Saw this today on the net and thought I'd through it out there just to see what reactions I'd get.

Another scam? Just curious..

Sounds mighty suspicious given the claims. $70 is cheap. Might be a scam to get you credit card. Let us know if you decide to be the guinea pig:-)

 

Gforce has been producing that crap for years

 

Usually some sort of resistor that tricks the ECU into thinking you are stepping on the gas harder than you actually are. Might feel faster at part throttle but no real gains at full throttle.

Clicking on the link and seeing how it hooks up (IAT sensor) it may be tricking the ECU into thinking the air temperature is a lot colder than it actually is.

 

Lol Id like to try it...69 people donate $1 to me...lol...

 

It's actually not a scam. I have eight of them in my TL, and I regularly outrun Lambos.

 

Lmao

 

You'll gain about 30 ft-lbs of bullshit

 

No red text!?! Must be true, brb im buying one.

 

You get more power by putting stickers all over your car

 

^ Not true. IHC stated you gain maximum power by adding 2 throttle body spacers by facing them in the proper direction.

 

If you put a sticker on the TB spacer it quadruples in horsepower.

 

Gained 8 hp at the wheels putting the AEM C. A. R. B. sticker on the intake. Making power is easy when you have VTEC, yo.

 

I'm in for a Group Buy!!!

 

these things are on ebay all the time. it's just a simple little resistor.

the profit margin must be insane.

 

Those only work if you have Illest stickers all over your car, which seems to be a common mod on 3G TLs nowadays.

 

 

Iat resistor. Most cars are programmed to run a couple more degrees in timing when it's cold. Complete waste.

 

 

Sounds like a great way to get check engine lights, since all it's doing is messing with the IAT sensor voltage. They probably just make the IAT reading artificially low so it advances the timing.

The ECU will be awfully confused by the fact that it's getting knocking at -20 degrees air temperature tough.

 

Give the 60 yr old a break.

 

Ouch, thats a low blow for a 59 year old.
