It won't do anything but make your car run rich...don't bother.

yep..and raise the rev limiter, to way over what your toothpick d series rods can take...and to top it all off....your car is by no means a spoon spec car...Just throw it away...or use it as a paper weight...thats about what its good for.

Is it one of those fakey Spoon chips and not the ECU itself??? If so, toss it, may do more harm that good.

It will take your REV limiter out.

If all you got is the chip, you still need some other things (IC, dip socket, resistor, and some caps) to install it. It will have a richer fuel map, different vtec engagement, and much more advanced ignition maps. It is definitly not really worth it since it was designed for a setup with higher compression, different cams, and other things your setup doesn't have.
