Details:

DATE: Sept 13, 8:30am to 6:00pm (we will get everyone in, even if it goes past 6pm but we want to start at 8:30am SHARP).

PLACE: Splitfire Performance, Brampton, 220 Rutherford Rd South. Has room for lot's of space for many cars to hang out and quiet streets for runs

DYNO: In ground. Very new model with the latest software (224 Dyno Jet)

TUNER: MazdaManiac (http://www.mazdamaniac.com/cobb/accessport.htm) (Jeff) is flying in for the event. For those that do not know, Jeff is the leading "custom map maker" for Cobb AccessPort. (http://www.mazdamaniac.com/apinstall.htm) When he does a tuning session, your car goes on the dyno for 2or 3 runs while he dials it in with a custom map for your car. If you bought the Cobb AccessPort from him, you do not have to pay for his time to tune. If you did not purchase the Cobb from him and you want a tune, there will be an additional cost (work that out with Jeff directly).

TOTAL COSTS: The cost for the facility is $1000 and Jeff's travel costs will be about $1000. Jeff's travel costs will be firmed up as soon as the GI guys re-affirm their interest in the event. Jeff's costs will be divided equally between all of those getting a tune from him. Facility costs will be divided by all those getting a dyno that day. Only other thing is food and drinks. I would suggest we create a community pot for this.

GOALS: (1) Get 10 signed up for Dyno + Tune (2) Get 4 signed up for Dyno only

PROJECTED COSTS PER PERSON: If we hit our goals and Jeff's travel costs come in at $1000, costs per person break out as follows:

Dyno + tiune: $172
Dyno only: $72

____________

Tune me! In.

^ Have a preferred time?

put me down for 11:15 Dyno and tune

Tune me! In.

Put you in at 12:30. I can easily change that if you want.

I'll start it off, put me in for the 8:30 dyno+tune time slot please.

scott, sign me up for the 12 - 1230 dyno only spot......I hope I still have my car by then......we'll see but sign me up anyways, if I have a new car i will be there regardless. thanks.

I'd just like to add a comment about the AccessPort for those contemplating this or for those on the fence.

My experience with this can be characterized in general as very good.
Perhaps a bit more responsive to the throttle, particularly in the lower rpm range.
General improvement to fuel mileage, I would have bought it for this alone had I felt it was going to be this good. Who wouldn't like that with fuel prices where they are now or where they are going.

Generally I get around an extra 50-80 km per tankful. When I first got the car in 04, during the breaking period (under 4K rpm driving) I felt good if I could hit 400km to the low fuel light. After that is slowly worked it's way down to a maximum of 350km before the light....driving a bit more normally.
Since getting the AP, 400km's to the low fuel light is typical, this adds up to a free tankful every 5-6 weeks, I've seen as much as 460km to the low fuel light which would get me well over the 500km per tankful easily. I look forward to seeing what I can reach on a long distance all highway trip.

All that being said I've been trying to get to any one of the MazdaManiac's dyno tune meets since receiving mine, none have been this close, The nearest was the Chicago one but that would have cost about $1k to do, between Dyno, hotels, food and fuel costs on top of an 7+ hour drive each way, but I still debated about it.

All that said I look forward to seeing what a Dyno tune by MM will give me in addition to what I seen already on the off the shelf tunes.
Don't let the opportunity go by, who knows how long you will have to wait again for this of happen so close to home.

This is the first Canadian MM Dyno tune, lets make it one to remember.

^ Well said RotorWheee.

Just to add to your comment, another local member (WCS) made it out to the Chicago meet and had this to say in response to my question about whether the Cobb tune made a real difference...

"oh yeah... responsive and power all the way through the range... I would even hazard to say that I can feel more low end power..... but above 4.5k rpm it's quite noticable"

My own experience with the Cobb has been a very positive one. I find that everything is a lot smoother. And now that I have added a mid-pipe, I'm looking to push it even further with a more aggressive tune. Can't wait :)

I believe that RW is correct when he says that this is the first Canadian Dyno day. Let's show those Americans that we know how to do it right!!!

