performance chip!!

[superfly78209]

ok.. i know what you all say about ebay performance chips.. but I was reading this..
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/A-PERFORMANCE-CHIP-TOYOTA-YARIS-2007-2009-BEST_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1419Q7c66Q3a 1Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a0Q7c293Q 3a1Q7c294Q3a25QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZite m260324996675QQitemZ260324996675QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ 5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Then I thought.. hmm.. let me look at his feedback score... wow.. no negatives.. let me read the feedbacks

"really works"
"amazing"
etc. etc.

So then I read 30 day money back guarantee..

Now I'm wondering. This has to work.. is it bad for your engine and how does it actually work? What do you all think?

[ztrack157]

I have magic fairy dust That will help you reach 200mph in 6 seconds for $30.00. I also have perfect feedback on ebay as well.

[superfly78209]

.. dont be sarcastic.. im not a gullible person.. dude.. your not being smart.. if you think 250 people bought this product and say it didnt work... he has 100 percent feedback.. NO ONE thought it was a bad deal.. im sure some car enthusiasts bought some of them for the heck of it.. or there had to even be one skeptic.. but no.. nothing.

[ztrack157]

um I can easily sell myself 200 of my own products. Feedback scores don't mean jack. These things do not work. Save your money.

".. dont be sarcastic.. im not a gullible person.. dude.. your not being smart."

And yes my friend your are. Read what you wrote in your first post. If your so sure it will work then buy it, then find out it doesn't work and then get your refund. If it works I will promptly crap my pants and apologize.

[superfly78209]

well.. i mean for a 30 day money back guarantee.. why not? i dont want to risk hurting my engine.. i heard a lot of those chips lie to your ecu and give different readings then are present.. such as air temp and etc. otherwise i would go for it.

[superfly78209]

i was j/w if anyone knew what the chips actually "do" if they "do" much at all.. and apparently they do something.. just dont know what it is.

[ztrack157]

Our ECU is extremely hard to crack and no one has manage to have success with it. With a learning ECU even if there was a change the ECU would work its way around said chip if it were to work in the first place.

Item as described just didn't work for me.

And we know he's a fast shipper, i would check into it some more bro, wait a few days after installing so you can give him a fair rating on the product, and if you do try to return it see how he does with the refund, the posting looks kinda shady cause he refers to the " auction listed above" vs a specific model in the actual product description.

[cali yaris]

I can't stand it -- I'm going to buy one of these just to be able to prove it doesn't do anything.

I need all of these:

Lengthens the life or your engine belts by reducing RPM's

higher top speed

help your vehicle to pass smog and emissions regulations

[1NZYaris1]

If this is the same as what they normally are !
it is only a diode that is placed between twoo wires ,
and it tricks the ecu into thinking engine is cold ,
resulting in higher fuel burn hence more hp.
something like that anyway.:laugh:

[_S7V7N_]

Lol Cali, see if he gives ya a refund when you tell him it's a hoax.

quote " engineered specifically for all years of the auction vehicle in title" quote he don't even specify. it's a magic chip .

[cali yaris]

you will not need to use premium fuel, although it does help our chip work even better

OK, so.... do we have an engineer on here that can open it up and analyze the circuit? Just for fun?

[cali yaris]

umm.... I FRIGGING BOUGHT THE DAMN THING :evil:


YouTube vids forthcoming, folks....

[_S7V7N_]

your yaris ain't gonna know how to act now ;)

[ztrack157]

I'm getting an engineering degree.

[ztrack157]

1NZ is correct they are principally a diode that tricks the ECU. However will not trick ours? Garm I'd say open it and take pictures for me but then no refund. Honestly I think this one is just a loop that goes into place maintaining the circuit without doing a damn thing.

[1NZYaris1]

or you could pull it apart and make them your self to sell to others :laugh::laugh::laugh::burnrubber::help:

Ok sweet Garm is the man after all. Even though hes a vendor he needs moderator status he is a guru.

[richardholdener]

Hows this for an offer-you get your car and this magic product to either of the dynos (here in Vegas or in palmdale0 and I will test this for free. We can monitor the air/fuel and timing values before and after and see what it does-if anything. That way there is no speculation. I don't want to hear it felt better-I want real data. Let me know Cali.

