Whats the diffence in a EPROM ecu and a NON EPROM ecu?

 

eprom ecu you can use with a dsmlink. It came in the 95 cars and an extremely few 96 cars.

 

They also had eproms for 1g cars. Basically it is an ecu that can be chipped. It was installed by mitsubishi in the first year or two of each generation so that if they had to they could pull the eprom and reprogram it to make any changes that might be necessary.

 

i am glad someone else had info on this

 

Thank you for the responses.

 

Eproms come in a lot of car, from dsm's to nissans to porsche's.....

 

an eprom is a flashable (rewriteable) chip

 

no, an EEPROM is reprogramable, an EPROM is not. it is burnable once. (the original one) EEPROM units are generally made to where the chip is soldered to the board....EPROMs are removable.

EEPROMS are generally found on 96 and newer cars, since OBDII communication was standard by then, making it easier for car manufacturers to to a reflash, instead of making a new chip (cheaper also)

 

Doesnt matter anymore I contact the ECU manufacturer and is not eprom or eeprom it is normal so I can not sell it for what I need to get for it. If anyone on here needs a turbo fwd DSM 1st gen ECU pm me a price and I will see what I can do.
