nah, i know it works because first i timed it but also when u slam the gas the car just goes no hesitation which takes time.


That's because you have an automatic. The only useful thing a chip will do to a car is reduce hesitation in autos.

Other than that, you DO NOT need to chip your car if you only have an I/H/E

However, if you have a turbo, low-comp pistons, stage III cams, full valvetrain, and nitrous, you will need to at least have it tuned if not chipped.

Yea there is a difference. You can chip a ecu all you want with a chip that has a crap program on it and no that is not tuned

Thank you guys. You answered my question. don't do it. I ran across the ebay chips friday, and I was wondering if it was worth it.

Hey, i had just recently purchased a chip for my civic (completely oblivious to anything) just lookin for a little more power.. it was similar to this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-Civic-Accord-CRX-Element-Pilot-Performance-Chip_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ107070QQihZ009QQitemZ190107508643QQrdZ1 ..is this what all of you were talking about, these things?? its not just a resistor, but it does "fool" the car into thinking the air is cooler and it wires up to the IAT sensor... any comments would be helpful before i either install or re-sell this thing.. thanks!
