No. This is for the 2006+ M32R based ECUs. I'm done trying to half ass this. Either I get it working on the drive by wire ECU, or I buy a different truck.
I spent most of Saturday making a bracket to properly support the 3.8L manifold and e-throttle. I just have to finish the drivers side timing cover, and then I can start reassembling it for real.

I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Stubborn. I like it. 
Oh, and buy a second truck because...you can.

My package is at the "International Place of Exchange" just outside Moscow. I don't know why this amuses me so much

Fun way to mess with your coworkers. Have a package from Russia delivered to the office.
I've got the software installed, but the M32R license isn't active. I'm waiting for a reply from the vendor.

Re: Jeff tries to make a hot rod out of a farm truck. '92 Mighty Max
I've been working on it for weeks. Right now I'm trying to find a way to disable the immobilizer. It's completely different from the older ECUs, so you can't just set the value to FFFF and move on. The immobilizer is handled by the ETACS unit. The ECU gets the key's immo code from the ETACS via the CAN bus, and then compares that to values stored in a serial EPROM. If it doesn't match, or if it doesn't get data from the ETACS at all, it'll refuse to start the engine.
I'm just glad this thing has an actual input pin for the starter cranking signal. If it had to get that info via a CAN message from somewhere else in the car, I'd be in a world of hurt.

All cars are that way now. Every computer inside the car is that way. Including the radio! Its for theft purposes.

I know. This stuff makes the electronics in a 3S look like an abacus.

I spent my lunch hour corresponding with Russians. I think I've finally got the license situation sorted out. I'll test it later tonight.

Re: Jeff tries to make a hot rod out of a farm truck. '92 Mighty Max
Well, I think it worked.
I backdated it to an older version of the ROM. It's interesting that this uses the K-line 'boot mode' method like the older ECUs use rather than the CAN method the Mitsu software uses. It still takes a few minutes though. I'll need to make sure to attach those pins to the diagnostic port when I finalize the harness for the truck.
I can still connect to the ECU with EvoScan. I did notice it doesn't rewrite the ECU software part number in EEPROM. So I need to do some more detailed checks to make sure it actually wrote what I wanted it to, but so far it looks good.

It rewrote the version number after I rebooted the ECU. It also cured a P0606 (ECU failure) code that had set some time after I got it back from Tactrix. So that's all very interesting.
I'm going to pick up a 2nd ECU just because this one has been abused so badly. It'll also be nice to have a 2nd one I can keep on the bench for R&D.
Now I need to put some real effort into cracking that immobilizer. I also need to finish up the damn engine. At least I finally feel like there's a glimmer of hope to this mess.

So do you know more about this ecu than Tactrix? Appears you fixed an issue they created.
