Re: 1997 Civic chip?
What modifications do you have to your engine that will make use of a performance chip?
The best chips available are those that are custom made buy a tuner for an OBD1 ECU that has been modified to be tuned/chipped. If you have emissions testing that requires a computer scan the OBD1 ECU is out of the question. Most of the Ebay or "performance chips" that you can buy already programmed and state that they make xx amount of Hp on a stock engine are a waste of time.

Do your self a favor and don't spend money on the B.S. "chips" or "modules" that increase power and hp for any car etc... They are snake oil.
