looking around ebay just now i ran across this:

PERFORMANCE CHIP MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE 1990-2010 2009 2008:eBay Motors (item 160390944661 end time Dec-31-09 10:34:34 PST)

how retarded is this shit?

damn i need to get one those...

Maybe if we get ahold of the seller we can do a group buy!!??

This is why when people come into the autoparts store I work at and and start telling me about their "chipped" car I just roll my eys.

Our performance modules tune your vehicle's engine to run at stoichiometric levels. Stoichiometric or theoretical combustion is the ideal combustion process during which a fuel is burned completely. Fuel is not wasted (rich mixture) and your engine isn't starving for fuel either (lean mixture). The tuning is done through the vehicle's on-board computer or ECU. Our module tunes your vehicle's ECU to allow the engine to run at stoichiometric levels which maximizes performance and improves fuel economy simultaneously.

Um, so what do they think the o2 sensor does anyways? And how could you gain hp by running stoich? Stoich is for emissions, not power (or mileage).

I can haz 50hp

I've taken one of these aprt before all it is is a positive and negative wire running thru the "chip" and theres a little resistor that connect's the two.

Wow.

Dude I got one of these and they work just like it says, I just plugged it in to my flux capictor and got teh horzepowaaaaaaaa!!!

, wow!


Isn't it illegal to sell something like that describing it for what it is/does?

eBay - where suckers are had every minute.

These have been around for a while. I don't know why anyone would be surprised to see them. This is soooo 2002.

If I had time I'd buy one for my non-turbo GS.....dyno the car before and after the installation. After the car makes no notable HP increase or even LOSES power, I'd sue the seller for false advertisement.

And hey, if the car does make 50 more horses, I'm making as much power as most turbo kits add for just $20.

Haha, they even give u a ZIP TIE!!! Im sold.....

the sad thing is i bet this guy has made alot of money off of these.

All the more reason to sue him for false advertisement

The chip seems to be a bigger scam that the E turbo. Electric Supercharger/Turbo Nitrous All Cars +MPG/+HP:eBay Motors (item 150400811638 end time Jan-05-10 19:30:00 PST)

Running just outside of stoich will net the best fuel mileage, 15.3-15.4:1 is good. But you couldn't do that without a wideband because nb02 sensors wont be accurate even in that range outside of stoich. You can also net better fuel economy through staying in closed loop longer, a resistor on the TPS input would achieve this but cause a number of other driveability and reliability issues.

You shouldn't always roll your eyes. There are a lot of DSMers running "chipped" cars that really do add a lot of power. I can't claim to be one of them because my car is flashed not chipped but there is definitely improvement to be made over the stock tune especially on a modded car. Also there is a new trend of legitimately useful flashes/chips coming out as emissions become more strict.

Improved Engine Life

Reduces stress on the engine increasing the life of your engine and all related components.

Increases the life of engine oil extending the time between costly oil changes.

Reduces build up on spark plugs and engine heads.



Q: I already have a cold air intake installed. Can your module be used in conjunction with other performance upgrades?

A: Yes, our performance modules are completely compatible with cold air intakes and other popular performance upgrades such as exhaust or headers.



NEATO!

Increases the life of engine oil extending the time between costly oil changes.


my last oil change ran me 18 bucks with castrol gtx and a bosch filter...
