Hi all,

Curious about chipping the 2002 Accord V6 engine? Who are the contenders? How much HP/Torque gain? Is it worth it???

Forget a chip just get a nice set of Comptech Headers for the car. They make an extra 24 peak hp to the wheels dyno proven.

This is a little excerpt cut and pasted from AEM's web site:

"Plug & Play Programmable Engine Management System
AEM's Plug & Play Engine Management System (EMS) is the first of its kind and will forever change the way you look at fuel injection tuning! This user-programmable system plugs directly into a vehicle's factory ECU harness and requires no additional wiring. Windows™-based software (2000, NT, 98, 95, ME) makes the task of copying, viewing and manipulating data as simple as a click of the mouse. User-defined templates are easily configurable and enable tuners to establish "quick keys" to any pertinent information during the tuning process. The AEM EMS's infinitely-adjustable software allows tuners to program virtually any combination of engine control, power adders and auxiliary devices, and accurately deliver proper amounts of fuel and correct ignition timing for ANY boost level or operating condition.
*Adapting hardware required for some non-factory forced induction vehicles. Plug & Play Technology - No additional wiring necessary
Installs in minutes!

Runs on Windows™ Based Software

16/32 Hybrid High-Speed Processor

Base Maps included

Onboard datalogging

Sequential Fuel Injection

Interactive, User-friendly Manual

Nitrous, Boost and Knock control

Forced induction compatible*

Made in the USA
IMPORTANT:
AEM Programmable Engine Management Systems are legal in California for off-road vehicles only and should NEVER be used on public highways."

 

To be honest with you though, I don't really know how well this system will work, sense I have never used it. I do know that it is very expensive.

Magazines like sport compact car and turbo have raved about it though. I don't know though, I don't have the extra cash to try it out, so it's all just heresay.

Well on Hondatas site they really put thes systems down because they are not as adjustable as hondas stock ecu. Unless you are making some major power a chip is really unnessassary for hondas. Get Intake header and exhaust some pulleys and the comptech supercharger and you should be plenty fast.
