Hey guys,
I had a question about chipped/socketed ECUs. If my ECU is socketed for Hondata(which I'm presently running), would I need to do anything to it to make it compatible with other tuning programs like Crome? Are the resistor/jumper connections specific to Hondata, or can I just pull out my Hondata and run a normal chip/Crome/etc?

 

With the S200 stuff, you can just take all the hondata stuff out of the ecu and convert it directly over to crome. The S300 would not be compatible with the male socket installed.

 

A better way to describe it would be:
Hondata s100/s200 ecus are all socketed/chipped with a 28pin socket and chip.
They have a 4 pin header which is used for the s100 or s200 system to plugin,

Crome, Neptune, eCtune, Uberdata almost everything besides hondata s300 use a 28 pin socket.

Hondata s300 uses male pins instead of a socket & 4 pin header as 93turbo16 described.

To run a different system besides hondata, simply unplug the s100/s200 unit & install the new eprom chip into the socketed ecu

 

Sweet, thanks for the help guys
