hey guys i want to possibly look into getting alittle more power without boosting because i dont have the money or the time for that, i figured besides bolt ons this would be the next best way to go? Anyone know what chip i could get add some extra ponies on..any info helps, thanks

They will just make you fat and pimpley. Stay Away.

hope your not talking about those resistors on ebay

Whats wrong with resistors?? Thats old school, and they work. Adding ponies not so much, but i can feel a definite difference in throttle response and Mpg...

i didnt know you could feel mpg.

cheap = broke

Lawl Blake. Crack me up nugga.

Yeah yeah yeah so i forgot a few words...

1. They're most likely just advancing your timing a whole heck of a lot more than you should.
2. They're probably using horribly incorrect fuel amounts.
3. Just wait till your OBD2 ECU converts BACK to stock settings WITH the chip still in place. Then you'll see that the $(insert amount paid) you spent was completely wasted.


+3 no chips


Your best be would be to grab an OBD1 ECU, conversion harness and get it tuned. That way, you get "safe" power that lasts.

Yeeeah Piggybacks...ehh...I had an Apex'i VAFC for a few months and hated it. Just save your money and get a full tune.

It uses the IAT. It just makes the ecu think the air coming in is more dense than it is, resulting in less fuel consumption, and a better burn. I would'nt be surprised if the stoich is better than the factory...

P.s. Cheap = Cheap, a of couple of wires and resistor doesnt require a 6 figure salary to afford. Broke = the condition of my heart from getting trashed from someone 3000 miles away... Huh yeah right.

it manipulates MAP voltage. Not IAT

so in conculsion chips are baad, mmmmkaayy?

yo orbs if you already have decent bolt ons, why wont you just go get it properly tuned on a Hondata ecu (or your choice) just my thought

chips are not bad as long as you take the extra step and tune your engine since that is the ultimate point of getting an ecu chipped and socketed

I say enjoy your bolt ons and if you really want some more umph save a bit of money and get a strong tuning software/system and go at it with another ECU.

your only option would be to use a piggy cause your going to want to keep atts right?

were can i get an OBD1 ecu and a conversion harness??
