Hmm. Just saw this, I don't wander in this forum very often. I had thought of doing something like this a couple years back but never followed through.

What software/hex editor are you/your developer using to decipher the bin file (screenshot looks like Bikisoft or is that only the programming interface)? I've seen some of the VQ bins from non North-American markets such as the Cefiro and I got one from a Russian guy at one point too, but IIRC they are differently addressed, with fewer tables than the US/Canadian Spec ECUs, not being OBD2, but it sounds like you've already found the addresses/ranges for the main fuel and timing tables?

If you can get an emulator setup to work on a VQ30 ECU that will be a major improvement over piggyback setups, and I suspect you could sell a good number of them. Personally I'm already working with/on something else that will give me way more functions and control than any stock ECU w/ emulator setup ever will, but I'm sure most won't want to take the route I am and would love to have this option.
