20hp for just an intake sensor mod?

that is what they claims. and that is very cheap. too cheap to believe.
just type keyword "rx7", and you should get 3 or 4 autions like that.

Do a search in here for "ebay mod" and you should get plenty of info. Been talked to death about. Want the conclusion? Node already gave it to you.

I hate to tell you guys but this mod is real.. My MP3 has this mod from Racing Beat I talked with Jim Langers for some time about my MP3 and what was done to it.


They got 10 HP to the wheels with this mod that tells the air temp sensor it is cooler that it really is and increases the timing advance and adds fuel..


I am not saying this is the same thing, but this idea is being placed on new cars and backed by factory warranty.

I like this little adage in cases like this:

If it sounds to good to be true, it most likely is.

Won't work on the FC. Don't waste your time. May work on other cars, but if that's the case then those cars probably aren't worth modding.

Don't waste your time. It's not even worth $5.

hi, guys, I just read the comments from those people who bought the kit. according to them, that kit is just a stupid resistor which radioshack sells for less than 99 cents. I guess the whole idea to to have AFM to send incorrect signal to ecu by adding the resistance. many complaints, and many praises too. don't know it is worth to try, even though it not costing too much.

just watch out, guys

Funny thing is, Radio Shack overprices the resistors by about 97 cents. I buy resistors all day long for 2 cents a piece...

Adding fuel will result in less power, not more. No car maker would ever warrantee a hack to their car's EFI.

GLHS

And you have proof of your claims?


I am not going to waste to prove whats on my car, its not the same as what is being discussed here. I suggest you grow up some.

Do you even know what a MP3 is?

This is America bud and this is common.. Ever heard of Calloway? He is modding the new MP3 MazdaSpeed Turbo. Please do more reasearch before you come and blow off. Its comes with factory warranty.. Turbo ...

GLHS

Yes I own the 45th car built. You should see it. I am showing the car with the club @ Z Hills.

Maybe your friend wants to join and go to the Hills show?

Drop me a line sometime.

Hes already going, he got some othre proteges going. He knows like one more guy with an MP3, and a few Protege5's and sedans too. They aren't hardcore racing guys, just people that love their cars.

GLHS

Is the MP3 modded out like mine is? I was hoping to have the only one there.. ****.. oh well. I should place good, I have DVD and PS2 and Xbox in my MP3..

GLHS

Do you know if the MP3 was wrecked? I seen this one and he said he wrecked it already and fixed it.

lost cause

According to this the MP3 and Mazdaspeed Protege are two different vehicles. Hmmm.... Think about

GLHS

You didn't know that?

lost cause

I know what I am talking about do you?

GLHS

I think you missed the point..of the post..

NZConvertible

I didn't make any claims, I stated facts. So why even bring it up? Not sure what that's all about, but whatever... A tarted up Protege. It was sold here in 3-door form as the Mazda 323 SP20. So we install affordable aftermarket programmable EFI while you use resistor hacks on the coolant sensor. Lucky you. Of course I've heard of Calloway. I seriously doubt someone with his standing and experience would waste his time with such crude tuning methods, particularly with a factory-supported project.
