I had a question is the black box that is located behind the stereo in my 87 honda accord lx-i the computer chip in my car, and also is there any performance chips that are for our cars and where can you get them.

no it controls some various different lights and noises. im forget what lights noise etc. and no there are no performance aftermarket chips for are cars. the only thing close is a custom chip that you must get in a group buy to get. search the board for "gm ecu"

I believe venom makes a chip, maybe it was a piggyback to the stock ecu... Not sure but i know it was a few hundred bucks and I know nobody who uses one

theres a couple places...look on Nopionline.com....you basically send your ECU to Nopi...they send it to Venom, they remove teh stock chip adn soder in a new upgraded one and return it back to you...

It is jet chips that makes one and I believe all it does is advance the timning a couple degrees.
chip not worth $5. if you want real gains with an ecm youll have to get into the gm ecm project.

There is a place over here that does superchips, i went and aksed about em and it cost about £120 (pounds) and u get a 12 bhp increase. but i cant afford that at the moment so i gonna leave it.
but it dont sound too bad!
OR
U can get it turbo'd from some other guys over here for arround £500 which seems expensive but its not bad for what ure getting.
if anybody want more info on these places then just send me a private message.
:pimp:

it advances the timing 2 degrees only when u put higher octane fuel in. thats what any aftermarket chip would do besides control the A/F mixture. I know Sean got the whole GM ecu thing goin on. Talk to him, he would tell you whats best for your car.

Chips are BS. Talk to Sean, like everyone else said.
