Has anyone out there opened up their ECU? And taken a pic of the internals?

I know someone was going to a while back... when there was talk of dsmtalk for our cars.... If not I'll just open mine up at the weekend....

I wanna see what CPU we got running in there... ;)

if you do pay special attention to re-sealing the computer so no moisture gets in there

It's surrounded in an anti-element gel. You won't be able to see anything and could possibly destroy the ecu trying to remove it. be careful.

it might even be a better idea to buy a used one and have that as your guinea pig

I can remove the gel no problem... Have all the right tools at work.

You see I work for www.centroidcnc.com and we have a full team of electrical engineers and programmers.... and we're looking at other avenues that we can explore... the 420A being one of them.

I just wish I had more time to work on my projects for the 420A... :shrug

i have an old one floating around....the gel kind of disinagrates if you try to take it out.... ill see if i can dig it up and maybe take some pictures

I think it is safe to say we will NEVER have dsmlink for our cars. Honestly I don't know why nobody has made anything like it, a lot of people are into the 420a platform.

this is kinda interesting :wary

PLEASE NOTE:You must send us your ECU after the auction for reprogramming. Simply remove your ECU (Located inside the center console,or Left kick panel,please see your repair manual) from your car and mail it to us.We will retyurn it within 2 working days!

WE can reprogram your factory fuel and ignition maps to increase your hp by a min of 10% Redline RPM is also raised to take advantage of the increased hp. Top speed limiter is also removed. This programming is Vital to get maximum gains from additional Bolt-ons! ORDER YOURS TODAY!

please, they need to ge the fuck outta here, I'll believe it when I see it, it's not like our ECU is supposed to be crazy to reprogram, or maybe it is, either way the market for the 420a is huge, all the Neon guys and us, fuck I don't know why people are sittin on their ass
