Eprom chip!

[Red93coupe]

Alright I found the egay ecu chips but I don't trust them at all....I have heard some guys on here can do it, I was wondering who they are and if the still can preform this service?

[ca18detgabby]

c-rad used to do it........ but not anymore.

I had my eprom done by jestr tuning(C-rads friend) and they did a real clean job.

best1tuning.com does

are you looking to chip your ECU that is already socketed or do you need it socketed too?

[Red93coupe]

Here comes a dumb question what does socketed mean?

In stock form the EEPROM is soldiered directly into the board. Most of the time when you get a chip installed, they will soldier in a "socket" that allows you to quickly remove and install the EEPROM's so that you don't have to de-soldier and soldier in a chip every time you want to change the chip out.

Makes sense. I just e mailed best1 for a quote. I'm assuming its going to be like $300, but it will be worth it. So you guys trust these guys with your tune? Do they usually do a great job?

jestr tuning did it for me for $150. I didnt know much about them but C-rad recommended them and they did a really clean job.

There are quite a few companies:

drdrift.com-austrailianorrisdesigns.com-europebest1motoring-U.S.jimwolf technologies-U.S.

That all i can remeber off the top of my head. If you plan on changing your setup as the years go by definatly get a socketed ecu. Do not ever buy an ebay chip.

Best1 wants $375 shipped for mine. $100 after that for a retune. But I think he's installing it with a socket too.

Well my friend up here is a wiring/soldering guru, he makes his own circuit boards and such where would I find a socket?

[yourmomsrps13]

I can vouch for BEST1TUNING, his work is awsome and his soon to be released inventions for OEM ECUs are rad! I can't wait for him to retune for my new setup T28R+HKS 256s

[biosehnsucht]

radioshack, fry's electronics, etc, you could order from digikey.com if you can't find any locally

[JNM240]

I got my EEPROMs and my ZIF socket, chip burner, and even my EPROM Emulator from http://moates.net. You will want to grab a DE-soldering iron from Radioshack, and a good, hot soldering iron as well to install the ZIF socket.
