[jd1828]

i didnt know you lived in st paul park. i could have just brought you my ecu when it was out of the car a few days ago.

sounds good. i'm in the eastside st.paul. i have some caps if can do those too.

i'll let you know when i'm ready.

later.

The chips in the ECU are permanently soldered in place, when you socket them, you remove the chip and solder a socket in its place, and the chip gets plugged back into the socket.This allows the chips to be easily removed and replaced.I live in St Paul Park, and I have a whole rail of 28 pin dip sockets.
and why would you want to be able to do this? is there a benefit of some sort?

To run different chips with stuff like higher revlimiters, 2-step, no fuel cut, non-stock MAS compensation, larger injector compensation, different timing maps, etc.

Thx Shane :)

Nash, are you just waiting for the socket? I just got in a shit load of different sockets, I can't remember the pin config on the DSM ecu, but I probably have a socket for it.
No, I have a socket. I'm just waiting on my ECU. If/When I get it I'll be getting hold you to get it socketed.

i'm 21. i have the ecu, but i don't get paid till next week. spent most of my money on my rebuilt. so i have to wait.
i think i can do the socketing itself, but i'm not so sure about replacing the caps.

have anyone done the keydiver mod/chip? that is why i wanted to socket the ecu.
where in eastside your from? i'm located on case and johnson, near palen.

later.

Unless you've desoldered a chip with a high pin count before, I wouldn't recommend it, it's pretty easy to tear the solder pads from the board, then you're screwed.Anyway I grew up right off Rose and Duluth.

Does anyone know if certain perameters can be changed on those chips without losing everything else on them?

I want to lower the rev limit and change the injector sizes on the TMO chip im buying without losing the security features and such.
