p28 ecu questions.

p28 ecu questions.
so i picked up a p28 today along with an obd2a to obd1 adapter harness. the guy i bought it from originally had an s300 hondata setup in it. so it has the pin setup rather than the socket.
i dont know if i can shell out the 700 or so canadian dollars for an s300 chip. i am wondering if i am able to convert this ecu to a xenocrome setup instead, as it is quite a bit cheaper. i know the benifits of the hondata, however my budget is not quite enough at the moment to cover the initial cost of it.
my question is, is there a socket i can buy that will sit on the hondata pins that were soldered to the board? or would i have to unsolder the hondata pins, and solder in the socket.

Re: p28 ecu questions.
The Hondata s300 is only $495, so I am not sure where you are getting the $700 price from. If you intend to move back to a free-ware type program like Crome... you can use one of the s100 Gen2 chips for your programming. It fits the type of socketing that you have in your ECU.

Re: p28 ecu questions.
can you buy an adapter, yes. But it's a special order part (the last time I went looking for one) and it's going to cost 10+x more than having the pin headers replaced by a standard socket (or even ZIF)
find someone that can solder well, have them swap it out in a few minutes.

Re: p28 ecu questions.
got it figured, the guy i bought the ecu from messaged me yesterday morning and had found another p28 in his stash, that had was socketed for a chip already. so traded him the one i bought for the one with the socket and chip. also picked up a p75 obd2a ecu so i can get the car started and running well before i switch over to the p28 and mess with the tune.
thanks for the info!
