After 6 hours of messing with wiring trying to get the proper voltage to the flash jumper (for whatever reason, lots of '02s seem to have problems seeing the proper 12V at the jumper and of course I happen to have on of the early '02s with the problem

) I've got a map on the stock ECU allowing the car to idle, and *not* throwing any CELs (so far).

All I remapped was the injector latency and the injector scaling for my PE800's using some data from Cobb, and then I turned off all the CELs associated with all the missing EVAP, EGT and O2 sensors that aren't on my car anymore. I'm dying for a standalone wideband O2 sensor... I've got one built into the Hydra, but I can't use it with the stock ECU plugged in. I may have to go pick up a Innovate LC-1 which will work with RomRaider's logger... or better yet an LM-2 which works with the software *and* has a hand-held display making it actually useful without a laptop, but costs like $400

.

Anyway, the wideband is needed 'cause the MAF tables are still bone stock for the '02 WRX, and I'm running a 2.5L block with a FPGreen blowing thru a 70mm MAF housing...

Not exactly what the original map was intended for. The car starts right up and runs, but the idle is a little rough (though it does idle better than the Hydra did in the past

). The bottom line is that it looks like I'll be able to put together a map for this thing on the stock ECU. It's going to be a PITA, 'cause this RomRaider software and OpenECU flasher stuff is so damn flaky and underdeveloped (the Hydra is pretty crappy itself, and it blows this free stuff away). But I think I'll be able to get this bitch registered and on the street for a proper break in, even if it means I'll likely miss the remainder of the trials season.
