His money, not mine, but does this stuff really work like it says?

Re:Z1 Performance Module Kit.. Legit?
 

kind of funny that the add doesnt tell u how the chip works
i wouldnt buy it :-X

Re:Z1 Performance Module Kit.. Legit?
 

sounds like another electric supercharger to me

Re:Z1 Performance Module Kit.. Legit?
 

hmm.. How should I talk him out of it then? I don't want him wasting his money, he needs to hook his car up.

Re:Z1 Performance Module Kit.. Legit?
 

Its just a resistor in a fancy box that advances the timing.

Re:Z1 Performance Module Kit.. Legit?
 

Yeah, looks like one of those resistors. Dont they just increase the amount of air in the engine?

Re:Z1 Performance Module Kit.. Legit?
 

yeah, I'm pretty sur ethey increase the bore and the stroke. ;) lol :P

Re:Z1 Performance Module Kit.. Legit?
 

The baseline HP for the Accord dyno is 218! If their power claims are legit, it definitely wasn't on a stock engine. Tell him to save his money.

Re:Z1 Performance Module Kit.. Legit?
 

Let his dumb ass spend the money and then put your turbokit on and spank him....that will teach him to be a dumb ass :P

Re:Z1 Performance Module Kit.. Legit?
 

Yup 10 cent resistor in a project box.

Re:Z1 Performance Module Kit.. Legit?
 

baabbaaaaababb vvrrooooooomm!!

Re:Z1 Performance Module Kit.. Legit?
 

Let him buy it. Then show him you can do the exact same thing, and do it for free! Although it might be worth it just to check it out. Let him waste his money. Let us know how it is.


I would get him one of these to,--no im not reposting it, its just sayin....LOL

It is a resistor that splices into the intake temp sensor. It tricks the ECU into thinking that the intake air is really cold. I would expect 2-3hp.

Re:Z1 Performance Module Kit.. Legit?
 

lol.. that one doesn't go into the iat i dont think..

Re:Z1 Performance Module Kit.. Legit?
 

That's all it is a resistor to fool your sensor into thinking the car is running cooler than it is and it advances your timing a little bit, which can also be done with a 20 cent resistor from radioshack. It doesn't really work, or it might give him 1hp. Tell him to save his money, for real performance. ---- a cheap ass ebay CAI will cost you about the same and give your more. If he doesn't want to go turbo for any reasons, I would just tell him to save his money and get a simple nitrous system, fairly cheap and proven to give you power.

Unless that friend is really you, and there's really not a friend.... :-* :-* :-* :-* ;) ;)

Re:Z1 Performance Module Kit.. Legit?
 

That's not a bad idea. I might do that ;D

LOL, nah, its my cousin Chris, he's trying to hook up his 93 Accord. He's been leaning towards more ricey ---- (body kit, wing, etc) and I'm trying to make him go more performance.

Re:Z1 Performance Module Kit.. Legit?
 

LOL ;D ;D ;D, I was just joking, Yeah there's always going to be too groups, all show, and all go. Some people just want the attention and get the car all flashy and ----, some people want to be fast. And then there's that extrange third group that wants both, power and looks, but they usually start with the looks first, then go for power.
