which ecu to use for tuning?
yes i've searched..last thread regarding p28 vs p72 dated back to 2003..inconclusive for me..
my car:
95civic lx b18c1 swap with i/h/e/ctr cams/ skunk2 IM pro/hondata IM gasket
i have 2 ecu
a chipped p28 and a jdm p72 obd1
p28 came with the swap that this guy did for me
picked up p72 obd1 from ebay
currently running on p72..i like it..easier start up..everything set at factory setting..
what i wanted to know is, which ecu is best to use for tuning?? since the p28 is already chipped, would that make it easier?? save me more money from having to get the p72 chip and THEN tune??
and from a good tune, how much hp can i expect to get??

Either one will work for your application. The P72 has knock sensor support, so if that is important to you, use that ECU. Besides that, they are essentially the same ECU and will yield the same results.
I think you could put down 160-170 whp with those modifications. Don't expect anything spectacular with bolt-ons.
