I have no idea how to fix that... OFT A01D roms are B01D interally so the defs I linked should work and define that table properly. I'm no expert so that's as far as my knowledge goes with these xml and bin files to be honest. Just making sure they match each other.
You'll have to ask someone else or ensure 100% you're using the right defs and don't have OFT definition files loaded in romraider alongside Waynos, or at least not before ? Not entirely sure but I only have 1 in the definition list per CAL/ID

My CAL is: ZA1JD00C

Here are all 5 tables that were mentioned, along with the definition file I'm using.

Also to follow up on this, I checked the OFT roms and the OFT D00C is a D00C internally.
Waynos defs won't work as they're for roms that are B01C/B01D internally.
If you're still interested PM me and I'll help you out, can still get this to work for you.

Same goes for @guybo and @gypsy_seven provided you guys haven't figured it out by now lol
Feel bad leaving people out and I have helped a few others with roms that don't match the defs so I don't mind doing the same again

Had this same issue. I tried to edit the xml and got the second row added but it did not run properly.

Just edit that row and ignore the other (since you don’t have it). I played it safe and began retarding at higher rpms since we don’t have a second row for startup temperature. Just don’t let it rev that high while your engines warming up.

Thanks I'll do just that. High as in above 2k like in the chart or...high as in 5k+.

I believe I did around 3500.

I haven't. But I'll contact you Sunday and see if we can figure it out together. thank you, there's a few small things I'd like to change in my tune like LC RPM, and FFS. I appreciate the offer.

Some of you guys are living dangereously . Id suggest that unless you understand what going on with rom calid alteration, definitions and xml that you dont alter stuff you dont fully understand.

Your going to end up altering program code instead of a table in the rom and end up possibly bricking your ecu.

Please read the ROMRAIDER TIPS link below else this may end in tears

Missing or partial tables or weird valies in tables or the axis of tables is an indication that the definition and rom are mismatched or their is an error in the definition. Proceeding to edit and flash a rom using mismatched or defective definitions can brick your ecu

I just done OP's map setup. Im getting pops that arent really loud (i assume its my setup; stock headers and just a catback). It pops also on neutral when im driving, however, when its in drive (Auto car; or paddle shifters) i dont really get any pops. Im wondering, how can i make the pops more apparent when im driving and also how can i possible do it off throttle, perhaps when i down shift?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Read the last few pages of this thread. There are directions to do it off throttle.

i assume this involves changing Base idle B in gear, but i cant find it on my Romraider... Could this have to do with my auto transmission?

I've been trying to figure out how to do the most recently discussed version of this tune (where it doesn't change the base timing B map) on my 2016 brz (ZA1JF40C); however, the definition files needed in order to change the "base timing idle" do not work at all on my tune. It loads the tune after showing ~50 errors, and the base timing charts look like it would blow my engine up in a second. Can anyone help me out? I know that the definition file works on pretty much every other year, but I can not get it to work on mine. Thanks!

This sounds like the typical wrong definition file symptoms. I'd double check you have the right one loaded and if it says it's the right one, I'd download it again.
