I have been lookin at these chips on ebay and i was wondering if they are legit ? Do they real do what they say ? 7 - 20 hp increase for 40.00 dollars *wow*. Is it worth it to buy one ? What kinda history do some of you have with them ?

Few links on ebay with the p-chip :

i dunno man liek they say wit alot of aftermarket parts sometimes u get what u pay for and it seems a lil to good to be true but hey they sell them electric turbos on ebay too sayin they werk....

Basically they give you a resistor that you use to fool the ECU into thinking that the air coming into the engine is colder then what it really is thus advancing timing.

Waste of money IMO. It might do more harm to you're motor then good.

Has anyone acctually had one of these installed, would u recommend it ?

yea i dnut think it be a good idea for it i mean if u want just get a afc and tune it but wit a dx there is really no reason jsut save up and get a swap

i am going to do the mini me conversion real soon. How much Hp do you think i would have with a d16 head on a d15 block with H/E/I, ngk plugs ?

I have one. It made my car miss in the low gears but I could definately feel more power. If you get it make sure you have upgraded spark plugs and wires.

In general, leaning out the fuel/oxygen ratio will cause a power loss, but fuel economy gain, conversely richening the mix will cause a slight (usually less than 1/2 mpg) reduction in fuel economy, but an increase in power. </TD></TR></TABLE>

that statement sorta makes me think those things are B.S....

It's a waste of money, the only difference you will see is poor gas mileage.
to ebay chips!

P.S. If you really wanted to do it you could just buy the resistor from radio shack for a buck. I'm still not recommending it!!!

The only thing the ebay chips are good for is changing your vtec crossover(if u have vtec) and changing your rev limiter, but your motor will be runnin EXTREMELY RICH and lacking performance because of that!

Please don't call that a "chip". Those things are a 15 cent resistor from radioshack wrapped in a fancy package. Check my link and make one for yourself:

They are a poor method for increasing power.

Do not i repeat do not buy them those things are not worth the money, whats going to happen is that u will end up messing up sensor!
