I haven't heard of any programs for the p14. I imagine it can be chipped, but then... why?

To tell you the truth, i doubt theres much horsepower to be gained with a random "chip", most of them just dump more fuel. The only reason I see anyone needing their ecu to be "chipped" is to raise redline.

If you want a *REAL* horsepower gain, invest in an air/fuel controller, or a piggyback ecu.

Just my opinion..

Check http://www.hondata.com
They make chips for hondas. The s200 chip does many useful things more than just getting rid of your speed govenor(which is cool also). You don't really need to chip unless you have soem SERIOUS mods in your car.

In most cases you will loose hp with a random chip. The only way to correctly chip a car is to do it on a dyno with an wideband. Any tuner can do this, they will use a program such as hondata's and set values for x amount of pressure from the map sensor, then they will do a pull and see where in the power band settings need to be changed.
