Are you talking about the side of the casing because there are no codes. the sticker was removed. i am thinking its a P28 chipped too, but i wanted to see if anyone knew for sure which ecu it is.

It's a VTEC ECU, because if I zoom in I can see the VTEC parts, especially the transistor or whatever it's called on IC14. Probably a P28.

They don't, you probably just didn't notice the subtle differences.

X2, the PCB number matches up with a P28 board too.

Its an automatic ECU, I can see the components on the board, someone probably just converted it, all it takes is removing RP17 and RP18 (located directly under the chip) and replacing RP18 with a jumper wire.

That looks like a P05 board to me. Just look at the board number its stamped 1720.

it cant be a p05 cause i compared it with one that i have it it doesnt match up. sounds like its a p28. also for furture refrences, what do i look for on an ecu that tells me it it for a vtec by looking at the board?
