Sending an ECU there to "repair" and getting it back doesn't involve any tax here if you do it correctly, only the shipping. So it can easily be a lot less.

of course it would be of course it would be nice to have that capability packaged in with a piece of software that could monitor the various systems etc just like mazda would with their service tool. you know a can capable program that would read and clear codes etc etc. i wonder who would have a product like that that could flash too......

So, do you bring Mohomid to the mountain or vis/vis?

I already told you, it doesn't matter for me, because I'm a beautifull woman with hair down to my little waist and large breasts. Therefore the world lets me get away with anything.

Gotta Love Two Strokes
Being the Good ol' Montana farm boy that I am, I of course have another car, two other trucks and five motorcycles I can drive while I am waiting for my RX-8 ECU to get back to me.
The Cobb thing sounds like the ticket to me ifn' they can make it work.
My Dealership thinks the Mod's I do to my car are cool and they work around them with no problems at all, I am afraid of it getting re-flashed by them though, so having the tool to do the flash myself would be best, or the software load so I could have the dealer flash it for me with the WDS. Because although you have the service manager put it on the ticket, do not re-flash, envarably sooner or later it will happen.
I looked into buying the WDS myself, but I was quoted 6k for it, so I passed on that.

South! you haven't seen south till you've gone below the belt and beyond the international timeline. That's south.
The whirlpools turn backwards!!!!!
It's tomorrow there!!!
And they call it "OZ" (I always wondered if that had anything to do with the wizard.)

Have you tried looking into possible making your own SAE J2534 pass through device or sourcing one from someone like drewtech where it would include a CAN/OBD2 diagnostic program and the ability to reflash the ECU. Harrison tech already supports it. http://www.obdscan.net/canscan_new.htm

I would send my ECU with no problems.
It'll take some time for me to get the kit installed anyway, so why not have RP take care of the ECU while I work on the blower? ...Just makes sence, plus if it chops off a $1000 of the bill... It is a good deal the way I see it.
Go RP!!!

yes harrison has supposedly supported that for some time. but it does not allow you to flash custom maps to the PCM. it allows you to use mazda's software available at www.mazdatechinfo.com which only allows you to update your pcm with new mazda flashes. there are otehr threads- including one active just the past couple of weeks- discussing this. but what is listed on the page linked is the diagnostic software for checking cels etc not teh flashing ability which is "future product" and price TBD

We all ready know that the boost profile of the blower is relatively linear at 1psi per 1K rpm due to internal compression/ stages of the AFSC.
RP can/would you be willing to tell us what the CFM VS ENGINE RPM profile is going to be with the new design.

Now as far as putting your own code into the flash.. that's a whole diffrent ballgame.
As far as the voltage, some car's don't need voltage but all CAN cars do as they use the 12v as signaling, so you need a 18-20 V spike to move it to programming mode and then you have to send the right commands to flash.

i jnow that. ive been on this path since 2004 and have read all of the law and various sites about j2534and have gotten a subscription etc etc. what i mean is you cant use the mazda program that is available to flash custom maps. it doesnt work that way. you need a program that asks "which file should i write to the pcm?" and then you select the one you want. the mazda software doesnt do that it just looks in to see what your car has and if there is a newer version in its database it says "there is a newer flash available. flash now?" without allowing you to choose which file.
