The Venom400 performance control module
is an add on control unit that features it's own
micro-controller. This module is connected to
the throttle position sensor and the Manifold
absolute pressure sensor, and by monitoring
the sensors output characteristics and modifying
the input signal to the vehicles existing ECU.


Dimensions:
W 4.5" x H 1.25" x D 4.75"


Poison:

Improving horsepower by as much as 25%
through the range of approximately 1,000 -
5,000 RPM. The Venom400 is OBD II
compatible. Besides substantial increase
of torque, the Venom400 reduces the flat spots
or delay timing during sudden accelerations.

Incorporated into the Venom400 is an 8-bit micro-
controller that is capable of monitoring the
various sensor inputs and modifying their
outputs at more than 40 times per second.

If you already have another performance
prom installed not to worry the venom400 is
a mid range performance chip and the prom
chip is a wide open throttle application thus
complementing each other through the entire
RPM band.

The Venom400 has an on/off switch so smog
certification is possible without detection of unit.
Easy installation with basic hand tools requiring
only four electrical connections.

Loss of gas mileage to be expected
is 1-3 miles per gallon in fuel economy.
No significant damage or long term
stress side effects in long and short range
testing.

It does look interesting. I hope someone has it.

I found a price for it, it should be around $350 not bad.

I would buy it, if I wasn't selling my car.

So does can you put the venom on a 2000 TL or what. And also how much power does it realistically add.

im not sure how the venom works for the tl, but i do know that it is pretty popular among the other import hondas and integras. Is it better than the apexi controller?

I feel that the Apexi VAFC is much better than the Venom 400. With the Apexi VAFC you can set air fuel ratios and vtec crossover point, while the Venom 400 only tricks your throttle position sensor into thinking that you are applying more throttle than you actually are.
