Do these chips really help? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2N1-...r_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item4a9d29bd51
Claims are a bit iffy. Checked the seller's ratings, whenever someone rates a negative the seller either claims they are a competitor trying to tarnish their good name or call the buyer a "LIAR!!!" Seems the seller is 15...or just a liar...or perhaps the buyer was trying to tarnish their good name. What ever the case they seem to be making a lot of money of this item. There were 365 ratings (in the last 12 months) and $25 per sell...hold on...just...$9125.
ratings seem a bit padded. but for the price, its worth a shot. id wanna know what parameters it fools though.
if you think your going to get the claimed 50+ hp on a 22re with just a chip, better think again.................but buy one and let us know hahaha
What I can say on this issue ,is that LC Engineering told me not to waste money on rechipping,as they saw no gangs on the dynos!
It's not a chip, it's a resistor that you wire into the harness to make the computer see a lower reading from the coolant temp sensor, keeping it in cold start mode permanently, dumping more fuel in. Don't waste your money or time.
If that is all it does, then as other's posted, don't waste your time. To gain a little power you run a little leaner than the factory safe setting. If this just richens it up, you are just wasting fuel
destroy your cat and MADE it run bad ? they saw no GANGS in the dyno ? good I hope gangs arent living there. haha just kidding man but two typos I had to bust your balls hmmm.. if its to good to be true.. its not true.. also chips give 10% gains tops ? if the engine comes with less then 100hp and can gain 50 thats a 50% gain... if you have to come on here and ask if its legit its not legit.. good luck dont waste your time or money
These chips Do work, just not in the way you all are thinking. Here's how they work: By spending the money on the chip, your wallet is a little lighter, as we all know lighter means faster. If you drive your truck with your wallet in your pocket, then your truck will be faster! Seriously,though. Junk. They do nothing good, they do stuff, just nothing worthwhile. You'd get better gains for cheaper by stripping your interior....
you will get more power out of bolts anyway.... 22re airflow is constricted badly. I would do a supra afm swap. Or if looking for ecu. Megasquirt is good and a lot cheaper than Lcengineering systems.
