sorry, i actually do not know the part number, but i do recommend that you contact ROB at TORNACTIVE... im sure theres an email contact address on the site. otherwise you can try gettin a hold of IDQCIVIC from this website... i know for a fact that he has it and it is installed.

i'm really interested in it too. i heard it does work but if your car is heavily modded its not very effective. how much are they selling it for?

I'm intrested in one too. How do they work? I've only read what Venom says, and it seems cool, but I'd like to know exactly what it does.

VENOM High-Performance Poison For Your Vehicle


Venom 400 Control Module


The Venom 400 Performance Control Module is an add-on control unit that features its own micro-controller. This module is connected to the vehicle's sensors and increase engine performance by monitoring the sensors output characteristics and modifying the input to the existing vehicles computer.

The Venom 400 improves horsepower by as much as 25% through the range of approximately 1,000 to 5,000 RPM. Besides a substantial increase of torque, the Venom 400 reduces flat spots or delay time during sudden acceleration.

The Venom 400 incorporates an 8-bit micro-computer that is capable of monitoring the various sensor inputs and modifying their output at more than 40 times per second. If you already have installed a performance prom, the Venom 400 will enhance the vehicle's performance beyond the parameters set by the performance prom.

The Venom 400 constantly monitors the vehicle's throttle position sensor (TPS) and manifold absolute pressure (MAP) or mass air sensor (MAS). When air flow entering the engine and the throttle position sensor reaches a predetermined level, the Venom 400 is activated. The Venom 400 then enters a strategy of sense and modify. It senses the sensor values, interprets them, then modifies them to increase performance. The existing on-board computer senses the modified values and increases fuel flow, modifies the ignition spark curve and transmission shift points (on automatics only). Once the sensor valves return to normal mode, the Venom 400 switches back to sense only mode until conditions again warrant the high performance mode.

The Venom 400 is only active when peak performance is required. During normal driving the Venom 400 remains passive until the microcomputer determines that engine airflow and throttle position warrants increased performance. Normal fuel economy prevails while under normal load.

Enhances the performance gains achieved by installing an upgraded chip. Whatever the gains are as specified within the chip, they will be magnified through the use of the Venom 400.

The Venom 400 will not trigger the emission safeguards of today's vehicles.

The Venom 400 has an off switch so smog certification is achieved when not racing.

Red cockpit LED indicating Venom 400 activation.

Up to 25% or more increase in horsepower throughout the power range of 1,000 to 5,000 RPMs (where the vehicles red line is 6,000 RPM)

The flat spot or delay found with automatic transmission downshifts, which can be as much as three seconds, is eliminated.

Venom 400 works equally well with automatic or manual transmissions.

The Venom 400 will not damage existing vehicle electronics and no modifications to the existing electronics are necessary.

HP & Torque: Up to 25% increase

Installation: Easy installation in 20 -30 minutes with basic hand tools requiring only four electrical connections. Note:The Venom 400 requires no modifications to existing engine components and can be completely disabled at the flip of a switch, restoring performance back to original equipment specifications.

Edit: The part that is in bold is what I'm wondering about. My question is, how is this triggered, and is it triggered often enough to warrant $300...

Edit II: Saw it even cheaper here

triggered by pedal position i believe, which would mean at wot it would activate.

I went to the the Venom Performance site, read the FAQ, and it says it activates when the throttle body is open 25-30%

well i just searched clubsi.com and they say "don't buy it." all it does is fool the car- they say it was a waste of 300 bucks.

PRESS HARDER ON THE GAS AND THIS WILL GIVE YOU THE SAME EFFECT AS THE VENOM400 except its free.

....so hey IDQcivic did venom 400 gave u some power, is it worth buying it ????

 
Rep Power: 0

YOU ARE WRONG! It is a computer chip that monitors and updates the TPS and MAP sensors at 40 times per second. I have heard that the venom chip works better than upgrading the ECU. Anyways YES there is a notcable difference when the venom engages. It kinda feels like the VTEC kicks in but the venom will kick in at ANY rpm. It only works at 3/4 to full throttle, so at normal driving its not even in use. I can definitly feel it kick in when I step in the gas. The venom has a on/off switch and if I turn it off my car does not respond as fast and doesnt accelerated as smoothly. If Rob lowered his price to $259 that is a great deal! I'd recommend getting it as its an east upgrade and only has 4 wires to connect and takes like 30 minutes, mostly finding where to hide the wires....

Everyone says Venom 400 is easy to install. Where exaclty do you make the connections? Do you have to wire through the firewall? I would like to know some of those details. Thanks.

 
Rep Power: 0

The venom comes with directions on which wires to tap into and where they are. The TPS and MAP wires are by the throttle body. If you have an intake they will be easier to find. positve and negative I just connect straight to the battery. I mounged the VENOM unit behind my intake on the firewall with some double side tape that was included. Nothing has to go through the firewall except the LED which you can mount in your dash to indicate when the venom is working. Hope this helps, later!

Thanks man. Sounds easy enough. I had a Hypertec programmer for my Firebird and it did pretty well. Sounds like the Venom will do what I want. Mainly want to get more timing advance than the ECU does now.

BartKat, if you indeed decide to get the venom, I expect a full report.

Of course. I might even borrow one of them G meters and time it with it on and off.

Looks like Rob has the best price. The guy on Ebay has a $250 minimum bid and wants $14.95 shipping. I gotta find out tomorrow how much my roof wing paint job is costing. Then off the Philadelphia for a week. I ain't never been up there before. Looks like it will be a nice drive up through Va.

Well damn, you're up late. There is a link to some site that has the unit on sale for ~$260 near the top of this thread. I don't know how much shipping is though.

Up late cause I take naps. Like to watch the Len reruns. But it's not as late here as it is in NC. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Besides I need to find out what day my social security check comes before I buy too much stuff. I just about spent my Goodyear pension check already this month. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

Yea, but it's still pretty late. I think I am an hour ahead of you...I have to be up at 6am! I can take it though.

I wish I could look forward to a SS check. I will have to wait and see.

 
Rep Power: 0

I hope you can look forward to a ss check too. Heck, by then they may even have free medical insurance. I'll tell you for sure though, the best thing ever happened to me was the 401K plan. I never got into stocks, but put away a bunch of money and never missed it out of my pay checks. I'm hanging on to that for my old age. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] If they'd have had 401K 30 years ago I could have saved up a million by now.
