My buddy told me this was a good 7 dollars to spend but i dont know about this one. could someone tell me a little more about this contraption? He wants me to get it but i dont know why he's rushing it.

Its hard to say. Someone on this forum could buy it then tell us if its legit.
you won't notice one bit of difference in performance. but you will tend to lose about 1mpg.

they are a waste fo teh 7 dollars. I speak from expierence. all it is a 30 cent resistor that you can pick up at radio shack.
useing a resistance value of 3800 ohms to override the sensor and signal the computer that it is receiving air at an optimal temperature of 56 degrees.

THIS PERFORMANCE MOD WILL CONNECT TO THE CARS INTAKE STSTEMS IAT SENSOR. ONCE THE MOD IS INSTALLED, THE SENSOR WILL READ A DIFFERENT AIR TEMPERATURE THEN WHAT IS REALLY COMING IN. ONCE THIS GETS RELAYED BACK TO THE ECU IT WILL ADD MORE AIR AND FUEL TO THE CAR, GIVING IT THAT EXTRA HORSEPOWER AND TORQUE THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.

ya so not only is it going to tell you that your car is running cooler but when it overheats are you going to know? why would you want to run your car that hard anyway just wait and yes right now JET chip is the only one that is out right now and it sucks. dont buy it wait alittle while longer something will come out. but yes losing gas also cause it will mess with your fuel to air ratio. so expect to get that $7 taken out of your take in gas after installing it.

i say this cause i want people to buy smart. buying stuff like that is not worth it.

do real mods yes it costs money but its better than buying something that is $7 and could cost you $1000 or more to fix

This is just a little thing from personal experience, but on some cars, the resistor is a viable option.


Depending on what your ECU sees, you can put a resistor on the intake air temp sensor. I'm pretty sure this does different things for different cars, but on a ZX2, the IAT controls spark timing. So if you put a resistor on, it will add a few degrees of ignition advance. I'm talking around 5.56kohms of resistance.

It doesn't add fuel, just timing. I don't know what type of flow meters the G6 uses though, so it could be different.
I put one on my Dakota R/T a few years ago and did have a small power gain but also had a more noticeable drop in fuel mileage.
