stock ecu or chipped p28?
97 jdm itr with intake/exhaust/headers soon to come.
i am looking into a chipped p28 from phearable.net becuase i want to illiminate the speed gov on the stock jdm p73 ecu, want vtec to kick in a little sooner, wouldnt mind the shift light and 2step launch controll they offer.
like i said the motor is fairly stock for now, just with a short ram intake, and 2.5 inch straight pipe to an es tuning muffler. i am looking into a set of 4-1 headers also. i plan on much more internal work down the line, but for now i want to know if with a chipped p28 would i see some gains?
what do u guys recommend, stick with stock p73 for now, or chipped p28?
what would be an ideal vtec crossover point?
what basemap should i request?
any info from those with experience is appreciated.

Well, p73 means you've got an itr engine in there right? And that means you have a knock sensor and secondary butterflies, right? If so, you'll want to not get a chipped p28, as this has neither, but mehbe a chipped p72.
Edit: Forgot you said you had the itr engine, so yeah.

CEL lights up for the shift light, it's nifty.

yup phearable.net offers it.
p73 ecu....jdm itr.
there arent any secondary butterfly's in a type r, that is in a gsr motor.
im pretty sure that jdm type r's dont have knock sensors....can someone confirm?

Ah, no iabs in the itr, wtf, I suck. In any case, who needs a knock sensor, :-p, if worse comes to worse just send him a p30. Anyway, get it chipped, def. Also see if he'll do full throttle shift, it's awesome.
