    hmm, speaking of which, could I run a p73 on my gsr? or it wouldn't work at all?

    not with stock internals...the engagement points are differant for a reason...differant cams, etc...just run a piggy back unit like a VAFC or something to play with the fuel, etc...

    yeh, did the vafc thing already, not really worth it, rather just get a chipped ecu

    obd2a I believe, its a 96'....I've used a vtec controller on my last integra (DB2), I think my next step would be uberdata because of all the options it has and money wise.

    Uberdata requires obd-1. You can not chip an obd-2 ecu. It can be reflashed or a piggyback can be run, but you can not chip it. You would need an ecu from a 93-95 w/ manual or automatic whichever you have.

    and you are correct, thats why I was planning to get a obd2-1 conversion from vteckidd and run a p28.
