Was just wonderin' if any of you have ever chipped your accord and where did u get it? would like to know how to do it and where to get one... never worked on a Honda ECU before...

 

i don't think you can expect very much, i'm not sure it would be worth it. There's not Vtec to control....so that cannot be elevated/tuned....all you could really do is change air/fuel....money might be better spent elsewhere....but it is your car.

goodluck

 

i plan to chip my lx, but thats after a vtec moto swap, ya prolly no gains on your non vtec unless you have alot of boltons like headers and intake. but one word for you.......phearable.net

 

Well thanks but regardless, i dont have the money for an h22a right now so im going to buy everything and then get that and drop my current engine into another car later then start over... so im trying to get as much HP out of it as i can right now...

 

Accords are not STI's or performance cars

There's no way to *free* up random horsepower by chipping.

/thread.

 

true but i will get HP out of it either way so it doesnt matter... if i have to replace the engine later i will... What is STI? never heard that before.

 

Listen, you are going to spend $$$ to get much power out of motor. To get MAYBE 10hp, we're talking just as much money as an H swap would cost. If you can't afford an H swap now, then it doesn't make much sense spending that kind of cash trying to gain 10hp. Seriously, it's just dumb.

NO, YOU WILL NOT "GET HP OUT OF IT". So, it DOES matter. If you've got money to blow, then you wouldn't be here asking this rediculous question over and over. No matter how you ask it, YOU WILL NOT SEE EXCESS HP. Stop wasting every one's time.


/drunk rant...

 

WRX STI

do you live under a rock lol?

 

"sti"....
Subaru Impreza..... the WRX one.... STI is the powerful one.... the top of the line of the WRX's....

 

wow now i know what ur talking about, i thought u meant like an engine or something sorry... lol

 

If you plan on swapping an H22A in later, there is still no point in chipping your car now, you're going to need a new ECU, and then spend the same amount chipping the P13 (H22 ECU) and even then....chipping won't do a heck of a lot....grab yourself a VAFC at that point...but with no vtec, and nothing to increase power what do you hope to achieve?

 

Basically right now i just want the rev limiter and speed limiter off... dragging is hard when ur car tops out at 115......

It's going to take you an extra 3/4 of a mile of drag strip to get your 96 lx to 120mph. So why bother. You do realize your driving a car that, when it is stock, is at best a 16-17 second car in the 1/4. Your Not going to win too many drags with that. Unless your running in the all stock, 3000lbs, 4 Banger, Grocery Getter Class..... Save your money for a swap or engine upgrades.

i wanna get it chipped because i start modding it next weekend!

 

Well people have given you reasons not too. Personally, I wouldn't see much of a reason to chip a NA motor as it is... unless you have something you can control.

Doing just a chip alone will not benefit you at all. You'd be better off buying yourself a fart can and telling your friends it adds 20 hp.

But on a lighter note, if you want to "Mod" your car next week end, buy something cheap, and inexpensive until you figure out everything you plan on doing to the car. That's my two cents, but if you really want one bro, go for it.

even in the 3000lb fatty class you still gotta go up against 350Zs, BMW 3-series just to name a few. maybe in the 3000lb family car 4 banger class

 

hahah yeah

3000 lb class doesn't help us out

Edit...... Thanks for the new class suggestion. I knew I was missing something

 

wow... lol i dont think u get it... without reflashing my ECU thats the only way i can get rid of my speed limiter... What are mods good for unless u can use them to their full potential?

 

ummmm

when are you getting above 115mph?

I have an EX that I RACE (on a track) and I don't go above 60

 

well im not going to say i street race because u wont tell me how to do it so im just going to say, " i will let you figure it out."

 

hahah if you can get to 115 in a quarter mile in an accord you let me know

when you get to that point, then go for it

 

ever heard of a top speed race?

 

sounds like a death trap.....
