Title: These are jokes right?
Post by: GreenBayjeeper on April 01, 2006, 04:16:59 PM

Now that I have some extra cash, and my Jeep is paid for (finally!!), I'm looking into mods.

I found these on eBay.  There kidding right?

I'm not up on my fancy new cars ( I used to wrench on a 77 Trans Am), but what's a resistor supposed to do?

Basically all it is, is a resistor in a box that fools the computer to think it has colder air coming in than it really does.

Thus tricking the computer into dumoing more fuel... which does nothing good unless combined with more air, so....

So unless you have a bigger throttle body, a spacer, and a gnarly air box, you're just running rich then?

I like how they sell a $.6 resistor for $10.

Is it worth it no.  Does it work maybe.  There are better ways to do this.  And you're right, unless you do some other mods, you will just be running rich.
