None. The S2000 has no changeable chip. You can add a "piggy-back" computer or you can replace the whole think with one of a couple available aftermarket computers, none of which have been proven to be plug and play and absolutely fool proof.

I didn't say there was no chip because I can't say for sure. All I know is that "if" there is one (and there most likely is one), it cannot be changed as it is an integral part of the ECU.

I haven't ever heard of a "chip" that worked on any Honda. Honda ECUs are generally pretty damn optimized already, and squeezing any more out of it requires tuning specific to the car. There is NO WAY that a company could come up with an "optimized" chip to achieve 20HP, like they sell for Chevy trucks. You can buy a piggy-back computer (V-AFC or e-manage) to custom tune your Air / Fuel ratios for optimum power on your specific engine, but you can only expect 5-10 HP for the ~$400 it will cost you.

The V-AFC is exactly what those chip replacements do...modify the stock fuel maps. Our chips are soldered onto the boards (i.e., not in easily pluckable sockets) and do not contain flashable maps like some other systems. So, to fix the maps you need to replace the CPU...to do that, you need to solder a new chip in its place. No one has come out with a chip for that reason, among others, including how difficult ours seems to be to fully hack all functionality.
