| - | ====== "What do I need to get started with ECMLink?" ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | We get asked this question a lot. And like many others before it, it's a simple question with a complicated answer. It always boils down to "well, it depends". | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ====== Simple stuff - the basics ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Platforms ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | First, let's get the simple stuff out of the way. ECMLink is compatible with at least the following turbo-charged platforms. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | * 1990 Eclipse, Talon, Laser | ||
| - | * 1991-1994 Eclipse, Talon, Laser | ||
| - | * 1995-1996 Eclipse, Talon | ||
| - | * 1997-1999 Eclipse, Talon | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | In addition, we have a version available for the following as well. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | * 1992-1995 Lancer EVO 1-3 | ||
| - | * 1992-1995 Lancer 1.8L GSR | ||
| - | * 1992-1995 RVR | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ===== ECUs ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ==== EPROM ECUs ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ECMLink is only compatible with EPROM model ECUs. If you're not sure what that means, look at the [[:socketid|Socket ID page]] for details. Basically, it means your ECU must be one of the ECUs produced at the factory with an external EPROM chip. We desolder that EPROM chip, install a socket in its place and then install our ECMLink flash module into this socket. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | So check your ECU to find out if you have an EPROM ECU or not. Another good page for reference is our [[:epromid|EPROM ECU page]]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Non-EPROM ECUs ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | If you do have an EPROM ECU, then all hope is not lost. You can either locate a compatible EPROM ECU on various traders or classifieds or E-bay auctions. Or we can often convert you non-EPROM ECU to EPROM for you. Those conversions are complicated and more expensive than a standard socket job on an EPROM ECU and we're often out-of-stock on those conversion boards for weeks on end. But we do still offer the service and even it's not currently listed on our website, we can sometimes allocate a spare conversion board for someone ready to order. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | To get some idea of what's involved in this conversion process, have a look at the following. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | * [[:nonepromprocess|1990-1994 Non-EPROM conversion process]] | ||
| - | * [[:nonepromprocess2g|1996-1997 Non-EPROM conversion process]] | ||
