You must have gotten one of those "off brand" racing chips. I got the real one! 348 hp and 85 mpg.

I would have to say that it is garbage! I've never heard of a Punisher racing chip. Probably jsut another sensor signal hack that tries to trick your ECU.

The only chip worth while would be one that has been added directly to the ECU and tuned properly. This is referred to as chipping an ECU, Stock Accord ECUs are not the chipping type. OBD1 Civic/Integra ECUs are the most common ECU for tuners to chip & tune. There are a few K series ECUs that can be programmed as well.

Its dangerous for your engine to install blind chips in your car. Youll have no idea what the fuel mixture will be or how far the timing is advanced. Your taking a chance. I would recommend getting the car tuned. (just like GhostAccord said)

ya but you need software to tune it with.... you can not just throw in a 1.6-1.8l ecu and expect it to run a 2.2l.

Install a header, tb, intake, or whatever you decide to increase power. And then get it tuned.

Fix your clutch issue and do some regular maintenance before you start thinking about throwing money on adding VTEC and tuning chips that you don't really need.
