Long story short, bought my car in June, and received it in July. Got back from leave and a guy I work with, who also self tunes, tried to load the JDM IX map to my car. Went to start after rewriting the ECU, and nothing. Would turn over, but no fire. Pulled the map off the car that it came with, and it looks like a map for a car with cams. So I pulled the valve cover today to find the culprit and need to know if these are stock or aftermarket?

The whole setup:


Intake markings (6C29):


Exhaust marking (5):

 

Did your mate who self tunes copy your immobilizer code over to the new rom or disable it? The car should still start on a stock rom with cams.

And I gotta ask, what does a map for a car with cams look like. Only possible difference is advanced idle area, mivec changes in idle area, or open loop idle.

 

The first time he forgot to copy the immobilized code. The second time he copied it, it still wouldn't start. I'll see if he can get on and chime in.

 

Those are stock cams. You can tell because they have holes in the casting. Stock cams are hollow.
