As my screen name says, I have a 00 civic ex. It have the d16y8 in it. I want to chip my ecu, but my question is, is it worth it? Will I gain som HP from it? Will rev limit be higher or what? Lastly does anyone know where I can get it chipped for a good price? Thanks.

 

Your car is OBDII, so you can't chip this unless you swap to an OBDI ECU. And if your motor is stock, you won't gain anything from doing this.

 

No, not worth it for your Y8

 

anything I can do besides intake and exhaust to get some power out if it? Have you guys heard of those AEM pulley kits? What do they do? What about a cam gear if I got one of those, would it do anything.

 

Turbo

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOST!

 

Yea I was thinking of that, but for now I just want to go N/A

 

Get a cam

in that case...camshafts and cam gears would be a good start...skunk 2 IM...

 

Have any of you ever heard of the brands; zex, obx, and bomz racing cams? Are they any good?

 

it's a D series, just learn it, like I did, unless u used forced induction (turbo) it has NO potential with bolt ons unless u dump tons and tons and tons of money into it (and even then u'll only run 12's)

swap or turbo, don't try to build up the D series w/ bolt ons, because nothing will happen

and no, the chipped ECU won't do anything for that engine stock...nor will intake or exhausts..

 

Chipped ecu on stock engine......not worth it. Won't see any big gains.

I suggest turbocharging your ride.