[ztrack157]

Thanks Richard. Let the myth be cracked. Now if you'd only sell me one of the prototype intakes. :)

[mikenacarato]

you want a placebo to take with this too? these modules are all bs..every last one of them (not talking about real engine management systems and such though)

and please spare me the "oh and you know this from experience?" part. i DO know from experience.

[Loren]

There is no "circuit", it's just a resistor in a fancy box. It is installed inline with the intake air temp sensor and causes the ECU to read the temperature as lower than actual. Since cooler air is more dense, this makes the ECU "see" that more air has gone into the cylinder and it injects more fuel. A slightly richer mixture can give more power under some circumstances. But, this only happens at full-throttle or during warm-up when the ECU is not in closed-loop operation. In closed loop, O2 sensor feedback will correct the error induced by the faulty temp data.

So, it "might" give you slightly more power when you get on it, but there's no way it's going to improve fuel economy.

That's all there is to it.

[richardholdener]

Altering the IAT value to show colder inlet air temp can also increase ignition timing.

[nemelek]

Unless it is a company like Edge or Banks making these chips, I wouldn't put much value on their claims. Sometimes even a chip mod will make you become your own warrantee. Toyota might deny claims.

[Loren]

Good point, Richard.

[Treyz]

Looking at the dyno sheet numbers, they don't even touch 100+ HP gains. Basically, people that don't know much about cars or are noobs at tuning go ahead and buy these so called products. As mentioned before, the ECU on our cars are tough to crack hence why there is no eprom upgrade and you need a piggyback system (i.e. AEM, Greddy, etc).

[mikenacarato]

i read the auction and the only thing i agree with is the first sentence of the second Q and A question...you get what you pay for...

[cali yaris]

Basically, people that don't know much about cars or are noobs at tuning go ahead and buy these so called products.

LOL, I resemble that remark, seeing that I just bought one.

[mikenacarato]

well at least you know what your doing garm. im sure you got it to prove to everyone that they wont work. :)

btw i just got something from your store.

[shomesta]

i good point. I just paid your invoice for df210's that i bought. can you pls advise me when you will ship? thanks!

[nsmitchell]

This looks like an interesting and entertaining thread... I can't wait for the pics!

[justjesus]

umm.... I FRIGGING BOUGHT THE DAMN THING :evil:

WOW, thanks for stepping up on this one!

Leaving my car to Richard for prototyping intake manifolds, I can do. Trying out some who-knows-what chip from ebay, I'd be worried as heck.

[cali yaris]

what a strange place to post that. Your PM is answered and your springs shipped today.

OK, so.... do we have an engineer on here that can open it up and analyze the circuit? Just for fun?

I just noticed this thread. I'm an Electrical Engineer, so I can do the analysis if you'd like (that is if there's anything more than a resistor or diode to look at)...

[YarisSedan]

Wow I want a extra 100 horsepower and 30 percent increase in gas milage.

AND i wont have to change my oil as much and will make my transmission smoother shifting. I mean is there anything this little chip cant do?

[nsmitchell]

It also adds 4 more cylinders and a turbo!

well, I'd like to see if it can make a decent latte. :rolleyes:

haha I can't wait.. tell me how it goes.

So did the chip give u awesomeness power yet?

[Sodium Duck]

He must not have written back because when he installed it, it was all like, Back to the Future, and now he's lost in another time period!

Just in time for Christmas. Make sure not to floor it or you might wind up in a ditch, or speeding tickets out the wazoo! Be careful!

[cali yaris]

Make sure not to floor it or you might wind up in a ditch, or speeding tickets out the wazoo!

haha, that's true WITHOUT the chip!

I haven't played with it yet, got a dinner party to throw tonight, gotta clean the house. :frown:

[cali yaris]

First thing to point out is that it comes with bare wires, they make it look like "plug 'n play". it isn't. So I'll have to tap into my wiring to try and use this. Hmmmph.

