Default s100 d15b

I have a 95 ex with a jdm d15b and I was wondering if the s100 chip would help me get a bit more pep out of my car. I already have the whole I/H/E setup and I just want a little more. will this help any? how hard to install? or how much after install and tune? will it hurt anything? ive found it for $190. ive never chipped a car before so any insight and experience is well appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

Have you ever done any PCB work? Not just "I'm gonna solder these two wires together", I'm talking about actual, fine-pointed PCB work. If not, no, don't try to install it yourself. Once you've gotten past the installing part, then you have to find someone to tune it - hint: Very few reputable tuners will. So you find someone to tune it. You get an extra 5 WHP out of it, and you're now $800 in after the unit, the install, and the tune. $800 for 5 WHP? ****. That. This is also all assuming you don't have the three stage D15B - The S100 will not be able to control that.

Replace it with a bigger motor, or force feed it. You don't make D-series motors faster - you just make them louder.

Yes that's all you'd get turbo or swap it, also the s100 is outdated as hell better of getting a chipped ecu, the s100 is inbetween that and a EMS like the s300/RTP etc.
