Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / May 2004Pathfinder - Intake Sensor Mod??
Hello all, Just wondering if these "Intake Sensor mods: you find around Ebay really do work? Here's an example of one that's listed right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2452335449&category=40926 From the picture, it doesn't look like anything more than a resistor jumped across two pins of the intake sensor module. I tried searching google to see if I could find any info on this, but came up short. So if anybody has any experience with this, please post a reply. And if it is nothing more than a resistor, does anyone know the exact size of the resistor needed? Many thanks in advance :) Kevin G. wow , starting bid for a 1/4 watt resistor is six bucks ?!? gimmie a freaking break. I guess P.T.Barnum was right, "there is a sucker born every minute" (this is no slam against you) This is the oldest trick in the book, it will NOT give you any more horsepower and it Will decrease your average miles per gallon. What you are basically doing here is "tricking the air flow meter into thinking a greater ammount of air is moving thru it and the ECM tries to compensate be increasing the injector pulse width. don't do this mod . leave your pathpuppie just like it is and it will give you many years to good service > Hello all, > > Just wondering if these "Intake Sensor mods: you find around Ebay > really do work?

I can buy a 100 of them for 5 bucks. >I guess P.T.Barnum was right, "there is a sucker born every minute" (this >is no slam against you) > >This is the oldest trick in the book, it will NOT give you any more >horsepower and it Will decrease your average miles per gallon. Wan't more power ? Buy a pathfinder with a 3.5L motor. Or trade it in on a 275HP Chevy Trailblazer. >What you are basically doing here is "tricking the air flow meter into >thinking a greater ammount of air is moving thru it and the ECM tries to >compensate be increasing the injector pulse width. In layman's words, wider pulse = more fuel per squirt. That doesn't = more horsies since your puppy needs to breath better. >don't do this mod . leave your pathpuppie just like it is and it will give >you many years to good service Umm I don't share that opinion :) and did you check out his other auctions? they all use the same picture, which is from a Nissan. and he offers FREE shipping , Wooooo Hooooo. This has rip off written all over it > Hello all, > > Just wondering if these "Intake Sensor mods: you find around Ebay > really do work?

I'm an electronics tech by trade, so when I saw the resistor I figured he was simply jumping two points of the sensor together -- and using the resistor to compensate for either voltage or current. I ended up coming across a few posts on nissanforums.com regarding these little homebrew mods... and just as you had mentioned NissTech -- basically just a bullshit mod that doesn't work :) Many thanks for the reply... much appreciated!! PS - Are there any reasonably inexpensive mods to be done to the pathfinders to give a slight HP increase? I should be content at 240hp, but you know how that goes... the more you have the more you want ;-) >and did you check out his other auctions? > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >> >> Kevin G. www.spencerlowracing.com I put on the SLR Air system and Exhaust on my 03 Frontier Am putting out almost 200HP and 218TQ. Estimated as you know due to no real way to ensure flywheel Pwr unless we pull the engine. > Yep... no doubt a ripoff.

They go on to say that this "secret mod" has been used by many drag racers on the track. What a load of bullshit. I have half a mind to email this crook. Guess that why he has so many negative feedback. 16 of em in a year. Guess that why he has so many negative feedback. 16 of em in a year. |
