Be careful because the butt dyno can be deceptive. Real dyno time with a/f readings are the only way to tell for sure.Quote:

this is true but... i have had my car way long enough to know how it should feel i.e. when to shift, where to shift, etc... like i said im not gonna dispute my findings yet. would be intersting to dyno.Quote:

Hey look, I just built one of those resistor boxes with an on/off option for under $20

SHUT UP! DAMN! Always gotta one up me eh! lmao nice! just gotta clean it up now.Quote:

I can chirp the tires into 2nd without any mods to the car....
shift hard and fast.Quote:

I had one of these as well when I first started to mod my Aveo. It plugged into the sensor as well. This IS a different brand so it could work I guess; but just as a warning all mine did was make my Aveo run rich and smoke whenever I went somewhere. So I took it off because it didn't work. But if this one does work, more power to you! :)
if i'm not mistaken didnt we have a thread of some resistor thing causing damage to the ecu awhile back? in my grand national i have a caspers electronics-throttle enhancer calibrator, that at 60% throttles reads it as WOT,and increases timing/fuel. now that made a huge difference in the GN.
Honestly, I rarely trust any "quick fix" solution. Whether from e-bay or where ever.
I have had factory upgrade chips put in cars before, but never any sensor "foolers" I tend to believe that any time you "trick" your sensors, it will only result in the sensors going bad, or in the long run, making the car run like ass.
The only things I will buy off ebay are cool body parts, maybe lights, or spare parts when I need them. I may be a little odt fashoned though.
theres no way to get around power costing money
I HAD that same "module" in my aveo too. i took it off because my engine light came on. so i ran a diagnostic test on and it turns out that the cat converter had carbon build-up in it. this is because the module makes the computer engine think its a vary cold day and adds more gas in the engine then necessary. the air flow stays the same. the module is nothing but a resistor in a fancy case. this goes for ALL performance chips and modules on ebay, unless its outrageously expensive, its a fake, and will **** up your engine!!!! (pardon my french)
it could be outrageously expensive and still be a fake. thanks! more evicence to not buy these things! save ur 10$!Quote:

REALLY?Quote:

some of the adjustable ones are just $2 rheostats?(i think is what it is called) which is just an adjustable resistor, like a dimmer on a light.
I was being sarcastic since this has been covered that no less than 20 times just in this thread.
oh. i only really read what was posted in 2009..
