i came across this computer for the p5 that can modify the fuel /air ratio and bump hp up to 20 hp.. i emailed the company and they said they've noted and would expect an increase of 8- 9 hp.. check the link out.. i would like to know if anybody has used this .. it is super cheap at 40 american for the stage one and 80 for the stage two.. increase hp and torque.. seems to inexpensive to be true.. is said to compete with the jet v chip and others, but at way less cost.. a friend of mine says this would void warranty, but if the ecu was reset it would erase fuel/air change history... the dealer would also be suspicious if it was reset.. but theoretically, if i pull the battery out and let it sit (for the winter) the ecu would reset anyway, wouldn't it? maybe this would get around the warranty void problem.. any comments.. mybe its bs, but worth a look at..

i originally seen it on ebay, then went the website of the manufacturer and email a few times back and forth with a rep from the company.. opionions welcome.. seems to good and cheap to be true.

 

It's nothing more than a resistor in a box. It is worth 1/10th it's cost, and will cause your check engine light to come on in cold weather.

 

I don't believe that BS...
if we can gain 20 hp from that thing then why would ppl buy turbo?

 

no, its not a resistor, please check out the link i provided.. i know about the radio shack resistor bs on ebay.. take a look a the website and then reply.

 

I LOOKED AT IT. AGAIN.

Go buy it, then remove your genitals so you can't breed.

 

First thing I have to say is to nate0123: I don't plan on breeding anyhow so leave my genitals alone. I installed one (got it for dirt) and it wasn't worth it. All it did was shoot my gas milage to ****. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR $. A 20 HP gain is a rediculous claim for just altering the electronics. If you want HP go for a CAI, bigger exhaust, turbo, NOS, cams or bored out cylinders. Don't bother with ANY of these air flow/fuel mixture gimmics - the ECU will compensate for most changes anyway.

 

I don't recall saying anything about your genitals, Gavin.

EDIT: lol, I'm not a breeder either.

 

i agree..... azn's think alike

 

My friend bought it and it did NOTHING for his Miata, no Zoom Zoom in that chip..

 

First of all, Those things are NOT "new". People have been slinging those things for months or even years. He just changed the name of it.

A few months ago, I bought one of these things, then thought about what I was about to do, and never installed it. Thank God!
Here's the e-mail I got today...


" I am about to start a lawsuit with the seller of this "module". It is
a
simple .05 cent resistor and it cost me $600 in damages. Please, if you
had
a problem or were dissatisfied with the part, or the module ruined your
computers, email me @ llamathan@yahoo.com so we can get our money back."

Don't put that POS in your car! It'll come back to haunt you...


Check it out, the same thing for $2.99...

I'd spend the $40 on a new ebay intake. At least it won't ruin your new car...

 

if you have a 3rg gen protege. it wouldn't work anyways b/c of our ecu. at WOT are ECU has its own presets that OVERRIDE anything that is feeding it.

 

Another good point that has been pounded into our heads by THE MAN and PseudoRealityX
