Default ECU upgrades

Searching Ebay I have come across many of these "little black boxes" that supposedly increase your horsepower to bring out the true beat you have etc etc. Question being do install any of these boxes actually improve things, or will your motor essentially blow up after using one? Anybody used em or tried em at all?

You shoulda searched this topic first. But you're answer is: stay away from them. Evidently they're pieces of crap.

Don't know much about the ebay things, but it's best to stick with something tried and true. There are VAFC's or free tuning software is available like uberdata, crome, etc. or you can always get Hondata or an EMS.

P.S. I'm selling a hondata stage 4b, link is in the sig
