spoon ECU ??

LOL

who sold it to you?

I bet it's just a re-chipped stock P30.

Open it up and take a photo of the eprom. If its socketed in place, its a fake.
If the Eprom is directly soldered in, good chance its legit.

is there a big different between a chipped one and a spoon one ? sorry it sounds a bit noob , but i am new to honda

well.. u can chip a stock ecu.. lol thats the diffrence
how much did u pay for it if u dont mind me asking?

i am talking about the performance , sorry if i didn't make myself cear :( , thanks a lot for the replies RMN15N :P , keep this thread going ~~

can someone post a stock OBD1 ecu ? thanks

where is the Eprom located ? by some reason i don't have a DC anymore , can someone teach me please ? thanks again

open up the casing and take a photo of the electrical doodads inside, the side that isnt the back/
how much u pay?

if it says "P30-G00" then it's a "G" ecu.. the "G" stands for 'Global'.. the ECU's that say "J00" are Jap-spec ECU's.

Spoon ECU's are simply OEM Honda ECU's that run a spoon chip rather than an OEM chip. there is no 'chip-saddle' soldered in as spoon solders their own chips into the mainboard themselves.

so I'd say that Spoon would use the JDM ECU's... ie "J00"..

jdm ecus are smaller, more square, not rectangular adn yes denoted with a J

i just opened it , where can i see the Eprom ?

EPROM - Let's start with the last three letters. ROM means Read-Only Memory. This is a permanent storage place for computer programs. Computers can read their operating program from this device. It cannot be written over (as opposed to RAM, which we are sure you have heard of). It is made with the computer program already etched in right at the factory. PROM means Programmable ROM. A PROM is a device like a ROM, except that it leaves the factory blank and can be filled with a program once, and only once. An EPROM is an Erasable PROM. It can be erased after being written, but only with an intense ultra-violet light source. That is typically why you see thick labels on them - so they won't accidentally get erased due to prolonged exposure to sunlight or flourescent lights. Why don't auto manufacturers use ROMs or PROMs instead of EPROMS? We suspect that at the beginning of a model year, many things in the ECU computer program are still in flux. After all, the smog testing for the entire model line may not have been completed yet, and the smog rules themselves might have changed since they designed the car. In order to accomodate any last minute quick fixes, the manufacturers use EPROMs so they won't get stuck with a bunch of ECUs that have the wrong program in them.
