If you want more stock power from a Honda I would recommend getting a k tuner or Hondata tuner. These tuner that are only 60 to 100 dollars don’t actually add horsepower or torque like they claim all they really do is increase the pedal responses and sometimes theses cheaper ones are unsafe and will only work with your car for so long before it completely stop throttle response instead of increasing. If your looking to run custom tunes on your car to fully utilize your performance parts like a exhaust system or cold air intake for example get a k tuner or Hondata but if you just looking to have a little more fun in your car and don’t want to run custom tunes get something like a pedal commander instead, it does the same thing as what you have but it’s a bit more user friendly with different modes and Bluetooth control. Do your research first and chose what you like I’d just recommend staying away from throttle response controls that claim to add horsepower when in fact they don’t go with the ones that are actually honest about what they are. I own an Accord that’s the same generation as yours just a v6 and I’m looking in to getting the k tuner so to each their own.
More quality chips will make a bigger difference I just recently ordered a racing chip from Thornton tune and a throttle response control as well an that increased my hp by nearly 60-70
Lmao you obviously didn’t dyno it, the one he’s using in the vid, is one of the only few performance chips that aren’t a scam, Thornton, Chip your Car and instant HP are all scams, all have had the exact same circuit board as NitroOBD which was one of the biggest scams known, do your research your damaging your cars ECU
I use the Spitfire tuning, too. You said it the best: "It's like driving your car full time in Sport mode..." but for me? Sport mode itself also feels more edgey now. It depends on your car and how it was tuned from factory. It has nothing to do with throttle response, like everyone else claims that these things are "fooling us" with. I still have the same throttle latency as I had before. These aren't throttle controllers, to the likes of Pedal Commander. Heck, these don't even hook up the same way a throttle controller does. A throttle controller connects directly into your throttle harness. But I will say that these chips certainly do hold potential to significantly enhance your power curve. I can't speak to the other chips, like Thornton, but Spitfire is at least this way. If it doesn't do anything noticeable for you then your ECU must have been tuned nicely from factory for that particular vehicle. The biggest difference it made in my Juke Nismo, is that I have more bottom end torque and can now build boost as low as 2500RPMs, where before my turbo didn't kick in until just over 3000RPM. So it's nice having that extra bottom end and acceleration. In other words? I now start hearing the turbo hiss 500RPMS sooner than it did before. Turbo lag is significantly reduced now. All of this was apparent on just the first day driving with it. Could I get even better results from a $600 dollar ECU tune? Of course and I still yet may one day, once my extended warranty is dead. Spitfire, to me, was the better one of these, as they do their testing here in the states, at high elevation, low elevation and extreme hot/ cold weather and they will have you list any mods done to your car during checkout, to get an even more customized experience. No other site was really telling me how they were testing these things, nor asking me for a list of modifications done to the car. On a stock car? I would say to expect less than 3-5HP, if any, but do expect a potentially noticeable difference in power curve. After all, that's really what ECU tuning is all about: getting that ideal power curve, for whatever it is you want it to do. Now, if you're a track racer? Your ECU profile could change from track-to-track, region-to-region etc. But for city/ streets? On an everyday driver? It's more about looking for that nicely balanced, all-round power curve. However, for a modified car? I'd say expect 5-8 HP gain, as a lot of times vehicle mods don't really make a difference, until you give the car more fuel and air, via, ECU tuning, while other cars are so restrictive that they are apparent the day the parts are installed. For those that say, "don't expect 50HP from an over the counter chip?" Do you even get that gain from a proper $600 ECU tune on the dyno? If so, there's a shitload of other parts in that engine, so let's not exaggerate. Anyway, when it comes to bolt-on parts/ modifications in general? You can't look at them from an HP perspective. It's both dim and shortsighted. I've seen 700HP cars beat 1000HP cars. HP is more of a baseline/ guideline of getting your vehicle into the proverbial "ballpark," namely for competition. Instead, you have to look at any mod as being quality of life improvements and behavioral changes that may or may not result in real world HP gain. It's like when you upgrade your blow-off valve, intercooler and intercooler piping, both of which are in route to me right now. We know that a lot of these things don't add direct HP gains and most everyone will tell you this, so why do we insist on doing it anyway? Because it encourages power in a way that enhances your driving experience. In the case of a blow-off valves and intercooler upgrades? It means reducing turbo lag and even increasing boost all together, all of which translate into taking you to that peak HP sooner, with the potential for HP gains. Computer processors work the same way. If someone asked, "Which is faster? That 2.8GHZ Intel? Or that 4GHZ AMD CPU?" Well, you'd be a fool to automatically jump to assuming the 4GHZ CPU without more information, because there's a little thing called IPCs (instructions per cycle) and that Intel CPU could be sending twice as many instructions in a clock cycle than the 4GHZ one. Vehicles are similarly complex in this way.
@@awsaid502 Hard to say because I was running some injector cleaner pretty simultaneous to it and so was already noticing an improved gas mileage after each of the two tanks of treatment I used.
The answer is yes it did. it’s not a lot but it does feel like it has more torque and it’ll work much better if your car has sport mode or a manual transmisión.
@@awsaid502 then maybe it wont work as much. I have a automatic 4 cylinder all stock. It only has 240 wheels and a K&N filter for the air filter box. I accidently ran over the RAM intake yesterday 🤦♂️
@@rosenkrastevvalchev Yeah they're a scam, 100%. This is a known fact. All of these things are just pure scams. Don't even know how they don't get shut down by the gov.

