    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

    really 

    TANSTAAFL: There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

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

    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.

    Thank you for the info. 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
