There have been a few topics on this recently so far, from what I remember it just makes you use more fuel to cool your car hence a piece of crap

I was wondering, would this be any useful for a dyno day or drag day, just to see what it would do? We all know they pretty much trick the car into thinking its cold, thus using more fuel, but I wonder if you would actually see a decent gain?

I dont think the idea is to make your car use more fuel to cool it down, becasue the ecu is still in control of the air/fuel mix, it just overides the air intake temperature sensor so the ecu thinks its running cold air. its not actualy a 'mod chip' as such, its nothing more than a resistor, go to the electronics store and buy yourself one for $0.15 cents and test it, if it works bargain, if not its only 15c. I cant see any way it alone could damage your engine as it just gives the ecu a fake sensor reading. id be interested to hear if anyone has tried it though and if it does make any difference in performance.

I have tried and a bit more sophisticated version with IAT and ECT sensors intercepted with potentiometers.
It didn't work. |

Idiots will beleive whatever you tell them
Correct me if I'm wrong but making the ecu think the air is colder will mean it will add more fuel which will make the engine run even richer than it already does...? |
