Is A P72 OBD2 ECU Chippable??

If the ecu is P72 --- OBD2 is this still plug a play? & Chippable :?:

I have been looking into this big time over the lase few weeks as im looking to do a mapped ecu for the mb6 , you have to remove the standard p9k ecu and replace it with any odb1 ecu from a civic 92-95

1992-1995 Civic (P05 | P06 | P08 | P28)

1995 Del Sol VTEC (P30)

1992-1993 Integra GS-R (P61)

1994-1995 Integra GS-R (P72)

1992-1995 Integra RS/LS/GS/SE (PR4 | P75)

And then depending what ecu you have you have to add a 28 pin socket and all little bits on the board to make the chip work and the vtec and the iab's . once than is all done you can then map the car , finishing with burning a chip and fitting it to the ecu .

At the min for the service people on here have had quotes of £900 . im looking to do this for £400

Right found this on a us of a forum,,,

Jason: just to let you know, you can chip an OBD2. It's much more expensive for an OBD2 chip than an OBD1 chip. That's why Hondata went with an OBD1 system. The chip is $20-25 to burn a permanent program. Techtom makes the ROMs for all the JDM vehicles not just Honda only. They're the ones who chip OBD2 which is what I run on.

The Hondata people have you thinking they are the only system when they're not.

Technosquare is the Techtom officially licensed ECU distributor in the US. Technosquare's predecessor was G-Force Engineering. They sold off the licensing rights to using their system on Hondas for OBD1 to Hondata. They're already plenty busy with the other Japanese makes that they can afford to do this.

the whole P28 focus by Honda enthusiasts is from Hondata's dominance in people's mindset to get you to buy their system and use OBD1 ECU (ECU being the whole computer which houses the motherboard and chip). The most plentiful OBD1 VTEC ECU just happens to be off an OBD1 P28 (1992-1995 D16Z SOHC VTEC) which doesn't have the same EVAP as OBD2 and has no knock sensor.
