Do these chips really work?

I saw a link on Ebay, I did some searching on my car and stuff and I saw these chip additions that add extra HP, the thing is you dont do any wire cutting or anything like that, and its a pretty quick installation, thats what most of the pages say. Another thing is is that one of my friends I know got one of these things for his Solara, and he said he noticed a decent difference with the amount of HP and torque.

Here's a link to some of them: http://search.ebay.com/Nissan-Maxima...ageNameZRC0023

I am not yet interested in buying one... What do you guys think?

I like how they say the JET and other chips simply add fuel. They do far more then that, its funny when competators explain their competions products "in detail"

chips

Usually it's just some kind of resistor and doesn't do much, not very trustworthy either.

remember!
on ebay, especially with car stuff, what you pay is what you'll get (quality, that is).

But, hey... it's nice to be able to test that stuff out and then tell everyone else on the .org! Like me! I'm thinking about buying a FTSB off ebay... just b/c I'm cheap

I have one of those 20$ FSTB and it works just fine. Seems like the older and more beat up the car is the more pronounced the benefit will be to the driving dynamics.

O and with some tweaking it fits on the 4th gens, as my friend jacked it off my car while it was getting repaired.

Yeah the resitor trick. I went to Radio Shack and bought a pack of them after doing some careful research. It tricks your car into thinking the air comming in is cooler and therefore advances your timing a bit. But go to far and your car will suffer because it will not fire at the right time recommened resitor to plug into your Air Sensor Plug is an 8100 1/2ohm. makes it think its about 35f i bought a 6700 or something close and it checks in around 60 i think so its only adjusted a little.

What is funnier is the JET doesn't even do that.
