I was searching around for stuff for the car, and I found this one company that makes peformance chips. They actually make one for the insight I was shocked, I don't know if anyone has heard of the company but they are called Jet Performance Products. ( http://www.jetchip.com )
Anyway, I contacted them to get a little more information and this is the response I got:
We do have an ECU upgrade available for your application. Since your ECU does
not have an easily replaceable chip we do require that the ECU be sent to us for
programming. Our ECU upgrade kit contains everything needed to pack and ship the
ECU to us and includes complete instructions, ECU location chart and our
programming specification sheet that you fill out so we know what upgrades have
been done to the vehicle. Next day air return shipping is also included in the
price. The part # to fit your vehicle is 65001, which retails for $329.95. The
kit is available through JET directly or through any of our dealers.
Once we receive your ECU it will be programmed according to the vehicle
specification sheet to optimize the fuel and timing curves for your specific
modifications. For best results the ECU upgrade should be done after you
complete all of your other upgrades so we can program specifically for them. We
also recommend using at least 89 octane fuel due to the modified ignition
advance. Horsepower gains will vary depending on how the vehicle is modified,
but average gains are 8-10 horsepower to the drive wheels. If you have any
questions you can reach our tech department toll free at 800-535-1161. Our hours
are M-F, 8-5 PST.
They want $329 for the chip with $14.95 for shipping. If you look at their website they make lots of chips for numerous vehicles, but I've still never heard of them...so who's going to be the first one to try this out on their insight? Hehe.
