Hi guys! Check this link, has anybody tryed this module/chip for Mazda? It seems so cheap, the seller is from Feltham, UK. It will be really nice if it works like it's described, especially the result + 20HP for only 4.50&. Thanks in advance!

waste of money, bullcrap, leave it alone, you'll get more bhp out of a bee sting aerial than that chip. :lol:

Think moving all the fans inside your car to the downward position and folding the rear armrest up, would give better BHP and torque then this! :evil4:

ha not a chance mate! just messes up you fuel to air mixture and all that carry on, if it did give you 20 bhp more everyone would have one of these!

This has been asked about already, here is thew post

Beware it can screw your car up. It is simply a 1k resistor slotted into your air intake sensor, you can buy it for less than £1

It tells your engine that the air is cold, so it adjusts the air fuel mix accordingly... :roll:

doesn't do anything good to your car mate, that's for sure

Con!

Don't be fooled...

Thank you guys, I was really messed up, and I knew that it sound too good to be true. I better try to increase the power of my Z5 with a new sport air-filter and new sport exsaust (REMUS) for example. :bom:

Thats the way to go mate!!

Guys, I'm just wondering, what is the best result in increasing BHP of Z5 engine with no turbo and no chip? Has anybody reached 100 bhp? :idea:

NOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
no?

**Posted:** Thu Feb 12, 2009 9:41 pm

Yeah he has a 50 shot of Nos. I'm up to 96.5bhp

**Posted:** Thu Feb 12, 2009 10:00 pm

haha that extra .5 makes all the difference doesnt it paul!! id be lucky if mine has stil got its standard horses left in it i reckon!

**Posted:** Thu Feb 12, 2009 10:31 pm

second that Jase mate. Should be sorting all that out with a nice service.

How did you make this result mate? 6-7 bhp more for the Z5 will be nice :compress:

**Posted:** Mon Feb 16, 2009 2:45 am

Costs a fair bit and yes the .5 does make all the difference! Thats what the print out says, or shall I jus round it up to 97!
I've got:
Magnecor Leads
Bosch Super 4 plugs
Custom induction wiv a cheap £20 max power filter
Widened exhaust pipe from cat back
De-cat fitted except for MOT
FSE Boost Valve
Grounding Kit
Oil Catch tank wiv breather - some people just put a filter breather on the rocker
Silicon radiator hoses

I think thats about it, if I've missed anything just look at the list of mods in my garage area

**Posted:** Mon Feb 16, 2009 2:47 am

Oh and remember that you'll be bloody lucky if your car is running at the standard 90bhp. Get it tested first so you know how much the mods have worked. I didnt get mine tested first so I don't know what I've gained other than from manufacturers ratings

**Posted:** Mon Feb 16, 2009 6:06 pm

Thanks for explaining, but as I see, the result will be expensive in every case. The Z5 is a good engine, but a little more power will be wellcome. Any other ideas for cheaper tuning for Z5?

p.s. I hope that my engine has at least the original 90 bhp :bom:

**Posted:** Thu Jun 25, 2009 2:42 pm

Hay guys, I've just got a new double Remus backbox, especially for a Z5. I think the car now goes a little bit faster, and the sound is much better. I love it

And here comes the question - I would like a little more power, and what will be the effect of any "cold air intake system" + sport filter? Is there a real effect or this is just a marketing trick? I would like to see real achievement for increasing the BHP of a Z5. Anybody reccommend smth?

Cold air feed and closed cone filter does work

Do you know how many WHP more have you reached with this modification? I'm really mixed-up, some guys said there's no effect on more WHP, only better sound from the air intake, others say there's a little more power. Any other opinions if its really worth, having in mind the price for a cold air-intake system (about 200-300 $) :?:

Yeah but still after a whole thread getting definative answer that the product is shit, makes a topic have more meaning.

I've heard a club323f taxdisc holder can add 27bhp, and an air freshener adds at least 45bhp, and save you 25% on your fuel bills too

**Posted:** Thu May 13, 2010 1:33 pm

club stickers are 10bhp each don't forget! :thumbleft:

**Posted:** Thu May 13, 2010 1:37 pm

depends what colour - I have garnet red colour coded ones, worth an extra 5bhp on top of that :lol:
