Theres lots of mods out there, why not choose a better mod before you chip it, for instance have you done a exhaust, air filter, cams or vtec controller yet? U'd be best getting a stage 1 cam before u "chip" it anyway.
for instance, a gud quality exhaust, de-cat and filter can give u reasonable extra power i got a 15bhp increase in power and 10 f/lb in torque! plus u'll need to do these anyway before you do other mods to make the other mods worth-while!

Dont forget to upgrade your brakes!! if you wana go fast, u gotta b able 2 stop fast!! otherwise.......

What is it with you people and V-AFCs? It's the ghetto way of changing your VTEC engagement... If you plan on chipping your ECU anyway, then why not do the whole thing right? Save the money you would waste on the pile that is the V-AFC and use it for dyno time, or tuning by a real shop?

 

Do you even know what a V-AFC is? It's an air/fuel controller, hence it's name... VTEC-Air/Fuel Controller. It's a version of the S-AFC, Super-Air/Fuel Controller, that comes pre-set for Honda speed density fuel systems and includes a bonus VTEC controller. This device is used to tune the fuel curve of an individual car on a dyno.

I've personally seen a seven wheel horsepower gain by tuning a car's fuel curve with an S-AFC to deal with basic bolt-ons.

The V-AFC/S-AFC is a superior means of fuel correction to a generic chip.

Stand alone EMS > Hondata and similar > V/S-AFC/S-AFR > poop > "performance" chip

 

buy it just to burn it if u got the money layin around.. anyway i wouldnt buy anything involved with tuning from ebay and a noname brand would be a NO sign right there
buy from a good REAL company

 

Even the preburned "Skunk 2", "JUN", and "Mugen" chips suck. Don't buy any chip unless it is a fully programmable and tunable one like Hondata.