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq115/techhelp1000/chip.jpg

[Sodium Duck]

uhhhmmmm..... lol

[at3GG]

booo!!! they wont mind lol

[Treyz]

In the auction, the picture shown (above) has the quick connects on it as well so you know it's a wire tap. I think its the MAF wires you tap into if I'm not mstaken lol.

[mastaofdisasta]

omg garm hurry up and give use the results >< ill buy them. but only if it gives you 20hp anything less is just unnacceptable. XD

[mikenacarato]

results?

[bearda]

What do the install instructions look like? Same old two-wire IAT BS?

This is the one that piques my curiosity:
http://yhst-19807630266082.stores.yahoo.net/

I'm seen these on and off, and I'm 100% sure they're fake. They throw around a lot of fancy terms, but it seems like what they're claiming to do just isn't possible (the map never gets sent over the OBD-II port, so how is it being overridden?). Still, it's the most sophisticated fake I've seen yet and I kind of want to dump the ROM on it just to see what it IS doing....

[Crossbow]

It should be noted, that in this day and age, car manufacturers are erroring on the side of "rich" fuel mixtures to meet EPA2 regulations for emissions. Because of this, any additional increase in fuel mixture will tend to reduce power, decrease mileage, and cause various drivability issues (especially in lower rpm's, hesitation, bogging), as well as covering the back of your car in soot.

Most of your power gains in EPA2 vehicles are from LEANING your fuel mixtures out, not richening them. (Of course a bit of fuel added around the torque peak tends to help a bit).

Now looking at the yaris dyno's, it looks like the average person is running around a 12:1 around redline. Could probably lean that out to 12.5:1 or even 13:1 for additional power. Most people will agree richening that to a 11.5 or 11:1 isn't going to get you any ponies! (But at least your A/F isn't a mazda 9.7:1 Ratio!!!).

I wouldn't be surprised if most of the header/exhaust/intake dyno power gains are just from adjusting your A/F, and are only partially effected by flow. (Flow mods tend to lean out the A/F)

[cali yaris]

Haven't installed it yet, I'm going to wait until we can dyno before/after. As long as I'm doing this, might as well debunk it thoroughly.

[at3GG]

haha this is actually way TOO interesting. It shouldnt be but dammit it is!

[*MAD DOG*]

Watching with interest. There are plenty of people in Australia (not me) who have installed these "chips" in their V6's and V8's and swear that they give the car more power and better fuel economy. Over here you can buy Power gain chips, economy gain chips, reg fuel chips, premium fuel chips and the list goes on.

I've always been skeptical about these chips as they probably void warranty and maybe even car insurance (if you install you need to tell your insurance everything).

[mickymouse]

but these aren't even chips :-(

If they really would be chips.. somehting could happen... but this way

[nsmitchell]

The suspense is killing me! Seriously!!!

[nsmitchell]

Hello... Cali Yaris... are you there? :iono:

[Treyz]

Ahhh crap .. I forgot to ask him this when I talked to him earlier.

[superfly78209]

come on?! bros

[cali yaris]

hooked it up -- didn't do a damn thing.

I did NOT put it on a dyno yet, I'm not dyno-ing the car just for that. When we re-tune the car, I'll do a before and after to prove that it's crap.

After that, my Dremel and I are going to have us some fun...

[at3GG]

i know its says increased power..better mileage yada yada yada....does it ever says how it supposed to accomplish this anyway? lol

[cali yaris]

does it ever says how it supposed to accomplish this anyway?

no but the information has been posted in this thread :smile:

so how did ya install it? are you going to have to run new lead wires if you tapped, for when you remove it?

[cali yaris]

At this point, my stock wiring is all out of the car, so rigorous dyno testing of this may not be possible. I'll just leave it with "didn't do a thing for me". Yes, I tapped the wires to "install".

I'll take it apart when I get a few minutes -- with pics, of course.

That is hilarious. Do you want to go into production on these? We could get Thomas to get them made in Thailand Cheep Cheep. Call them "Mega Nitrous Booster Chips" and then have a second one called "Mega MPG Gain Chip"

For an 8 cent resistor and a 50 cent casing and 50 cents worth of wires for $20 US plus shipping we could make a fortune!
