When i first asked about that chip/resitor thingy that goes on to the air temp sensor, which makes the engine read that its getting colder air and thus dump more fuel in to the chambers, i was told that it was unsafe.
However it has recently been brought to my attention that if the the sensor chip thingy tricks the engine into thinking its getting colder air then what would be the problem if i use it while running a CAI system? I ask this question because my temp sensor off the airbox is currently just sitting in my engine bay and reading probably hotter temps then what it read even with the stock airbox. So should i just relocate the sensor to a colder place or use the chip/resistor thingy? I also couldnt find it on ebay is there a how to? |

chip = retarded if you just dump more fuel in it doesn't add power
you have to understand power is best made with a AIR:FUEL balance you need the best amount for the temperature and such variables just dumping in more gas is stupid waste of your money NOW a CAI will not empty your tank faster that is a bad statement the purpose of a CAI is to bring in cold air(dur) this is a more dense and oxygen rich air then hot air. when the cold air enters the chamber it has more molecules allowing more of the injected fuel to burn more completely and more EFFECIENTLY the goal is to get 100% fuel burn which most likely will never achieve..a CAI INCREASES your gas milage because you engine runs better...otherwise why would people do it?? and the temp sensor be a smart idiot and put it back in the box or you need to put it in your intake tubing |
