ok i have a 2000 honda civic ex, two door with a D16 engine and i want to know if i wanted to put a computer chip on my car what kind should i get? Are the ones off ebay any good? I already have a new header, a new short ram intake, and a strut bar to increase my horsepowe, but i want a chip to make it have just a little more. and if anyone has any other suggestions for more horsepower besides a turbo or super charger let me know. Thanks ~BEN~
There is now way to put a chip in a Honda, the only thing you can do is have it reprogrammed or get an on-board computer system. Hondata is by far the best I know of for the money and it is fully programmable. The only bad side is you would have to program and set values on a dyno.
There are other things you can do to pick up a little power here and there that you might try before going that rout
You need to make sure your exhaust is fully open.
You can add better fuel delivery and fire to pick up a few extra horses
You can also put a better cam in it to pick up better power.
All of these things can give you as much as a computer system, especially if you are not running turbo
Hope this helps
