as above, they both look pretty ropey to me...!!!



a lot of the chips on the one above look like theyve melted!!



and near the bottom left on the one above, looking a bit burnt methinks...
also, have they been chipped...?? never opened an ecu before...

 

Whats that soldered to the bottom right of the top ECU? (2 Red wires and a Blue one??) That could be a board to 'fool' the fuel cut.

Bottom one looks fooked.

The 'Chip' itself is under that bent metal bar near the middle of the ECU. Usually, the chip will have a sticker on it or some sign of having been interfered with if its non-standard.

 

the wires dont go anywhere... middle pin seems to have been cut n the blue and orange wires are tacked on the pin ends presumably to go to a switch of some sort and the red n black are just tacked to the pins either side... any clues..??

 

On the top one, are those all blow marks on the sides of the chips?

Seems odd they would all blow in exactly the same place.

The wires on the top one are where its had a piggy back board installed to fool the ECU as Christian says.

 

not sure, they dont look to clever tho...!!!
ah well, file em under b then..........

 

Pretty sure on the top one thats just a marker they put on the chips after assembly, that would be too amazing if they all blew in the same places?!

 

does seem odd...

 

They are just as good nas S2 ECUs. Some people recon they are better as they have no knock control which upsets the ignition curve.

 

was advised by powers to get one for my s2... dont think these ones are gonna work tho.....

 

Top chip looks like a later chip as it has the extra circuit board which is verticle in the shot, could be wrong but have just sold one the same on ebay.

Looking at them in detail now, there different boards, components different on each.

 

top one is blue/red/blue, bottom one is blue/red/white...

 

Top chip is deffo 90 spec probably retro fitted into a different case.

Cheers PaulT

 

top one is off a late series 2 it has the extra chip board for the knock sensor

 

ah well, either way, theyre both useless to me then....

 

look in parts for sale theres a chipped s1 ecu for sale in there he wants £100

but hes had it up for sale since november so you might be able to knock him down

 

Don't forget to mention LEE-RS stitched him up and told you to knock him down

 

LEE-RS
not in a hurry to sell it fella as i still might turbo an xr2

SafeChav
dont wory fella ive already seen the post above

mixja has already contacted me about the ecu but hes selling his lump and managment so its still no good for him

 

LEE-RS - GRIPPED

 

was going to buy it but im savin me pennies for efi now...

 

Can't go wrong there

 

ill bet it does..!!!!

 

I meant you can't go wrong doing an EFI conversion.

of course anything can go wrong........but as a yard stick, look in the FRST section and see how slow it moves, and how many posts there AREN'T saying help my RS wont start/help my RS is backfiring etc etc

 

lol! ill get there in the end.........
