Default Performance Chips

So... would it be ok to buy a $25 chip from ebay and add to the ecu myself? like is it easy to do or does it mess stuff up?

I personally would not do it. Have your ecu chipped by someone who knows what they are doing...but that’s just me. Someone else might chime in.

I had a friend back in the day when we 1st got into hondas that got a ebay chip. But it wasn’t for his ecu he spiced it into his dizzy (I think) I really don’t remember this was years and years ago. But it made his car run really really rich to the point you could smell it. So I guess it did something with the injectors to add more fuel but it was a total waste of money and we took it off and the car ran sooo much better.
