Some type of performance chip on ebay
Hi, I'm new here. I've been coming to this forum for a while but never registered because I never did anything to my 93 SC400, but I'm just doing a few things to it now. Anyway, I saw this on ebay and I actually called the guy to ask him what the installation requires. He said I would need to find the "IAC" (Idle air control?) unit before I bought it. Does anyone here think this thing actually does what he claims it does?

ok lets go over this once again, I understand you are new and probably not checked the forum yet but things like this have been discussed many times, and of course their outcomes are all the same, anything you want to buy for that cheep and expect it to actually work will most likely not do jack **** or it will mess something up. So I would say take that 30 bucks they want and go buy your self something nice because you will enjoy that much more than this "power chip". And honestly I don’t mean to sound like a smart *** or anything I truly mean what I am saying.

Welcome!
If it really worked like it claims, I think everyone on this forum would want a piece of it..But seriously, a logo'ed black box with a Home Depot made "performance chip" isn't gonna do our cars any good. Save your $20 dollars+shipping and bring your girl out for a movie.

Yeah, that's basically what I thought. If I had actually believed it, I woulda just bought it. The pricing and how it looked so janky made me skeptical but hey, who knows...I thought the 1 in a million chance that it would work was worth asking though. Thanks.

He is using the backside of a dual NAND gate chip which if wired straight through produces resistance. The resistor obviously just didn't look as cool, so he decided to do it this way. For about the same amount of resistance you can also use dog *^% wrapped in aluminum foil

At 10-13hp per resistor, if I wire 300 of them inline, I'll be looking at a 3000-3900HP gain for $15!
