Beginner tuning setup? What is needed?

[aleks77]

is that "no soldering required", or is that "no, soldering IS required"

sorry the coma threw me off hah

no need to solder at all. mrx does all the soldering you need. all you do is burn the chip and pop it in the zif socket.
heres a lil link on how to chip ecu's.

that blue socket is what you will be inserting and taking your chip out of everytime.

ok i get that part, now how do i get the data onto the chip? i need to connect the chip to the computer somehow correct? is this what a chip burner does? it connects via usb/serial and you put the chip in it? I think i finally get it

MRX do youyr ecu's come with the ZIF socket or is that have to be purchased after i get the ecu?

thanks guys!

yea, check out the for sale thread. No soldering is required. I didn't even know i put a comma in that sentence last time lol. The chip burning process is no different from burning to a rewritable cd. The chip is your cd and the chip burner is the cd burner. You burn information to the chip and place it in the ecu, you burn information to a cd and place it in the cd player. The blue ZIF socket makes it easy to change the chip in and out because of the locking lever type device.

hey im new to this, but i have a simple question;

i will be boosting my f22a1 soon, and if i buy an mrx ecu, i still need a chip burner if im gonna tune it using uberdata/wideband? does this mean i have to solder a new chip in everytime? thanks a lot!

This is also where that emulator comes in handy. Rather than burning a chip each time you make an adjustment, you can just load it on the emulator and fire that up. It will save a lot of time when you learn to use it.
