right now i have added a cai a catback exhaust and a chip. i looked at a set of ground wires at 40 bucks. is it worth it to buy?

 

was that chip from ebay? , if so its probably not worth it. its just a resistor not a "chip"

get headers senes u got the intake and exhaust , as for ground wires, not too sure, i know my brother installed some in his chevy cavilair and said didnt see no diffrence, but im not sure with hondas.

 

ground wires arent gonna make any noticible difference in performance if thats what ur asking. If anything it may just be better/easier on ur electrical system, but im sure if something as simple as a ground wire could make ur car run better or anything they woulda done it from factory. If u really wanted bigger ground cables, even just go to a car audio shop and pick up some wire off them and do it urself for 1/2 the price.

 

I agree just make the wires yourself. If you do that it is actually worth it. The only way to get max power is by dyno testing different ground locations. However just upgrading the factory ground wires will give you a slightly better idle, and slightly betterperformance of electronic components. On my car I did this and the only real thing I noticed is it started quicker (I upgraded the ground to the starter). At most I have seen 5whp gains but that was dyno tuned and probably had at least a days worth of work put into it. But the pre made kits ($40-$100) are not worth it IMO.

oh and if that is an ebay "chip" i wouls take that off b/c its not really doing anything for you. All it does is trick your computer into thinking your car is running cooler than it is so it will dump more fuel into the cylinders. Only gain is fuel consumption.

 

sigh. it is a ebay chip. damnit!!! then what chips r good to buy?

lol its ok man, im not afraid to admit i did the same thing. As for whats a good acuall chip, might have to wait for some of the other people in here to take care of that. Im not to fimilar with "chips" except ebay ones

 

Really for an accord none, lol you can get those "racing chips" at radio shack They just own your fuel economy.

There's a thread on it somewhere, either here or AD where they did in depth on it. It won't hurt your engine at all, some people have claimed it smoothed the engine idle but could just be placebo effect. Do it for the hell of it?
