Thanks a lot for the opinion poll guys, right now I am trying to see how far I want to go with this car. I want to do an engine swap eventually (just a matter of waiting for the extra money) and I want to figure out what exactly needs to be done first. I have been a member of this sight for a while now (since I got my first 240 (sad story why its gone)) and this sight has been great. I really appreciate all of the good information from everyone. Thanks.

Thats the worst ebay description for a part I have ever seen. It doesn't tell you anything about it.

Jet Chip makes a good chip for S13's, it doesn't over ride the govonor though. Your best bet is to have your ECU reprogramed or get a piggy back ECU...even better get an EMS.

$35 bucks can get you a spin turn **** and a battery ground kit!!! Two things that are very useful, or instead of a spin turn **** use electric tape!!

The only NA chip I have ever seen that was worth a crap was one from RS-Enthalpy. Scott has actually extracted real HP out of NA motors. Only person I have ever trusted for any chips turbo or not. His cost considerable more than that

Yes, i believe you do. I think a daughter baord has to be installed in the ecu. He probably has cores though.
