Are you sure? If you're talking about the AT models i don't know, the MT are limited by the long gearing but surely not to 131mph.

to erase the brain you would have to have to remove the brick while it was 1/2 way through loading a map to the pcm or try starting the car while it was loading.

Did you do either of these things ? - if not describe exactly what you did do .

What happens when you try and load another map into it now ? IE what colour light do you get on the brick?

I imagine there may be some that are not, but the ROMs that I use all include a multi-gear speed limiter.

bse50

Uhm... 130 mph is like 200kph. Maybe you're talking about a 160mph limiter (around 250kph) and that would make more sense because that's around what everybody is seeing as the top speed. Give or take instrument tolerances etc.
Do you care to investigate?

MazdaManiac

iTrader: (3)

No.
Many (if not most) of the EUDM, AUDM and JDM models are governed to 211 KPH in 5th and 6th gear.
I'm actually looking at the ROMs as I type this.

I've had many customers in Europe and Asia with RX-8s that are artificially limited to this speed and asked me to remove the limiter.

bse50

That's weird jeff to say the least...
For 2 reasons mostly: the 170kw version is advertised with a top speed of 235kph and, at least here in italy, EVERYBODY reported speeds above your mark. 40kph of difference can't be an instrument error
If you're talking about the autos\5gear rx8s then i can trust you because i don't know squat about them as stated previously.
Can you please mail me the "limiter" screenshot? i'm curious to see what it looks like in the map.

MazdaManiac

Its not much to look at.
There are just the 4 speed limiter pages, which are all just one cell.
There is, as with most things in this PCM, a hysteresis entry as well.

I have a customer in Australia and a customer in the Ukraine (both 2005 "HiPower") that I calibrated last night that both had hard speed limiting that I removed this way.

bse50

This sounds really strange, maybe they have an "east" market PCM and a central europe one...
Did you have to remove it from the map of the italian morons as well? Those crybaby often posted pics of them @245kph or so before the AccessPORT.
I know that i can run my 6th gear to the limiter with a shorter final gear as well, without maps of any kind.
We're both talking about facts too, why would that math not apply in real life driving? that's something that PCMs can't do.

I'm surprised to hear the aussie car with a limiter . I thought their market was limit free like our local market is .
Most of the 8s in NZ are JDM imports however that are limited to 189km/hr.

Thanks Guys.

Thanks to your advice so, I didn't buy AT's ECU,

If I had another ECU data, I didn't send prestering Hymee. I have only N3H3EU JDM Stock data from Hymee. Do you know that how can I download another ECU data? I don't know about it.

Actually, I had some trouble when I programmed ECU. I had waited for finish about 2 hours, so I phoned Hymee. Luckily, my car could start at the time. However, I felt anxiety.

So, I wanted to download my ECU. Because, my friend's car was dead when he had re-programmed his ECU. But, scanalyzer pro didn't support this function. I could see "GREEN" of brick. Sometime it changed to "RED" when it finished re-programming.

Thanks!

Is it your car , or your freinds car with dead ECU ?
Or both ?

What part no. is his ECU . If it was the same as yours you may be able to swap them over and try starting the dead car with the good ecu .
I have done this successfully , although neither car had an immobiliser in my case.
If you can start either car with the same ECU then you are half way to solving your problem .



Just for your info . The re-programming of the ECU takes 1min. Always time it and you will not be so anxious about it . Never remove the brick while the light is solid RED .
If it flashes red and takes longer than 2 minutes without completing the download - then it is safe to remove the brick even though it has not done the download .

Does the Hymee software have a "de-bricking" routine like the AccessPORT?

It has a recovery mode; but I think it is still in development.

Herry

My friend's car was Subaru WRX. He used ecu-flash. Surabu was not in Korea either. He bought HKS F-Con VPro Gold from japan. He needed so long time for solve it. So I'm worried about.

I disconnected it when it is red, I assented to the Hymee's Mark when I was waiting about 2 hours. It was the first time.

Flashing red or solid red ?
Have yoyu tried loading in a new map again since this happened - if not try it .
Reload the program you want into the brick and try again . It's a long shot but I've seen some funny stuff happen with this program .
Keep pestering Hymee as well - he really needs to do something about this issue .

If that does not work I think you need to make contact with a Mazda service person in Japan to advise you .
You may get away with just buying a new ECU - worst case you will need the computer part of the dash as well .
That is why I suggested the 2nd hand parts earlier ....

Herry

Hi guys,

I bought sCANalyser Pro Tuner.
I bought VCM
I bought ECU....

I received new ECU from ebay last Tuesday. Of course, it have to re-flash new program for my car. But I don't know INCODE so, I couldn't re-flash it and couldn't operate my car 5 weeks.

Here is South Korea that no one Mazda service center. Mazda japan didn't help me. Anybody help me please.

New ECU information (from eBay) (Of couse, my rx-8 didn't start)



I tried to change VIN to my original VIN only, used security access option of VCM. SE3P137763 is VIN of my RX-8. (Of couse, my rx-8 didn't start, either)



Thanks!

Hey Brettus,

Since you have already experienced an issue where you needed the security reset by the Mazda Dealer, and your Mazda Dealer's deal with JDM cars, perhaps it might be possible for them to help Herry getting the "INCODE" for his PCM based on the screen shots of the VCM above?

It seems it is difficult to get these things outside of the US, where by law they must provide the means for a 3rd party to service/fix a vehicle. I tried with a mazdatechinfo account with a security code subscription, but they refused to help me cause I am outside NA.

Herry's initial problems seem to relate to incorrect use of the Pro Tuner in the first instance, similar to the only other two instances of this I have seen (remember Dave's problems??). I have sent him instructions on using the recovery mode, but I am not sure of the exact state of his original ECU - I get conflicting information, but probably it is the language barrier.

If that fails, we are back to marrying his new USDM ECU to his cars security system. That can be done using the VCM (like the Mazda Dealer does), but he needs the matching INCODE, which must be "asked" for.

I have spent a lot of time, emails and phone calls trying to help Herry. So far it has been the first ECU that has appeared to be in a non-recoverable state, but lets not give up yet. I have plenty of folk using this without problem.

Cheers,
Hymee.

/\ OK , I'll go in and see if they can help but I'm a little scetchy on what I need to ask them to do ...

Hymee

iTrader: (1)

You need to show them the screen shots showing the OUTCODEs and ask them to get the matching INCODEs. The one he really needs is for the JM1FExxx VIN number.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Hello guys!

I got P1688 (OMP problem) in 2004 RX-8.

can it be deleted and permanently erased whole thing with some software? To manipulate ECU so it doesnt matter.

I have checked OMP etc and I oil my car with 2-stroke to gastank.

So I just want to get the code away.

And... my car is also in limp mode, ofcourse.

Please help - software and advices needed.
