There are a lot of performance chips selling on ebay, are there anyone using it? It said 70 hp increase, 70 lbft increase, and improved gas mileage. Does the chip really help? Replies to this message: lavrishevo (Jul 02, 2008 6:36 am)

Replying to: shijmus (Jun 29, 2008 1:30 pm) No, none of those "chips" will add any horsepower or fuel economy to your van. They are extremely cheap resisters that trick the computer in thinking you are pushing down the gas pedal more then you are. They are a scam. The only way to gain horsepower is to add an large aftermarket intake system and / or headers then have the computer tuned to use 93 or 91 octane fuel by advancing the timing. This is a serious process that I have done on my Mustang GT. This eBay crap is all a scam. A real tuner alone is going to cost over $300.00 so don't fall for it. Seems the Odyssey's already have a problem with pinging so the last thing you want to do is advance the timing. If anything get your self an intake system, if they sell them, or just a K&N air filter and you could always try to free up the exhaust system. You get what you pay for when it comes to performance mods. Remember, any product that can really boost horsepower will back it up with a dyno chart.
