Hey guys, does this look legit to you?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1

 

buy it and tell us.

 

lol

 

if i get a resister and advertise that it'll add +50hp to your car, would you buy it?

edit: damn grammar

you get what you pay for

 

Looks like it replaces the IAT sensor with a resistor. That means your ecu will not react to changing weather temperature. You might as well be carbuerated. Junk.

yeah i figured as much. if it really worked then we would all have it already and it would cost more money. just was curious to see what yall would say

don't knock the carburetors. mine is doing quite well on my truck.

As is my Edlebrock 4 barrel on my '70 Nova

 

nothing cheap ever gives you that much power. Cheapest is nitrous and even that costs a few hundred for power.

 

Yup, it's junk. It just makes your ECU think your intake temp is constant. It is probably set to a low temp to make the ECU add more fuel that what it really needs. The problem is that preludes run too rich at WOT as they are and adding more fuel just makes it worse and you loose power not gain it!

 

i like how they roll some electrical tape over the resistor to make it look better.

thats funny ****.

 

Without looking at it, I bet there's the phrase "up to..." in the description someplace. As in, "... adds up to 20hp." So, zero hp gain fits their discription and negates any responsibility or liability.

 

This kid at school ordered one and was claiming he could tell a difference in his DSM, He was showing it off in class and everyone was just laughing. I love the things some people come up with to rip people off.

 

hahahah Good story, I bet the kid at your school didnt even realise he'd ripped himself off lol.

Anyone remember the little strip of black rubber that used to be sold for cars to stop you getting a static shock from your car?

It was also supposed to help ground lightening if your car got struck lol
But the point is this was invented by an Italian who made millions from it, So many car companies used his 'idea' lol BUT in reality it didnt do jack!

There will always be people who are uninformed, or justplain stupd enough to buy into these products.

hehe
