Performance?

Post by Sadden »

So im looking for a little more jam out of my 94 ssei. does anyone know of a chip or similar to give some worthwhile gains? (i found one possible chip but at 400dollars i did not think it was worth the 10 hp) Im getting an air intake already.

Cruise though the forum awhile and you'll pick up a lot of info on adding more power. Tons of info to be had.

Probably the best place to start would be a complete tune up. Plugs, wires, oxygen sensor, filters, clean the throttle body and all electrical connections. A scanner is also helpful for keeping track of all the important numbers.

do u know of any chips for it? im rebuilding the engine once so the snows gone so i can kick mom out of the garage for a day or two. im doing all of that with my father so i was curious as to where to start once all of that is done. i figure a chip would be the cheapest method of getting some quick easy hp for reltively cheap but i cannot find one compatible with the ssei powertrain. (the supercharger seems to throw a wrench into everything) i have not had the chance to sit and really dig through the site yet. i will here shortly.
