Some of those ECUs are not canbus. Some 2jz ecus dont even have OBD2 so getting data out would be hard.
So figuring out the FRS/BRZ/GT86 canbus is a good first step. But after that you need to first find what direction you want. Some like MRS-Colin have a gateway can network. But they do require to have the OEM fa20 ecu. Others like PureAutomotive have a all nice all in one solution. So for your second step you need to figure out how you plan to implement the bridge.

Definitely. I've got plenty of experience in those areas so I don't anticipate too many issues on that front. The hard part is that right now we barely have a starting point. My final objective is a device that will be flexible enough to allow a workaround for at the very least most common use cases, without needing any additional hardware beyond the device itself.
Yes I'm aware of other solutions out there, but this is different. Community-built and open source. Free code, Free hardware designs. I have nothing commercially to gain from this. If it motivates ECU vendors other than Motec to integrate something into their code, that is cool too! It's all about facilitating progress.
