this came out of a friends car, that he had bought used. hes doing a swap and when you took the ecu out to replace it he found this. no label on the ecu and when i opened it up it looks like its been chipped but im not sure. also i have no idea what chip it is....wanna get some answers for him ...... anyone know?

 

you said it came out of your freinds car, what car is it? And a chipped ECU means that it's been modified with a performance chip. and im afraid SST doesn't do performance. There is a sticker on the outside on the opposite side of the ecu plug in (the big one) the sticker usually has a barcode and somewhere you will see P29 or something like that. is your sticker missing? if it is, it's also printed on the green silocone in white print. should have a P and 2 numbers

 

i know that....if it were that simple id know what this is.....thats why im asking this to the people who chip ecus and who could recognize them......the stickers are not on the ecu

 

bump

 

Well think about it.
What kind of car did it come out of?
What kind of engine is in the car??
Is it OBD 2 or has it been converted to OBD 1?

There has to be a thread on here somewhere saying what ecu goes with what engine...

thats not helpful at all...i know it should be a virgin p28....question is does it look like a virgin p28? i dont know about the atanomy of it....someone told me its chipped, since im not sure im trying to verify that

 

just buy a chip that u like for ur motor, dohc or sohc, and pop it in and ur good to go

the ecu looks like its a converted ecu, like it was made into a p28 vtec

SST is the brand of the chip not the program


all u need to go is get a new chip, put it in, simply pull put the old, push in the new, and u know what your running and the spec's

how easy is that

thank you sir

 

Indeed, it's chipped, only way to know what's on it is to send it to someone to read it, just get a new chip. SST chips are nice, flash reburnable and can hold two programs.

how would you switch between the 2 programs if it were so equiped....btw ill just pull the chip and get a new one but i was wondering none the less

 

You can do a little wiring trick and hook it up to a switch, and flip it back and forth for the programs.
