Default Perfomance Chips

Can anyone tell me where to find chip upgrades? I haven't been able to locate.

I was under the impression that there wasn't one, but there's a guy on ebay whos selling performance "chips", and another guy selling his S2000 with a "Jet High performance chip" in it. I have trouble believing either of them to tell you the truth.

There are no "chips" as of yet. Hondata is working on one, but I suspect it will not be available in a released form for quite some time.

No OBD2 ('96+) ECU for any Honda is "chippable." The stock program is in masked ROM on the processor, meaning there is NO way to change it. From what I hear, the new RSX and Civics are flashable, but I have yet to see anything (Hondata...?).

I am not sure what Jet's deal is, they claim they have chips for just about every '96+ Honda. I suspect they are full of crap and bilking people for their money. I have yet to see any proof otherwise, or any proof at all that they are actually modifying ECUs.

I've never thought of Jet as much more than a marketing company. The gains never seem to pan out on thier products.
