Performance chip advice.

I'm looking to get the most horsepower out of my Corolla for around $250

I already bought a short ram intake.

I'm looking at this chip that promises up to 35 horsepower

here it is

anyone ever bought one of theese before or know someone that has and can testify it works?

what the hell?

I'll sell you one for $50 shipped

Any chip that doesn't connect to ECU doesn't work. A cold air intake will give you more than that "chip".

[joeyb649]

Can you give me the name and the specs on the ecu chip. How much horsepower/Tq dose it promise?

[Pineapple]

Made by Pineapple, sold by Pineapple. Promise? I can make it as much gain as you want. How much HP can you handle? 50HP, 500HP or 5000HP? You want a dyno graph with it?


Come on, you still haven't got it?

all your doing is baising a sensor, so the ecu thinks that the vehicle is operating a certain way it isnt, witch in turn will increase or decrease fuel/timing and such. for example, lets say you put a 1 ohm resister on the ECT (engine coolant temperature )sensor, sorry if toyota calls it something else, im a ford tech and thats what ford calls it. well now the car thinks its, lets say 50 degrees colder then it actually is. well the engine wants to run at a certain operating temperature, so in turn it will adjust the fuel setings to reach the desires ECT, so lets say hypothetically, it leans the mixture out, a lean mixture runs hotter because there is more oxygen atoms to fuel atoms in the combustion chamber, and a fuel atom will actually cool a combustion chamber more then an oxygen atom will, so in turn the oxygen atom will heat it up. so doing this gains you that pivotal 2hp you need on a 120hp car with the managable negative of significantly increase engine wear, or the chance it will just run way to hot and go boom. but i mean 120 hp to 122hp jesus, the choice almost makes itself!!

on a side not i was just about to ask what kind of piggyback/ecu options are out there for potential gains, i know my thunderbird piggyback computer on the car makes the difference of night and day for the overal performance of the car.

id like to squeeze either a few more ponies out of my rolla, or a few more mpg, im hoping someone chims in and says someone makes a multiposition chip for these cars

[joeyb649]

your telling me i could put in this chip and gain 70hp with out damaging my engine ... your dreaming.

[Pineapple]

You think a $90 chip will give you 35HP gain. Who's dreaming now?

No ECU tune will ever give you more then 10% gain unless its a diesel.

The chip won't damage your engine, 1000% guaranteed.

The only damage done is on your wallet.


You got it yet?
I don't think he ever read past first line of the post.

[joeyicu]

i didnt say that at all, re read my post homer

[joeyicu]

jet chips makes a 90-06 module for corolla's i dont know if anyone is running this power chip or not, but i just found it on there website

Your better off getting a Tornado Gas Saver.......

Alternatively, for ~$250 you could pick up a SAFC. That and some wideband dyno time might actually get you a bit more power.
