    hmm it might be for the 90 accord... even then I don't think it will gain as much as he says, without dyno resluts. Thats if the product is real in the first place.

    it is a resistor that will trick the airflow sensor to think there is a lot more air comming in, so ECU will dump more fuel.
    it is all BS.

    Have visit with your local radio shack for the breadboard, a soldering iron, and the resistor.

    and just because you are dumping more fuel in dosent mean you will gain anything, you will just be running rich

    well... I don't know what there selling on e bay, but JET CHIPS told me that they don't make chips for my car and they don't think anyone else does either...

    However, they told me that they could modify the chip if I sent it to them... if you're serious about wanting a new chip, go to JET CHIPS
    87 hatch (stolen)

    88 lxi 4dr, 5spd, threw a rod... in process of swapping engine from my 87 hatch (police recovered what was left of the car).

    the fucker that sold me the 88 is lucky he lives 500 miles from me...
