General URGENT question about Fiat Bravo
let me guess,you are adding 10 to the power of 20,000bhp with an ebay resistor? :chin:
Do you know where to plug that resistor? I want to know where I plug it please
Thank you
there is only 1 way to install a resisitor that will give a benefit and maintian the car's varying temp signal, that is to wire it up in series to the temp sensor.
the connector on the top of the throttle case has 2 wires for the temp sensor (and other wires for other things), chop either of these 2 and add the resistor inline with the wire. i'm not sure which 2 wire colours are the 2 wires for the temp sensor, so use a bit of detective work

Nice mate!
Very helpfull!! So the resistor plugs in the nr 5 at the picture am i right?
Thank you
yes, the temp sensor (number 5) has 2 wires that both go to the ecu.
you should chop one of these wires, and then add the resistor to it.
this will increase the overall resistace of the circuit, making the ecu think the air is cooler.
the ecu will then increase fueling and advance ignition, giving slightly better performance.
if you arent sure which wire to cut ( i think there are 4 on the conector ) check a haynes manual wiring diagram

the 1.4 is a bad engine anyway, how much faster can i destroy it with a resistor?:devil:

so I will have to cut wires???
exactly how would you think you would do it without?
In this car and in most cars --> http://upload7.postimage.org/672214/photo_hosting.html I won't have to cut wires. Just have to unplug the IAT cable and plug the resistor to the cable conector. as simple as this
i cant believe you are still intent on fitting this???did you read the link in my sig.
Did you even read the link in custard's sig? :bang:

i gave up and assumed i was being ignored,sigh its like being at home
No you don't have to cut any cables. What you need to do is sign the bottom of your V5 and send it along with the blue and red keys (if you have them) to me.
In return I will send you the keys and V5 for a Citroen Paxo.

its built into the throttle case, the following pic shows it clearly.

If you've read up the info and still wish to go ahead with it, and i assume you have then follow Jugs advice. You'll have to cut the wire as jug says others have tried this many times and hasnt given gains as only dumps more fuel in, there is a way to get it to work but i means doing it specifically for your car and driving style and any time anyone mentions it the thread gets deleted.
Debate is good, so i dont believe threads should be deleted, unless they are one sided and providing miss information, which they certainly dont on here.
The 1.4 is never going to be that fast it has so many problems, and adding in more fuel might make some of them worse, so you need to read the pros and cons of doing anything.