Does anybody have any suggestions for things that you might want as an overlay to the day? For example...

> I could probably arrange to get a sprint booster from JRP for you guys to try. It's a simple 2 minute plug-in.

> Interior LED lights group buy/install

> Clear corners group buy/ install

Ideas???

I'm in for the Dyno run.

Looking good, already have up to 2pm filled up:)

You guys have me seriously thinking about getting a Cobb now. I hate you guys. :)

Sweet! I cant wait to see the Dyno charts :) what kind of gains are we looking at with just the Cobb AccessPort on a N/A 8?

You guys have me seriously thinking about getting a Cobb now. I hate you guys. :)

LY + Cobb = LF!

Sweet! I cant wait to see the Dyno charts :) what kind of gains are we looking at with just the Cobb AccessPort on a N/A 8?

From what I have read, you should get at least +10HP gain but this could be bumped further with a custom map. Here are a couple of quotes from the Cobb thread that I found interesting...

"Easy E beat me to the punch regarding the accessport. I am in the process of pulling some video of the operation of the AP to post up since I've seen nothing with the AP in action on the dyno.

MazdaManiac has my dyno results and I've left it up to him to post the results because he was the one supporting the dyno time and tuning. I will say that we performed a baseline tune and then used one of Mazdamaniac's generated maps that worked with my trims.

We ran an initial run with the stock programming, but the final OEM flash run we did as a baseline was more accurate to the car's true power.

Baseline run yielded approx 183 WHP. A pre-made tune yielded approx 194 to 195 WHP. This was at about 75 to 80 degrees F.

There's clearly room to go because there's additional specialized tuning that could be done on the car to yield more power. Still, for a pre-generated tune I was impressed. Mods on my car are the K&N Type 2, Cat back and test pipe, AP pulley, lightweight alternator and water pump pulleys.

This is certainly a device that NA people should look into. The ability to have your OMP kicked up a notch, adjust fan settings, kill CEL's and also the tuning is well worth the money. Ditch your CAT and you'll open up some opportunities for power."


"We dyno'ed three cars yesterday. Flashwing's, mine and MM's. I don't have any of the charts. MM will have to post those. But from what I saw with the Cobb AP is an infinite ability to tune your car. MM said he has over 500 maps already. And I can picture having 10 to 20 per car or more.

The main thing is every car is different. Be it the car, the mods, the weather the altitude. What Cobb has done is provided a way to tune your car perfectly for your conditions. You can adjust AFR's every 100 RPM's if you want. Same with engine timing. Watching that on the dyno graphs yesterday made me a believer in what a fantastic unit the AP really is."

Have you made arrangements Jeff? Are you heading back Sunday? Have you picked a place to stay?

Hopefully we'll all have time to harass you throughout the day about your upcoming projects (turbo kit) as well as pick your brain on various topics (ape living conditions in the Congo.)

Will you be around for dinner afterwards? We can all hit a restaurant. I don't think there's anything particularly awesome in Brampton but we can cruise to Dave & Busters or something.

Wats a sprint booster?

LED and Clear corner GB will be great yeah!

You can learn a bit out SprintBooster here (http://www.minimania.com/web/AddedFrom/Downloads/Item/SPR1034/InvDetail.cfm).

I "trialed" it for about 3 weeks, using it off an on to note differences. In the end, I decided to return it (30 day trial period from JRP). Despite my decision to return it, I think that some people will love its impact. It gives the sense that your car is faster and more responsive. I liked that part of it a lot. However, I found that there was tad too much of a negative impact on drive-ability on a day in and day out basis.

Removing the hyperbole from the equation, all it essentially does is alter the number of volts that are sent to the ECU as you press the gas down. Our cars provide to the ECU anywhere from 1 to 5 volts as I understand it. It's a gradual increase, directly related to how much you step on the pedal. The SB, alters this rate, so that you start at a higher voltage and move up the ramp faster.

It would be fun to see how different people react to it in their cars. I could probably convince JRP to loan us one or two for the day if you guys are interested.

In terms of the group by stuff, kinda hoping that Jay will step up on that given that he has already looked into it. Jay?

