i think he means a good hot soldering iron not to cold and not to hot. i think somewhere arond the 350 Degrees Celcius.

You can get the radiohack braid at anny good electronics shop. just say that you need stuff to absorb solder and the guy will know what you need.

Bump for my question

Like this thread needs a bump.........

Wow....4 days and almost 4000 views. Blake u should be proud!

 

B94/ The 29c256 chips is what I was trying to tune with on the batronix, and I received the same error you had previously. Let me know if it works for you..

Now how it went... I purchased a Xicor 28c256 chip.. and could not write all of the bits. Spent several hours trying every possible combination of writes to the thing, and still the same errors - could not write to sector 0 and sector 10.

I just ordered a 29c256 from http://www.moates.net/gmecm/hworder.html (thanks to slashDEVslashNULL for the link) and I will post how it works in the Batronix unit once I get it.

On that link above if you look at the bottom of that page at S4 the 28-pin Low-Profile ZIF will that plug into the 28pin socket? Cause I want to do what that guy that had http://www.stupid-fast.com web site how he cut a whole in the ECU cover and elevated the socket so you could change chips without taking the cover off.

Yes, the S2 or the S4 will work for that. I also ordered the S2 - I did not like the looks of the the S4 (the way that it clamps ths chip in looks freaky!@)

there is an 800x600 version, or use a virtual resolution driver to extend your desktop.

Its desoldering braid and you can get it at Radioshack. I think he means very hot iron. I use a 40 watt when desoldering and a 15 watt to solder. The braid absorbs a lot of heat and the 15 does not work very well, the hotter iron lets you get in and out quickly with less risk of damage since there is little time for the board to abosorb heat and cause damage. The 40 is too hot for normal soldering, 15watt is plenty.

Just a heads up for everyone, most people use the s4s because they are smalller and will clear everything in the case. If you are elevating by stacking the sockets it may not be a problem but if you just want a zif to put in your ecu it will need to be the s4.

 

Also been using uberdata for a couple months now. Runs like a champ. Sam and I put the three bar map sensor, and 550cc injectors in, and it works like a charm

 

I'm gonna get the Willem burner, as suggested by the more knowledgeable folks in this thread, however I wanna clairfy which chips I need to get. I don't wanna buy some but then have them go haywire with an error during burning (baaaad shiznatty).

what chip should I buy like 3 or 4 of?

 

Recommended chip is the AT29c256
It can be written on and erased with your programmer. Cost more but is easily reusable.

Cheaper is the 27c256, this neds a special UV light to erase (light can be made for less than $20 I believe)

I currently use a AT29c256 with my Willems

 

ok, I'll go with the 29c256 ones

I have another question I've come up with, heh. If I get an ecu that's already been chipped, will I be able to remove the chip in there and just pop in my 29c256 after I've put a basemap onto it? Hopefully so, cuz that'll save me soldering.

Radiohack = radioshack. Thus go to radioshack to purchase it.
You need a very hot solderig iron, at least 40w

 

Well, I've purchased the Willems unit... should be shipping soon. I also have a lead on a cheap P06 ECU. So next I need a new distributor, some wiring harness clips + plugs, and an O2 sensor... then socketing the chip... and I'll finally have joined the 21st century

lol pueblo, your at 70% already

what about ecus that have been "socketed" for hondata, is that different than chipping?

 

This software is awesome!
I havn't used it, but rest assured I will.
It would be nice if I could spec maps past 9000. is their a particular reason why 9000 is a magic number?

 

I believe it's the same thing. Just remove the chip that's in there and install the new Uberdata chip.

Someone that has more experience, please reply... PHiZ would know!

I second that

 

yup, just pop it in and go!

 

w00t! I just picked up a p28 ready to accept a chip for 100 bucks.

now to buy my Willems and chip...
