Does anyone have and experience with performance chips? Do they work? what are they? Can u just get any one of are they different? Anything? Cause they say increase ur HP by like 20????

They fols your ecu into thinking you are pulling in cold air 24/7 so it feels free to give ou more power. I asuem ti would wokr but 20hp seems a bit much. I have one but never took the 5 second to install it. Maybe this wekend.

Aftermarket ECU chips/flashes for n/a FCs are not all that common anymore. What most people do is use a S-AFC or stand alone like a Haltech, Microtech, etc. and tune them for more performance.

I EAT CIVICS are you refering to those $9.99 Ebay chips? :) naterskater22, if you're refering to the same thing, don't waste your time.

If it's the resistor mod, Icemark's site sends you the parts and instructions for a dollar or somthing. Really it's just a couple of 3 cent resistors. I don't know exactly what values or the placement of them.

to my knowledge, there is no 'chip' for a 7 like there are for other cars. Almost certainly the mod of which you speak is the resistor mod mentioned above. I see it all the time on ebay. basically, its not worth the trouble. you will get an average of maybe 2-3 hp increase. lalala<( my girlfriend's input, lol thats what i get for using her computer)

if you want to do it go to radio shack and get the resistor for 15 cents.
