I have a 2004 Base MT and only have it a few months. It runs well, no issues. The car came with this G-Force Performance chip, rigged in very poorly. It is wired to a harness at the CAI. I have no idea what it does, or am I better off removing it?


Is it programmed or do I access it with a laptop? Car is used for normal driving around, no real hot rod stuff.

 

I'd remove it

 

Don't even try and resell it. Toss that Sh*t into the garbage can lol

Remove it, crack it open to see what's in it....post pics

 

Thanks so much for that link. Very helpful. I will cut the tape back and see what I need to do to remove it and hopefully see no impact to the way the engine runs. I love these forums - so much knowledge and experience to share. When I get it out, I will open it up and post the pics.

 

^ it was just a google search. Not a lot of firsts any more, but in all these years, this may have been the first time someone may had that thing installed on their Z (I know it came with your car)...And based on your other post, the car looks to be in good shape so hopefully you have a lot of fun seat-time ahead. I remember when my car had <80K. Just ticked over 150K.

 

As requested - here are the pics for the mystery G Force performance chip. Also included are pics of my harness to the CAI. Seems like at one time there were some guides/securing points for the harness. Not that it moves a lot. If anyone can post a pic of what it ought to look like I would appreciate it.
TIA.

 

Ha, so a power and ground wire

 

Probably a series of resistors to trick the ECM into adding more fuel. Its not power and ground more like inlet and outlet

 

I doubt it's even that. Two 12g wires into an FR4 board with no PCB and NO BUS going anywhere?? Hahahhahahahahahaha, good'un, damn felon.

 

It's the equivalent of an automotive placebo.

 

BRO. That's got to be worth as LEAST 45-50 hp, to the wheels!!!
