Interesting Ebay Performance Part..


Recommended Posts

hey guys!

Just came across this on ebay and for $35 it's got me interested ITEM just wondering if anyone has any experience with these? good or bad?

apparently this is how it works "It will modify any standard ECU by telling the ECU that the incoming air in the intake system is cold and so advances the ignition to compensate producing more power. In many cases fuel economy is increased too. Power is increased by up to 15BHP and torque is increased significantly. "

On an R33 they claim: "Nissan Skyline R33 GTS + 15BHP"

so what are our thoughts lads?

Old news :P

R33GTST's don't have inlet air temp sensors. :sorcerer:

So how does it go about "telling the ECU that the incoming air in the intake system is cold" ? :P

:D cheers :D

I would not trust anything that adjusts afm reading or computer reading of intake air flow. Unless of course it was a fully programable computer.

dont stuff around wasting money on cheap go fast ideas, save up and make your baby fly!

Who said you couldn't get decent and safe power upgrades for $35.... that $35 boost controller from SAU was one of the first things I bought, up until I sold it not a beat was missing!!!

:P :P :D :D BOOOST :( :( :( :(

I think that was the only exception, every other power mod has been in the hundreds of dollars :(

the safc is an airflow meter signal bender, it alters the airflow meter signal. this device is correctly setup to do this and does this in real time. the ebay mentioned hack is merely a resistor that always offsets the signal (air temp signal - which 32/33 gtst do not have) regardless of outcome. the safc is a piggyback afm signal bender

Air flow meters (AFM) measure the air entering your engine is mass, same as a Mass airflow meter (MAF).

IF this Device does what it says i can't see it being anything but bad for the running of your car;

you assume colder air is more dense than hot air so at the same throttle opening you get 'More" air than at hotter temperatures, So if your ECU did adjust fuel to suit the extra air would actually not be there at all, So all you would have is really rich running all the time which is bad.

Some dickhead will buy it though!

Everyone drop him a message telling him the rb20/25's don't have inlet temp sensors. Possibly point him in the direction of this thread.

I did a while back, it may have been this bloke, the web page sure looks the same. He wrote back telling me he has a work shop and I don't know what I'm talking about and that the rb20/25's do indeed have an inlet air temp sensor.. lol

Its the new polarizer, all they need is a pic of Brockie giving the thumbs up..

Nearly ended his career last time, maybe it'll finish him off this time..

ahh memories

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
