need assistance finding M/T ecu

[MRX]

hey guys i'm in the market for a p72 ecu. Its the ecu from the 94-95 integra gsr's. I could also buy the p74 and p75 from the 94 and 95 ls/gs integra but i'd prefer the p72 because i can still use the iab function. You guys are alot better at finding great deals than i am and some of you may know exactly where to find one or have a junk yard nearby that has one of these ecu's. I'm willing to pay about $175 max for the p72 and i'll take offers on the other two ecu's. I've tried ebay and i'm gonna go search some integra specific sites right now but thank you guys very much and with your help so far on my project. Oh and...MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ONLY MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ONLY MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ONLY MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ONLY MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ONLY MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ONLY MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ONLY...thanx again guys

From what I've read, not many gains can be had from the P72... Still, the IAB control makes it worth it to me (and I'm guessing the ECU isn't where you're looking to get gains...)

Anyway, www.car-part.com is a great junkyard database search. I found a few P28s there for $50! (all sold by the time I called, but they were there!) I know I saw a couple P72s as well. Not so cheap, but some were under $200.

I'd stay away from eBay. Anyone who knows what they have (i.e. anyone who knows it's a P72) will want an arm and a leg for it! Anything cheap could be fried...

Hey man, I have been lookin for ya...

update...scratch the p72, p74, and p75...the p28 can be chipped to run iab's apparently and is alot cheaper...thanx guys and so far the best i see them for it around 50. Its the ecu from the 92-95 civic ex in case anyone was wondering...GREAT WORK THO GUYS!!!

Can the P28 be modified to run the IABs, or can you just set them when you wire it up? I've heard that you can set them to open at the vtec corssover, or a bit before/after... but it wasn't able to be changed via software and chipping... Of course, I really have no clue!

I'm going with the P28 due to the greater support it seems to have... and the fact that it's 1/2 to 1/4 th eprice of the P72!

MRX, if you find someplace that sells P28s consistently for $50, let me know. Since I know they can be had for that much, I'm reluctant to pay more! I'll be strapped for cash as it is, buying my second car...

can you even run a p28 vtec ecu on a non vtec car? you might need to get the ls non vtec ecu..

[deevergote]

That's right... I forgot all about that! I'm using the H22, so I kinda forgot that the F22 was non-vtec (well, didn't forget, but it didn't occur that there may be a problem...)
