Default my car wants a chip

Hey im looking into getting a performance chip for my 90 accord LX 4dr but don't really know where to get one. there aren't any performance stores here that can help me. they're not into the accord; its only the civic and the eclipse here. where do i go and any suggestions on type and price range that ill be looking at?

I would just keep looking around. Keep asking people and the best thing search the web. You'll definitley be able to find one somewhere. How many miles does the car have? And. What kind of mods do you have done to it?

Check Hondata, to find out what ECu you have then find out what chips are available. More than likely f22.

Hondata re-tunes ECUs for true dyno tuning instead of running a basic re-programming like Jet or Skunk2.

i agree with shocker how much does hondata run? like 1200 dollars? you can get an H22 with everything for around 2k if you shop around

The Hondata units are around $600-800 acutally it's the accessories to them that cost, especially for boost. At the ened of it all, they'll be $1000+.

Would be worth it to swap an H22 into an 04 sedan? I dunno....my engine is still really new (only has 10k on it) seems to be such a waste. [:'(]
