hi. I really want to give the freaking ebay 20hp mod chip a try and see how it goes.
however, after i opened up the hood. there were two plugs connecting to my air intake. One is black( the one that connects to the MAF/IAT) and the other is Green. i don't know where and which to connect my mod chip.
is it the black or the green?
if it is the black, which terminals since there are 5.


please people don't say that i am stupid. because i just want to give this ebay **** a try. maybe i will break the myth forever. lol

will post result.

 

Your just asking for trouble in doing this, do you really think you can add 20 hp with a .10-cent resistor? If power was that easy don’t you think Mazda could find a resistor and install it. This LINK might be interest as I can foresee future posts from you asking for help fixing your messed up 8. Didn’t you get instructions “custom made for the RX-8” That’s what the E-Bay listing said and there wouldn’t be any mis-information on an E-bay listing right? Also the ONLY way you can prove the thing works is to DYNO your car BEFORE and after the "MOD"

 

I installed my brand new air freshner inside my car and wow what a difference, not only did it smell great but the car's handling drastically improved!

 

The last guy who tried one of those a couple months ago broke his car pretty good. It had trouble starting, had a bad idle, flooded itself, then the electrical system took a crap has fuses were blown. All within a few seconds.

So, yeah, good luck with that. Not only will you not get 20hp but you'll damage your car and may even have to have it towed to the dealer if the flooding is bad enough.

 

Not to mention the chips actually reduce power, and don't add any. Richening an already rich fuel mixture results in a POWER LOSS, not a power gain!

 

Good for you terrypk1... at least your not scare to try it... never know.

Good luck with your adventure...

Keep the group posted...

 

I didn't say it...

 

thanks for all of you who wish me luck. lol. but no one answered my question.
please. i aM really stragulling. wich plub and which terminal. on the instruction, it just te;ls you that install it onto the terminals for IAT. But where are the terminals for IAT. lol

 

eenie meanie miney moe!

 

please just drive your 8 off a cliff, thanks

 

I don't understand how the seller of those mod chips have such good ebay ratings. Shouldn't they be terrible since the chips are useless?

What part of "The last guy to use one of those on the RX-8 broke his car good" is difficult to understand?

Anyone retarded enough to do something despite the warnings of what happened to others previously deserves what they get. You're not treading new ground, or putting some 'myth' to rest -- we know exactly what will happen. People have tried before with very negative and damaging results.

Here's what happened to the last guy:

 

thats scary

 

thanks but no need. i have read all the posts in each links.
i really need someone to just tell me the answer of the wiring.
Which plug and which terminal. PLEASE

 

green

 

use my advice at your own risk, you blow your electrical system, don't come blaming me :p

 

What you really need is for someone to steal your RX-8
Why didn't you just do a search for IAT ??
https://www.rx8club.com/search.php?s...6&pp=40&page=1 the answer is in there.

Now after reading the many post on how this will not work what is your mental disability that drives you to mess up your RX-8 when given the facts that this will not work?

FACT: what this will do if you can start your car is richen the fuel mix across the whole RPM range
FACT: The RX-8 already runs rich, adding more fuel will not make more power.

Why do you believe an EBay listing over the experience and knowledge of many forum members? What do we have to lose if this thing works?

 

quit trying to talk him out of it expo1, he'll learn his lesson. Just watch, he won't post after his 8 breaks down :D

 

Just make up a website saying its a scam, and then sell a pack of "power producing cotton *****" for 49.99.

 

just make sure you film it when you start the car up, so we can all have a nice laugh! :D

perhaps you should also add a park bench to the trunk, oh and also some nice 'type R' stickers to the sides...I hear they add 5HP instantly.

 

terrypk1:

Any updates?

 

of course no updates. he is now trying to figure out if this mistake is covered under warrenty.

 

lol
sorry i have been sick for a long while. anyway, so it is green then. thanks
i will go try out and tell you guys the result.
by the way, i mean no disrespect.
i am not very good with cars. just started studying them about 7 monthes ago.
they turn out to be a graceful thing.
it will be great to get help and advice from here.

when i got the car, it was already screwed up.
no parts were changed by the previous owner, but the clutch, transmission, engine oil, and even the break had some problems.
so i turned it to a dealer that gave me an almost brand new one. lol
the thing is that i want to race, so i need the power. but i don't want much, i just want it to be as fast as a 350Z in straight. and kill them in turns.
so i want cheap power.have to admit.

THANKS

 

that's some nice idea. BUt i have already had NISMO sitcker on my car. HAHAHA
