The new guy I work with actually bought it thinking it was a "chip" for his car (which he still does oddly), a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 5sp manual. So with his min. bid of $5 which ended up going to $10 he got his "chip".
And oh, you bet i wanted to see what it was and with instructions and all..... HELLO RESISTOR That's it, maybe I could have pitched him my led resistor for $4 and sold him 20 which would make 400 hp if wired together |
even similar to those $20+ items =p
Complaint : not a module 2 wires w/resistor $5 Item buyer beware hooks up to your Iat sensor Response by performanceparts_co - MSRP IS $99. WE OFFER WHOLESALE PRICES. DYNO PROVEN PERFORMANCE. MANY HAPPY PPL http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...bayphotohosting |
get the colours or a pic of it so that anyone who is kinda irked/curious by this so called power booster can take the colour code down to radio shack and buy one for liek .30 cents...
|
haha i would/should
he didn't even know how to install (guy's half geek/half fast and furious) I won't even touch the damned thing near his car I'd take a pic as soon as i can get a reason to other than "i gotta show how you wasted cash" |
Before 20+HP resistor mod:
After 20+HP resistor mod: :smokin: |
AHAHAHAHAHA that was golden Final, lol :P

i've seen those things plenty of times on ebay...do they actually do anything for HP?
|
If they do its minimal but it may help add more fuel if you are lean but probably not enough to boast about.
|
Anything that promises 20 hp+ for that price should be avoided. Pretty much all of them are too good to be true or offer only a tiny bit of benefit.
|
They don't really do anything but if you want one, they are sold in packs of 5 for $1. 330k resistors
|
i tried it (no, i didn't buy mine off of e-bay, i got it at radio shack), and it did work a bit. i just burned gas quicker. i noticed a lil more jump off the line and top end, but it definitely isn't even worth considering. i undid it and noticed no difference
|
Do you think the resistor will add 20 hp on it's own, with a CAI, or not at all
|
not at all... havnt you read this thread?
It's sarcasm... BEFORE 20+HP resistor mod: AFTER 20+HP resistor mod: IT GETS YOU THA HUNNIES!!! |
bahhahaha^^^
|
I also tried this "mod" when I had my GA. Bought a pack of .1k ohm resistors from Radio Shack for like $.99. You disconnect the wiring harness from the IAT sensor and put the resistor in its place. It's supposed to make the computer think it's like 40 degrees outside or something, adding more fuel. Didn't help me a bit, though.
|
HA! HA! HA! That's great stuff Final. Excellent way to pile on the sarcasm. :thumbsup:
|
Thanks... I should start selling resistors on ebay for $5 apiece using those handy pictures...
