Surge Performance chip/ Powertrain Control module
 

Does anyone know anything about powetrain control module or racing performance chip? found one at yourhotcar.com for 89.99 says it adds upto 35hp, which i know is far fetched but if this adds 5hp its worth it...please comment dont wanna waste my money

:rollingla

Doesn't do anything. I would start hiding before people make fun of you. Or better yet, delete this thread.

yeah does it do anything? does anybody have any reccomendations?

Lets just say deadpheonix isn't laughing with you..

ok..ok...i get it...but does anybody recomend anything? a guy at my work swears by racing chips so i am looking for something for my car..please stop laffing :(

I recommend saving your money.. for forced induction..
If you have the 6MT then your about maxed out on n/a from the factory give or take a few ponies with all bolt ons.

Search the tech area:
-intake = 0-2 hp
-exhaust = 3 hp
-ud pulleys - some swear they felt no difference
So with your 1000 dollars your faster by two inches.. :lol:

BTW with your current setup.. even if you got any power at all from that heat sucking K&N.. its being wasted with your lets say.. bulkier stereo equipment.

thanks wind dance, had an old timer at work swearing by it and i never heard anything bout it.

AccessPort by Cobb sold through mazdamaniac.com

I like chips , they are crispy. :eyetwitch

yep.

Accessport I have neevr experienced but have heard of nothing but good news from the subbie world about them. So with that I DO recommend AP

Accessport, nitrous, accessport, did I mention nitrous?

The accessport is the best way to go. I've seen it work, it's awesome. Any other "chip" is either snake oil or will cause serious damage to your motor.

you can throw em in a honda and feel cool but youre askin for trouble puttin it in this car

thanks for imput guys..accessport is for mt only, i talked to some techs and they say to stay away.

these techs are the same that swore by using a "surge performance chip"...?

if you were really interested.. the Accessport is available for the automatic RX8.

fellow salesman suggested chip...a service tech, told me to stay away

From what I've researched on this forum about Accessport, I'd say it's a good little system. I haven't heard anything seriously negative towards it. Why not do a little search around and see what people say, you'll not find any more knowledgeable people about it then the ones using the Accessport...

most chips are not made for the rotories

Either the guy at work hates you bad, or he does not know shit about cars.

That is my answer.

NO Bullshit chips can give you gains. at least not the kind of chip that the OP is talking about.

:lol: someone find the ebaychip thread :lol:

Do you work at Wal-Mart?
