New Subaru ECU reverse engineering project

[oldhat]

Hi everyone, my name is oldhat and some friends and I decided to start an ECU reverse engineering project on RS25.com, in a similar vein to b3lha's SVX ECU project. b3lha's been great, he's dropped by to offer us a few pointers and clues. This will be totally open source and free to everyone.

Our project is less than 72 hours old and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. There just aren't many tuning options for the 2.5RS ECU except for a single reflash on the market, plus the swapped guys are losing support for their turbo EJ20Gs and EJ20Ks, since they're getting older. Apexi recently discontinued the PowerFC for those JDM motors (plus Apexi is in bankruptcy now, along with Greddy -- sad times). So we have to get our hands dirty.

This is our project homepage, which is brand new and has little meat on its bones. Please register if you feel like it if you have any files or insight to offer, or just feel like watching the mess firsthand:

Please pop your head in if you have experience programming or deconstructing these chips. We'd love to get everyone's input. One of our goals is to comprehensively crack every Subaru ECU open 100%. So if you have any old ECUs lying around from your SVX or Classic, please let us know. If you can take pictures of the chips and circuit boards, that would be even better!

Cheers,
