saso said a post about products that dont work would be nice in another thread... i figured why not start one... if u have used a product that doesnt work or have had bad luck with... post it here... lets try to keep this post for that only... take OT conversation into im's

im sure this could help everyone out

 

Just a few:

Phantom Grip
Tornado/Swirlmax (or any other "swirly air part that you stick into your intake")
Z-Max or any other fix-all-of-your-problems-in-a-bottle additive
Denso Iridium spark plugs (dyno tested by yours truely)
Electric turbo (bahaha)
Nology Hotwires

- Slater

 

Magnecor spark plug wires

 

Moroso oil pan, moroso's control arm, moroso's traction bar didnt fit. Ractive air filter(turbo sucked it in). Quaifes(standard)3rd gear. Pro-drive axle broke like tooth picks ,sorry to have to blast but... mallory fpr, Cm stage 3,4,5 couldnt take power it said it would. Damn I better stop bf I get flamed. But on the otherside I can name a few products that are very good. Maybe we can do that post also.

 

turbo timer, since you always have this distrust of leaving your car running hehehehehhehehe

 

Methanol rocks! haha...

 

mugen/spoon reservoir covers

 

yes, they do suck! i have had all four metal prongs that fit into the distributer seperate from the wires itself. stock also fit much better.

 

epil stop hair remover
white srtips....teeth whitners

 

weapon R fpr...... had a super thin and cheap gasket that ripped and costed me a new motor for my accord.

 

Anything made by Jacobs Ignition (have one for sale real cheap!).
HP Racing fuel rails
Mystery Oils
Fix-A-Flat

 

msd plug wires...mine kept falling off (along with some other people i know), even after i tightend the end. (thats why i use stock now)
turbonetics turbos(no flames intended) but they seem to fail more than any other

 

I'll second the Moroso oil pan. That b*tch never fit right, always leaking oil everywhere...

Tom

 

Withdrawal method...

 

Stupid Missing Link, damn check engine light

 

AEM FPR works great but alot of people dont realize it cant handle over 70psi of fuel pressure. soooo heres mine; AEM FPR above 70psi will blow the diaphram.

 

anything made by prodrive. High price tag, not worth a penny.

art

 

Yea but i saw him on this ummmm MTV special and uhhh he looked really cool and his car was really fast and it had a big sticker that said uhhh prodrive on it so he must be sponsored or something right?

 

msd plug wires.
denso iridum spark plugs.
moroso oil pan...it fit but it needed "coaxing".
greddy blue box

what's the deal w/ prodrive? i was planning on using the oil pump gear

 

Bwahahahahaha thats hysterical!

My list (oooh boy):
J&S Ultra, Classic, Super Duper. Band aids for poor tuning.
Water injection. Band aid for poor tuning
Magnecor, MSD, Neuspeed, Ractive, Nology spark plug wires and plus a ton more.
block guards, pick your brand
denso, any of their plugs
Unorthodox crank pullies
STR Products
especially their billet cam seals
Total Seal rings
oil additives
any air filter that's less than 40 bucks
Venom injectors - they just suck at what they do

I'll think of more....

 

deltagates

 

Autometer A/F Guages or any narrow band A/F guages.
But they sure got some pretty lights. :D

 

They actually work pretty well for tuning part throttle/stoich.... At least mine does.

Full throttle tuning with an A/F gauge is a good recipe for broken ring lands

 

any turbonetics products (very poor quailty and customer service)
chrome ic pipes
vortech missing link check valve (had to mod it so i would not get a cel)
no matter what summit says msd does not make a dist cap for a 6gen civic!!
