what kind of resistor is he selling? how many ohms?

not nessecarily.... if I replace a resistor under the hood for the turn signals witha smaller value resister it will blink quicker same with this replace a resistor for say the injector pack and it's possible to make them open up quickier or close slower dumping more fuel ... it's possible but I'd never recommend it and I doubt 20 HP

it might increase power a little but i dont see how 20hp can come from nowhere

its a small resistor from radio shack...a pack of 5 sells for 30 cents i beleive, (you are paying for an idea on ebay, u get the resistor, but you are really just paing for an idea, and instructions) Ill save you the money and tell you for free what all these people are selling...then u can decide weheather its worth trying...

what you do is plugg it into your intake air sensor plugg, in place of the actual sensor....The IAS works as a resistor: the colder the air in the intake tube the more resistance it creates, sending the signal to your ecu in turn adjusting your fuel flow and ignition timing(same thing a chip does)... when the resistor is in place it tricks your ecu into thinking there is ice cold air inside your intake tube... run 92+ octane (a must, let it get into the system) with it and your car will feel peppy all the time, just like when you first start it up in the morning...Top end is better too...some people may say its just a placebo, but ive seen lots of dyno graphs and ive seen it tested in magazeens allong time ago.... It works Ive tryed it, but I have removed it cuz of

A: Fuel milage decreaces

B: Nitrous Oxide... advanceing timing on No2 is a very bad thing...

Ill try and find out the particular resistor code your need if you feel like trying it...its compleately harmless trust me, it wont even through a check engin light...it takes less than 2 minuits to install or uninstall... I used to pull it out when traveling to save gas, its that easy...

Oh one other thing theres no such thing as miracles... 20hp is total bullshit expect 5-10hp and maybe throttle response...

Let the Flameing begin:P

i wont flame... i knew it would probably increase performance slightly... just not by 20 hp...

i might give it a try though just to see.... let me know if you find out which resistor to use

3.3K ohm 12W 5% Carbon Film Resistor pk5

Im pretty sure thats the one, ill verify it tomorow

That's the same trick JR uses in their charger setup but it's a little more elaborate than that.

And yes fuel milage goes down.

12W or 1/2W ?. and is there a difference between carbon, plate and cathode resistors ?.

is it 12 watt or 12 volt??

watt

ok radio shack does not carry resistors anymore... where else can they be found??

at active electronics.....

wow those are a dime a dozen ... I'd like to try it someday ... when I feel brave...


anyways do you have any specs on the resistance range of the sensor your speaking about

is there a difference between 2% and 5% tolerances ?.

one has a tolerance of 2% the other of 5%


hahaha


i went to 3 more radio shacks i had drove by today and two did carry some resistors just not the one i needed :mad:


jason: where can i find one of these active electronics

I wish i knew how to post a pic...I could show you a drawing of the resistor...they are colour coded...

ya i remember learning about resistors and there colours in school... can't remember if that was at mohawk or highschool :confused:

question of the day: where can i buy some resistors??

ok 2% and 5% tolerances are the percent range or difference there can be in the resistance the lower the percentage the better

victoria park and 2 lights south of steeles

well I cant post a pick of it... so ill explain..

the proper resistor I used has four colour lines on it...

Gold, red, orange, thicker orange..

in that order...also the resistor is a peachy, or beige colour... whether its a 3.3K ohm 12W 5% Carbon Film Resistor pk5
or not, im not 100% sure...

go by my colour code, it will be right 100% sure...

ok dude you got the resistor the wrong way around ...

correct (electronics engineering color code) would be:

orange (thickness is meaningless) orange red gold

3 3 x100 5%

reading that code says it's a 3.3Kohm 5% but I highly doubt the wattage ratting 12W resistors are in a white casing that disapates the heat created....and carbon film resistors are never that high in wattage so I'd recommend a 1/4 watt to a 1/2 watt should be find since current is not an issue ....
