Air Intake Sensor Mod

[bubz]

Hi,what is this intake sensor mod all about.This so called racing chips being sold on e-bay and on trademe now.Wot are the pros and cons of it?Does it really work?Just being curious about it.

It's an extreme mod where you put a resistor on the air intake temp sensor, tricking it to think the air is cold, so more fuel and more timing.

It's extremeeeeee!

Very Xtreme

Thanx,but does that help you go fast?Wot disadvantages will this have on the car.The actual air will still be of different temp. so how will more fuel help?

i'll be nice and say its bollocks.... useless.... and utter crap..... do a search for mods that gain REAL power on these forums

[MrOizo]

if you have a hori turbo setup... ie can afford turbo but nothing else, then this will help.

more air needs more fuel. NA ecu only knows up to atmosphere pressure.

this isnt ideal as fuel delivery is not proportional to air volume/density.

other than just being X-stream in theory - it also makes it sound mean by running like shit when you get too much / too little fuel. like a rotor... bop bop bop... bang!

Toyota put air temp sensors in for a reason, because different air temperatures have different densities. This, along with the pressure sensed from the MAP sensor will let your ECU calculate that nominal air to fuel ratio and stop your engine from overfueling or leaning out.

It won't help you go fast, but it will help you go slow

You will run rich and cause more problems that gains.

You will use more fuel with no increase in power

yep then if u run rich for 2 long, gud by bottum end, as my mate jst found out with his blacktop

Thanx guys.I thought so it was crap
