Hondata. None of the cheapo chips do any more than trick your engine into thinking it's cold outside so they use more fuel for a little bit.

the ONLY way to make ur car faster is to get an engine swap or turbo ur car....both which cost up to $5000+
and hondata is an ecu that is tunable. having hondata with stock components will do almost nothing....its not worth it considering hondata cost around $1000

Re: performance chip
there isnt. you have a civic and it was designed for fuel economy. if u wanted a faster car, you should have gotten something else. you have the wrong car.

So from reading im going to assume you have an R series 1.8 SOHC, unless you complete rework the internals and along with the proper tune HONDATA is your only option. You can use an AEM standalone or Greddy E-Manage which is utterly useless compared to hondata or the AEM standalone. I Would also not expect to see over 200 whp unless you're boosted.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: performance chip
Back to the original post: Barnum was correct.
If the website sells PERFORMANCE CHIPS for a vehicle that is carbureted with no electronic controls, then it is a 100% RIPOFF.

There are a few others, but most of the rest of the cars listed now at least COULD have had EFI of some sort.
This site has cleaned up their act JUST a little bit since the last time I saw it....At least got rid of some of the...
Unpossible....
They used to sell PERFORMANCE CHIPS for mechanically injected Diesels, and even sold PERFORMANCE CHIPS for your Chevy VOLT.
