how i chip my ecu?
I've been reading up on chipping ecu's and what not, and i've read some really good tutorials, i'm going to give it a try and chip my p72, i know the fuel maps and vtec point are a little off with the addition of my skunk manifold, i've worked with electronics before, but this is new to me and i'm a little scared, if anyone has links to really good tutorials, it would be great, ones with pics world help a lot, and if anyone knows of a vid of someone doing this(although i'm kinda doubtful), please, please link it, thanks guys!

I suggest you take it somewhere to get it chipped, now I don't know of any places off hand that do it. Chipping your ECU isn't that easy of a task, if you mess it up your out an ECU.

Re: how i chip my ecu? (BROKE.eg)
Follow the tutorials.
Get a spring loaded solder sucker at Radio Shack and a soldering iron with a fine point (ECU modding on a budget). The spring loaded solder sucker is highly effective and inexpensive. You will need to cut a small notch in the plastic tip of the solder sucker to allow the soldering iron tip to sit "inside" of the solder sucker tip. It is hard to explain but you will understand when you see the items being discussed.
That is it. Simple, inexpensive, and it can yield identical results to expensive vacuum solder guns.
If you need help email me.

I heard the cheap solder suckers don't work well at all. I just got done desoldering my p28 so i could chip it for uber. Using the coper braid desoldering stuff tok forever. I'd pick up the solder sucker and the copper braid. I think the braid was only like $4.

What are you looking to run? I just soldered in my uber-data stuff yesterday. Very simple. Hardest part is desoldering everything.
You just need the 2 chips, ZIF sockets, resistor, and capicitors. (For uber/crome)

I can use a solder wick (braid) or a spring loaded vacuum solder sucker and get the same results as an expensive electric powered vacuum solder sucker. However, I choose to use the electric powered vacuum solder sucker because it is easier when doing 10-20 ECUs in one sitting.
Either way you choose you can send me an email and I will help you out.
