i have a Nerve essential ECU it is a removable eprom, opened up the case and which had stickers all over it, opened it up and there was a Square eprom i think they call it,

with essential sticker on it,

obviously this is remaped, i want to check the tune, obviously ill have to buy a eprom programmer/reader that takes this square type of eprom do they call this a DIP socket?

what do i use to read and edit this rom as in software?

your help would be much apreciated.

rom is downloadeable via consult cable with the ecu in your car. no need to take the chip out.

please provide me with a link or eg. of this consult cable, ill pretty much buy exactly what is needed, what about software what can be used to view and tune?

The r33 chip contains the map inside it. Essentially, you need to buy a h8 processor. r33 chips are one right only.

therefore, you have to buy a eprom writer which can do h8, and you need to buy a h8 - they're about $70 each

Eseentially, tuning is not really a diy thing

Nissandatascan has a rom dump feature so i guess so.

Yes you need a consult cable - i bought the plms one and it works fine.

u can use calumsult or tecu (both free) to dump rom. best software for rom dumping (in order) is calumsult(using old exe), tecu, and then datascan. calumsult works 100% all the time, tecu works probably 95% of time with serial consult cables (less often with usb/serial converters), and i can never complete a full dump with datascan.

however aftermarket ecu's might have protection against downloading rom with consult (ie they could have found the code in ecu that handles rom downloads and disabled it)