Great ideas Eric, especially the conversation about the Ape living :) I know that Jeff hasn't firmed up plans yet, he has only set the time aside. We wanted to get enough guys signed up before he makes reservations, etc..

LED group buy, I'm definitely down for that. I actually want to buy some LEDs from www.vleds.com

^ Andrew, do you want to work with jay on that one and see what you guys can pull together for meet?

Put me down for dyno and tune ... I'll be bringing my MM AP too

5:15-6:00 sounds good... gives me plenty of time to make it up there from Philly.

Let's go see some peelers!

If Jeff like some some "dancing" hm....lets see....1extra hp for 1 free dance?

Awesome!

FYI, leaving up north today for a week with no web access. Will check the status of the thread when I get back next weekend to add people to the list as required.

I just received the EFI Dude data logger, the perfect compliment to the Cobb. It's really cool they way it tracks everything and is really easy to use.

Deleted my stupid comment.

I'll book my stuff this week if we can get the date filled.

fill day, fill! my wife and I are building a nice long weekend trip around this event!!!

I've been using the efidude logger too. It's really easy to operate.

I look forward to meeting you, Shell.
Everyone else as well!

I haven't been to Toronto in quite a while.

I did it. I just ordered my Cobb from MM 5 minutes ago. Sign me up for dyno + tune! :D

YAY!!

more people BUY BUY!

better get rid of that K&N before you tune..haha

Order received!
Good timing, too. I have a shipment coming in on Wednesday.

Jeff, will tuning, before I upgrade my Coils/plugs ruin the tune you do for me yeild the wrong tune after I get my upgraded coils and plugs?

I don't think I will be getting the coils/plug before you tune my car..

But I have gotten the 3.5" Mazsport CAI though, as I know the AP cannot tune without it.

The tune wont change, but you will need a new version of it once you get the coils if you get the MazSport system.
It has a funky dwell timing that has to be compensated or you will have misfires at higher RPM.
It usually isn't a big deal.
If you are getting the BHR system, no adjustments are needed at all.

great to know...

I was planning getting the BHR system anways.....

Thanks

also....would I be able to flash my AP on to the car with the "STOCK" map to monitor my AFR now, because I still have my Blue plugged in..

and my AP does NOT have your FI maps, only NA maps..

So either I am thinking flashing it with the "stock like map" from AP, and still let the piggy back do its work.
so atleast i can still monitor my AFR

Would that even work properly?

OR. I will uninstall my Blue, and you email me some FI maps.

MM I think its just worth it going to hear how you get the amazing pictures you have in your avatar:)

Up north and managed to find a place with a net connection but slower than hell <lol>

Thief: congrats, you've been added!

Only one Tune+Dyno left! Don't miss out, get the last spot!!!!

Was speaking to MM about locking things down for the 13th meaning that he will book flight and accommodation, etc. I wanted his council on best approach given his experience. Here's what I suggest as a protection for all of us involved:

1. Fill one remaining "Tune + Dyno" position

2. Get a small deposit from everyone ($40). I wasn't going to ask for this because I am a trusting type. However, if someone does back out last minute, costs go up for everyone and I would feel really crappy about that as the organizer. If we have a waiting list and can fill the spot, a person's refund will be returned to them. Please send deposit to me via paypal: sendtoscottrogers@msn.com. Of note: "sendto" is in fact part of my email address. Please make sure that you include your member name in the paypal note to me.

Thanks very much guys and I look forward to locking everything down asap.

Jeff will you bringing an AP with you for sale? if so i may just buy it from you at the meet and you can tune my car at the same time.

Let me know.

PM a price
THanks
Kris

OR. I will uninstall my Blue, and you email me some FI maps.

That is the best way to go.

Jeff will you bringing an AP with you for sale?

I'm not transporting any AccessPORTs with me - I don't want to deal with customs.
They are available the usual way through my WEB site.

Ya bringing some TURBOs with ya??!!?!


S

Turbo go out ahead of me on their own!
Lol.
Sorry about the further delay. Personal stuff that I wouldn't bore you with.
That said, I guess you have even more free stuff heading your way!

