First of all, what are you doing to the motor requires chipping? What motor is it?

You will need a wiring harness from obdII--->obdI
There's a website called http://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/i...?topic=31055.0
Go to his website and there are all sorts of goodies for tunning and chipping.

Why do you want to convert?

I'm running Crome on a socketed p28 with the obd2b->obd1 conversion harness.

mainly because I want the ability to tune the motor down the road. Its a B18C1 and bolt-ons are almost done. I eventually want to upgrade the topend (no pun intended) with pretty much skunk2 stage one stuff and for the bottom rods and like 11.1 compression pistons at the most. I only have access to 91 octane and thats the compression type-s' run so i figure it would be safe in the mile high zone. So wouldn't i have to have a tune program to get it running right and making the most power? They say you can't tune obd-2 ecu's really well so thats why. What do you think?
