    Speed Chip question

    the speed chip is the thing ive seen on ebay that plugs..piggybacks (no soldering) into your IAT sensor and aparently alters fuel and timing curves much like an ECU upgrade would...now what i want to know is..has anyone tried this thing?...im bidding on one now...and i was also wondering where the IAT sensor is located..they say its 100% safe...and well im gonna try it see if it does anything at all..heh

    OMG You fell for the scam. Good job.
    Its a resistor the goes on the circut for the intake air sensor. It makes the onboard computer think that there is more air flowing, making it squirt more fuel into the cylinders. The increase is barely noticable, if its noticable at all.

    And with the price of gas now days, is it really worth dumping more fuel in there anyways?

    well on my friends civic Vtec, it DOES help. On high speeds, like 120mph, it still does raise speed. It didn't before chip. Also, it doesn't kick out the rpms after 7000rpm. Now it does about 8500rpms. Ot is EX. and my friend is really crazy.

    Do you think that something that only costed $2 would even make a difference? If that was the case then everyone would want them and the demand would be much greater and therefore the price would be higher.

    none of us have much money...
    that why we don't waste it on shit like that.
    it's not anything that will make a difference on our cars, don't even waste your time

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    Wouldn't the resistance be different for different cars? I heard of some ppl here putting a 4th gen sensor in there car for performane, doing the same thing.

    Yes, I have a 4th gen map sensor in my car.
    From 3000rpm up to 6200rpm its a big difference. It is a worthwhile mod.
