ECU Mail-In Socketing/Chipping Repair
PLEASE ALLOW 2–3 BUSINESS DAYS FOR PROCESSING AFTER YOUR ECU IS RECEIVED
This service is for customers who want to mail in their OBD1 ECU for professional chipping, socketing, repair, and upgrade services. Shipping is covered by us both ways.
REQUIRED BEFORE SHIPPING
⚠️ You MUST email clear images of your ECU at the time of ordering.
This helps us verify condition, connectors, and identify any prior damage before service begins. For large damage, water damage, burn damage, contact us before ordering.

If you want a full package including socketing, chipping, and a basemap installed, please select the option.

WHAT THIS SERVICE INCLUDES
This is more than a basic socketing service. Every ECU is carefully serviced, repaired when needed, and upgraded for long-term reliability.
Services include:
- ECU socketing and chipping
- Full ECU inspection and diagnostic check
- ECU repair services (including burnt, damaged, or failed components)
- Burnt capacitor replacement and circuit-level repair
- Professional-grade solder work and trace inspection
- Stability and communication verification
FULL CAPACITOR UPGRADE (WHAT SETS US APART)
Unlike most ECU chipping services that only replace failed parts, we go further.
Every ECU we service receives a full capacitor replacement upgrade, not just spot repairs.
This means:
- Every electrolytic capacitor is replaced
- Improved long-term ECU reliability
- Reduced risk of future failure or leakage damage
- Stronger stability for tuned and performance applications
This is one of the biggest differences between our work and typical “quick chip” or Facebook ECU services.
CN2 DATALOGGER INCLUDED
Every ECU is also equipped with a CN2 datalogging connection, allowing compatibility with supported Honda tuning and logging setups for tuning and diagnostics.
OPTIONAL UPGRADES (SELECT AT CHECKOUT)
You may further customize your ECU service with:
- Basemap installation (sold separately)
- Non-VTEC to VTEC ECU conversion (sold separately)
- Hondata S300 preparation or full S300 installation (sold separately)
- Repair damaged board (sold separately)
HOW TO SHIP YOUR ECU
Shipping label will be emailed to you with instructions after placing an order
QUALITY & TESTING GUARANTEE
Every ECU is:
- Fully tested on an engine simulator before shipping
- Verified for communication, stability, and proper operation
- Hand-inspected for solder quality and circuit integrity
WHY CHOOSE THIS SERVICE
Most ECU socketing services only do the minimum required work.
We take a different approach:
- Full component-level repair when needed
- Complete capacitor replacement for longevity
- Clean, professional soldering standards
- Extra durability beyond stock ECU lifespan
- Real testing before it leaves the shop
Your ECU is not just modified—it is rebuilt for reliability and long-term performance.
