You were told you can add a resistor to the air fuel plug to add horse power on a 240 sx how would you go about doing it?

The "air fuel plug" is an oxygen sensor. It works by sending between 0 and 1 volt to the cars computer. Putting a resistor on the O2 sensor will not add horsepower; most O2 sensors cannot produce more than 1 volt. If a resistor is added it will cause the car to register more rich so it will add less fuel and actually run lean. Running lean will cause higher combustion temprature and in the long term cause premature seal failier. Its a stupid idea....take the time to browse the forums and figure out some mods that have been done by others. Do not add any resistors to the car for the reason of "adding performance" (eg. MAF, water temp) they will not any real HP, WILL cause harm to the car, and you will make all of us other 240 guys look bad. -keys

2 resistors unequal value are in parallel. Would the power dissipated by the resistor with larger ohmic value be greater than the power dissipated by the resistor of lesser value?
No, because the power dissipated in a resistor is proportional to the square of the current through the resistor but only directly proportional to the resistance of the resistor (I^2 * R) and the current through the lower value resistor will be higher than the current through the higher value resistor, the lower value resistor will usually dissipate more power.
No power at the blower motor resistor?
Since you're checking the resistor, I would assume you checked the fuse/relay for the blower motor. If not check that. If you have then there would be an open wire between the relay and the resistor.
A 5 ohm resistor a 10 ohm resistor and a 15 ohm resistor are connected in series to a 120 volt power source. What is the amount of current flowing between the 5 ohm resistor and the 10 ohm resistor?
The current would be about 20 volts.
What is equivalent wattage when different wattage resistors are connected in parallel?
In order to determine this, it will be necessary to find which resistor 'maxes out' at the lowest voltage. This can be found using the equation Vi=sqrt (Pi*Ri) for each resistor, where Pi is the power rating of resistor i and Ri is the value of resistor i. Once this is found, the power dissipation of each other resistor can be found using the equation Pi=(Vl^2)/Ri, where Vl is the voltage that maxes out the resistor which maxes out at the lowest voltage, and Ri is the resistance of each resistor. The equivalent power rating would then be the sum of the power dissipated across each resistor.
How much horse power do you have with 14 psi on a 96 stock turbo?
You need more information to find out how much horse power there would be. There would be a variety of horse power concerning what engine the turbo was on.
What is the purpose of a resistor in a regulated power supply?
Need more information - a typical regulated power supply would include dozens of resistors, each for one of several different reasons. Which resistor are you asking about?
What is the power rating of a resistor?
The power rating of a resistor determines how much power it can dissipate without being damaged. For example, a 1/4W resistor is designed to handle up to 1/4W continuously without being destroyed. When selecting a resistor to use in a circuit, use Ohm's law to calculate the power it will dissipate. For example, placing a 1kΩ resistor across a 12VDC signal will allow 12/1000 = 0.012A to flow thru the resistor. 0.012*12 = 0.144W will be dissipated. Thus, a 1/8W (0.125W) resistor would not be sufficient, and a 1/4W (0.25W) must be used.
Why would your car have no horse power?
if it had no engine
A 1.2 k ohms resistor is placed across an 18-V source The minimum acceptable power rating for the resistor is?
1/2 watt (In theory you could use a "0.27 Watt" resistor, however there would be no safety factory and there is no standard value resistor that size.)
What is the average horse power for go-karts?
it really depends on what engine you put on it if you out a 6.5 hp on it it would have that much horse power.
What is mean the 50 bhp?
The car or scooter as a out of 50bhp brake horse power so with this horse power you would not be allowed on the motaway with that
What is the max voltage for 3 50ohm resisters?
Depends on their power rating. 50 volts across a 50 ohm resistor means 1 amp, 50 Watts, which would need quite a big resistor to deal with that power.
