As far as I know, one doesn't exist. BUT, I stumbled across this link which suggests it might be possible:

Any info?

Chip Upgrade
Uni Chip have stated an intention to do a chip upgrade for the S2000.

I had a chip in my BMW 318is and it made a considerable difference for $650.

If anyone else is interested in a chip up for their S2000 let me know and I'll put the pressure on Uni Chip to produce one. They have a partner in Brookvale (Joviant Performance) who are keen to do the tuning for them.

Oh, BTW, for those sceptics they offer a "10% more power or your money back" and Joviant will dyno test to quantify the improvement.

Rasputin314: Interesting. I for one would like to hear more performance info. Does power increase across the band? Is there any trade-off? What happens to gas mileage and performance at lower rpm range.? Just thoughts. But it sounds promising. Thanks.

Okay, I'm curious and would like to more. When would this be available?

 

Anyone know anything about jet v-force power control modules. On the site it says "any vtec engine" and cost is only 239. Go to jetchip.com

Make sure you see a dyno chart of a new chip vs. the stock chip. Many chips (for normally aspirated engines) offer less of a performance increase than switching to a K&N filter. Also, they could void the warranty (sure, you can take the car manf. to court, but that's not a good option). Some chips add little to performance and require the engine to be in better tune than the stock chip does. Don't trust a seat of the pants evaluation. They are usually more of a comment on the power of suggestion than actual performance gains. Chips are good if you want to change the redline, remove the speed limiter, or use high octane racing fuel. I've never chipped a car, but have read many reports and articles on such. I know there are much more informed people on this board. Please add your two cents.

 

I would definitly be interested in getting one if there was supportive evidence from the mfg. I put a Dinan chip in my '94 Prelude along with a K&N a couple of years ago. It made quite a difference in both the low and top end power. I would put one in my S if it only promised more low end torque.

 

Just so you know, the quoted statement was written by me. Yes the secret is out AusS2000 is Wayne Irvine!

The comment was written probably 10 months ago, shortly after I got the S. In that time, I've often followed up on this matter and it appears the S2000 Unichip is on the same development schedule as the Jackson Racing SC and the DBA rotors - vapourware!

Still, if one of you Melbourne guys want to loan your S to Unichip I'm sure they'd see what they can achieve.

 

Sure would be an interesting concept....

 

The biggest difference with chips comes with turbo cars. The chip basically just boosts the turbo. For example the 180hp TT has the same exact engine as the 150hp A4. I believe what most chips do is remap fuel and timing as well as increase the redline. Another important point is the fact that on OBD- II cars

Chips were a very very large source of debate on the BMW board, stemming from one company especially. One of the main points in question was whether if on OBD-II (post-'95) cars a chip could make a permanent difference becuause OBD-II does its own remapping as well. If you drive an OBD II car softly it will make less housepower at least temporarily. My presonal experience is I had an M3 and had a chip from the company that was the source of the debate and it seemed to make a difference to me. I couldnt feel it very well in the driver's seat but I beat a lot of cars that the rest of the mods couldnt account for. Enough cars that it just couldnt have been driver error on their part.

Road and Track did a test on chips, and involved some big names like Dinan. From my recollection none of the chips made a significant difference except for one that changed shifting points on an automatic transmission.

The point of me saying all this is that on N/A cars I think any increase is much more difficult to get (even though my personal experience says otherwise), especially with the fact that Honda designed the engine to pull so much HP with so little displacement. There may be a slight gain to be found as the cars dont use 93 octane and a chip can make it so that the engine will benefit from using a higher octane than suggested but I think that the gain would be negligible.

 

this is what I got from Jet when I asked them about thier chip in my S2K...


Yes, the 67001 will work with this application.
Thanks,
