I want to sell my hondata and keep my ecu. Will I be able to use the ecu with out using the hondata blue box if I put a stock burned chip in it?

Sorry if it's a silly question. It's late and I gotta know quick.

if you cut J1 your ecu will revert back to stock

What is J1?

right next to the 29c256 (hondata chip) the white thing. yours might not look like mine but its a jumper cut it and it will revert it back to stock

Holy sh*t thanks for the pic. If I cut that, how will the computer revert to stock? I thought that the hondata chip replaced the stock chip. Does it just bypass the stock program or something?

cut the jumper, the ECU reverts back to stock, it wont read any add on. your ecu is chipped now. without the jumper it wont read it

The Hondata chip is an add-in chip, you will see it as the only chip not soldered to the board, but placed in a socket instead. It will read "29C256". You should pull that out and sell it with the Hondata, and when you cut J1 it tells the ECU to run from the stock ROM rather than the external one, which would be the Hondata chip.

Thanks you guys. This is the best response to any question I ever asked at H-T!

Nix, what you want pics of my car for!?

couple friends want to see it.....especially the wheels!!!

Ok, so I don't see a jumper in there. WTF? I unplugged the blue box from the ecu and took it for a spin with my 520 injectors in there hoping that it would stall and die because it had too much fuel. Well, it ran fine. What can I do? this is what it looks like in there.


And Nix, here you go.

Cant really see it in your pic, but look its the purple outlined part in this pic and it should be labled j1 on the board.

TeStUdO

see where i circled at?? im pretty sure thats j1 on your ecu. it should say j1 on the board right next to it, your jumper just looks different than mine. make sure it says j1 next to it and cut it. it should go back to stock
