Vad tror ni om detta:

Man har det hemma inkl.frakt för ca. 220:-

Enligt firman är det samma chip årsmodell 1990 - 2007.

Jag ställde en fråga om det verkligen kan stämma, fick detta svar:

Thank you for your email inquiry. Yes, the Rapid Velocity Performance Module is compatible with the both engines that you are inquiring about as long as the engine is Not Turbo, Diesel and or Supercharged. The Rapid Velocity Performance Module is installed to the existing wiring harness of your IAT or Intake Air Temp Sensor. We provide the installation instructions with each kit. It was designed to be a plug and play application. You will actually splice into your vehicle's IAT sensor using the scotchloks provided and directly plug in the Performance Module. Please locate your vehicle's IAT sensor prior to purchasing. Please remember to include your vehicle's make, model and year upon submitting payment, as this is the information we pay attention to upon shipping out the Kit. We hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to email us...we are here to help.

Surfade runt lite för a se vad som skrivs och det verkar inte vara något att ha. Det här är vad som skrivs till exempel.

"Totally stupid, its a 35 cent resistor that us supposed to trick the computer into adding timing or fuel. Total BS.

Ja det låter ju onekligen märkligt, men av 474 sålda så är det endast 10 som har klagat, resten har gett positiv feeback!?

Det verkar som varenda forum på Internet har en del att säga om den här "produkten". Det här saxade jag på ett Amerikanskt Ford Aspire (en Kia med Mazda motor enligt en artikel på Wikipedia) forum:

We are not stuck up or anything like that. It's just due to the lack of performance parts being available for the festiva/aspires we get at least one person a week that asks about the resistor boxes like the one you have. I guess we are just tired of answering the same question. Can they be beneficial? Yes. Are they worth $30? NO. Will you get 20 HP? HELL NO. A simple bump in ignition timing is only worth a FEW HP. Your not going to get a 1/3 of the engines rated capacity from a ignition bump. Your 'device' contains a 20 cent resistor in it. Crack yours open and find out. Chances are it was bought off of ebay and the guy makes them on his desk at his house blink.gif . It connects inline with your intake air temp sensor. The idea is simple, the computer knows that warm air is BAD for performance and it creates knock (warm air)if there is too much ignition advance with warm air. So when the air temp sensor reads warm air it dials back ignition timing to save the engine. When the intake air is COLD it advances ignition timing to make more power. Colder air is more dense and will allow more ignition advance without creating spark knock. This in turn makes more power. The resistor tells the computer it has cold air going into it ALL the time. This is good if you know it is going to be cold out and you want the ignition advanced. Bad if it is warm or even HOT out as having this extra ignition advance CAN and probably WILL destroy your engine fordaspire/angryfire.gif . The problem with advancing your ignition this way is that it is advancing timing without reguard to air conditions(your just forcing it to stay advanced). A better way to do it and do it for free is to grab a timing light and dial in a few extra degrees of timing. The computer will still retard timing when the intake air is warm and advance it when it is cold. This is a MUCH SAFER way of doing it. The result of the way you are doing it will be asking yourself 'Was the extra 1 hp worth the melted pistons?' - You decide.
