I really want a performance chip/programmer but I do not know much about them, I want a cheap, but good one, any ideas?

 

Lawl... I suggest you gtfo and sell your car for a civic if you want to pick up some POS $100 chip and expect 30rwhp out of it. Go home kid.

 

A bit harsh there, but its truth.

Do it right, get an osiris tune, itll be about 5 small stacks. Or you can always get the electric supercharger, I hear they do wonders for your MAF sensor.

 

WOW lmao! There is the Osiris tune or the Cobb AP. I have a Cobb until I can get to Texas and get the Osiris. BUT the Cobb is not working right now till they get back to me and fix this POS so I dont recommend that. Osiris is the most recommended and it is 500. Whatever you do, dont go cheap on something that does adjustments to you ECU or you will have a 3600 lb paperwieght in your front yard.

 

Chase here's the deal. You bought a car that already comes from the factory tuned to maximize performance. There really isn't a lot more HP to squeeze out of the DE, you will have to go supercharged or turbo to see significant gains. AND modding the G will not be cheap, hence Xet's suggestion to buy a Honda. The best bet for NA mods to maximize power would be the following:

Motordyne Plenum Spacer ~10-15 HP $200
Test pipes or HFCs ~5 HP $100-400
Exhaust ~10-15 HP $500-1500
Osiris Tune from UpRev ~20HP $600


All of my costs and HP gains quoted are approximate, seems different people get different results on different cars. So I see you have a couple of choices. Enjoy the G for what it is and don't expect cheap power gains or buy a car that's more friendly to modding.

 

HA. When did I say cheap was 100 dollars dumbass, I was talking like 350-400, if you don't have advice then how about you mind your own damn business, SO you GTFO "Kid".

 

What he's saying is there is no real viable "cheap" option for extracting decent power out of our cars. Some people here have made the mistake of taking that route and end up messing up their cars. Cheap to some people can be 100 dollars, to others it can be 1000 dollars. Whatever your budget it, just do your research and you'll find what is right for you.

Xet is a pretty knowledgeable from what I've read on some of his other posts so.. relax kiddo.

GL in finding power adders at a decent cost. I recommend a decent exhaust, HFCs or RTPs, a tune, some basic breather mods, and if you got the money for it- scratch some previous stuff and go boost.

 

dont go the chip route. go the tune route. specifically, Osiris. get the power adders first, then get the car tuned to run efficiently with the mods. itll be like a whole new car

 

Best advise in this thread.
U def have to drop some serious cash to get minimal gains on our rides.
But for me the process of modding is half the fun.
And yes get all your potential mods and then an Osiris tune
