I ordered a stock p72 ecu from a powerseller on ebay, but I think this one is chipped. What is this?

 

yup, its chipped.

 

even zooming in i cant see what it says....

 

is a half *** job on it...
missing the jumper right above the chip that you point out
and a cap that little orange and round that goes next to your
footprint chip thats located to the left of the chip that you point out...

and let me add this that is not a p72....

 

yes its chipped, yes its a shitty job, and no thats not a p72

 

you got yourself a chipped p28!!!! LOL.............that "power seller" sells chipped p28's/chipped p06/p05's/etc. He peals off the lables and claims they are "GSR ECU"! I get a lot of pissed off customers who ask me the same questions and ends up selling their ecu to get one from me!!! LOL WEAK SAUCE!

good seller.......

 

you guys scared me for a bit. Its not a p28. After some research I found this:



and now mine:



It is a p72 but its chipped, no big deal since I paid 20 bucks less than the chipped ones and this ecu is going to be socketed for uberdata anyway

That was a cloooooose call

Shrug

Im not scared to be wrong, but everything matches up from the p72 pictured.

The differences between the p28 and p72 are very noticeable, and this isnt a p28, so i dont know why you guys think it is

It can be either a p72, p74 or p75.

the ff squad pic shows the kncok sensor board peeled back (top right hand corner of the ecu)......your ecu doesnt have that. I also see that your ecu harness plugs from the inside of the ecu doesnt have its lable (bar code sticker).......

 

I noticed the peeled sticker, and thats what got me suspicious.

It has the same board as the p75, pictured here:


Both have the "04" stamped on the right hand side and share the same locations of all the resitors/capacitors.

It looks like the seller installed some things to make it look like the p72. I am filing a complaint with paypal and hopefully I can get my money back

 

File a complaint with ebay as well.

 

Okay, I filed a complaint with paypal and ebay.

And, I just put it in my prelude and the CEL light was on, but everything seemed fine, VTEC still engaged - so does that mean this is infact a p72? I dont get it, if its a p75 aka Acura Integra LS ecu, why would vtec still engage if it didnt "know" it was there?

i know, that your aware its not ap72. but jus as an info for the future.

p72,p30,p61 on the top have the knock sensor board. the screw is removed and its pulled to the side to take a picture. look to the right of the pic. you will see it.
the one you have on the buttom does not have the knock sensor board. so at best its a chipped p28

 

From the 332 on the MPU you can tell it's a P75. And there should be electrical tape over the eprom window, so it doesn't get erased...

Name the seller, so we can all be aware, thank you.
