Hi

i'm new to ecu hacking/tuning and would like to get my feet wet analyzing bin files and trying to piece together lookup tables and parameters.

How would someone who wants to do something like I do get bin files from? Do they just post on a forum requesting model? Is there a repository somewhere? Also, does looking up ECU manufacturer help? thanks

I can't believe no one replied yet, I think perhaps the rom dumps that people have on their cars are sacred to them, people make money tuning for others who often have the same setup on their engine, I've attached the ROM dump from the stock PR4 ECU , used with a b18A1 from 1990-1991 , the PR4 and most of the obd0 ECUs have an intel M80C154 microcontroller, which I'm gonna attach the datasheet for as well lol

There are hundreds of topics here.
