my 5 lug swap thread...*pics*

The adjustor works by tricking the EEC.


I dunno about you, but if i have a lot of expensive parts on my engine, i don't want my tune to be "tricked" at all.

For me, it's custom-burned dyno chip or nothing at all. Too much money invested to be trying to fool the car to gain 10HP.

 

[LaserSVT]

NO it does not add 20hp. I didn't buy it, I got it for FREE. You probably wouldn't notice it on a Dyno, but I've felt a bit of a difference.

What they tell the engine is a different position for the throttle:
Actual Adjustment
20% 40%
50% 70%
70% 100%
approximately...therefore, faster throttle response.

Sorry Ryan.

Huh, sounds legit to me then. Did you order the engine oil bypass kit? Why dirty up that expensive oil by running it through the motor.
I just ordered some cross drilled brake lines and a couple boost bars myself


Its a gimmik, it only is causeing your cars computer to realize the tps is out of range so the computer will compensate for that by changing its signal curve on the sensor. TPS will not gain hp, only change the way the car idles and how much fuel to add under different throttle points in relation to air and load.
Effectively you have only succeded in lowering your mileage.

TPS fooling resistors
ACT fooling resistors
EGR fooling resistors



Wow, we treat our cars like society views success in life - always looking for shortcuts.

Ryan, have you thought about painting the wheels gloss black?

yeah. but then it will blend into the tire and wheel and that would just be to much black i think. silver looks clean so i think ill just leave em like that.

 

[stykthyn]

paint em gunmetal. dark enough to not be so bright and not so dark that they will blend with the tires/paint.

they can stay silver for now. i like the silver.

 

[foxmustangman]

Okay. Like I said I got it for FREE. I wouldn't take a chance on $60 hoping it works. And my car isn't modded that much, so there isn't much it could hurt...for now.



Anyways. Back on track...I like the silver. They look good like that. If you go any darker it might not look good, but thats just a personal opininon.

I really don't think you're doing yourself any good with that adjustment unit thingy. Check out these links for some good info and clarification of some misconceptions:

Sorry for the derail, but I thought I'd shed some light.

I hope you get everything ironed out with the ticket, Ryan. I'd like to see this car on the road again!
