Eh? Your car is missing the stock OBDII ECU? Or are you looking for an aftermarket chip (which would require the OBDI harness)? If it's the latter, then most of us here can give you a pretty straightforward answer. Let us know...

What brand specifically? There are plenty of aftermarket chips for OBDII+ Integras...although most folks will tell you to get the OBDI harness and get your ECU custom chipped, or use hondata/AFC to adjust the ECU.

They don't offer them because almost nobody chips the OBDII ECUs. You'll need to convert to OBDI, buy an OBD1 ECU, and then have it chipped.


For that much money, just get an AEM programmable engine management system.

The AEM engine management is in a whole other league than a chipped ECU.

I know, but you can pick one up for around a grand now.

If you're just straight chipping it don't bother, but if you're ending up with a mid-line Hondata system, it'll cost more to buy an ECU, Hondata, and conversion harness than to purchase the standalone unit.
