.

you can get a resistor for about $1.00.
it's not much difference.
i got a resistor from a friend who paid $10.00 for it, from ebay.
it was funny, he had a mustang but he did'nt wanna try it.
so i tried it on my cougar, it was a lil diff.
then like an hour later the check engine light came on.
when i got the lx-i, i put it in.
the same cept for the check engine light.
