It shows it for a 2006 TSX. Has anyone tried this?

Those things are useless.

just curious, I wonder how many people would buy that stuff and how they could give "SUPER" Positive Feedback to seller... I WONDER~~

yeah, like JTso said, it's garbage

greendestiny

you know whats funny? He's got a 98% positive feedback. Majority of the people on there say they feel a difference.

I was told by someone that this chip basically tricks your ECU into thinking the air is colder/denser on the intake side..so therefore the computer will allow maximum timing and therefore causing it throw in a little bit more fuel... hence the reason why cars run better at night time and run sluggish on a very hot summer day.

Personally, I would not run this thing on my car.

It's like the Tornado. It's a fan that's put in the intake of a car (some variants just have fins). Even though it creates a bottleneck in the intake and causes turbulence, many people will swear by it (ie: claims they got increased power and fuel economy).

And yes, I agree, it doesn't do what it claims.

We oughta just paypal someone here $1 each person to come up with a few $. Then have someone actually install it on their TSX and put it on a dyno to see for real if they get ANY increase at all.

SoCaliTrojan

I just browsed through some of their feedback ratings (wow, lots of negative and neutral ratings). The negative feedbacks generally called it a resistor (not a chip). So I'm guessing they just fool the ecu into doing something like advancing the timing or something? *shrugs*

vidgamer

Just trying to fool the airflow probably... The ECU probably will compensate for that anyways, as it adjusts the A/F ratio all the time. (It has 2 O2 sensors in the exhaust.)

Don't waste your money on that =]

i have it and am pushing 325whp off a mustang dyno

d00d, get yourself some JDM LICENSE PLATE BOLTS save 30g each bolt then run 9s just liek paul walker PSSHH PSSHH so tyte y0!

dom

Buy it and let us know.

narci

BUTT DYNO but usually means nothing. Probably all pyschological.

My car already has a tendency to ping quite readily--I can't imagine having the timing advanced any more than it already is.

I'd gladly take more relaxed timing or cooler spark plugs combined with a higher rev limiter and lower VTEC high-lift cam engagement point. That would probably go a long way in increasing performance.

I haven't hit my rev limiter yet, but I know that at an indicated 7400-7500 RPM (I must be damn close at that point), the engine still feels like the power is ramping up.

ILoveMyHonda

Yeah those things are nothin but piggybacks. It is just a resistor, it's a resistor that goes into the intake sensor plug, bypassing the OEM sensor and basically tricks the ecu into thinking there is colder air coming thru. Like what has already been said.

Just get and ohmeter, find the proper resistence, and buy a resistor from radio shack.
INSTA-PERFORMACE-CHIP!

GARBAGE.

evo_to_tsx

I hope you are being sarcastic.. even if you give me the part for free and pay me to have it tested, i wouldnt want that thing to be on my car and cause possible damage

Will this work with my SC?

joerockt

$8?? SIGN ME UP!

I mean, they DO have a 100% satisfaction guarantee

You know, actually they must be legit, they didnt mention anything about better mileage

jiggaman

you think i'll get a CEL with this?

joerockt

Most likely you'll get a POS...
