GF Performance Chip Kit for the ACURA TL
http://www.gfchips.com/acuratl.aspx


Has anyone tried?

 

no, because it does not work.

 

60HP! Better milage! Lower emissions! Only 3 easy payments of $21.99!

Zomg! Where do I sign up?!

 

MSRP: $400
Your Price: $70

 

Chad, because we have the same name, I'm going to properly respond.

Justn is right, this does not work, this is basically a gimmick. We have one tuning option, the JnR ecu. It's a legit product. It's almost $1400. That alone should show you things like these are laughable at best.

 

Chad - these things don't work. A lot of them are simple 'resistors' that lean out the air/fuel ratio of the engine, which is already a delicate ratio. What this does is to fake the ECU into thinking it has cooler air (cooler air is more dense because it has more oxygen moecules) and the ECU dumps more fuel into the engine, making it 'seem' like your car is more powerful.

You'll do more harm to your engine than good, so I would stay away.

 

^in addition to what Gatr said, the stock ECU on our cars reflash.
what this means, is the Gforce little resistor will change the Air fuel ratios, but then the stock ECU will re-write over it, reverting back to stock.

 

If you think it works... it works.

 

On their webpage, under Contact Us, I left them a message to respond to comments on this webpage. And I gave them the link. So if they don't respond to "Acurazine", then that would be a bad thing if they want to sell to Acura owners. So this should be interesting.

 

You can't be serious...

 

Funny. There is probably a lot of truth in that. People buy various things..and they say.. oh ya! I can tell a difference! rriigghhttt.. Like who's going to say "I bought crap"?

 

Uhhh, hah, yea...that is interesting.

 

 

I bought one for my truck like 2 years ago, then it started acting up and I opened it... it was a resistor.


I learned from that mistake.

 

I don't see why you're even giving them the chance to reply to us, they'll spoon feed you shit till you agree to buy it.

 

The only real clue they give is that if you compare them to Hypertech, they have like twice as many Automobile companies listed as hypertech. Including Lotus and Maserati. But then again, resistors are universal I guess. =)

 

It's exactly like justn said. It messes with AF and it adds more gas. That can be done on just about any vehicle. And just like he said, the ecu will correct it itself. That's probably true for a lot if not most new cars.

 

^internet high five!

 

109 thanks... 68 of which are from justn.

 

I assume the PC learns, but it learns from ROM. And the Rom IS this chip. Some of these IC's are programmable, others are not. Back in the 80's they were only ROM. Then they became EEPROM eventually. However, I am not saying this company is legit, but separately, you all need to realize that if a computer learns, it will relearn from non-volatile memory. Non-volitale memory is a device that does not lose it's data when power is removed. ie.. when the key is turned off. And these kind of chips are all "non-volatile". They hold all the things to remember! They are not re-written over. They are in fact what the computer defaults back to.

 

Doesn't really matter. Since when did adding a chip at 60 fuckin HP? 7mpg and up to 40% less emissions? It's all bullshit right there in your face and you refuse to see it.

 

My somewhat uniformed self will say our ecu is flash based, not ROM, like the cars where in days past. Lol

Read.

Eh? If you put a passive device in line with a sensor and it continually reads differently than actual then the computer is going to adjust for it. That's all it does and has nothing to do with non-volatile RAM or SRAM's or any of the stuff you mention here.

 

Ignore everyone OP, but not this guy. ^

 

Bad rip offs - dont even bother talking to a company that advertise 60hp. It's this that catches your eyes that eats your $. This will throw off your air fuel mixture to sometime predetonate. More harm done on this peice of junk.

Invest in a real one by JnR, that's the best real-deal you'll have to pay to play.

 

Buy one and open it, see for your self.

 

If something sounds to good to be true, it usually is.

 

I wonder what kind of gains this would produce in the Muscle TL?

 

Probably like 130+ HP

 

you guys got jokes....
har har har har

 

are you sure this isnt a 128mb RAM stick from 1995?

 

^bwhgahahhahahahhahahahha! you sir win the internet

 

I thought the pic that Twiggilus posted was a joke until I went on the website and saw for myself

They also have a chip available for the 1995 Acura TL

 

 

Was a popular "chip" modded ECU back in the days. We're in the new era of tuning.

 

 

I had something similar on my 2000 Accord. I swore there were gains til my buddy smacked me.

Oh those were the days....I wish I could go back

 

Not to mention at least 112 WTQ meaner!! Fuckin' mean!

 

If I could finance it over 60 months, I'd be all over it.

 

where did i say ram? or sram? get a degree.. then call me.
