i need to learn this capacitor which is C13 and above the R17 resistor. I think it has on 90 eprom dsm ecu. Can you take close up a picture from this capacitor?

@steve is MUCH better at this than I am but what I find for that surface mount capacitor is this.
"
Here is the breakdown of the A6m code:
  • A: Represents the Voltage Rating. "A" in this context usually indicates 10V.
  • 6: Represents the Multiplier, which defines the number of zeros to follow the first two digits in picofarads (
    10610 to the sixth power
    pF).
  • m: This can indicate the manufacturer's code or specific series, but sometimes it is used in conjunction with the 3-digit code to mean a 10
    μmu
    F (
    10×10610 cross 10 to the sixth power
    pF) capacitor.


Therefore, "A6m" commonly represents:
  • Capacitance:
    10μF10 mu cap F
    (10 microfarads)
  • Voltage: 10V (10 volts)
  • Type: Electrolytic or Tantalum SMD capacitor.
Note: In some specific manufacturer series, the "6" might indicate 6.3V, but 10V is a standard interpretation for the "A" prefix in many tantalum capacitor codes. "

As stated, I pulled that information from the internet.

thanks but as you said in some specific manufacturer says 6.3V I could not be sure about that. I am trying to convert hyundai ecu to dsm:) it almost done but this tantalum capacitor is not exist on the ecu.

A 10v can work in place of a 6.3v but a 6.3v cannot be used In place of a 10v device. It is the maximum they are rated. Trying to be helpful.
 
10V'luk bir pil 6.3V'luk bir pilin yerine kullanılabilir, ancak 6.3V'luk bir pil 10V'luk bir cihazın yerine kullanılamaz. Bu, pillerin maksimum nominal gerilim değeridir. Yardımcı olmaya çalışıyorum.
This chart is confusing me. it says "20v 1 uf" or it s just sample.

A6S is a 10v, 4.7uF value capacitor
 
Steve would be able to tell you. Ecmlink could do it for you.

Question tho. I know Hyundais came with the n/t 4g63. But would it work? I see the 1 ecu is already socketeddddddd :hmm:

Also unkle Buds gotcha I hope. On second thought screw Steve here's his website. 🤣 Steve

That site hasn't accepted ECU's since 2010 Bud. Just an FYI
 
Guys i think @steve will not answer me actually he gave up from me:) I am still learning it s just my hobby but maybe it s your job at the end it s not my job. As you knew I am living Turkey and Government is stopped to import everything even it s 1 dollar that s why i had to take care of myself. I have socketed this hyundai ecu and almost done. my aim is not as you thought I just want to fix my car. I have ecmlink but even i had 5 talon ecu's they are useless this hyundai ecu is was new maybe i can use it long time.
thanks.
 
So did you ever recap those other ECU's? Clean up any residue and check circuit traces, recap them and you should have a good one if it didn't take out any driver transistors.

I have a 1990 Talon, but currently the car has a 1991 ECU with ECMLink installed. Unfortunately, this ECU is not in very good condition, so I started researching alternatives. I found an unused ECU from my late father’s 1991 Elantra. After doing some research, I realized that it is actually the same as the 1990 EPROM ECUs; it just has some missing capacitors or resistors that need to be added or relocated.


I bought around five ECUs from the US, but when they realized I was purchasing from Turkey, all of them scammed me. Every ECU I received was either blown or not working. Unfortunately, I kept running into scammers.


Later on, a friend switched to Glink and gave me his old 1991 ECU, but that one wasn’t in great condition either. That’s why I ended up going down this path. My goal is not to deal with a non-EPROM ECU. Also, as you know, when you use a 1991 ECU, the RPM tends to jump around. That’s why I wanted to convert the system to 1991, but if I can manage to make this work, I’ll continue with this ECU.


So I’m keeping those five “stupid” ECUs only as spare parts. It’s almost finished; I’m just not fully sure about the C13 capacitor. I’m ordering it now—I managed to find a 10V one in Turkey. Wish me luck.


Believe me, this is a car that doesn’t really exist in Turkey, but I love it very much and I’ve spent a lot of money on it. With your help, I’ve made it this far. If you want to see how much effort I’ve put into it, you can check my Instagram account: “dsmturkey”.
 
Here is the story of Elantra ECU. Finally I succeeded to work Elantra ECU on my Talon.
There is no CEL except 12 (Airflow) because I have SD setup then I can say there is no reason to work Elantra ECU on Talon. Actually it's cheap and you don t have to buy EPROM Talon ECU.

This board was same as 90 ECU and really I seek and tired about 6 and 14 swap and jumping rpm issue. Why did I make this operation because I'm not allow to import any part from USA to Turkey anymore even if it's 1 dollar that's why I have to find solution for this solution. This ECU my father’s ECU before diying. He bought and brand new he never used it, anyway first of all I want to thank to @Jane Hacker she inspired me on this project she helped me with her genius ideas.

Here is results at this video thanks..
