a homeboy wants my gsr ecu and will trade me a chiped p.28 is this a good deal

 

it depends on which one you'd rather have.
if the P72 is OBD1 then the prices for both are comparable.

 

its from a 92 gsr

 

What mods have been done to the car? Chipped ecus are mainly for tuning purposes. If you have boost or a built n/a motor then you need a chipped ecu and someone competent to tune it. If you are stock or have mainly bolt-ons (I/H/E) then you should stay with the stock ecu. I wouldn't trade unless you are immediately taking the car to a tuner so they can program the basemap to your car. You don't know what basemap is in the chip so it may make you run rich or lean or like crap.

did a ls vtec swap thats why im asking and gsr ecu runs it like ****

 

That's perfect then. Trade ecus and then go get her tuned.

 

p72 and p28 are the same ecu for the most part. once both are chipped the only difference is that the p72 has IAB funtion. The p28 can have it added tho. Id take the chipped ecu, and get yourself a LSV basemap. Or if you can find one, a copy of a LSV tune. next best thing to dyno
