This simple engine modification is a resisting mod, to fitnaturally aspirated (non-turbo / supercharged) petrol injected engines. Injection models are manufactured after 1988. Themod itself is similar to 'Superchips' E.C.U. Chip.... but far less expensive!Themod adjusts the E.C.U telling the air intake sensor that the air being brought into the engine is cold. Cold air is denser than warm air, therefore containing more oxygen. The fuel injector then releases slightly more fuel giving a richer mixture and a more powerful explosion in the cylinders of you engine. This gives extra BHP to the wheels. Fitting themod needs no mechanic experiance at all! No tools are needed and no soldering or fixing in place is necessary! Beceause themod is not soldered or permanantly fixed in, it can be easily removed for any warrnty reasons! The Timing Advancemod package includes themod itself and a easy to follow, step by step fitting guide. you'll be back on the road with your BHP gain within 5 minutes!!

Supercharged Junkie 0 Posted April 2, 2004 Mate of mine spend about £22 on one of these for his honda prelude (Ahhhh, i mention the H word) :evil: and all he got back was a 20p resistor like VR6 said What made me laugh even more was that he came around to me to fit it for him, and i just laughed by bollocks off :twisted: AVOID AT ALL COST :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted April 2, 2004 This just forces the car into thinking its running in 'cold start' mode the whole time.. i'm not quite sure on the technicalities as to how or why this is supposed to be a good thing, but I wouldn't let someone do that to my car for FREE, let alone pay for it.

Bobbywhacker 0 Posted April 3, 2004 have heard only bad things about these... car thinking its cold all the time can't be good for the mpg! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted April 3, 2004 If you could fit a 20p resistor and make an extra 19bhp.......why don't car manufacturers do this in the first place? Old but it applies to almost every situation - if it sounds too good to be true..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
