96 and up civics use an "OBDII" ecu - which cannot be chipped. That is your problem. If you REALLY want a chip - you will have to buy a "OBDI" ecu (92-95 civic (P28)) - and have it chipped - and then buy a 250 dollar conversion harness so you can plug it in.

So pretty much - you aren't going to get shit out of a chip - unless you have a shitload of mods and/or FI. That setup I described will run you about five hundred all together. I have pretty much all the boltons - and i'm in the process of getting a cam - so an ecu chipped will be beneficial to me. If I had to do it again - I would get a stand- alone type module. I think you can get used DFI for about the same price as I paid for all that shit.

What mods do you have?

you should just keep yours unless your making a lot of power...then look into hondata...chipped ecu's aren't the greatest thing in the world.

94 civic chip

I found some ecu chips on ebay. I have a 94 civic LX 4dr. Should I get a chip or not? Worth it?

I have a 92 Si hatch and I have seen those chips on Ebay also. So what I am hearing is that unless you have a performance cam a chip won't do much good. I just have the normal bolt ons, no FI or internal build up...plus I'm a little concerned about messing up my ECU while installing the new chip.

What to do.....

bettr off buying a V-AFC or S-AFC and just tunign it. chips don't do anything to slight all motor applications. and if you're turbo/super, you don't want a chip, you want standalone fuel management.

sooo....

so are the racing chips on ebay worth it or not? i have a stock 98 prelude (5spd)... from what i read on this post im gathering a racing chip is not going to help much? ... and further more .... it would be bad for my ecu?
please let me know since i am considering buying one.
thanks.

ebay chips are NOT worth it

LET ME REPEAT IT....EBAY CHIPS ARE NOT WORTH IT.


i suggest in getting a obd1 ecu or a vafc.

hey if we cant use the same chips in obd2 ecu. wtf is those jet chips people always talk about? i see them in magazines but never seen anyone use them. are they shit or wat?

but as for ecu chips i heard katman makes pretty good ones or kenji from honda tech. and hyperducktuning
