http://www.ecucontrol.com/how_to_mod_my_ecu.htm is a good basic explanation of chipping.

http://www.pgmfi.org/twiki/bin/view/Library/WebHome is another good place for information

you need an EEPROM (27c256, 29c256, etc.) and a 28 pin socket (preferably a ZIF socket). Holding the ecu with all the printing on the chips right side up, look in the bottom right hand corner. You will see IC1 printed on the board, and the chip should have OKI and a 65 printed on it. Desolder that bitch and drop in your ZIF.

He's running an OBD-0 PR4. That site is an uberdata site (obd-I).

ok after a lot of reading i decided to go with a 27c256 and a ZIF thru hole socket but now i need to know what burner will work for these. i somebody can find one for sale on ebay or sell me one of their old ones or whatever please let me know so i can start the hands on learning process.thnx guys mike

If i were you i would go with a 29c256, unless you wanna have to use a UV light everytime to erase the chip. Anyway, do a google for Batronix or Willems. Both are great burners.
