Cheap Horsepower???

[02AccordV6]

Anyone ever heard about this??? If it works, that would be awesome.

more bandaids

There's no such thing as cheap horsepower.

It looks like it justs chuck some more fuel in.

If you don't know what it does, and I don't, why would you put it on? Think "fuel magnet", does it work?

[djet820]

It doesn't even really tell you what it EXACTLY does....

[Kwando]

buy it and do a review on it for HAI.

The G-Box enhances performance in multiple ways. First, it modifies signals being read by the ECU, causing an adjustment to the fuel curve, which is what creates the increase in horsepower and torque, as well as improves throttle response and shift speed. A second feature of the G-Box is it's "High-Heat Signal Correction." In short, when the engine compartment heats up, some sensors that relay pertinent fuel curve contingent information to the ECU begin to lose accuracy due to heat absorption into the sensor. The ECU then reads these incorrect signals, and leans out the fuel curve, which is bad for performance. These errors cannot be corrected from within the computer, there must be an independant unit to correct these errors. The G-Box is designed to automatically compensate for these signal errors. The G-Box is a simple installation to your vehicle's intake air temperature sensor, maf/iat combo sensor, air flow meter or map wiring harness(see applications chart, vehicles must also be fuel injected). Our easy to follow, step-by-step instructions will allow you to get your module installed in about 15 minutes, even if you don't have any mechanical experience.

wow...maybe I should actually red instead of skim. Kind of sounds like the ECU chips on ebay.

You only get what you pay for...

...and for that price you ain't gonna get much except for a whole lotta used up room under the hood.

Hrmm..neat! Bullshit products like that just make me laugh. I got a 50 hp increase from using actual gas, instead of just letting a horse take a piss in my tank!

Thanks for the new quote man.. I nearly pissed my pants when I read that.... :D luckily I made it to the engine though. :p

[95GSRB18C]

i agree. You get what you pay for...

Test Pipe

i say we all chip in $1.00 and buy the freaking thing and test it on someones ride....I will even volunteer.

If it turns out to be worth it, then it can be sold to who ever wants it.

It its a dud....all you lose is a buck.

Good job then! I heard if you drink some vodka before doing that you can pick up another 10hp! I havent tried it yet myself..I'm too busy installing magnets on my fuel lines!

I'm glad I can be here to entertain you! :)

It looks like the old trick where you put a resistor in line with your IAT sensor to fool your ECU into thinking the incoming air is much colder than it actually is, thereby causing the ECU to richen up your mixture. I read about it and tried it using some ten cent resistors and it made my '84 Dodge Omni with an automatic run 10's consistently. I think the key was the automatic transmission, because the acceleration was so extreme that I never could have pushed my leg forward hard enough to depress a clutch pedal. :rofl: I crack me up! But seriously, I tried it on my Civic after checking the resistance range of my IAT (important because different vehicles use completely different resistance ranges for their IAT sensors) with a few resistors from Radio Shack to simulate different air temperatures (I determined the different resistances for different temperatures using my refrigerator/freezer and a multimeter) and my butt-dyno failed to register any improvement, although I was surprised to see that the fuel management included in a $3000 Jackson Racing supercharger kit is a ten cent resistor and a relay to put it in line with your IAT when you accelerate. Oh yes, and it sucked, so I ripped it out and put in some real fuel management electronics. I think it is still sitting on a shelf in my workroom, so I'd be happy to sell it, although I'd want $500 for it because my setup has a resistor AND an relay, so obviously it is worth much more that a resistor in a little box.

I probably shouldn't be so sarcastic, but I think I'm just upset that I'm not bright enough to sell $2 worth of parts for $40. I'm not saying that the product doesn't work, just that is doesn't work for me to any noyiceable degree, although this may just be a calibration issue with my butt-dyno.

Agreed. Especially in a Honda.

cool. i thought i would just see. no harm done
