HOw is this chip installed into the ecu? Is it by a zif socket or is it soldered on? I would like to get rid of the chip and go with either a dali or sos chip.
dinan ecu chip

This is exactly what I did. I bought my NSX with a Dinan chip already installed (It was in a socket in the ECU, not hard soldered), and I swapped it out for a Dali chip. While I can't compare the gains of the chip on the dyno (Dinan chip was dyno'd with stock 16" rims with 225's, Dali chip was dyno'd with 18" rims with 285's), the Air-fuel ratio of the Dali chip was much better, and the torque curve was smoother. I'll see if I can get my shop to send the graphs so I can post them up.
I really should throw the stock rims back on and see how much that affected the dyno readings...

so just locate the ecu. Open the baby up unplug the chip and plug in new chip?

The chip is soldered to the ECU-board. You have to unsolder the OEM-chip, solder the socket onto the board and then plug the Dinan Chip in. With the socket you're able to plug-and-play the chips. If you haven't done this before give your ECU to a professional or electronic specialists to prevent messing up the board.

Assuming your Dinan chip is installed the same mine was (and I don't see why it wouldn't have been), that's all I had to do with mine. Quick and easy.
Here's the dyno of my car:
thanks honda tech. I think im going to go with the dali chip.
