my ecu is also a ~~~~ty KEfico me7.x.x ecu its not the most common out there

, i ll test on a easier ecu!

Did you tried it on another car for longer then 150 miles/200km? just got mine, will test it in a renault traffic (2006)

havent got the time, i was on vacation. i have a corolla to test..gasoline denso ecu...but i m affraid not to damage anything...dunno waht that little garbage is capable of doing

I look forward to your results !!!

if led blink only red not compatible with ecu car (and not work)
if led blink red/green compatible with ecu car (work)

tested with sid803 psa and not work (led blink only red)
with edc16c8 alfa work

**ominimicu** · 6th September, 2015, 11:36 PM

i ll test, did u notice anything on the alfa?

mmmmmmm ;D

Thank you very much for your teardown. This is very popular in my country and i wonder how it work for quite a long time. Glad to found your tread before buy it.

whoa...they selling this is my country...claiming can up the horsepower by 35%....hahaha..

just plug in something worth what, $30, can up the HP?? F1 team already can save their budget next season...

ominimicu really compromitation post...

I get one time ago one free examine it, nice ~~~~ with good selling price.
Some really bad man's cheaper sell staled remaps

Hello
To everyone!

Waist of money and time ! The leds are working fine!

Hello,
Here are some news about placebo effect. :-) I purshased one for my VW Golf IV 110 TDI. Don't laugh at me, it's not a big investment and deserves the try...
My driving habits are the same for about... 20 years. I do 80% town 20% highway. So here we are : I plugged it, did the reset thing, started the engine... It seems to have more power but i can't really measure it, having no device for that (placebo effect ? Likely... especially because they say we have to wait for 150miles). So did I.
200 miles after ... I still think my car has more power than before... did not try to pull out the plug yet.
I usually drive 620 km(385 miles) with full tank. With the Nitro red (Diesel) i reffilled first at 650km. Nothing impressive. Now, I reach 680km before red light (fuel alert) appears.
Conclusion : I'm not sure that this "toy" increases my car power, even if I feel like it does but i really drive 10% further, that's a fact. So what to say... I would really like somebody more competent to do real measures, tests or whatever to convince me I'm not a fool :-)
Thanks for your reading and keep me up to date if someone does any reliable test.

Better answer is to hook up a y-cable and an obd2 logger. If they do anything it will send an ECU reset code periodically to reset the learned trims. I have logs from one somewhere I bought thinking it was an ELM interface. It wasn't quite identical but similar.

MATE...BETTER TO TRY A VIAGRA AND DRINK A REDBULL...WILL SEE THE REAL POWER

Hey, it can not work. After starting the engine, the ECU locked. Unable to reprogram the ECU.

**manocao** · 13th July, 2017, 09:06 PM

on nitro obd2, the pic16f59 can not read or modify ecu maps, it is supposed to inject some assembly code for the ecu to modify fuel injection through obd2 K-line (CANbus pins are not connected, (EDIT: THEY ARE CONNECTED) maybe that's why they only work with some cars based on ISO k-line communication, but not with CANbus based communication), as people formerly did by fooling temperarure sensor with a resistor to inject more fuel...
here is more info
www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1381208408568286.1073741830.114498134885766 1&type=3
EDIT: ANALYSIS OF PCB BY THAT GUY IS COMPLETELY WRONG
see also all the pictures with their explanations
search about "fuel trim" on google and youtube

it claims to work at partial throttle (closed loop, o2 sensor information taken into account by ecu), not full throttle (open loop, o2 sensor information ignored), that's why it is supposed it cannot be tested on dynamometers (full throttle) but with obd2 "short term and long term fuel trim" live data...
i don't even have one myself, i just would like to know what the device really does when connected to obd2 socket

BUT: (EDIT: NEXT IS NOT TRUE ANYMORE)
after analysis of pcb, it finally seems it only powers a chip to make 3 leds blink, it cannot send nothing to ecu, there is no canbus connection and kline is only for powering up the chip as the diode would avoid any communication from the chip to ecu
see my picture:
EDIT: MENTIONED PICTURE WAS WRONG. BAD PCB ANALYSIS. DELETED. AFTER ANALYSIS WITH DEVICE ON MY OWN, NEXT IS RIGHT PICTURE:

EDIT: 6 leds pcb version:

EDIT: this nitro obd2 is miniature proracing chip, see same pcb tracking
