read his feed back.... i did... do some research. it is a resistor inside a black box

the resistor wores somehow to your air flo thing in your intake. its called the amf right? anyway.

his claims : "it makes your ecu see colder air temp so your ecu adds more fuel to compensate for the extra air density."
If im not mistaken... a rich condition will "bogg" your car, make it run like crap, and kill your MPG at the same time... holy hell! Buy it fast it does all kinds of stuff!

In his feedback there are a few neutral and negative replys... they say "the box was empty it just had 2 wires taped together, made my car bog, and it is a ripoff." the guy replyed with, if you install it wrong or put it on the wrong application it will bog.
That it is not empty, there is a resistor in side the box its not just 2 wires taped.

ok so its a:
$1 radio shack box..
$.50 radio shack resistor

for the low low price of 19.95! ya know they should sell this on tv! Then it would have to be true!

On a side note I got a remapped chip from ebay and will never check to see if it works... i thought hell its only $20... but after it came he replyed to my email asking if... who made it? How will it change the fuel curves and timing curve... he said he made it and it will increase the power of my car 20 hp.

ummm in other words he didnt answer any of my questions, so im not gonna put it in... ever!
Buying things that are nonadjustable and no brand name for a super deal on ebay is fishy.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

Heh.. I have a good webpage about this somewhere...
Here it is:
http://www.installuniversity.com/ins...ricker_mod.htm

BTW: IMHO I wound *never* consider putting this on any of my cars. for that matter if K&N ever made somethign this freaking stupid, I would never consider using their parts again. This reeks of "a sucker is born ever minute." Makes me want to yell vigilantism!!! and beat somebody who is trying to steal your money!. Augh, the one downfall of Ameri... oh nevermind.

For the people who take advantage of the ignorant: NEVER meet me, I will hurt you.
For the ignorant: Read a book, or ask on rx7club.com. We won't flame (well, not usually)...