Okay,

hrmmm i will see what i can do to order one in the next few days.

Thanks
Kris

I signed up on the guaging interest thread, the whole being busted by the pigs had me unsure. Talk with faded, has swayed me back. Sign me up for the last spot for dyno and tune.

put ur cat back on and drive in a straightline with other rx8 u will be fine :lol:

lol, going back up north tonight also, will be back on thursday afternoon

On the list Jay!

As noted by the update on the first posting, all dyno + tune spots have been taken but I have created a waiting list for those that did not make it. We could also potentially fit one more in if there is no interest in the 2 remaining dyno spots.

As noted in the updated main posting and on my last positing, please send me a $40 deposit so that we can firm up Jeff;s travel plans. Thanks!

deposit sent woohoo!

^ Thanks shelldude and qtwre for your $40 desposit

Thanks for the deposit Rotowheee. For those that haven't yet forwarded the deposit, please submit as soon as you can. If you don't want to submit via paypal, PM me and I will give you my home address, so you can send a cheque there. Thx

Thanks for the deposit Turbo8!

Scott,

Coming in from Pearson airport (YYZ) I assume? Do you need a lift?

Yep, YYZ. Just like the RUSH song!
I have a car. Thanks for the offer, though!

MM: Are you bringing the girls in your Avatar too? :P

I'll have to find local girls on Friday night.
Someone point me in the direction of the bars near a local college campus...

Thanks Thief for your $40 deposit !

MM: glad things are firmed up on your end.

Looks like it will be a great day.

Hi Rx8thunder I just sent you the $40 deposit for a dyno spot at 2:00pm if possible, thanks...

he has a car....wow..

i hope its a monster...lol...

Maybe we will get some dyno graphs this time.

Are any of the tuning customers NOT AccessPORT?

I don't think so AFAIK.

Jeff...will you be able to install the OMP adapter for me as well?

Jeff...will you be able to install the OMP adapter for me as well?

No. I will just barely get all the cars tuned if the shop is on their toes.

I don't do installs, anyway. That's CRH's specialty.

Knowone has mentioned it, so it should just be AccessPort.

Your loss...

I've been invited to a work 3 day outting at a resort which finishes Saturday. I am at a crossroads. Do I lounge around and drink free booze or do I stand over Jeff's shoulder all day watching him work?

Harder decision than you may think.

So, do two days of drinking and one day of, well, I suppose more drinking at a different location...

Eric, if youre not going to make it, let me know i will take your spot and send yah back the 40 you prepaid already.

Plus jeff will sell one more AP :)

Let me know
thanks

Oh I'll be making it...

Jeff, atleast the model in that video was hot. I won't comment on the song itself except to re-afirm my embarrassment about growing up in the 80s.

Although we did have Rush, Maiden, and Metallica to make up for it.

Dude
All drinking is covered
I don't care where we are........

BEERS ON SCOTT!!!!! Thanks man! :D

I prefer my beer cloudy with a slice of lemon, please.
I don't care if its girly - its damn good.

Scott, thanks for adding me on the waiting list. However if i dont have a confirmed Dyno / Tune time setup I wont purchase the AP. I would love for Jeff to tune my car though as i do plan on going FI in September.

Kris, I spoke to Jeff about replacing one of the "dyno only" spots for a "dyno + tune" spot because of your note and he said that it would be fine. So do you want the one remaining spot at 4pm?

I'm still coming down to buy beers however.

Scott if this is okay with you, sign me up for WCS' spot.

WCS - I can either send you the paypal payment back for the 40 or give you the cash when you come down. either was is cool with me.

Let me know fellas.

How about we move Scott to the afternoon spot >> Ok with you Scott? See first post, I've edited. Let me know. Thx

^^^ all good with me Scott
Kris, I'm still on the list..... soooo I'm guessing this doesn't forfeit my 40 dollars <shrug>

But whatever, if it does then you can pay me meet up at the dyno or you will still need to pay Scott.....

I'm good with whatever.

Time just changes for you Scott.

Kris needs to submit $40 deposit to me. Thx

Alrib: received your payment in the mail. Thx!

