Correction, Festiva EFIs have a mighty 63 HP. We WISH we had 75 HP! :-)Originally posted by Amos View Post
Those chips are total BS. Think about it:
1. if it sounds too good to be true, it is.
2. if it was this easy, the manufacturers would have already done it.
Free mods you can do:
1. drill holes in the bottom airbox piece for more higher-RPM airflow.
2. advance the timing 5-8 degrees (will require higher-octane gas, 89 or better, to prevent detonation).
Believe me, you will notice the difference with these simple mods.
Edit: also do a basic tuneup--plugs, wires, cap and rotor--and make sure your cat isn't plugged up. Index the plugs. I recommend the NGK BPR6EY11. Get a Haynes manual if you don't have one.Last edited by TominMO; 11-26-2009, 03:53 PM.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

i was also wondereing you know how the honda civics have those chimps that puts trhere rpm from stock 5.2 to like 7000rpm or higher is there any chips like that for the ford festivaComment

Do the chimps drive the civics?
Do not buy chimps nor any chips for your festiva....waste of money. period."Lane, I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy."

but i really want to get my festiva to rev higher then the stock 6.2 want it at least 6.7 or 7000rpm , cause with this stock rpm it aint gonna do any good... and dont wanna motor swap, im pretty much sure there is some computer out there somewhere...Comment

There is no real point in revving past redline; HP will fall off from its peak before you get there. Plus the motor wasn't designed to spin that fast; it's not a racing motor. Read my post above and try that first.Originally posted by 1993 festiva View PostLast edited by TominMO; 11-26-2009, 04:17 PM.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

yeah..... just had to chime inIn the 90's we had Clinton in office. We also had Bob Hope and Johnny Cash. Now we have Obama in office and we have no Hope and no Cash.

"When used in conjuction with other high performance parts, certain setups have produced up to a 50 horsepower gain!"
A quote from the performance chip website. Any HP gain will have been due to the "other high performance parts". And the 50 HP gain will be on a big motor which already produces several hundred HP, not a small fuel-efficient motor like ours.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

I can tell you this.
After reading the installation instructions, you can't even install that on a Festiva.
It hooks to the "IAT".
From the installation instructions:
"Locate the vehicle’s Intake Temperature Sensor (IAT) located
or near the intake tube, in the air box or near the throttle bod
Figure 1 shows the typical location for the 2 wire IAT sensor."
Festivas don't have an IAT.
That thing is the same as an eBay ripoff chip. The website is lying to you.
Save your money. There are no magic chips that will turn your Festy engine into a 100 HP 8,000 RPM screamer.
If you want a noticeable improvement, take TominMo's advice.Festiva: Because even my dog can build a Honda.

You know what else you can do to raise your horsepower? Add window decals, and a giant wing on the back! Then you go on Ebay and buy one of them glue on hood scoops and out that on, it'll give you an extra 30 hp. Oh, and add some neons, that'll make your car reach higher RPM's!
