Does anyone know if those Performance Chips acctualkly work, or screw up your car? They are selling them on e-bay and they say it adds 20+ horsepower to the car. It's like $10.00 I think. Please let me know. Check it out here:

As far as I know there is not a chip available for the lancer yet. If there has been it was big news that I somehow missed.

20 HP for 10 bucks? Sounds too good to be true, and if its too good to be true, it usually is.

 

with those ebay chip upgrades you are paying X amount of dollars for a 1/100 cent resistor...

 

there is a chip.... Jet Performance makes a chip for our cars...do a search on it... only problem is you have to be completely done modding your engine before getting it.

 

this is true. i have the jet chip!! i love it!!

 

Does anyone know a website where I can get a Performance Chip? I need horsepower hardcore. Need to burn

 

Stick with reputable vendors for parts. Stay away from ebay parts or home depot for that matter!

 

Someone PLEASE let me knwo a website that offers it. I am dying here! Christ!!

 

go in yahho search or google and type I5auto or jet ucu or something. its $299 and it gives you 15+ whp or with mods up to 25+ whp (I5auto is a dealer for jet performance) thats who i got mine from. great service!!

 

If you want performance the chip is not the first or best place to look for your Lancer. In fact cost vs. effectiveness, I wouldn't (personally) even recommend getting an ECU upgrade, standalone or piggyback until your other mods require it.

 

dont buy the chip i have until you have alot of mods. i disagree hobie about your cost vs. effectiveness statement. ive spent a couple thousand on mods and the jet chip was the most effective one of all .im sure it played off the other mods and such but i know first hand that it is far more effective than exhaust, throttle body, intake, straight pipe... far more!!! it is also easier if your not computer savvy to just have your ecu programmed rather than fool with a stand alone.

 

okay nevermind hobie... i misunderstood what you were trying to say... i agree
or andrew or whoever you are!!

 

Thanks for all your help guys. I do have a few mods I made already. Injen Cold Air Intake, Test Pipe, and Greddy Evo Cat-Back. I am sure these mods will help with the chip. I'll check into it.

 

yes they will help, especially the cat back. i have your same set up: injen cai, test pipe but i have magnaflow axle back and bored out throttle body. like i said before about the jet chip (best mod yet!!)

 

how does that greddy cat back sound? i want it!!
