Engine Drivetrain 1st Gen Cooper S Most liked posts in thread: G-Force Chip - Real or Rip Off

The more you deny it, the more it just proves you like them...:cornut:

 

You don't have to jump off the cliff to know that the fall will kill ya... Just sayin.

 

Truth be told it's not the fall. It's that sudden stop at the bottom that kills ya.

 

Me Dave? Hahaha I am not putting that crap on my car. I have tested and Race winning RMW parts and tune on my car so I don't need silly voodoo crap to make power on a bench for the Internet world.

 

Call Jan at RMW and get a real tune.

 

But without the fall there is not the sudden stop...lol

 

But that's not the point. We all know it will go over the cliff. But I want to SEE it go over the cliff. And I want to be able to play it back as many times as I'd like. In slow motion, which it would have to be anyway, because that's how the car will go...

 

My friend had a chip on his celica and his engine blew up a few months later? Related or coincidence?

 

Only way to know for sure is if he datalogged it before, so you could see what it was doing, did...

 

I am biting my tongue REALLY hard on this one....:cornut:

 

Dang...and I was trying to protect him.....sensitive type that he is..

 

Hahahahahahahahaha

 

Came across this thread from a google link while looking up some non-related car stuff and ended up reading the entire thread. Since I came linked into the thread directly from google, I was not signed in and had a bunch of adds popping everywhere. When I gotto the 3rd page (default not signed in settings), I saw this which I thought was pretty funny!!

 

I don't know anything about this product. But.... MSRP- $399.99 and they're selling for $69.99. Come on, really???

How can that be legit? The laws of supply and demand still exist right?

 

I share Nathan's views, and not simply due to "internet rhetoric." Although the following seemed pretty damning:

My views ($.02, opinion, etc...):

1) G-Force, SLR, and RS4 all seem to be the same product/site/company;
2) 60 hp for $60 seems to too good to be true;
3) The photo for the G-Force HQ seems to be photo-shopped, and a search for the "founder" Simon J. Bruce results in nada;
4) As Nathan said previously, the fact that it's "available" for almost any car, scares me.

This all leads to the same scenario as the Turbonator/Tornado/Electric Supercharger scam a few years back. Yes, it might actually work, and, if so, fair play to those that get those amazing power gains so cheaply. But if it doesn't, best case scenario is that you're out $60. Worst case, well....

As stated previously, YMMV.

 

I don't know. The soldering seem to be of high quality and in compliance with J-BOD standards with plenty of pins on the chip for expansion. A little careful digging revealed some background engineering by the On Whore-izon guys, but seems the project lead turned out to be a litigious scum thus forcing the On Whore-izon to backwards engineer their own product and sell it under a different brand name.

 

So snake oil aside, what effects does adding a resistor have? Anything?

 

Perfect reason to buy two then! :lol:
