How is putting a wire in your intake going to make any sort of a difference? lol

Careful, you might get a message saying "Danger to manifold" when it all kicks in

Sell it to next victim or return it

 

[2slo4u]

ok guys thats enough with the smart elec answers
op do not put this on your car it was a waste of money it will not give you any gains what so ever and may even hurt your vehicle.

All those chips do, like the venom 400, is open the throttle all the way after 50% of the pedal is down. Simple way to trick buyers

How is that possible with a throttle that is controlled by a cable?

I just left this one alone, I was hoping the thread would just die off.

The Civic is an economy car so it is already designed to maximize gas mileage. There are basically no inexpensive modifications that you could do to increase gas mileage, so leave your engine completely stock.

To maintain good gas mileage, give your engine regular oil changes and tune ups, clear all CEL codes, and have the driving style of an old lady (slow and easy).
