Sorry, I should've posted the link, but I thought Group44 already had MkSFX.
Actually, the link below has two "packages". The other package has some very useful batch utilities, that eliminates the need to run a DOS session.

| You can't use Mksfx to open the sound files. Its function is to convert a wav file to a sfx file. Your best bet, if you feel you can create a better sound file is to do just that, instead of trying to alter one. |

What I need to see is the sound structure, Hi, Lo, interior, exterior etc in order to see what needs doing.
From the sounds of it (HEAT) they have a very limited structure compared to GTR or even NR03. Building the sounds is relatively easy, I just need to know what and where.

the source file before converting to .sfx needs to be 22050hz mono.The eng1i.sfx is the idle sound.Eng11.sfx and eng12.sfx are the hi and low tones for the player car and eng10.sfx is for the opponents.

It can't be done. There just is no way to reverse Heat files back to an editable format. Sorry :-/

Well...actually it can 
You'll need Sound Forge 5.0 (6.0 may also work...not sure).
But you'll want to select the ".raw format",then browse for your .sfx and see if that won't open it and play it.
It's been awhile since I went through the process,but I believe that is how it worked.
If that way works,you should then be able to save the .sfx files into .wav files or any other type of formats that Sound Forge allows.

You're welcome.I don't have Sound Forge installed right now,or I would have tried to find the exact setting it uses.
Now I do know,that when converting from .wav to .sfx through mksfx to make Heat's sounds,they have to be 22,000 khz and 16 bit I believe.I forget offhand what the different options for .raw importing is though,but if you play around with it long enough,I'm sure you'll find the right one. 
Also...the sounds are probably going to be fairly short...since they basically repeat alot in Heat anyways.
But hope it helps to get you where you were headed.
