ok found this power wire mod from air ram -

has anyone done this , i dont understand where it goes or what it does, the thing i guess is that i guess it advances air/fuel ratio and make your truck think its 20 degrees cooler read the description in this page and tell me what you think

You are right it fakes the computer out. It just hooks between the IAT sensor and the IAT plug. I wouldnt spend $55 bucks. You can build one for max of like $5. All it is, is a resistor, terminals and a fancy casing. I forget the actual resistor ohms you want, but someone should chime in

 

Yeah, if you do an ebay search you will find literally hundreds to thousands of "intake mods +20hp". So you think you get a great deal and spend 10 bucks and a week later you get an envelope with a resistor in it that you plug into your IAT connector. If you really want to go that route, I would find out the resitance needed and go to Radio Shack and get it for .50c and save a bunch of money.

I bought this once for my '92 Cavalier I used to have. I didn't notice anything with it. Grant you it could be the 2.2L engine, the 170k miles or the fact that the car was a POS, but hey, I was 16 and it sounded like a good thing at the time.

 

and if you research it really good you will see the people that say that it works, say that it doesnt work in the winter time. and most posts that i see on it say it doesnt work. i cannt say though for sure,havent tried it. i wouldnt waste my money on it. but if you do let me know how it works for you.

 

people say that after a couple weeks or so your computer lerans it and it doesnt work anymore......i got one for my old 96 saturn and i dont know if it was related or not but my a/c went out until i took it off.....

 

I'm sure that to an extent it "works". By that I mean that it probably does what it says and bypasses your sensor and replaces it with a resistor that is the equivalent to a colder temperature. However, I don't think that our trucks breathing in slightly cooler air will give you a 10RWHP gain like it says. The only difference I see on this from the ebay things is that it might be capable of reading your sensor and then adjusting it down 20 degrees for any temp rather than setting it to a constant resistor and a single temp. Either way, do what you wish, I think you'll be disappointed in the end and pissed you wasted $55.

Thats just my $0.02. Take it with a grain of salt I guess!

 

I agree..waste of money.. but you never know!

 

If you buy this, I'm going to laugh really hard.

 

im not buying its a question chill

 

it seems to me when the iat and map don't get the right numbers and the computer relearns i then the hp will go away... but i don't know..........
