ECU is easy to install, you're prolly obd1, which came stock with the car. Anyway, obd0 is technically pre-obd and came on 88-91 civic **** and obd1 came in the egs, and obd2 came on EKs. Obd2 is less desirable because it is harder to tune. Obd1 is generally considered the best for tuning because of the tuners and support for it, though obd0 does work also. Anyway, you don't really need another ecu unless you're stock one is incorrect for the engine or you have stuff done that you plan on tuning for.

when they say getting it chipped what would that mean since my engine is a swap from jdm on a 92 civic like my boy he says he got a p72 if i get a modified ecu will it better for my engine?

It's just replacing the stock code on the ecu with something modified to whatever specs you feel like modifying it to.
