i have a 99 civic vti-s with a b18c4 engine in it. i cant find a chip for it anywhere, some one said i might have to get a new ecu. can anyone help?

They don't sell "chips" for Hondas. You'd have to get your ECU reflashed by somebody with a clue. Why do you need a chip?

robpreludevtec220

need more power

Well, sucks to be you. It doesn't quite work that way.

Anything done to the motor?

Read what the guy above you said, you don't need a new ECU... you can just get it re-flashed.. there are no chips...

i have a full stainless steel exhaust with a decat, 4-2-1 manifold and induction kit.

It depends where you are man, prices vary for what you want to do, if your gonna get it tunned properly but for what you have it would be a waste of money

Well I suggest before you think of doing anything, is to read on the site, the different sections and Articles, all motor, forced induction.. because you obviously don't know what to do, and I'm not going to tell you what to do.. So your best bet is to just ask questions and learn, don't rush into anything

lmao, an intake will be more worth it on ur setup than a chipped ECU

It's only really neccessary if ur boosting or going heavy all motor build.....I wouldn't worry about it if I were you, it seems u got the wrong idea, u got this idea like "if i get my ECU 'reflashed' my car will be like super fast" -- and that's not really how it'll work at all, if u get ur car tuned on a dynometer by somebody that knows hondas really well u'll be lucky to pull 10 horses out of ur set up, the only thing u got going for u is that engine's pretty fast...but never-the-less, it's like putting an exhaust (like u have) on a stock engine (which u have) and expecting madd horsepower gains..it doesn't work that way...
