I had bought the eco fuel saver and all it did was flash lights, even with the key off. At night the flashing lights were so bright it was distracting our driving. After seeing some videos on this and realized it was a scam, I sent it back and luckily got my money back. Thank you for testing and proving these are a scam.

Nice study. I'm an electrical engineer. This guy did his homework and made a legitimate bust of product. Made in China = no truth in advertising.

I have a 1984 Marlboro NXT and I plugged this device into it and noticed my sigarettes do burn longer and blow more smoke I am very happy with my Nitro chip

I have tuned cars manually, with carburetors and ignition timing etc, I have owned legitimate programmers for newer vehicles,such as the bully dog that does in fact work.. I seen this chip and was interested, but sceptical. after doing some research, I am glad I found this video. thank you very much for your time and effort.

Guy,you are very smart. Congrats for destroying this obd2 scam in a very technical way

Mr. VW. You are knowledgeable. I always enjoy reading the truth, and you've hit a home run.

I love how most of these comments are bots or spam accounts trying to say that it "works"

Thank you i almost bought one for 40$ good thing i watched this video before making the purchase

LOL “i guess 55 would be to many” 😂😂😂😂

What this does is to do the “Passive” ECU reset that is currently included in every modern car. I’ll tell you why you don’t need this tool. It’s very simple. It works like this: You simply turn the ignition ON (without starting the engine). Hold the gas pedal all the way in for more than 5 seconds. Preferably 30 seconds. Without depressing the gas pedal, turn the ignition Off. Let the gas pedal go. Wait about 1 min. Start the engine. This will reset the user learning habits of the ECU. In conclusion, yes this device is a scam, what this device does is just to activate a simple code via OBD which is “Holding the Gas pedal sensor all the way in”. So that when you turn the car on you Kinda feel a difference. Yes it is noticeable for those that owned a car for at least few years and have never perform an ECU learning habit reset. And that’s why the PCB in this device is so simple and useless.

After plugged this device my rpm not goes above 2k in top gear & also down my vehicle's initial pickup

I'am Your Newest Subscriber I Thought I Really Wanted To Buy One Of These . My 2012 Eco Chevy Cruze 6 Speed Manual Driving 55-60 Mph AC OFF I Get 50 Mpg Interstate I Was Hoping To Buy This And Get Even More

it also says, drive “150-200 miles” before getting the effect?

Whats most interesting is the wood panelled & velour seating serial killers basement.

thanks for clearing this out and saving the shit ass 20$ this thing might have cost, crappy ad from facebook said this would be a miracle, but it end up being fake news, thanks again, cheers mate

Thanks for the video it’s brilliant. I just mentioned a few things you pointed out and asked for my money back. It was back in my account within 10 minutes.

Bought one before seeing the video. Wonder if its possible to sue for false advertising?

I was looking at the performance chip, but just doesn't make sense. If it work it would be accepted in the auto industry.

Thank you for taking the time making this video. Why is this sold in America?

Sir I installed on my 2018 mustang gt you may not believe me but my mustang jumps from 4K to 7k instantly and smokes tires to third gear

All those who disliked the video are the dealers/sellers

Its just fake security light for your vehicle, its all it for does not work, I bought this , don't waste your money !!

When I saw this advertised I thought it was too good to be true....but maybe not. But now with your expertise I know it is a bin job!!

I'd really like to see what you do with that nitro obd2

Hi, towaards the end of your video, you mention building this dongle out using a raspberry zero or similar...i'd really like to do something useful with this garbage i have so could you point me to any followup videos/DIY howtos/maybe a shared project area specifically addressing this adapter and how to actually make it do SOMETHING. Cheers in advance

