are all vn/vp/vr/vs ecu's the same?

[slingshot76]

gday all
just wondering if all the computers are the same as im looking on ebay for one at the moment i have a vp v6 auto and i want to get a foamy tune and i cant be without my car for a week.....so i thought the easiest thing to do would be buy a cheap ecu pull the memcal out and send it off

cheers

vn and vp are the same.
The vr on have transmission controls built in aswell.
If you can solder ask him for a eprom to install yourself.
Just need a little soldering skill and about a hour.
If you are unsure about your skill then get a socket and solder that in then just press the new eprom in.
That way when you sell it you can keep the tune.

i wasnt aware i had to solder anything to do it ....shows you how much i know or dont in this case , so to get the actual chip out it needs to be desoldered then soldered back in ect ....i feel like a dumbass for asking this

cheers

foamy will send you the entire memcal, not just the eprom, but he asks for 50 odd refundable for him to send you one before you send yours.. think thats how i read it..

Ive got 4 here for him, just never replied to pm, so theyre all sitting here, waiting to be given

Hey you dont need to solder anything unless you get just an eprom ^ normally I'll blank the exsiting eprom in the memcal. Unless I need to put a larger eprom in a VN/P memcal to turn it into a VR/S memcal or want to run a later tune in the car then I'll solder a 512k in it. In your case you just want any VN-VR memcal and there will be no soldering in either case if you send it to me. I seem to have lost all my spares out in the mail at the moment, hopefully they all come back but sometimes they don't. So I can't help you with sending one first right now

so jason, I was ment to send away my memcal to you for a tune, still next to me in express post bag, would you go one free if i send you 3 freebies? empty ya pm's..

sorry for the mini-hijack

[slingshot76]

ok thanks guys im kinda getting the idea , so i just pull out the whole memcal and send it to you greenfoam ? and its just a plug in pull out type of thing ...i should really do my research b4 i open my mouth but oh well....its just hard finding a memcal to replace mine while its been sent off all i can find is the whole ecu's on ebay so far

Hint: Confirm with the Ebay seller that the ECU still has the memcal in it.

They are often removed.

Ok guys I've got a plan the pm's have space by the way. But slingshot, you buy a memcal off XeKToReX, then everyone wins :0

[XeKToReX]

yeah he can buy one haha, I have one here labeled "vn 6cyl auto" and i think one is a 4cyl memcal?? can you use those foamy? looks the same, different chip down one end tho..

Whats the going rate for a memcal - I sold my spare for $30 - hope I did not rip em off
