Ebay ECU Chips
 
anybody know if these chips increase performance? it claims 5-20 extra HP but i know thats not true, but can it help a little? my d15 max out at 6500RPM and the ECU will change it to 8200RPM, will it be safe to go like....7000RPM? this thing is only about $20 including shipping and im i need to know if its a piece of ---- or its a pretty good deal.

Isn't that the scam that is just a resistor to advance your timing and ---- everything up?

piece of ----, all it basically does is advance your timing and remove your rev limiter, and no, it's not safe to rev your d15 that high, you have a factory rev limiter for a reason, not b/c honda didn't want you to have any fun ;)

Yeah those eBay chips are garbage. Check the FAQ in the engine management section if you want info about chipping your ECU.

My friend bought one and when he got it he realized he had to solder it in. He didn't want to ---- up his ECU so he tried selling it to me and I told him I like good gas mileage no thanks.
