Help w/ B16A & P73 (type-r) ECU

Hi I have a few questions:

I bought a 96 ek with a B16A swap (OBD-II) and it came with a type-r (P73) ECU. How does a B16A2 respond to a P73 ecu vs a stock SIR ecu? How are the gains or is there any loss in power.

Mind you I have a stock intake and a CX muffler but full SIR piping throughout. Bye the way the motor does not burn any oil. Can someone please advise!

Also have a bad/weak clutch and balding tires.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.

took out the references to street racing. TCC has a tight anti-street racing policy. this will be your one and only warning.

if you can, get a P2T ECU with a conversion harness. otherwise, the cheaper route would be the chipped P28 with a conversion harness. contact hyperduck tuning.

Is it possible to chip my current P73 (type r) ecu? And would that be better? Also how much does it cost to get a conversion harness and are there any local (professional) guys in Toronto that sell them?
