come accross this adjustable chip on ebay (D-Boos)t designed to increase power by 25HP. iv been told alot of chips designed to increase power etc. are just rubbish...

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/25HP-D-BOOST-PERFOR...1QQcmdZViewItem

has anyone had any experience with having these fitted to a vehicle?

do the dyno tests show an increase of power?

what brands are proven to be the real deal, and what have been proven to be a real rip off!

any info will be great.

cheers 4drftn

The link doesn't work, but I think I know what you're talking about. All I can say is that it's a full of shit. I haven't tried it myself, but just don't believe you can get that much power from a little cheap device.

Mate if its the chip im thinking of its not a chip but a resistor. You can get them from Dick Smith for 20c. Then you fit it to the connection of your airbox and reset ur ECU. Appartentley it adjust ur airflow and fuel ratio and ur ECU advances ur timing. Giving you the extra power. I have heard they work but i dont know about 25hp gains.

All it does is change the voltage going to the ecu from your air temperature sensor, making it think that it's a lower temperature and advance the timing as such. Very dangerous!

couldnt have been summed up better!

No. if u could "tune" ur ecu, then y would u bother fking around with those shitty resistors?

U want proper results, either remapped ur own ecu or get something like a PFC

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
