if you are serious, get your money back immediately. that is a rip off and a lie.

 

Resurrection of a resurrection; from 2003 -> 2005 ->2008... damn...

I'm not much in the know about "performance chips" for our car, but those improvement claims seem fishy to me for just a chip.

 

Buyer Beware. Never heard of it.

 

LoL @ someone actually buying it.... Last one left? Is that right what will I ever do......

 

I see that you are already getting flamed. Now think about this........if it were that easy why would people like Cobb be spending enormous amounts of money to develop a flash, why would we be using piggy backs, why, why, why? Because it does not work and this is the way to part a fool and his money. Buy the same chip off ebay for about $10.00. Use the thing that you were born with and think it out and look thru the forum posts. You are not the first fool.

 

im still gonna try it and if it doesnt work ill send it back. ill let yall know if it works or not.

 

and guys tell me why it wont give me some good reasons and facts. I called them to.

 

Your the one claiming we don't know anything about how our car works, you should be the one with all the answers . But here is some stuff to ponder. This claims to work with the IAT sensor, do you know where it is, what it looks like or what it does? But to save you from hurting your brain IAT stands for intake air temperature sensor. These type of hacks claim to trick the car's ECU into thinking its colder outside than it really is and richen up the fuel mixture more fuel = more power???. Problem is the RX-8 already runs rich witness the soot on your exhaust tips. If making the car think its colder out worked then RX-8 would dyno 30HP higher in the winter?? Nope it doesn't. If making the car think it was cold increases power based on more fuel how does that help improve MPG?? O wait you just adjust the chip to think its hotter outside cause we all get better MPG in the Summer??
You said you were getting the $89.00 chip? well you can find the IAT in the MAF sensor. Here is a photo of the IAT part of the MAF sensor, where does your chip go?? Correct right in the garbage.

 

so its not gonna work?

 

nope

cobb uses a tuner to reflash the software

think of it as your computer running windows 98

cobb takes it and installs windows XP uses a gameboy like thing

i had one on my WRX and it made a world of a difference

soldering on some 3 dollar chip and this thread will turn into


"i need a new ECU for my rx-8 because soldering didn't work"

 

Let the kid install it and prove us wrong.... he really thinks just cause he spoke to someone at the company and they fed him a load of bullshit that this chip really is going to work. Well try it and tell us how good it works.

 

Should be fun getting your money back also. I'm sure that you know more than I do and your better looking to. I wonder why I spent all that money on my mods cuz all I had to do was listen to this young man who knows it all.

When you 18 you think all the older people are stupid for getting older. Please do buy it and prove 3000 members wrong and that your smarter than all of us.

Here is another (supergrk 18) candidate for the ignore list.
