come accross this adjustable chip on ebay (D-Boos)t designed to increase power by 25HP. iv been told alot of chips designed to increase power etc. are just rubbish...

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/25HP-D-BOOST-PERFOR...1QQcmdZViewItem

has anyone had any experience with having these fitted to a vehicle?

do the dyno tests show an increase of power?

what brands are proven to be the real deal, and what have been proven to be a real rip off!

any info will be great.

cheers 4drftn

The link doesn't work, but I think I know what you're talking about. All I can say is that it's a full of shit. I haven't tried it myself, but just don't believe you can get that much power from a little cheap device.

Mate if its the chip im thinking of its not a chip but a resistor. You can get them from Dick Smith for 20c. Then you fit it to the connection of your airbox and reset ur ECU. Appartentley it adjust ur airflow and fuel ratio and ur ECU advances ur timing. Giving you the extra power. I have heard they work but i dont know about 25hp gains.

All it does is change the voltage going to the ecu from your air temperature sensor, making it think that it's a lower temperature and advance the timing as such. Very dangerous!

to the thread starter. if ur goin to listen to any advice on this topic...listen to this....

couldnt have been summed up better!

No. if u could "tune" ur ecu, then y would u bother fking around with those shitty resistors?

U want proper results, either remapped ur own ecu or get something like a PFC

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
