I have the tuner version of Uprev, so I think a good start is to look at the tables that you are allowed to edit, and compare that with what I see in the ROMs disassembly. I can then cross-reference this with what we know about the 350 ROM structure.

Phase 2 would be to make very obvious edits to a table in Uprev (eg setting all values in one table to 3, in the next table to 4, etc). I can then flash and reconstruct the ROM again to see where these known values end up. For phase 2 I'm going to eBay an ECU to do this on the bench; I don't want to do this with my own ECU. If anyone has an extra one sitting around that they can sell for cheap (or donate!) this would would be a good cause!

I have only looked at a few ROMs, but Nissan seems to move the tables around much more than I would have thought. I'm not sure the 350 ROM definitions will be helpful to find the 370 tables.

Also factor in some CARB/EPA required changes that were mandated around 2012, which may require more program space / ROM.

I know EcuTek creates their own higher resolution tables in different locations than stock, and UpRev might do the same, so please keep this in mind with your testing.


I look forward to your update on the K-Line. Since it runs at 10,400 baud, I guess UpRev could use it and still get a fast sample rate.
