Hello Guy's Nice site.
(newbie) " I've read a little bit about this thread and i'm confused about the chip. When taking the car to a tunner is he not tricking the ECU regarding A/F mixture etc...? This is not a challenge to your knowledge just trying to understand the best possible route for my XSI. I want the most out of the B16 without boost or NOS.
Thanks in advance

no its not really tricking, more like telling your ECU to provide more fuel, adjusting the spark, and doing various other things. Its necesarry if you are boosting an engine so that you can provide enough fuel to match all the air coming into the engine. On a stock engine though it will not make much of a difference and the price you pay to have your car tuned wont be worht the gains.

Not to be funny....but I have a 98 Honda Civic Ex. .... I have had my Juice box for now 10 Months..... NO PROBLEM AT ALL! I have did LOTS of traveling and street racing on my stock engine.... no check light came on, no Engine BLOWN, no IAT sensor fried. YES, my car is a automatic but the box has perform well for me. But I don't advise no one to get it JUST because of my experience I had with the Juice Box.

Now after all that is said, AND after reading this topic fully. I may take everyone advice and take it off.

Is there any safe chip u can purchase than? i been reading thsi whole thing and u guys say that the ebay chips are bad, Juice box is back. getting ur stock engine tune is not worth the gain. so what the best thing u can do than? there has to be an safe chip u can purchase. is Hondata the only safe thing?
