Performance chips?

[Bildo]

JUst wondering about all these performance chips i see for my car. Like the ones i see on ebay. Has anyone installed one of these and i dont mean the $400 ones. I know i may sound cheap but i hear all these great review on them but im still quite the sceptic.

With a JWT chip, you might see 5-10hp on an otherwise stock car. Maybe a bit more with upgraded intake/exhaust. With an ebay chip, you probably won't see anything.

I got the Z1 chip. I got no real opinion on it though.

NA's don't really benefit from a reflash. Now a TT on the other hand...

Ahh, a new ECU tune is probably the best upgrade fro the TT ever. 50-60HP gains. But for an N/A, it's a useless expensive because you'll just have to flash it again for the TT swap. And we all know nobody (cept' Honad) buys an N/A with the intent of keeping it N/A (N/A VG30, that is.)

Mine is N/A and will stay that way

Mines staying a N/A. lol

yeah mine is staying that way too, but im still looking for more hp/torque without tearing the engine apart. Ive currently have injen intake, headers with magnaflow the rest of the way back. Im assuming ill have to upgrade my computer and these performance chips on ebay claim to do that and more. Jst looking for tips and hopefully from some people who've done it

If you're staying NA, f*** power. Get some nice wheels, proper stance, clean paint, j-spec front/tails and a nice sounding/looking exhaust. You could put $5k into you NA motor and still get beat by a golf GTI. Seriously, your NA will not make any power without a lot of money thrown at it, it's better to just have a nice looking clean daily driver.

Build a high compression NA motor and VZZZZzzzz away! Though, that will also cost more than a silly EPROM u can get for 2.99 in silicon valley I call pamelas tits

I found a N/A stroker kit to 10 grand lol

[labcoatmonkey]

cams are a bit (alot) cheaper a full stroker kit would not be worth the power increase AT ALL imho!!

[car nut]

Neither would cams. If you want power, buy a TT or swap it.
