Hi everyone, i want to get a performace chips really bad.. but people have said that not to get it? does anyone have it on there elantra... do you guys think its worth it?

 

have you modified any anything in regards to engine performance? if not i wouldn't recommend it. the gain in horsepower is not worth it. normally one would install a chip or modify a ecu before there is a need for more fuel eg. a turbocharger or a supercharger is added to the enigne which require more fuel delivery. if an intake or exhuast system there is no need for a performance chip. the only gain that might be possible probably removing the top speed governor if there's one. hope what i said makes sense.

 

no i don't have anything done to the car but does it mess up my car?? and thanks for replying

 

no it will not mess the car up, what you might experience though is poor gas mileage, but hey every fast car gives poor gas mileage

 

are you sure... and have you put it in your car and i also heard that the Check engin light comes on alot then..

 

i don't own a hyundai, i work on them. when an ecu is reprogrammed, it actually happens most of the time is the make compensation for the fuel map so if x amount of air is coming in the engine x amount of fuel is going to be delivered. otherwise you should still have your driveabilities as if you were driving the car before. also like i mention you might notice a top speed increase depending onhow they claim the new ecu willmake your car perform. what you should do is who ever you are buy/having reprogram your ecu, have them specify what gainsyou will be getting with the upgrade. then you can also make the decision on whether you want to make that step.

 

what do you think of this one.. do you think this is a good one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PERFO...spagenameZWDVW
and thanks for helping me

 

also what if i wanted to at a short ram air intake and the performance chip... what will happen then?