Hi. My friend also tried to debunk this device. On the bench we found nothing but just a blinking device. did many bench test, ecu simulation and signal interception. same result as what you get. got another two units with different repackaging and replicate the test. same result. we actually did indirectly stir a big issue in my nations automotive community when publishing the result. many haters with hands-on experience slam us big time defending that they experience difference after using. we repeated the above bench test and it still yield the same result and the whole keyboard war was ongoing for weeks. the last straw came when we decided to plug into an actual ecu rather than a simulator then monitor the ecu behaviour. surprise. the flashing led did trigger changes to the ecu. what we found in less than a minute the ecu keeps resetting. As we dug deeper, we discover this simple small device is actually sending out an error or voltage to the ecu. You can see from the board that some of the obd pins are actually connected. as such, we believe the ecu initiates it's resets mode without triggering ecu check engine light. conclusion from our studies. this device partially works. it inhibits your ecu from trying to learn or run adaptive mode. forcing your car to run the factory tune and settings all the time. what is not true is the bold claim of increase power and reduced consumption. hope this puts the whole myth down to rest.

Should have read this b4 I purchased one. Cost me $11 and now I will chuck it in the rubbish.

Well thanks to your video I wont be buying this junk. I see so many with claims of gains but in real life you get nadda off the junk that is sold. Only way to get true gains taking to a mod shop and having car remapped if it can be remapped or bigger gains turbo or supercharger :)

if you waned moar power: 1.CAI (cold air induction) 2.Good fuel and oil 3.reflash the ecu (this will work for sure), *not by plugging this device!*

Can someone recommend one that is a reputable product? I'm thinking a hardware performance/fuel savings switch on the plug-side somewhere hard to switch when it's plugged in (of course you could always wire it to the big red button in your reversible cup holder). Or just a fuel-saver version, as there's probably a lot of delivery drivers who would be scammed by these fake products.

This is NOT A scam !!!!! I fitted 1 of these to my Bugatti Chiron and got an ADDITIONAL 1000BHP !!!!!

93 Chinese scammers disliked this video! maybe a few fools who bought this too lol

Agree, very strong and sound basis to your reasoning. I installed a similar brand given to me, on my GM vehicle and piggy backed through first a Monica, then a tech 2 and observed data even though processed, for variation under identical testing. Keep your money and spend it on quality oil and filters. Cold air induction would give a good result rather than a resistor to the IAT circuit

Thanks man Ur the best. I was thinking they'd just be a scam.

I've seen where people have used these types of "enhancers" and tested them on a dyno. They get the same results. These are nothing but a placebo effect if anything. Wouldn't it be better to have a sticker on your dashboard that says don't drive like a maniac and then you would have better fuel savings.

Scam. My mechanic says you're asking for trouble. You Never, EVER leave anything plugged into the OBD port. Why aren't these scammers being arrested and put out of business?😠😠😡😡

The 16 up rx350 suffers from driveability issues, hesitation, stumbling on acceleration. I plugged in a power tune module, all bad habits are gone. I talked with power tune, they said it slightly raises ignition timing. That’s all it needs.

I bought one like an idiot my question is can i take this off with out damage to my ecu

What next performance chip technology ? Di-lithium Crystals from U.S.S Enterprise, warp drive your car! Lol.

Just by reading the back of this seems like bullshit do any of these chips help with better fuel economy? Anyone tried to review the wind booster? Like u don't want a hp increase I was better mpg

Maybe this didn’t work for you but these chips do work I’ve had one in 2 cars and can tell the difference right away

Wow! Great job bro!

Looks like someone found the perfect use for some obsolete microchips, add some LED's, hey, you got a product, costs not much, brings good profit, entertains people and doesn't do much else, like a lot of similar products.. LOL, I just save some cash, thanks

Thank you for such a great video

Thank you so much! Order cancelled!

Glad I got mine for free from the junk yard. Put it in my Dodge 5.2. still waiting on results. Haha

So what's a good tuner cost?

So you have to drive 200km in km OR 241km in miles . That's discriminating.

If it can’t do anything why not put it on a car…what’s the worry.

Can you make one for a 2001 gmc serria 2500hd with the 8.1l alison trans

Need dyno proof

I think that all the ones who in fact bought this bunk product, should be legally allowed to beat the person who sells this until they shit themselves.

