"super" chips?
Has anyone tried the chips in the 93-95 civics? I gotta a 94 coupe w/ the 1.6 VTEC, and was wondering if the chips on eBay are worth anything. Just looking for a bolt-on to increase my pep a little bit. Any opinions are welcome. I just don't want to waste my money...

We've had discussions about those chips on here before (if you do a search) and you only get what you pay for. You're much better off going with a name brand chip. BTW, I don't believe a chip will do much for a stock engine. I wouldn't invest in a chip unless I had a few mods done at least.

what's a decent chip cost? I see them from $5 to $50. And then some of them talk about getting your ECU reprogrammed. I was just wondering. And no I'm not starting out with an el-cheapo. I know to stay away from those. I was wondering about the nicer ones. And which ones to try to get.

would this be what I'm looking for?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1 this would be money well spent if its worth it... |
RE: "super" chips?
thats the right idea... i dont know if i would trust them. but you do need to replace or burn a new chip into the pcm if you want a real chip and real power and no damage.

i got one of those chips from ebay and it was a piece of ****....my mechanic, that knows how to do everything couldnt even do it...he said if he put it in, which it would have been in the air intake, it would have messed up the numbers on the ecu so its a no go most likely

RE: "super" chips?
it sends the computer into open loop. sometimes that will send more fuel and air into the engine.
|
RE: "super" chips?
its a resistor that is placed in the iat sensor socket and it sends a certain voltage back to the computer that reads the air temperature at 40* F or so.... at least this is the information i have gathered.... its very pointless to actually do this...
|
RE: "super" chips?
Yes you are right it tells the ecu that the air is cooler than what it is which in turn sends more fuel because the cooler the air the more dense it is. you not only dont get any hp gains with this but your gas mileage begins to suffer.

RE: "super" chips?
So it's not actually the "chip" that goes into the air intake as karlos0221 stated above?
|
RE: "super" chips?
the iat is a sensor in the air intake system, it reads the incoming air temperature
|
RE: "super" chips?
NO not actually innnn the air intake it self....its where one of the electrical wires goes into the pipe, and then some how, u have to put it in there...
