yes, you have to chip the p28, but it's an easy tweak.

Anywho, the p28 is designed for a SOHC engine, and therefor needs some reprogramming to work well with a B16.

Now, I know nothing of that sort, so unless you otherwise have a hookup from someone who can do that, I can only suggest just getting the proper ECU, ya know? It'll be less complicated, and probably cost just as much.
