morpheus Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I've actually seen more than one person do this modification in real life. The addition of the resistor to the intake air temp sensor tricks the ecu into thinking the outside air temperature is much lower than it actually is. Then the ecm opens the fuel injectors a little longer to allow more fuel in the system, and that's what they're claiming gives you 20HP increase. What they forget to tell you is that your oxygen sensor behind the motor will now tell the ecu that the engine's running too rich, and to shorten the injector cycle, essentially cancelling it's self out. End result? your out $7 for a resistor that costs 0.05c in the first place. Zero performance change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowTied Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Well just put a resistor on the O2 sensor too!! And this explains some bad feedback for the seller I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nytrosfinder Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 1-800-GM-CARES! LOL My friend did that... His truck was actually quicker... What kind of resistor is that? Like what level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSlowReliable Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 wouldn't this lower your MPG though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPathyGo Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I think that one's right up there with this gem... http://cgi.ebay.com/Nissan-Supercharger-Turbo-for-X-Trail-Navara-Maxima_W0QQitemZ370276739454QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item563636a97e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
