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.

    It does work by making your wallet lighter of money hence less weight = better gas mileage. :)

    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.

    So are you going to send eBay a copy if this video. Maybe eBay will stop those scammers.

    $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.

    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!
