You can't chip/tune an obd2 ecu including a p73...

You can chip the P73, too. It's not that easy as the OBD1 ECU's and more expensive cause you need to replace the MCU (the main Microcontroller).

The best experience we had with the "MUGEN" program. There is/was one guy in PFMGI.ORG Forum how sold allready programmed MCU's for the P73.

Anyway, when you have the choice, better to replace it with a OBD1 ECU and adapter harness - it's the better option.

Why would you waste your time & money on an obd2 p73 when you can run an obd1 ecu that is tunable using hondata, neptune, ectune etc... such as a p28 ?

There is no logic behind it.

If you read the last sentence in my post, you'll notice that i suggested the OBD1 way, too.

Hint: P73 + chip it + sell it = money gain!
