I wouldn't consider them optional. They are called decoupling capacitors, and they filter the power supply to the gate and EPROM chips. They are also .01uf not the .1uf as stated before.</TD></TR></TABLE>

as for them being .01uf and not .1uf, i copy and pasted my info from the uberdata help links.....

so you can take it up with them

They are wrong. The printed value is 103, which any good electronics tech would recognize as .01uf.

A .1uf might work fine in a USDM ECU, but capacitors that are too large can cause instability in JDM ECUs.

funny yes....

 

I've used 0.1uF caps on both USDM and JDM ECU's without any issues.

I use Radio Shack soldering irons for my chipping.
I use a 15watt to solder with and a 40watt w/ desoldering braid to desolder holes.

How could it be any more simple? Such is the nature of the beast, you can only simplify things so much before they are what they are.

If you're not a DIY sort of person, willing to do research and make mistakes here and there... uberdata isn't for you. Just as in learning anything, there are always mistakes to be made.</TD></TR></TABLE>

I know, I am a DIY type of person. Just looking at the ecu confuses me, but if people say its easy ill start reading. Thanks for letting me kows its not as hard as i thought.

Edit: If anyone has aim/aol could you im me so I can talk about it? tia.

No problem. Just hop on the uberdata board and do some reading. There's a faq on the site too, and a help file somewhere.

It's really not as hard as people make it out to be.

 

Takes a little bit of reading but you can do it, I didn't know anything about überdata last month but in the past month I've figured out so much. I've built two conversion harnesses for OBD-0 to OBD-1 and now I'm doing a 2b to 1. By summer überdata is going to be on all the turbo cars in my town. I'm loving it. Check out the Willems burner if you're on a budget you can pick them up around $50.

 

up from the archives, I need to keep this in my watched list...
