Ok so im a gurlie gurl and I need help. I bout a chip that goes in my IAT sensor. And of course I have no idea where that is located.Help Plzeee

[duckmonk]

whats the chip for if its for added hp I wouldnt put it in I have heard some bad stuff about those and heard they never work

[Krdshrk]

Any "chip" that will supposedly add horsepower and/or mileage will not work. Don't waste your money.

very simple, throw it away!!

yeah right in the trash can...all it does is fool ur ECU that u are gettin a certian signal (which is fake)or resistance level from the IAT so it will mess somethin up in the long run and is junk!!!!!

I'm pretty sure the tC doesn't have an IAT sensor - turns out they're totally useless.

I admit it - I put one on my 95 accord...and it did nothing.

i believe the iat is combined with the maf. and that "chip" which is actually just a resistor doesnt do anything. it may work if you put it in, then run your car down the dragstrip right away. but the ecu will learn that the iat is malfunctioning and compensate for it, rendering the "chip" useless.

now if someone came up with a way to tap that resistor into the existing iat wire, that may work. the hemi guys call that a "power wire".

Well thx guys. Glad I didnt spend my money on it! HaHa!! So really its no good? What would you do then? Cuz this is the thing my boyfriend also has a tc its 5spd and he has cold air intake and I want something sneeky that will help my car keep up with his. :up:

its not that easy to keep up with a 5spd if youre auto. i was able to beat them with a 50shot and an intake. other than that, theres not much you can do. theyre a lot faster than autos.

[tCfrk86]

This is very true, but you dont just need a 50 shot, i have an auto and i can keep up with, sometimes even beat, my buddy who was a 5sp. with just header, intake, and exhaust, plus i do the really bad no no of "shifting" first through drive in 6000 rpm intervals. But sneaky, there is no such thing to get those kind of gains.

[Faith]

Lol yea very true this is what i love bout my car he gets off the line faster then me but i have no prob. keepin up with him :banana:

[JoshCrane1]

a wet 25 shot would be sneaky. you can hide the lines and a small 5lb bottle. it would be great, cuz you can beat him barely everytime and he'll think his car is getting slower lol.

I would rather my car be all engine. I honestly dont think I could handle a shot. What bout a header?
