After searching for and reading posts regarding MDracing chips, it seems that nobody was confident enough to come out and say, "Yes, it rocks like a ****" or "No, it sucks like a civic".

So my question is, how many of you out there actually own or have owned a MDracing chip? And how do they fare in terms of performance (for its price)?

 

Really, nobody at all?

 

Chips on most japanese cars by themselves offer little performance advantage over just advancing the timing a little.

The biggest advantage is generally in what you perceive the car to be doing (whether or not that is an actual change).

Chips with an intake/ exhaust/ other mods can sometime yield a small performance gain.

But I don't think that anyone that doesn't work at MDracing has actually dyno'd a car with a chip in it so they can say that it makes a difference one way or another.

 

I have experience w/ the N/A one, no huge power increase, done more as a "safety" mod, you how some days the car feels "on" and somedays "off", after this chip the car always feels "on"

 

I had one. It was well worth the money and I paid $400 (3-4 years ago before there was any real competition).

I've got 2 friends who also bought the chip and both were very satisfied with them.

Maybe this was before threads were rated and archived, but one guy got 11-13 rwhp in a back to back G-tech comparison. It was a very long thread.

 

What about on the turbo models. Just to have a fuel map of 8.5+ PSI would make the chip mod worth it.
