Chipping an ECU?

notorious1_85 · 27th April 2007, 04:18 PM

Anyone know of a professional company/ person that can INSTALL/ SOLDER a custom chip into an ecu local to Auckland?

I know you can do it yourself; although it is risky and an expensive mistake!

If there are any write ups on it or contact details please link me.

It'l help me and a friend.
Cheers

the problem ull find is trying to track down a surface mounted IC that is needed for the JDM cases. from what i found u cant get these in NZ.

the soldering bit is easy and isnt the least bit risky if u know what ur doing

thats the writeup i followed

Contact Tarmac on the forums. He wrote my chip, and I believe can also offer installation services - I purchased a socketed ECU so it is just a matter of plugging the chip in.

chipping its the easy bit, if its a JDM ecu its tracking down the surface mounted IC thats the hard bit.

US cases are easy as they use through hole IC's instead of surface mounted ones

use a solder sucker to suck the solder off the old chip. remove it.
put a chip socket in solder it up
an plug ur new chip in.

Ah piece of piss then US ECU, like soldering for kids. YOu can probably get all the hardware from N.Z too

JDM ECU is soldering for small figers and doctors
