lol a resistor - only thing that can do is stop the signal reaching the ecu as quick. hence i imagine you get more fuel dumped into engine.

youll prob blow your car up with it lol

not bad for a mod that really costs 20p

I don't know the values of it as I've not seen one, but I believe it fits on or near the ecu. It advances the timing a bit, but I can't see how that gives the claimed 5-20 bhp gains they claim.
One guy must be having problems shifting them and was on Ebay selling five for a fiver the other week.

Cobra where does this resistor go, what kind of resistor is it & does it do naff all then, they could get done for advertising something thats bollox

Actually, I think loads were sold initially, until people realised what they were buying.

I sent a cheaky email to one of them asking what the value of the resistor was and where to put it.

Never got a reply :P

I thought as much i'll send the tosser a load of feedback.

cheers lads

yeah its a con!

Its a 20p resistor that advances the timing, thats all.:(

don't buy one they are a con and don't work:thumbs:

I'm not sell them by the way there are advertised on e-bay.

Buy One Get One Free! ANY CAR MOD CHIP UPGRADE +5 - +20 BHP *Please read item description fully.* If you are anything less than satisfied with the purchase, I will refund the full cost of the item (minus postage costs) upon the original item being returned. Please do not bid unless you intend to pay. ................................................................................................................................................................................................ This item is a Resistor Chip that modifies the performance of most vehicles by tricking your ECU into injecting slightly more fuel/air mixture into the engine, and increasing the engine timing, thus increasing the power-speed of your vehicle. This modification will work on any NON-TURBO PETROL INJECTION engined cars that have an (IAT sensor) Intake Air Temperature sensor. (easily located) All vehicle models 1988 onwards. ................................................................................................................................................................................................ This modification is far less expensive than normal ECU upgrades, or even filter and exhaust mods, is simple to install, and can add up to 20+ BHP to your vehicle. * Just think 20+ BHP is a lot of power. * ................................................................................................................................................................................................ Easy to follow fitting instructions are included with the chip, allowing it to be fitted in minutes - No special tools or soldering required. It can just as easily be removed, as, and when, you want. The chip is fully street legal, will not affect your MOT / INSURANCE and will NOT damage your engine in any way! ................................................................................................................................................................................................
