Is there such a thing to give you 18HP gains out of a performance module?
I read up on the Juice Box module and it sema to add alot to the cars HP. Does anyone have one of these out there and are they worth the money? what are the bad thing about them? I'm wanting a little bit more gain and this seams like it can help .....what do you think for $30 is it worht it or not

 

It's basically just a jumper with a resistor on it that really doesn't do crap except make you think you are going faster :rofl:

 

you cannot get that much hp from a damn ''performance'' module of any kind.

 

Thats what I was thinking,but they say you can just to sell the product. Does anyone have one here?

 

these performance modules are just a resistor. you can buy one at radioshack for 3 bucks. it changes the voltage in a sensor. the most popoular place to use this mod is in the AIT. it may give you 2-3 hp maybe. not worth spending more than 3 bucks for it though.

a performance ecu is the way to go or a microtuner. i dont know if anyone is making it for the honda.

All it does is suck fuel :slap:

 

Technicaly, they do add couple of ponies but yeah not worth more than 3 bucks. It basically changes your feul settings so that the car burns more fuel to give you more power. I posted a thread about it last month and got the same answers.

 

Thanks Shonny. I'm going to pass on the mod and put my money elswhere.

 

The Hondata reflash and KPRO programmable ECU upgrades for the K20-K24 (RSX/TSX) engines are well regarded, and add in the neighborhood of 25HP depending on the program used. There are other tuning advantages as well. However they aren't $30 ($600-$1000 range)

 

So what's an answer? I've got a pretty much stock VTEC in my 98 Accord. I'm a newbie, and I see the adds for the colorful intake/air filter kits and the $70 thingy that adds up to 35hp. I've also heard about these ECU (chips?) mods.
What kinda $$ are we really talkin' about and what's the associated hp increase?!