Thank you, tell me how the k tuner goes when you get it
🙏🏾
I was going to say the same thing just a scam. You need to flash the ECU to actually tune it.
@@rbmwiv Right
You also never push the reset tab
Most of them say you have to drive at least 150 miles before you see a difference. I wonder what his instructions said.
My bad
Nice vid bro 🔥
Thanks

60-70 No way, did you dino it?
Thornton tune is one of the cheapest websites idk if i’d call them quality
60hp? Lol

@@ryderbentley4727 I just ordered a spitfire chip for a 2015 bmw 740i would it mess up my ECU?
Any suggestions how can unplug my tuning chip on my car ?
They couldn’t add horsepower but they all claim to.
And gas consumption increases

Yes perfectly explained also did gas milagroso changed in yours?
@@awsaid502 Hard to say because I was running some injector cleaner pretty simultaneous to it and so was already noticing an improved gas mileage after each of the two tanks of treatment I used.
It's quite a joke anyone would think they can gain a 40 percent increase like that.
Mayb it’s more beneficial with after market parts?
Honestly I don’t think so
Thanks for your positive advise.
I have lexus rx450hybrid 2010 3500cc chip work on it ?
I might but you’ll spend more in gas and you won’t gain too much horse power
Im thinking about getting a performance chip for my honda accord 02 coupe. Do you feel like it gave your car a little more hp with it in your car ?
The answer is yes it did. it’s not a lot but it does feel like it has more torque and it’ll work much better if your car has sport mode or a manual transmisión.

45 percent increase huh?. Well I guess we don't need turbo kits anymore woohoo let's all plug some crap in and gain Magic unicorn power
exactly
bought a car with an italian speed chip built in
i want it gone their promotion sounds like horse radish to me
I live in Massachusetts
I’m so sorry to hear that
I’m really want to know where did you buy from and how too install them 😍🔥
You can buy it from eBay since they sell there just make sure it’s for your specific car and model, also instructions come included
They're trash bro, don't even waste your money.
i had it on my 2012 civic si, did not make any difference.
@@rosenkrastevvalchev Yeah they're a scam, 100%. This is a known fact. All of these things are just pure scams. Don't even know how they don't get shut down by the gov.
@@robmen1402 100%
Thanks for your review...
No problem
I just bought my chip it’s working really well who want a race me I’ll dust you in my Corolla 🎉
How well did it work?
I'm more about fuel savings, how are these chips for that?
Well they do use a little more fuel since in order to make it “faster” more gas need to be dump in
that does not work on any car!!!!!! get a ktuner and stop being cheap. send that shit back asap!!!
Just bought for the review tho I did something like the first week or so but the it just went back to normal so you’re right
I think you need to follow the instructions.
Did you notice better fuel economy?
Not really
Amigo, you need to read the instructiones... Bueno Mijo
