"DIY Power Boost: Honda Insight Owners Hack Cars with Affordable Upgrades"
Honda Insight owners are using a "current hack" to easily tune their cars for more power by tricking the hybrid motor's controller into allowing more current flow, resulting in a 40% power increase. The hack involves modifying the Motor Control Module and Battery Control Module with resistors to deceive the controllers into reading lower current values. The cost-effective mod, usually under $100, has been successful for many, with some reporting improved acceleration and driving experience. However, its effectiveness may depend on the condition of the car and battery.
