hmmmm looks interesting but I don't trust these cheap horsepower gimmicks sold thru ads in magazines and ebay.

If they were legit, I think they coulda found a legit outlet in which to distribute their stuff.

italiandud

^^^^^ Completely agree. Just curious if any of you guys had experience with these kind of products.

Unless you like to test it out for us.. , but I agree with nabbun.

It's crap. It fools your ECM by sending fake sensor readings. It's basically just lying to your engine about the amount of air it's getting.

man. I really hope some smart guys get together and try to create something for the 250. It needs a cheap power mod instead of a 9k turbo mod.

hahahah yea.... Kurtz hit the nail on the head. Its not really even an ECU chip or anything. Its actually just a resistor you put in circuit with your ECU that essentially changes the readings and yea, tricks your ECU into thinking you are getting more air than it actually is, so it'll use more fuel to keep the mixture from being too lean. Eventually you will just end up running really rich, and essentially wasting gas. I wouldn't trust this crap on a 92 civic let alone an IS.

man. Well most cars have good reliable chips but the problem with our cars is that lexus is extremely smart and makes the ECU code very hard to crack... Somebody waste your time and crack the code and make a cheap chip please!!!
