Uhh no! u have an OBD-2 P2P computer. you will have to convert to OBD-1 to chip and do modifications. Xenocron is a CC sponsor and has everything you need (except distr) to convert.

EDIT: You will need alot of mods to even necessitate a chip. Intake/exhust/header will give you more power, but you still wont need a chip.

The only time you'd need a chip on a honda is if your boosted, or running really high CP NA

If xenocron doesnt have the dizzy, im assuming you were implying that to conver to OBD1, a dyzzy swap is also necessary... am I right? My car runs w/ OBD1 and my stock y8 dyzzy...

if you end up ever converting to obd1, just use a conversion harness. you dont have to re-pin anything
