Hi,
my civic is a '98 160i SOHC (non - vtec) 5spd manual.
Stock standard - except for a K&N air filter. The car hasn't been dyno'd since. She is a real beauty! Honda blue and in pristine condition.
will add a pic soon.

I have read many posts now and have come to the conclusion that your car needs to be modified in order for a chip to be worth it.(By the majority of posts)

I am quite a novice at this, so any advice would be greatly appreciated
I do not know anything about odb1... and vafc? etc?.

The product I am thinking of installing is the following:

Please have a look at it and give me some advice.
They quote me R2400 ($370) for the complete setup and dyno etc.

I am not thinking of tuning my car further - maybe branches and a freeflow in the unforseeable future.but thats it. Will the chip be worth it, or should I just go with the dyno tune?

 

Hmmm, Im not so sure about that, I would do intake, exhaust, and header first, that would free up more hp, I wouldnt look at a chip until you change cam, etc.

 

shot for the reply man, will keep that in mind...

 

yeah, i'd also try modifying the intake, header, exhaust and thottle body (if it applies).

 

hm... yea got to go whit the other guys on your motor the most a chip gonne do is like 6-7 hp so for that amount of money u better of goin whit some headers and a racing cat

 

yea before you do any chipping, i/h/e would be a good place to start. then cam and intake manifold with throttle body. then maybe chip it.
