YOUR TAKE ON: MOD CHIPS
we see 'em on eBAY ... and they're just pennies on a dollar for the HP claim they say. Good Idea or Bad Idea?... i really wanna try it but i don't wanna screw ish up in my car makin' it all confused w/the air temp and what not... lemme know.. i know some of you out there might also be thinkin' this. and some ov you out there also had experiences..soooo... respond away!
I haven't had any personal experience with'em but I'm also a member of 9thgencorolla.com. At one point I was going to try it on our corolla but after reading afew posts, it all seems like a scam. If it's on ebay and it's cheap, it's def. not worth it.
ive been told that the computer will actually adapt to the chip and change its programing (couldnt think of a better way of explainin since i aint auto iliterate). cheap doesnt necesarily mean bad but 20+hp u gotta be kiddin me for like a few bucks.
My buddy put one of those in his 2001 civic it did put the horse power increase there how ever he took it out be cause his car began to idol all crazy sometimes at 3000k rpm some times one.
All it is is a 0.99 resistorinside a box that plugs into the air sensor harness and what it does is fool your ecu in thinking that there is cold air coming inall the time even if you are drawing in warm air or idoling at a stop light. It won't screw anythingup but, I think it isa joke
