Also something to note around Mighty Car Mods: we are normal guys and are not trained mechanics. We like to make interesting car mods and show you how we've gone about it, but we can't promise that anything we show you will work for your particular car, or that you won't harm yourself, someone else, your car or your warranty doing it. Please be safe, be responsible and unless you know what you're doing, do not fool around with very serious machinery just because you've seen us make it look so easy. Talk to a qualified mechanic if you are in any doubt.

its a $20 placebo effect
It does work by making your wallet lighter of money hence less weight = better gas mileage. :)
Power at the wheels and power at the engine are two different things people - do a google!
MCM sticker gives more hp than that chip lol
Shoulda let the big dude tune ur car with the haltec while u were there!
Overpriced German LED... It adds +30 horsepower!
Kit claims to be for the S2000, kit instructions show a VW engine and say to attach chip to a sensor that the S2000 doesn't have. Seems legit.
Guys you didn't read the instructions properly. This chip is designed and engineered to produce 100 Ant Power to your engine. On performance mode there is a green light that gives you comfort to know that 100 ants are pulling your car. You can't complain about the performance because manufacturers will tell you that the 179 horses ran over and squashed the ants during dyno testing so the ants were taken out.
Looks like moog needs a visit to turbo yoda.
So are you going to send eBay a copy if this video. Maybe eBay will stop those scammers.
I love how they always say "vtec yo" with a straight face like they're not even making a joke.
It's doing 4 things:
obviously a Soviet GPS Tracking unit...
$19 ECM performance chip from EBay, WHAT A DEAL!!!! It's just as a great deal as the $5 I paid for the five gallons of blinker fluid I just purchased from EBay.
But YOU DID get a cool LED light that changes color...
Hahaha! Brilliant investigative journalism guys. Brave to try it on your own VTEC, and really entertaining, great work

Really glad you guys did the electrical analysis at the end -i think we all knew these things don't work, but its really interesting to find out they weren't even trying! -other than trying to fool us that they might be trying with their scrap chips... Cool in depth myth bust!
You guys are keeping all these shady part companies in business LOL. Great videos guys
