Hi,
Many of you know that the KZJ78 ECU is a sore topic. These ECUs (AT version) are plagued with the leaky capacitors of the 1990s that caused great many of them to self destruct.
Being an obscure, JDM only offering, the KZJ78 ECU is now unobtainium. And if you would find a used working unit it would not be cheap. This has led meny to go the full mechanical route, which has it's pros and cons, of course.
I want to experiment with the possibility of hot-wire dumping the EPROM of a dead unit and then flashing it into some other, cheap and reliable ECU, matching the pinout. As far as I can tell this has never been done, yet.
I would be interested in any donations or reasonable prices for dead ECUs.
Let's make this happen!
Cheers!
