i knew someone who chipped their Nissan Primera SRi and it did bugger all to his performance. It just made it more un-economical.

I want to chip my ecu, but I can't decide what flavor. Any suggestions?

wow this would have been great to know. so i dont have a box or resistor. it was a 28 prong chip, 20 prong chip, jumper and a resistor i had to sodder to my ecu. you all saychips are bad but it said that the chip was tuned for my car with headers, exhaust and an intake which is what i have. it was cheap like 20 bucks shipped. the spots i put them in at were empty spots in my ecu. it deffinatly pulls alot harded i feel a big differance. how bad are these for my car. i got one that did not dissable my knock sensor cuz that sounded sketchy to me. it said it ajusts the fuel curv and timming curve for more power.

i'm going to go with boost, and therefor tuning is going to be a must. I am probably going to go hondata as opposed to just an ebay chip. i have heard nothing but good things about hondata products, but wanted to know if any is using their system, or if anyone has negative feedback on their ecu's.

I've got a 99EX D16 boosted. I'm running about 11psi on stock motor, tuned by me. I've done more research than I can handle, but I've learned a lot. I have read/heard nothing but good things about Hondata, except for the prices. I personally went with Crome. Not sure what car you have, but with mine I went with the OBD2 to OBD1 conversion harness, P28 chipped ecu.
I like Crome because it was free(& rev limiter, speed limiter, full throttle shifts, CEL shift light, launch control, boost cut)!!ha Will soon be upgrading to Crome Pro($150). Even with Crome free I can tune in real time, then when I get things where I like them I just burn 1 chip and install it and I'm done. With Crome Pro you can also datalog, which will make things MUCH easier and faster to tune properly. Although, if you don't know what your doing when tuning, I highly suggest getting it done by someone who does. One wrong number and KABOOM!!!!!!
