Has anyone had experience reprograming the PCM when doing an engine swap?

yeah so far the rx8 ecu isnt cracked enough, it is worth doing though. that ecu is fast, and does a ton of stuff, and it is programable, the factory can do it

According to a shop I was in a week or so ago they cracked it, finally.



They hired a Magnetti Marelli and Motec programmer to finally tap into it and flash it to their specs.



I cannot verify this is true but they seemed pretty stoked to have finally broke the code.
