The digital box is NOT a single resistor. It is a new map for the fuel supply which the ECU has to learn, (It takes approx 2 months to learn). There are settings one to four on the box which you can use for the Civ. I started with setting 3 which produced 154 bhp and 273 lbft of torque. Then I realised that the maker of the box was quoting 168bhp and 298 lbft of torque so I turned it up to setting 4. My trip to santa pod recently was using setting 4. I also use Millers power plus 4 which helps with combustion and fuel economy. I've started to use Shell V power in various concentrations. I haven't verified the 168bhp yet on the rolling road but my trip to santa pod seems to suggest that 168bhp is possible. This box is very simple to fit and can be easily removed. The hesitation now hardly occurs at all, this unit takes a while to settle down. Once it has bedded in its fine and returns good economy if driven with restraint.

It's four new fuel maps then really isn't it? Or is it just a 4-way potentiometer?
I remain extremely cynical.
So there are no boost increases?
