hp and mpg chip

[Clarissa]

has anybody bought the chip that is advertised on here? 75 more hp and 3-8 better mpg? any thoughts or advice on it??

This topic comes up at least once a quarter, usually more.

They are hokum. Pure hokum. Snake oil will do more to free up power in your engine.

I also hear that unless you get a tornado intake swirly doodad that chip is not effective......


Do not buy that chip. If that's all it took to get turbo-like results, we wouldn't have engine conversions, turbo swaps, or any other engine mods.

Believe me, if it worked, we'd all have one. They Will do more harm than anything.

 

[PRanger]

Dude buy that chip! I ended up getting 66 more hp!

 

[--weezl--]

which chip is this one?

 

[killj0y]

Really? Most vendors are at least modest about their lies, they'll claim 20 or 25 HP not 75 that's nitrous, and forced induction numbers...lol

Those chips usually just fool your vehicle into thinking it's starved for fuel, causing it to dump more and running it rich, in theory if the engine clips get more air then yes it would help. But as it stands without forced induction of some kind then it's just running rich...not good and def doesn't help mpg. Nitrous at least gives it a colder charge thus allowing more fuel and better combustion. This chip just ruins your engine.

Your better off with one of those hokey electric turbos rofl...:screwy:

Hair dryer turbo ftw! Lmao!

Better off getting a super chips tuner. 15 HP, maybe 1-2 mpg better at most.

I like jalapeno chips........

I like jalapeno chips........

Me too.

x3 PS you'll get more enjoyment and less headache with these also plus more coin left over to do some real mods like a 25HP+ ranger station decal, I've been wanting one lol

You speculate too much, most of your points are wrong... I will elaborate when I am not on my phone


Sent from somewhere naughty!

Probably and no need to btw, but still snake oil. Just saying it's a ripoff...

Always a pleasure Weezl!

put simply, your theories are incorrect, but your conclusions are accurate

agreed

nope, this would cause it to run worse, and would NOT net gains of power... the only way to make the engine make more power is to get more air(read oxygen) in, or make it more efficient, typically through stoichiometric efficiency, which essentially means you are providing the combustion chamber with the perfect air to fuel ratio, which is 14.7:1 for pure octane (a main ingredient in gasoline) where as gasoline's perfect (read most powerful) is a little lower in the air aspect, closer to 13:1... which essentially means that for every 1 part of fuel, there is 13 parts air... any variation from that ratio means that there is something in the combustion chamber that is not burning completely... this decreases efficiency and power... the next thing you can modify with the chip is spark advance, cam advance (depending on the motor) and a few other variables

But as it stands without forced induction of some kind then it's just running rich... not good and def doesn't help mpg.

Nitrous at least gives it a colder charge thus allowing more fuel and better combustion.

no! nitrous oxide, which is N2O, is an oxidizing gas, yes it is a compressed gas, which is a liquid, and when it decompresses and becomes a gas, the change of state cools the charge, but the big factor is how it oxidizes, so in a combustion chamber, it acts similarly to pure oxygen... because it's the oxygen that's in the air that causes the combustion with the fuel, the more oxygen you add, the more fuel you can add... it's essentially the same as forced induction, because when it burns, it is the same as if you have forced more air into the cylinder, but without the added resistance on the compression stroke...

This chip just ruins your engine.

ehhhhh.... i doubt it

All things I meant but worded incorrectly but thank you.

That last part was sarcasm btw