I have a 2006 dodge 1500 hemi. It has destroyed my computer. My RPMs and temp are all outta wack. And Check Engine light is on saying ECU problem

Nice musical intro..Rock on!😊

So this means I can sue for false advertisement

6 cylinder engine car. Lost performance. Only 4 cylinder engine are working. To save gas ⛽ and money

Sugar pill

If you were unfortunate enough to be taken in by this scam device, the big scam marketers offer a money back guarnatee. I chased down their number and they said they will refund the money. I also reported it to the FTC formally. Let's see if this nonsense goes on. Please report these to the FTC and get your money back on ebay.

If these things actually worked don't you think that car manufacturers would fit similar? Think of the selling point for their cars over the competitors. That they don't is telling in itself.

Throw a uart on the back and and see if signals are moving.

Thank you I almost bought one

Almost failed for it. You can't have both Horsepower and Fuel Economy.

I'm definitely sharing this

Well I just got scammed out of $45. Oh well

Thanks bro great job God bless you!

Just by reading the back of the pack you can tell it's a rip off.

Modern cars get no performance boost whatsoever by swapping out computer components. Such a scam.

love it ! great vid man ;-}

Why am I not surprised. Anything that offers to give you more power and save you fuel economy has got to be bogus.

1:41.... just wait fir a while (alarm bells)

Fake chip with no microchip

an 02 Silverado 2500 hd with the 8.1 litre engine and Allison transmission.

It works on my toyota succeed 2008 ncp51. After 200km drived. My car power is amazingly increased. I didnt enhanced any thing to my car before 200 km drived because I want to know whether it will work or not. But It works. I am from Myanmar. Not chinese. I also not dealer or seller. Whatever I love it work on my car.

And it is written in the same font as the fuel saver scam obd thing

For $20 you going to burn the computer of your truck

Its very very very gooooood ship to light cars

Is there a Nitro chip or ECU chip that's pretty cheap that does work??

DECENT REVIEW.......tWO THUMBS UP !

I feal like a dumass fro looking this up after i bought it

those guys who had created this stuff just made another junk for this earth.

Installed today on a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer performance gains were noticed almost 1 mile down the road. Sorry but the chip works in my car.

I’m glad I watched this vid thanks i was gonna buy one

I'm sorry but don't agree with you, in order to process information it must first receive information from the on-board PCM and the live data from the drive train itself, I purchased the Nitro OBD2 and it does work, granted it does'n give 35% more power it did give a noticeable amount of power and 2 more mpg in my 2002 Chevy Silverado HD 2500 with the 8.1l gas engine which is a fuel consuming monster, the LED lights flash intermittently during the driving of my truck and even act differently during hard acceleration, I also noticed a totally different pattern and increased pulling torque during tow/haul mode I'll stand by this claim, I'm not making fun of you or saying your lying, maybe you just got a bad unit or a knock off.

Thanks Sending mines back!

It's nitro though. More powerful than eco.

It may not seem like it does anything on a bench, but it halved my transmission's shift times and increased my milage by about 2 mpg. It's definitely increasing torque, but not by the amount your packaging claims. Speaking of which, my packaging says "up to" on the torque and power claims. Perhaps you bought one of the cheap rip offs?

My chip actually works

button. Not “buttom”

All I’m saying is I bought this nitro chip it’s on my 2004 rsx currently and there is definitely a difference my car accelerates a lot faster than before and I’m not burning as much gas as before as I use 93-97 octane in my car this guy admitted to not using it on a car and thus could not know if it actually works and also could have gotten a broken product as it happens to a lot of people think bout it be about it don’t half ass shit like this kid and then blame the product for the bad results

This one its a fake!The original have to parts,and the ship its bigger...

read the comments. dont watch. 😅

Awesome study

So is it realy works or just nothing ?

V8 can use

Blonde Raider - Why is it sold anywhere?

Thanks man

try it on vehicle like I did, it works I don't care what anyone thinks, if you don't try it don't waste my time!

To funny mate.. So good..

It does work the original one on my ml blew and to replace it was nearly 300 sods spent 5 sods on eBay and 6 months later still going strong

Guy looks like he's from vice city