Only 2 to go!

I prefer my beer cloudy with a slice of lemon, please.
I don't care if its girly - its damn good.

dude... cloudy with a slice of orange... Richard's White... screw the ho's-garden :)

Orange is good, too.
Franziskaner, Blue Moon (tap, not bottle) or Weihenstephaner with any citrus is just fine.

Hrmmm... haven't tried any of those.. .will have to see if they have em at the Bier Market

Shxt I got rick rolled!

Scott, sorry for the late reply.

I wanted to confirm with my boss today when our annual sales meeting was this year. Unfortunately he has confirmed it will be from the 8th of September to the 15th. I will be heading to our head office in Marseille.

I will not be able to attend. I apologize for the inconvenience, i jumped the gun to get a spot, not thinking about work.

Kris

No problem Kris

DAMMIT!

My girlfriends sister's wedding is that day. I don't think I can miss that one.

Bump: Only one spot left! Get it before it's gone... see first post in thread for details

Well it's disappointing that the BHR ignition coils won't be ready for this tuning session. I would have liked to have a fully functioning car ready for the tune.

*Might* be able to hook you up there. Stay tuned.

o.O dude... make that two if ya can!

Comes down to the metals shop.

I won't get my hopes up too much. We're staying about 1.5 hours away in Niagra Falls. I got a decent deal from hotwire at the Sheraton Falls View. I plan on leaving the wife there (she's gonna do the spa thing) when I make the trek up for the tune/dyno.

I may have to leave the hotel earlier than I had planned if it means I get to install new coils.

Installing the coils takes about 15 minutes.

Well I sure as hell won't tell the wife that! besides I read someone's bringing beer :beerchug:

Mac81 is now getting a dyno + tune (previously just a dyno), so all we have left is one dyno spot.

I'll second that ...would be good if available. I was hoping this was going to be the case a couple of months back.

Well it's disappointing that the BHR ignition coils won't be ready for this tuning session. I would have liked to have a fully functioning car ready for the tune.

Well, looks like you will have two more dyno/tune days open up. I sent a pm regarding the issues that came up with me and Thief.

Sorry guys, somethings things just prop up in life.

First page updated. 2 dyno + tune spots now available and 1 dyno only spot. PM me if you're interested.

So MM coil or no coils ready?

I am interested in it as well...so just by having better ignition will gives you more hp? it cost almost as much as the AP....

Can someone give me an intro on this please? Thanks...

http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=145128

He's not bringing them to sell. He's maybe possibly trying to help out those of us with pooched coils who are on the preorder list. Maybe.

Bump...

Big day coming up and a couple of slots open!

Three days and counting.
Looking forward to this, and getting a MM custom tune

Jeff should take a look at this site so he's prepared for the right whether.http://www.accuweather.com/canada-weather-forecast.asp?postalcode=M3H%206A7 From what I've seen Arizona has a higher overnight temperature than we are hitting as a high.

I'm gonna be in Sauga in the evening most likely, Neo should be in town also, why don't we do dinner at Falites?

Let me know Scott, so we can make reservations.

I'm stoked!
Nitrous bottle is filled
Cooler is filled
GAME ON!
I can't wait the last time I was at Splitfire my car was bone stock!
Car dyno'd 171hp then.
If I don't get at least 190hp without the juice I'll be really pissed.

^ Is that close to dyno location Jay?

See ya'll in two days. I probably won't be there till around 5 and will need to make like a prom dress around 8.. will have the wife shacked up at fallsview sheraton in Niagra.

Does anyone have a decent digital camera to take some photos?

I'll probably have my Olympus DLSR with me

So based upon:
-> 9 dyno + tiune and 2 dyno only participants
-> Facility cost of $1000
-> Jeff travel cost of $1000
-> $40 deposit thrown into kitty for cancellation (to be used for food and pop/juice/water).

Costs for Dyno + Tune:
$202 - $40 deposit = $162 (please bring cash -- exact change)

Costs for Dyno only:
$91 - $40 deposit = $51 (please bring cash -- exact change)

Going to be a great day!

What time you folks going? 9? I am gonna show up at 10am probably..

