So... Who do i pay for an eprom chip for my CA?

[driftin8ez]

I have th skills to do the soldiering i just don't want/have the time or money to buy/build a rom burner and get an eraser. So... Who do i pay to burn me an eprom chip? I dont want anything special:

Just say:N60 MafSR turbo at 10-12 psino fuel cutClean up the fuel and timing maps

I emailed him, seems as if he has the Mines rom and he just burns chips for people with it....using stock injector setting and maf but he can do custom injectors and maf. I'm sure its bascially bootlegging...but...if you have the .bin file then you have the Mines tune.

I got sick and tired of trying to pursuade other CA rom tuners to let me have their Mines .bin file, people are too stingy and most of them didnt pay for it themselves anyhow. Anyways...I'll probably be ordering this for 450cc and Zmaf myself.

Im gonna have to check that out after I get my CA rebuilt. Does anyone know someone that is using this chip. Sounds legit to me.

[ch187]

what injectors and maf are those mines chips tuned for?

The seller told me they are chipped for stock injectors and MAF...but he'll change the tune for whatever maf and injectors you have. I'm not sure how much more aggressive you can get tune wise with the stock injectors and MAF....so....I'm not sure what would be better.....this Mines tune or a Horsham stage 3 chip.

I can set you up for w.e. combination of injectors, maf etc.

I was supprised the other day reading a mines rom...the file was identical to stock on an SR......

If you go with someone else just make sure they know how to properly increase the resolution of the boost portion to support 10-12 psi. This is very important in order to gain optimum power and reliability.

[johngriff]

I have a mines rom, but not the bin.

Timing is AGGRESSIVE!!

Man, fun fun fun chip, mines knows their business!

[nissanic89]

yeah i have a mines ecu in my car right now and timing is definitely agressive, but car sure did run good on it

So what are you charging. I can install it myself i just need the chip and possible the socket if you have them for sale.

How are the rest of you verifying timing to be agressive?

So without giving away any actual technical specs, how does your tune differ from something like the Mine's tune or Horsham Develpments or other "stage 3" chips that are all over the web?

As unethical as it may be I'm down for buying a "copy" of a Mine's or Horsham chip but no seller is actually going to admit their chip is a copy or a slightly altered version of a big name chip.....and I have a sneaking suspicion some sellers of these chips are simply using stock maps modified to update Maf and injectors...and nothing else.

What are your thoughts?

By the way I'd be interested in a price quote also. My ecu is already socketted, all I need is the chip. mbmbmb23 AT yahoo DOT com

same here...i would like to know the same email is [email protected]

I can not honestly say how my tune differs, I am really against copying and selling other peoples ROMs simply because I do not know how valid they really are and also would rather create something which I find to be the most beneficial as a tuner myself instead of cheat someone. Im sure at some point people will take a look at my tunes and also unfortunately copy them as well...but that is out of my control. I dont copy ROM's.

So you're saying all your tunes originally started with the OEM base map and you fine tuned it from there? I'm not trying to play 20 questions or anything, I'm just trying to get an idea of what's out there and what effort has gone into fine tuning a .bin to the point that someone is willing to stand by as it as "their" tune.

Do you have any CA18DET dyno sheets and mod lists of any of your clients? Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Every one of my tunes comes from a factory ROM. I would really like to get some dyno comparison charts up and I am working on it. I know how its effective when you can see the results of the tune on paper so I will try and get some together. I have no problem answering 20, 30 or 40 questions...ROM tuning has become shady enough...I know this.

[rico05]

I paid $10 for my ROM, from a member on here. But it was kinda a buddy hook up. Really, pick up a pocket romulator ($50 on eBay) and get LiveEdit. It's not that hard to do.

[Chris859]

I am running that mines spec chip off of ebay, from that exact seller... Yes it works, and yes it works as advertised. I have talked to him on a few occasions, and he can do custom chips for larger maf/injectors for like $75.

[oneway]

What's it take to install the chip? And how much tuning can this company do? I've got 550c injectors, z32 maf, and a Percision GT3251 Turbo.

[Chris859]

As far as I know he only does basic tunes, such as removing/rasing misc limiters, and changing injectors/maf... but you would have to contact him and ask. As far as what is involved - if you aren't good at un-soldering, and soldering small things - or have never soldered small electronic parts before I wouldn't suggest trying without a lot of practice. Basicly, you have to un-solder and remove the stock rom chip from the ecu board, then solder in a socket(comes with the new rom chip), and install the rom chip. It is really straight forward, assuming your soldering skills are up to par.

Hey guys (ImportIntelligence) I live local to BEST1tuning and know the shop he works out of so i thought i coment on his work. Ive been running a z32 N62 MAF, stock injectors, SR T25 12psi, front mount, intake and exhaust and using a SAFC2. with that setup my SAFC2 was doing all types of corrections and the car didnt feel 100%. i had BEST1 socket and chip my ECU for my setup and then also removed speed limiter, raised rev limiter. after doing so i dont even need my SAFC2 my fuel was spot on (wideband). He gave me better resolution and now im running 14psi and LOVING IT. soon IMPORTINTELLIGENCE will have the dyno in and we can go nuts tuning.BTW i have an extra CA ECU if anyone wants him to socket it and chip to send out.

[ch187]

thats good to hear. ive been emailing them, trying to get my chip. waiting on a reply so i can actually pay them. 150 for a chip. i hope i dont need an safc but i plan on picking up a JAW wideband setup just to be safe.

after the best1 chip my SAFC has been all +-0s im even thinking about selling it but its nice to see where my highest rev hit

[ch187]

what afr's are you getting?

[yourmomsrps13]

WOT full boost 14psi - 12.2/1

[driftin8ez]

OMG i just put two and two together. I'm Mike. I spoke with both of you guys down at e-town on d1gp weekend. I had the CA that i was going to have you guys chip for me. I'm still searching for a reasonable priced MAF.

So what are these called... or who makes them? I cant seem to find something.also... they will work of other cars. So I can tune my buddies Zx31 and whatnot!

[ch187]

theres a ****load of ecu tuning support i guess you wanna call it for z31s. at least the site i was on thats what the guy specialized in. had some good links and files...search for the romulator on the internet, i didnt find them on ebay either. their around.

oh that link...http://cherrypicker.tripod.com/id10.html

[dash]

check the tuning forumhttp://www.z31performance.com/forum/

[Liquid_Neon]

well thats cool... but i meant to be able to tune my pulsar and a z31 if i want too?

[ch187]

you can plug the pocket romulators into any zif socket which you can plug eprom chips into. its basically an eprom with a cable coming off of it. load in your different address files for the ca then the vg and then your base binary files and tune away. at least thats what ive gathered from it.
