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

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
