Default What is this and how does it work?

I know its a resistor, but its got a buy it now of 25 cents, I guessing you can get these at radio shack. I am just wondering about it.

It tricks your ECU into thinking incoming air is colder and so it advances the timing. You will gain horsepower out of this, but I wouldn't recommend doing it this way...

Will this void my warranty?
NO! This will not void out most warranties. If you have a very strict underwriter on your warranty, you can undo this modification in less than 5 minutes, and you can even re-install it later. This leaves no trace of any modification.
Will this hurt my car, motor, computer, etc?
NO! This will not hurt your car or have any negative effect on your motor, or computer whatsoever. In fact this modification will actually work WITH your car the way it is designed. Use premium fuel for best results.

What year cars or trucks will this modification work on?
It will work on ALL models of the vehicle listed above (excluding turbos) from 1990 to present.

Will this work on aftermarket intakes, cold air/short ram as well as stock intakes?
YES! It will work on all intakes!



Hahaha this guy is a friggin terrible liar... it will sure as hell void your warranty when they see you've altered your ECU's connections to the sensors! Its an uncontrollable advance in engine timing, and it can't be good on a cold start or in a cold state in general...

Dont get suckered into it!

I didn't want it, I could tell it was one of those things just like the "TURBO ECU Upgrade Feel's Mugen Chip", and the ALL MIGHTY 50+ HP ELECTRIC TURBO. There is so much ---- on ebay they should start banning all that bull-----. Hell one guy sold an ***-kicken on there, and they sell drugs (not complaining) on there. I pretty much have quit going there because of all the bull ----.

I'm Christian, but I can see it now, "REAL HOLY WATER IN SUPER HOLY WATER HOLDER", "REAL CROSS, with warranty", "REAL COIN TOUCHED BY JESUS ( Jesus probably being some mexican guy who sells drugs)"

Really? ah the ones I have seen for sale, they sell locally and its a little box (just a resistor) you cut your IAT sensor and put it between it and the ECU

the second resistor makes the voltage from your O2 sensor lower hence like .2 and then your ECU thinks your lean so it adds fuel and bam you are richening your engine
