Open Source ROMS

Postby hbt15 » Fri Mar 02, 2012 8:25 pm

Hi all,

Just purchased an 07 B-Spec wagon. Loving it.

Used to have a Lancer and there was a big ECU flashing scene on the lancer forums and lots of good tunes came out of it. Made some good improvements on my stock car without having to go to a shop for an expensive tune.

Does such a culture exist within the Liberty community? Doesn't seem to be as prevalent as it was with the Lancers?? The same tactrix unit used on the lancers is the same as the one used on the subareas i believe so already have all the hardware required for a flash.

Cheers

No.

We aren't idiots who share tunes between cars while we add in our Altezza style tail lights together.
All cars are different. If you want to blow your car up, go run a tune from a USDM Legacy available on the romraider forums.

I have to agree ^^^^

All cars are different, you can flash in a tune straight off a different car with 'similar' mods but I doubt you would get much gain. You can have the software but if you don't understand what you are doing you have potential to go wrong pretty quickly, and I'm guessing the lancers were n/a so you have a little bit more of a buffer than fi. Even mail order tunes are less than ideal.

Your VE table, timing etc will differ depending on fuel used, mods, climate.....

First and foremost, welcome and forget some of the previous banter.

Personally, I think you have been misunderstood.

There are several of us in this forum that are "flashing", but not sharing ROM images, actually customising them through some guys with extensive tuning knowledge. I would recommend you check out the Kido Racing thread in the Commercial part of the For Sale section. And also have a good read of the RomRaider forums and OpenECU forums to get yourself conversant with the techniques applicable to the Subaru Liberty. You will also need a Tactrix Cable and notebook PC to commence logging, downloading your ROM and eventually, flashing (at your own risk).

Again, welcome and good luck with the tuning. There is a lot of potential under your bonnet as opposed to the little between the ears of some!

there's a lot of this "all cars are different" talk going on.
But ALL our cars (same model) share the exact same factory tune......

so the low-level generic tunes that only alter the DBW tables and actually remove timing to make the tune safer (for our 3.0RB's that ping their t!ts off on the stock tune) are fine to share around (if it's your own work and not someone elses).

Pulling timing? No need, they make bigger gains with a smoothed timing table and actually will take more timing! Erratic timing is worse than too much, stock MY11 STi will knock 6 degrees on stock tune as timing is lumpier than month old custard. Tuned STi you can add 7 degrees timing!
