Performance Chip or Rip off???

[MoeStylez]

Hey guys im a new yaris owner. Unfortunately my car is already in the shop but anyways i was wonderin if any of u guys got a performance chip from ebay that "add up to 36 HP". Obviously its not gonna give ya 36 hp but i was wonderin if its worth the 8 bucks or will it just mess up my engine? Any info on that would greatly be appreciated...

Hi, this product is a money wasted. this is a resistor what deceive the car computer, but the computer adjust this with time.. :tongue:

[Lafiro]

haahahahhahahhaahhaah you guys make me laugh so much...

it does nothing for your car but cause the engine to probably overheat more then it has to ;)

[pathetiq]

ya might add a couple of hp for a short period of time after what... you might blow up your engine or anything great ... lol

it just block the motherboard to react to certain change, its only a transistor (i think) the electronic stuff that block a signal... :thumbdown:

For future reference, its always a good idea to use the search feature on these forums before posting any question. The reason you got razzed a little is because you're about the 7,000th person to ask about these chips, but you're new and that will happen. Think nothing of it. Welcome. :biggrin:

[eTiMaGo]

Oh and remember, "Up to 36HP" also includes 0HP....

[Razr]

Just read the sellers feedback LOL..

"didn't recieve a modual but i did recieve a tiny resistor not worth $9 maybe 5c"

"what you sold was a 33K ohm resistor not a chip"

"$15 with shipping for a 29cent radioshack resistor oh well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The way I figure it, the guy has sold > 1000 of these resistors at an average of $15 incl shipping. Product + shipping cost couldn't be more than a dollar, so he's made > $140,000. Holy fark! Crime does pay LOL.

[eTiMaGo]

ah well, what's that old saying? There's a sucker born every minute? Here we have proof! :biggrin:

[Yaris Revenge]

+1 on Chino's welcome and explanation. :biggrin:

Scam is back!

[MoeStylez]

Thx to all the people that actually gave me some useful advice.

[Treyz]

its a resitor which you can get at Radio Shack. I wouldnt recommend it at all. Though there is a seller on ebay (dont remember the full user name) that sells a performance chip that actually works. Uses the base program that Jim Wolf Technologies and others of the like use. It's programed to remap the ECU to your modifications. I have one in my 240SX. The only thing is that you have to install it yourself. I'm decently good with a soldering gun so I put it in and bumped me up a little.

Total cost after the chip and daughterboard .. $80

Only thing is that I dunno if they make it for the Yaris.

some of you guys act like supreme hardasses and all-knowing..LAME!!! just answer peoples question or direct them in the right spot.. or better yet... say nothing at all.. they'll figure it out on ther instead of you guys acting like a bunch knuckleheads... geez

Why bump a thread you don't like? :confused:
Besides, most members involved aren't even regulars anymore, so your complaint is likely falling on deaf ears (so to speak)...

YW record for longest thread bump interval - 3 yrs 4 months!
(Now someone's gonna dig real deep and bump an even older one...)

I don't think a chip would really work on our ecu's since they are adapting/learning.

Soldering another chip in would, but what's the point?

I know Audi's have the option of sending off your ECU to be tuned/remapped and has really cool features like valet mode but remember - those cars have turbos stock (1.8t, 2.0t, etc). So there is way more opportunity for more HP.

Just go stand-alone or get a piggy if u want to do it right.

And if you aren't boosted what's the point? ESPECIALLY with the 1NZFE. whp is like, what, 80 or 90hp?

dont tempt me to waste the time to bump up the first thread.

You're saying this about 3 year old posts? LOL.

Here is my article on the "performance chip":

Coming from Mr. I've only posted 5 times. You want to read the date on a thread before you make a remark to it.

This is also your issue with your turbo questions. You don't take the time to look and read or even think of asking what your saying.

This thread is 3 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude for F_(ks-sake please read and school your self a little bit.
