Wifey wants her Vitara a little quicker.

Been looking at an engine swap (Ctitroen 1.7TD - apparantly lots of the Vitara boys fit these) but dont have the money.

 

On ebay there's one of them Celox resistor pack things that I presume fit in with the AFM to reduce voltage or something?

 

Anyone explain what they do and if so any good?

How does it work?

It will modify any standard ECU by telling the ECU that the incoming air in the intake system is cold and so advances the ignition to compensate producing more power. In many cases fuel economy is increased too. Power is increased by up to 15BHP and torque is increased significantly.

 

 

Just found that - how good do you reckon these things are.

Snake Oil ! (no reference to your previous post!)

Lol

I oughta ask one of the chavs at Halfrauds for that - watch them spend 10 mins shouting across shop floor asking if they sell it!! :D

seriously though - do those Celox things work?

What engine is in the Vitara now ? Is it a turbo diesel ? If so you can raise the boost a bit, or get it chipped if it's an HDi engine.

not a turbo diesel

Petrol.

Cant remember if its carb or injection. If its an Injection I presume you can chip em?

seriously though - do those Celox things work?

No, don't bother. Just a cheap 15p resistor that you can buy in places like maplins. They make no difference, bit like the electric supercharger!

Cheers bud,

may look into getting it chipped up then if its a injection engine.
