It's the chip that increases hp by tricking your motor into thinking its running cooler than it actually is-- causing damage. There are already some good topics on this mod.... search

search: chip or ebay chip this has been covered many times....it doesn't do anything really, for the people that think it does it is called a "placebo effect" it is all in your head.

Its just a resistor that you buy a radio shack for 5 for a 1.00 If you want the correct resistor Ill just post what exactly number it is but it take me a few min to find one.

you get what you pay for, go by that from now on. and if it's a simple thing like that, then there's most likely no actual research which means it's probably worse for your engine than not installing it

question: if that makes the engine think it's running cooler, will VTEC even engage? i know there's several sensors involved, and i believe temp is one of them

You've got to be an idiot to buy something like that. Look at the misleading ad already. Says its the secret of racers, etc.

Come on. If you believe in that crap, then you deserve to get ripped off.
