Hey, I've been reading through various Tactrix/OTS tune topics for a few weeks now, so I got some grasp of this topic, but still not as far as I'd like just yet.
I have a manual MY2016 EU BRZ with UEL headers and I'd like to start experimenting with engine tuning and seeing what the difference between stock and "stage 2 plus" is. European MY2016 should get F10G tune and I'd start with OFT maps. I'd be more than happy to buy Wayne's ROMs that are reasonably priced and should be much better suited for Europe, but I've started with OFT since that's all I've got right now but I'm having issues with definition files in EcuFlash.
The default ones in EcuFlash don't cover my car.
So first I tested those from TD-D's GitHub (TD-D/SubaruDefs/tree/Alpha/ECUFlash), but they don't seem to work with OFT maps. EcuFlash can load the map, but just looking at timing tables, it's a mess of random positive and negative numbers instead of fluent "gradients".
With the OFT maps, there's OFTv4_ZA1JF10G.xml definition file provided, but that's probably for OFT. I've checked the structure and an array of multiple (two, BRZ and WRX) roms rather than a single rom. and the numbers don't really match my car. Still, I've edited it to remove the WRX rom element and the parent "roms" element and copied it to EcuFlash 2015 directory. Now EcuFlash loads the OFT map just fine, the tables look smooth as they should, but I doubt this is the way to go. There are quite a few differences in comparison with the TD-D's definition file, different ecuid, memmodel, checksummodule, even the year of the car and the addresses for all tables are different. Also, there are so about 50 lines fewer, but I did not compare which.
Can you guide me in the right direction? Is editing the OFT xml files all that's needed or is there another source of definition files that I could just download and use? I can get a Tactrix, an ECU off a crashed car on ebay and go the hard way, but indeed studying first and going a sure path to success sounds better to me. OFT is not an option given the price, shipping, customs and taxes here. Thanks!
