Tiburon resistor kit
Hi again...last question..lol.
Same car...2004 Tib I-4, 5-spd. I see these resistor kits on ebay saying gains up to 20hp. Does this really work? If so what size is the resistor that is used? I just can't justify $4.00 for a resistor and $3.50 to ship it esp. when I probably have the exact size resistor here with my pinball machine repair parts. Well if anyone can help me out with any of these 3 questions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Greg |

But $4 for a 2 cent resistor is a good markup for the seller. Bob |

Re: Tiburon resistor kit
The point of the resistor is to put it in parallel with the air temp or
coolant temp sensor, making the car "add" more fuel. One of two things will happen. The car will go into closed loop anyway and adjust the fuel as necessary to minimize harmful emissions, or the car won't go into closed loop and the check engine lamp will come on because it's not in closed loop. If you really want performance, get a V6. It goes like a bat out of hell. |

When I saw it a few months ago on ebay I figured it might just mess the computer up in the car just did not look safe for the system but as curious as I am I had to ask where people would know...Snake oil it is. As for a V6 when I bought mine I thought about it hard but driving about 75 miles a day between work, school, and home I opted for the I-4. Thanks again Greg |
