Cheap EFi mod?

[Paul Young]

£4.99 seems too good to be true, so I know it must be..........

Just the same though, you've got to wonder. It sounds very plausible......

What does the collective wisdom of all you "Tossers" think of this? It could certainly be a simple cure for any lean running issues at the very least.

Sounds like we need to wait for your test report Paul!



Sounds like its worth a gamble.......

It fools the ECU by telling it the car isn't fully warmed up and the ECU enrichens the fuel slightly. In short, it makes your car run on half choke. Avoid.

Why????

I've read the blurb & understand that it fools the ECU into thinking the air temp is lower than it actually is, & that this causes an increase in fueling to compensate for something which is not actually the case, but....... Please explain in more depth, why an engine which runs lean should suffer in any way if the fueling is enrichened slightly. I need to understand, 'coz this is the reason a lot of GS'ers have bought expensive EFi chips.

Sorry Bryn, I've got a Superchip fitted which has cured the lean running on my bike (Dyno'd to confirm) so I'd be running it even richer. Not the best testbed, ......fancy volunteering? - Before & after dyno charts required.......

Its a con

If you send for one of these you'll be sent a resistor...and a bit of an instruction sheet which is total tosh. Its a get-rich-quick special, but with loads of bods sending these people best part of a fiver each time..it won't be the punters getting rich!!

My son sent for one of these as a pressie for me, poor lad, still .....thats how you learn.

A standard resistor cost 2p so these guys are making plenty of cash. I suppose if you had the right value resistor fitted then you would get a linear increase in fuel across the entire throttle range but theres no guarantee that the resistor supplied will actually match your bikes temperature sensor which could screw the fuel delivery up big time, the last thing you want to do is wash the bores with fuel.

If you have an 1100, without a Lanba sensor, then theres a pot under the rear mudguard that performs a similar task
