Man, you were the guy that wanted your 'sohc' VTEC to kick in harder the other week. Generally all ebay/ling long company scams or 'save petrol, more horsepower' are bullshit items.

Those chips, I don't even know if it can be installed on P0A ecu, are worthless piece of crap. Even its advestisement, 2500rpm VTEC engagement are the area where stock F22B1 would engage anyway. 8500rpm?? Good luck even trying to hit 7000rpm.

Why it claims to increase up to "7-20hp", you will feel absolutely jack ****. They are probably just some resistors manipulating signal to allow the ECU to advance ignition timing ever so slightly.

We can help noobs here, any other questions feel free to ask.

Ohh just a heads up while you're in ebay, don't even think about buying those vortex, electric turbo or electric supercharger.

yeah, those ebay chips are garbage. i mean, think about it. $25 for 20 hp?? a good quality intake and exhaust costs alot more than that, and you usually don't get 20 hp from those two.
