What is this guy claiming to sell? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

.Woody · 01-04-2013, 01:47 AM

Was browsing FR-S parts on ebay and ran into this "chip" that claims to drastically improve horsepower and fuel economy...for 9 dollars...and people are claiming it works (in the sellers feedback).

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PERFORMANCE-...61293c&vxp=mtr

I'm just curious as to what this guy is actually selling and what it does to your car.

50hp and making our cars get pruis milage. 9 dollars you say? yep. this is legit.

What's that old PT Barnum quote again???

Its true! I bought this for $9.99 and made my money back before my first tank full!

It truly is a miracle. If Toyota hired this guy they would make billions but they're stupid so they don't

"There's a sucker born every minute"

To be clear, I know it's garbage. I just want to know what it is/does and why people think it's working for them.

I installed 3 resistors in my ass and now I can take power dumps 3x faster. Problem is my toilet cannot handle the force and I need carbon ceramic pipes.

What a pity that even though he is the world's greatest engineer, he can't spell the word believe (beleive).
Also I see in the text the gains drop to 45hp (would still be happy with that though)!
Oh well will have to see it to beleive it.

From what I've read, it's a resistor that's supposed to tell the ECU that the air temp is lower than it really is so the ECU advances timing and leans out the afr...

Ur shitting me... I don't give 3 shits if the thing gave me 100hp+ rubbed my balls while driving... I wouldn't plug ANYTHING into my car other than a performance shop doing a tune for me because I paid them to do it and got a receipt and they had a proper QAP in place should they tear my shit up due to whatever reason... screw that.

All his claims are "Up to"...as in, from ZERO to 50hp...I'm guessing it'll be closer to zero...
