The product description isn't clear at all about exactly what it does or exactly where it goes.

 

From a product FAQ I found on the intar-web, they address two issues that may be a clue:

 

I have trouble locating IAT sensor. Can you help?

and

My vehicle is equipped with MAF (Mass air flow sensor) and I see more than 2 wires. What should I do?

 

If these questions come up often enough for someone to write a faq addressing them, then it's not unreasonable to think that the product affects these two systems.

 

So, what sort of "cheap power adder" would deal with IAT and MAF sensors? My guess is resistors that fool the IAT/MAF into thinking that the air temperature is colder or that there is more air coming in than reality, thereby encouraging more fuel to be dumped in.

 

 

 

For what it's worth, the seller has elected to keep all the text of his feedback private.

 

It's also interesting that the module for the Chevy SSR, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Echo, 89-92 Nissan Sentra (I owned one of these...), Buick Century, and EVERY application gets EXACTLY the same 22HP boost from the product.

 

Really, how likely is it that a device will achieve the same 22hp (or >25%) power boost on a '90 Nissan (the same number for model year and flywheel HP) as it does on a Chevy SSR?

 

 

Stay Away.

 

 

Unless its performance benefits stack with the Tornado and the Fuel Line Atomizer/Polarizer whatzit. Then maybe buy two.

sound cool like those ricer cars

 

Maybe you could get a similar sound by removing one of your after-cat O2 sensors (assuming you have two cats) thereby getting that highly regarded, much feared "vacuum cleaner on steroids" sound out of 4 of your eight cylinders. In the event that you don't have dual cats, maybe you could just drill a medium size hole in one of the pipes between the manifold collector to the y-pipe.

 

Don't forget to wrap a Maxwell House can with foil tape and attach it to the end of your exhaust tip, add V-Tech Type-R badging to your tailgate, and a big honking wing over the non-drive wheels!!

 

As ridiculous as the adhesive accessories are, they probably add more value to the vehicle than the Z1PerformanceModuleKit22Hp because at least the aforementioned crap can be seen by other people who may think it's cool. The Secret-Ninja Z1PerformanceModuleKit22Hp appears to be an under-hood accessory, consequently only the owner of the vehicle in which it is installed will know how cool they are.

 

Of course, maybe it's better if those around you don't know how "cool" you are...

Hey they can cut a small hole in the hood and mount that Secret-Ninja Z1PerformanceModuleKit22Hp right to the hood for all to see and run the wires through the hole. :jester::thumbs::cool:

scam dude. I fell for one of these scams before some transistor that supposedly gave me more horse power but it never did s**t. I would have been better off with a intake.

did anyone else notice the dyno results? whatever he had this connected to shut down at 6700 rpm before and 7200 rpm after install. I highly doubt that it was connected to a late model GM product or you could have heard the BOOM from almost anywhere.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
