When i first asked about that chip/resitor thingy that goes on to the air temp sensor, which makes the engine read that its getting colder air and thus dump more fuel in to the chambers, i was told that it was unsafe.
However it has recently been brought to my attention that if the the sensor chip thingy tricks the engine into thinking its getting colder air then what would be the problem if i use it while running a CAI system? I ask this question because my temp sensor off the airbox is currently just sitting in my engine bay and reading probably hotter temps then what it read even with the stock airbox. So should i just relocate the sensor to a colder place or use the chip/resistor thingy? I also couldnt find it on ebay is there a how to? |

gas doesn't effect engine sound
no don't put any random resistor on your intake and be smart not retarded drill a hole put a grommet in there and have your intake sensor IN YOUR INTAKE thats why its there don't BE STUPID and the amount of "trubulance" that it will make YOU WON"T NOTICE PUT IT BACK IN |

Like you said i doubted that the amount of turbulance will be a big factor so perhaps when i get time ill just put the sensor in the pipe. Maybe ill take a look at AEM/injen and c how they do it? Thanks a bunch to everyone. |
