HMMM... that makes it a rather practical tool... are the power gains that noticable?? in other words does the added power justify the added fuel consumption at racing mode??

If your drag racing it doesnt matter much in my opinion. If your doing road courses for say..only a 30 min race.. you dont want terrible gas milege.. less gas the less weight. with about a hour and a half on a road course i used just over a half tank usually.. on hot days. So even then its not a big deal

The power gains are noticable. It's nothing major, but for 10 bucks shipped, it's well worth it.

I havent personally seen one of these, but if you are concerned about fuel economy, then why not wire it up to a switch? Flip the switch when you want to pass, or are at the track, turn it off when you go for groceries with the wife and kids. :P

the choco chip hooks up into the AIT sensor. its a resistor not anything that needs to be plugged to a hot wire. its really easy to remove though so no real problem there.

I don't want to be a dick but removing your IAT and putting in a resistor could be dangerous. ( I'm assuming this is the "chip" your talking about)

Your car will think it's -20 degrees out all the time.... denser air requires more fuel.... so the "chip" simply makes your car run rich which isn't necissarily the path to more power.

Do you have dyno proof of power gains with this "chip"

I just get annoyed with the whole resistor to replace the IAT sensor thing.

There are much easier and safer methods of changing your air fuel ratio.

i concur with Erfinder... i hate things that fools the ECU in the hunt of more power, also their is no dyno charts to prove that but feedback from people i trust is as solid as a dyno chart... at least for me.

i also know Chris - daewootech.net - owner and i am sure he won't be selling crap to rip your money off, so basicly i am sure the thing does work and make the car faster... the point is "how does it do that?" and that is what i don't like about it.

Yes, got it from Chris.

The thing seriously works and is designed only for a Lanos (not these cheap universal chips they sell on eBay that is pure crap).

Do they supply these chips made for Nexia's? I was about to get one the other day until i read this. I don't want a universal one.

hey you can connect your chip in parallel with the sensor & control it by mean of switches . it is simple & it will provid you a ( sport mode ) button in your control panel
is it a great idea?!

i was thinking of that too... a sport mod where the chip is engaged and a normal mode where the sensor is engaged so you can control your performance and fuel consumption.
