civic chip

I have all the basics in my 99 SI (CAI/manifold/header/exhaust) and wanted to know what chip to put in.
I really don't want to fork over more than $500

A chip will do you no good with the mods you have.

Re: civic chip (elihudude)

have you considered getting an OBDI ecu and Hondata? not exactly cheap, but a crucial step if you plan to do more mods.

Re: civic chip (chowmien)

what would you recommend next? A friend said look into it and obviously the claims of "INSTANT 20+ HORSEPOWER" does sound appealing but not if it won't work with what i got.

the instant 20 hp will come at the cost of having to run premium fuel all the time. do an afc and get some tuning done that will compliment what you have.
