i'm planning to get a performance chip from ebay. it's costs about $16 and is ganrentee to work. it's surpose to increase horse power by 40 and save gas too. has anyone ever boughtone of these performance chips before? will it affect my car in a bad way? (engine problems, computer problems etc.) if anyone has any infomation on it, it would be helpful.

 

DO NOT BUY THOSE CHIPS ON EBAY!!!!!

its a waste of money because chips dont work on neons......
its one of the biggest scams that is still legal

 

yea, they are junk. There is no cheap way to get that much horse out of one of these cars.

Mat

 

has anyone ever tried it befor? i know there's someone in this forum that did.

 

i still say dont buy it. it aint worth ur money save it for gas

 

don't buy it... i concur with the rest.

 

The problem with stuff like this and the Jet Piggy back chip is that the computer system "learns" the chip and re-sets everything back to stock after a couple months so you're basically wasting your money. The only real way to "tweak" out computers is to install a MegaSqurit unit, then you'll be able to play with timing and fuel/air mixtures. Other then that they're really nothing for us 2gn guys.

$16 for a 40hp chip? LOL

 

I would not waste your money ona chip they are meant for a 6cylinder and 8cylinder ride not a little 4 cylinder ride like a neon. If you want a little power just get a intake and exhaust and a few other engine mods instead of a chip.

 

Yup as everyone else said..save your pennies man...dont waste ur time.
