e16se remaps/chips

[Curtoise]

hi all, my afm started sticking the other day so i took it apart to give it a good clean and saw this chip that looks removable.

now i have heard its impossible to remap these ecus but does anyone know what this chip is for?

it will be a simple micro chip. not all chips are remappable.

i see, but could you replace this with a whole new chip?

[mowgli]

it will basically be a lot of transistors on a chip.. changing for another won't magic any hp out of it..

i did find some info on swapping resistors to alter the fuelling, but i only found one source & haven't managed to verify it

a mappable chip has a lot more pins.

Given that chip will be obsolete (by about 20 generation by now) a 'new' one will cost more than doing a 150bhp 1.6 engine build lol

imho, leave well alone

[Curtoise]

ah right fair enough, was just curious lol
cheers

the ign ecu needs playing with too, and again, its resistors that need swapping.
