It's there. I have it. I've looked through some older WRX 16 bit ECU roms with it. I just don't know enough to really figure out what I'm looking at, and don't have a deep enough background in real programming to pick it up easily.

Geesh, my head is spinning after reading all this. Great info though. Now I have to go do some more reading to answer a few questions I have, haha.

I'll tear around the torrents and see what I can dig up.

I have a couple good ideas to make quick work of this, including a de-compile of a certain tuning application written in Win32 using Borland C++ and Visual Studio. I also found I had a few maps mis-labelled in a joint XML def that Vansickey started and I was working to finish that was based off a v1 Mazda ROM tuned by RB.

Depending on the information I find inside the apps associated with a loaned piece of equipment from a friendly forum member the information I could pull together could open up many doors for both flashers and tuners.

As I get some good data to show I'll create a page on my personal blog to openly share it with the community. Link to come...

NOTE: For those who worry about the future and stuff that disappears in the months after a thread goes dormant, I'll reassure you with the knowledge I've operated my site for more then 8 years and don't plan to stop now.

Well I'll take it back, Harrison R&D seems to have pulled their act together with the Apex-OBDScan and RX8 Flasher system. The ability to read the existing PCM program is a nice feature too.

There is an explanation of cooling fan function and its associated tables on pages 24-25.

Also, I have the SAE J2534 standards "Recommended Practice for Pass-Thru Vehicle Programming" (2002) and the 2006 update, "Optional Pass-Thru Features" in PDF form. PM me about it.

Hey buddy do you still have this pdf? The link does not work. Thanks.

Ah, nice to be home after about 2 weeks of travel. Anyway, I'll be digging into making definition files over the coming weeks. I also found the AccessTuner PDFs to be helpful in naming the maps that I have found in both "version1" and "version2" ROMs for the RX-8.
