Just wondering if anyone knows a place that'll socket my Evo 3 ecu and move a jumper. I need it ready for ECM link. But don't wanna ship it to America. I'm sure there is someone local that can do it :) in in melbs

Make sure you replace your capacitors while your in there if they haven't already been changed out.

no..don't jump to conclusions now!

That's to socket it, replace the caps, for the chip and for chip to be written to suit...

Yes, to replace all caps and make sure it works fine, plus a new eeprom plus writing the chip

Meek charges $90 to write chips

^ Ummm. I don't think that's correct..I had my chip re written/ re mapped two weeks ago and paid only $40

Chris and I did several fly bys whilst logging my car to make sure everything was right too after having the chip re written twice to try different maps to get the car running perfectly all I paid was $40 ?

I had Troy(Burnzy) do mine. Very happy. You should get him to socket and tune for u too. He is a member on here and have socketed and tuned heaps of Evos.
He's located in Springvale.
Send him a pm. His link:

If you were in SA i could do it for you I have done about 20 of them(VR4s and EVOs) now, Im an electrician who works a lot with electronics. Your best bet to get it done locally would be an appliance/TV repair shop because they normal have an Electronics Technician onsite and they will have a proper vacuum desoldering station which makes it a quicker and neater job.
To put a socket, Move the jumper and change capacitors normally takes me all up about an hour thats including removing and reapplying the conformal coating on the circuit board and using a vacuum disoldering station.

I reckon socket the isc chips too. Ic105 and ic106. If ever you blow a isc driver, it will be very easy to replace. I have thought about fusing the driver outputs too, so as to protect the board itself from damage by burnt tracks

Good idea with the fuses. I probably wouldn't put a socket in them until I blow one and have it out though. I m lazy hahaha.
