Hmm... I don't think it will do as much as it says maybe some or none at all. I have no idea. If you want to try it and let us know that would be great, ha.

Re: Volo chip/tuner for your car ughh what?

absolutely not.

Ive been up, down and sideways over my ecu, the onboard PIC, MCU & ROM surface mounts; reviewed technical, test & assembler manuals for as much as I can find, and to coin Senior TRIZ, an ECU..."is not just some brick you slap onto your lego people house."

The way to make more hp/tq is by putting as much air as you can get into that little bastard. Without more air, more gas is just shot out halfway combusted.

If my CBR1000 could make 148ish whp with 997cc of NA displacement (@12.5k rpm mind you), imagine what you could do with 1668ccs?

Or just get a turbo. I heard they're a snap to install.

Seriously though, spend the money on some Royal Purple 5w-20 HP Synthetic + a fancy oil filter, new plugs & get a compression test done. Wordy word.

Re: Volo chip/tuner for your car ughh what?

besides, im working on this right now, e.g. flashing & subverting the factory rom. Its a little complicated. When people try to pawn off this amateur garbage on the untrained, its frustrating.

...Ive bought into my share of bullshit hustles (MONSTER CABLE)

Just go look at hondata's website and compare to this ebay page.
