Default old school way to make a few horse power

this is a trick that is very old school,yet new to some.all it is taking your coolant temp sensor and disconect the plug from the sensor ,dont remove the sensor from the block..find another coolant temp sensor and plug it in to the plug,u can try to reroute it from any heat so the sensor does not contact heat..all this does is fool the ecu in thinking that the car is cool and it will richin up the air fuel mixture...

Alot of Mustang guys do this they reroute it into there fender well so there is always cold air hitting it

no no the ebay Resistor that fools youre ECU into thikin the air is real cold.

But on a side note the coolent temp thing isn't a good idea. You will be in safe mode, and have no VTEC, plus you rev limit will be lower.

So just buy some camshafts if you want a cheap way to make more power.

Well this "mod" is for people who aren't really car savvy anyway, so feel free to do this if you are going to face darwin's reality one day.

the goal in tuning is to run as close to the edge as possible without blowing the car up, making your car run rich is the opposite of what you want to do.

That's pretty ghey, but I've heard worse.

When I was working at the honda dealer ship, a guy (grown man) came in and asked if we could remove the rubber bump stop on his gas pedal so he could push it down farther.
I was speechless.

There is a club? - sign me up.

Is clubSI down again?
