I don't any details, but my friend living in florida said there is some company down there who is making a performance mod. Basically it modifies the intake air temperature sensor and tricks the engine into thinking it's colder then it is. Of course that'll make the car run leaner and supposedly give it a horsepower boost.

He said the company claims 10-15 horsepower and he's installing it on his car.

I know these kinds of mods exists, honda people have been doin it for ages. I just wanna hear all your feedback.

I'll try to get more info about this potentially new mod.

They sell that crap on e-bay, have been for years. it's crap and a complete waste of money. You can do the same thing with a $.20 resistor from AutoZone, but it's not gonna help any. Colder air needs MORE fuel, which means your car will just run richer. You might get a little more timing advance out of it (yeah, like, 1*, if that) but the over rich mixture is going to sap that little power gain right back out.

Basically, it's stupid, and the people that push it should be kicked in the face.

I thought that regardless the ecu would learn over it? Dont take that as a fact though.

Yea? You try searching for "IATS fooler" and see if you get any hits. Like i said, i didn't know the details about the product so I threw it out for people who knew better to answer.

Plus, no offense to you, but in my 2+ years of being here, I've never seen a single post about a product like it. So save your "pls do a search" for threads that really deserve that being said.

The above wasn't meant to sound angry, it was just stated matter-of-factly. I don't mean to flame anyone. ;)

Thanks for the info dino, I guess i should make some phone calls to my friend.:thumbsup

Im sorry maybe I should have said that What I said was not meant to sound harsh? Seriously This has been discussed several times before, from ppl "finding" them on e-bay and the like. Maybe IATS wont get you any hits but Intake Air mod and the like will. Just giving you a heads up thats all.:shrug

Want to borrow my size 13?

HA! This is such as old "trick" :thumbsdown

i used one of those one time and they work really good in 40 or lower weather but other than that no they aren't worth it

how about we drill a hole in the head and spray nitrous on our intake cam while we're at it :P
