Timing Advance Mod Kit 
I just bought this chip that is supposed to make my car run cooler through the manifold air temp sensor, I was wondering has anyone heard of this chip? I got it off ebay? I just wonder if it works before I take the time to put it in1 you know!

Rep Power: 0 it wont hurt anything...all it does is slightly offset the signal sent to the ecu which will advance ignition timing....try it and see if u notice anything...if u dont notice anything...throw it away

Rep Power: 305 Actually, the computer in our cars runs it pretty well. Think of it this way, if the computer is lied to, meaning you change a sensor by using this kit, will it always make the right decision.
NO it won't. It can run too lean on a hot day and cause detonations that destroy your engine.

Rep Power: 0 bassicaly it's just resistor
BUT the one that ebay sells are only 300ohm. 7thgen CIVIC need to use at least 2K - 2.2K ohm.
< 2.1K = hotter engine temperature
2.1K ohm = normal engine temperature
> 2.1K = colder engine temperature
and yes ..... its a RIP OFF

Rep Power: 315 just buy a resistor that has bands that are in this order Red Black Orange Gold.
that will suppossedly work, but it will not increase your HP to +20
If it is too good to be true....it probably isnt/
Here's how to do it. resistor mod

I guess its only a few bucks but still.
not very smart buying behavior.
