Promax X-chip

[princeandsheba]

Has anyone any knowledge of the above chip, sold for either improving V6 (1994 55K miles) performance by 28bhp, or improving economy?
It has to be connected to the Intake air temperature sensor. Before I fit this, I would like any comments on its ability to live up to promised operation.
Thanks for any help.

no chips work for the camry period. you will end up either just losing power and/or having your fuel economy go to the crapper... and thats if it doesnt really screw something up. Stay away from chips.

"Performance" chips are useless

A simple SEARCH could have yielded the same results found in the 2 posts above.

there are no real chips for the camry, just gimik ones that dont do shit.

Any "Chip" that just hooks up to the intake temp sensor is not a chip, it is a resistor in series with the sensor trying to fool the ecu into thinking that the air is cooler, and thus dumping in more fuel. The two problems here are that 1) it is not tuning your car, it is trying to flood it with gas, and 2) Toyota ECUs recognize these devices and re-tune them selfs to ignore them and continue to run exactly as before.

Of course there is that one mod where you solder in a potentiometer adjustable up to 500 Ohms into the coolant temp, or something like that so the ECU thinks the engine is colder than it is.

thats a cool little mod but it doesnt provide anywhere near 20hp and isnt a chip, just a trick.

I tried that shit once my car was flooded of gasoline and was running very badly and also throwing black smoke so chips are shit just buy and Apex,i or other piggyback

i didnt know that those chips would do that. i knew they were crap and didnt anything, but didnt know it would screw a up a car like that
