This is a multiboard ECU with a 1K and 8K ROM chip. The two chips need to be removed and jumpers changed on the board before the NIStune board...
Page 10 - very careful
NIStune Type 1 Hardware Installation Page 10 of 10 To remove the two ROM chips (U3 and U4) desolder from the top side of the ECU. Be very careful with the heat of the desoldering gun because the pads on these ECUs lift very easily. It doesn't take much to break a track on these earlier circuit board...

NIStune Type 1 Hardware Installation Page 29 of 29 9. Upgrading ECU MAF hardware Early model engine control units such as Z31, R31, most HR31 (1985-1988) and VL Turbo use a 2 -7 volt hotwire airflow meter. These air flow meters then have their voltage converted to 0 - 5 volts for the internal microp...

NIStune Type 1 Hardware Installation Page 32 of 32 10. Reading the factory ROM image ECU Type A (1984-1985) These ECUs have two non-standard ROM chips (1K and 8K) which require special adaptors to read them in a standard EPROM programmer. It is recommended you send the ECU to NIStune developments fo...
