RX8 immobilizer system
 

Is there away to get rid off the immobilzer so i wouldnt need a key with a transponder. Is there someway to start the car without this system. Dont worry im not stealing rx8's im trying to put a renesis on an FB rx7.

The RB 'Race' flash removes the immobilizer function for just such a use.

I have an ECU with the Race Flash already on it, which may be up for sale soon - going turbo.

RB=Racing Beat? is this service in their catalog? Thanks by the way for the info.

yes and yes. it's under their engine mods for the 8

is the AP also capable of doing this? If he plans on sticking with the stock PCM anyways, might as well have one...

I dont understand, why does he need to flash Rx-8's ECU when he is trying to put the 13B-MSP into his FB.

What he should do is just get an aftermarket ECU management. I think you should try Motec or F-Con V-Pro.

The RX8 has all sorts of sensors that the RX7 dosn't have and would be very difficult to install. An aftermarket ECU would be a better route rather than trying to get the OEM PCM to work correctly.

Im done with aftermarket parts. I have most of the parts already to do a transplant, Using an aftermarket ECU will be costly and re fabricating the engine like putting a new throttle body,tuning,OMP(dont want to premix)trigger and ignition is also a headache. This has been done before in japan. My goal is to have a smog legal FB with an rx8 engine not a race car,been there done that. Also I want to be able to use a factory shop manual from an rx8 and also purchase rx8 parts that will be available for a while.

Good luck with a swap like that,

If you want Stock ECU to work, you pretty much have to move EVERYTHING over, including all wires and sensors.

i have. the only sensors im missing are the wheel speed sensors for the ABS module to communicate with the PCM through the CAN lines for the speedometer.

sorry for reviving old thread, but just wondering how things went with removing the immobilizer and all since there wasnt any updates.

he failed obviously.

If i want to swap a pcm/ecu from a donor car all i need is the ecu and immobilizer module from the donor car or do i need the ignition components as well?
