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.
