GFORCE Performance chip

Came across this web site touting their product, claiming better gas mileage, more power and lower emissions. Has anybody heard anything about this or maybe even have any experience? They claim it works with NOX, superchargers or any other modifications.

I wonder - scam or real?

Its a whole load of BS...if it were true, you would have heard it by now (especially considering that it is only $70).

JWT and Technosquare the two that made ECU's for 4th gens, but there are many piggybacks (EManage, VAFC, SAFC, etc) that will do the job pretty well too.

Definitely a scam.

The GForce module installs into your NISSAN MAXIMA's engine bay and is connected via 2 wires that plug into the AIT sensor.
Installing this would be like putting a resistor in your IAT sensor. Don't buy it.

If they made chips that "saved everyone gas mileage" I guarantee you that "EVERYONE ACROSS AMERICA" would have one.. in fact, I wouldn't mind going to radio shack, buying a 10 cent resistor, and making a very professional looking black box with nice logo's and art to make my product seem like something worth buying, then resell it for 100 dollars.

Eh, this is one of the most dumbest scams i've ever seen, in fact, i'm glad you came across that website. ima give them a little bit of information.


By the way, HOW in the HELL are they gonna show a chip that seems like it needs to be soldered into the ECU, and the description says, "The GForce module installs into your NISSAN MAXIMA's engine bay and is connected via 2 wires that plug into the AIT sensor."

*(notice how they say it installs into your nissan maxima's engine bay, well, quiet frankly, they turn around to say it connects via 2 wires that plug into the AIT sensor.)*

omg, this is so funny.

Haha sounds like they even stole the name. GForce is the copycat of GeForce video cards for computers.

Actually, it's a ripoff of this cinematic masterpiece.

...waits for someone to confuse this Gforce "chip" with a legit G-Force ECU (G-Force is the old name of Technosquare, a legit ECU tuning company, also known as UPRD before it was even GForce). Rest assured this GForce and the old G-Force are not the same.

Sometimes I wish I was a moderator so I could just lock up these stupid threads.

Well I bucked up and ordered one, it gave me more hp as VTEC engages. Also it came with some stickers that boosted torque.
