There is very little aftermarket support for the Track/Kick ECU. Superchips in the UK list a chip for the 16V and a company in Greece ) list a chip for the 8V. There are a number of piggy back devices that can be used. A couple of people have used MS has also been used MS as a stand alone system or as a piggy back computer.
The 16V processor is not reprogrammable and it has no external programme memory. The processor is an Hitachi H8/538 clone.
I've been working on hacking the 8V ECU, the processor is a custom Mitsubishi chip (MH6211)apparently based on the 68HC11K processor, the processor architecture is not public domain. So far I have managed to disassemble the code and identify the fuel map (VE table).  I used the instruction set for the MH6111 processor that is published on one of the DSM websites, although there appears to be a couple of extra instructions in the 6211.
I'm currently working on tracing through the circuit board to produce the schematics. Once that is done then I shall be spending some time with a logic analyser attempting to determine which block of code does what and where all the important data is.

Hello Rhinoman
thanks for the reply and keep up the good work most people tend to steer away from elcetronic tuning myself i love it. was a pain in the a** when i first started did not know s**t about it and had noone to turn to for help, the way i look at it the guy that done the first tuning electronicly did not eaither. but once you get the hang of it this is the only way to tune.
Rhinoman keep me updated on your findings and i'll do the same for you on my end. i think i'll install a ms on my kick i have a few other good parts around here i can install on it to and see what happens.

thanks.