Day starts at 8:30am. See everyone soon...

When you guys are done, can you guys all post your dyno slips? I am very interested to see what you guys are all pulling with the amount of mods you've all done to your cars.

I'm making 180hp 132tq right now.

I'm making 180hp 132tq right now.

Im making 171 and 148tq right now. I had my car Dynoed at Dragonwerks in Pickering.

Why don't you just come out and dyno your car bi0tch, hang out and c wot everyone else gets. ;)

BTW I'm leaving in about 30 minutes, will be there by 10am with food and drinks.

No point.. I only have CAI and MS Exhaust.

^^^ wot if I said pretty please

You can dyno with those...leaving soon...so excited ...

Gonnna meet MM and his avatars IRL hahaha

^^^ wot if I said pretty please

maybe if you also took back your BIOTCH comment? I am insulted :lol:

^^^uncle uncle

all right I take it back....



puffter

lol

Alex wins the day at 252hp and 198 lb torque.
I came in second with 230hp, no torque reading as we were having issues with the rpm pickup at that time.
Third was ThunderRX8 (Scott) at 204hp NA!!!!! What more can you say about the Cobb and MazdaManiac's skillz.

wish I could have been there.....my daughter was in hospital the last few days and was just discharged this evening....hope everyone had a good time. nice numbers

It was a great day... and long. Finished up about 10pm. Most of the guys stayed all day... very cool.

It was great to finally meet Jeff and he did a great job. Thanks to everyone for coming out, it was nice seeing so many new and familiar faces. Sorry you couldn't make it gecko, I hope your daughter is ok.

Special thanks to ShellDude who came to the event all the way from Philly! And get this, he has 5 kids and managed to talk his wife into him buying an 8 -- what a salesman!

Big thanks to the guys at Spitfire for staying so late. For those that don't know Spitfire, they are hard core enthusiasts making many of their own parts for turbo kits, etc... Great guys to work with on mods.

There was quite a range in numbers between all of the cars. Unfortunately for many of us, our cars were not able to measure torque, just HP. As far as HP goes, I believe the range was 138 to 204 for NA and as Scott highlighted above, 230 for Nitrous and 252 for Turbo. We had one automatic in the mix, recording the lowest amount of HP.

It was interesting with BrianGT's result that the Cobb increased his HP from 191 to 193 but grew his torque by about 7 pounds! In my case, Cobb added 13hp, FROM 191 TO 204! Over the next few days, hopefully everyone can post their results.

Splitfire Performance not Spitfire performance...its the WW2 fighter you're talking about ... that fighter got a Rolls-Royce Merlin 45 supercharged V12 engine with 1,470 hp at 9,250 ft (1,096 kW at 2,820 m)...

Thanks rx8thunder who organize this, and wcs to get us sandwiches, water, beer, and nitrous for laughing purposes...

And yeah, Jeff is the man. Everyone who came are winners too.

I miss those Avatars girl Jeff brought...oh man...they were so hot! :P

Can someone clear this up cause I forgot?
The 06 Auto has 6speed auto and 6 port while the 04,05 auto's had 4speed auto and 4port? or did all auto's only had 4 port?

The one that made 138 HP at the wheel (very disturbing...), what year is that?

Jeff said that the automatic's he tests, generally fall into the 130 to 170 range, so ShellDude's auto came in on the lower side of that, at 138. I believe his car is an 04 or 05 but am not sure.

Darn Scott, sorry I missed your NA of 204
Meant to put it in, I'll chalk it up to being tired.

On another note I spoke with the wife today, she just shrugged her shoulders and said oh boy.

YESSSSS

^ Awesome dude! And as Kafka rightfully pointed out, thanks very much for supplying food and drinks!

04 =4port=4speed

06+ had 6 ports. 6speed

That is quite low, as mentioned im at 170ish with mine but i have a 06 6 speed.

Wish I could have been there, but im stuck in a stupid hotel room. Ahh welll.....

My friend Craig said he seen you guys there he has the 240sx.. I know paul from splitfire for years, i may go in and see what kinda numbers im doing now with the exhaust and test pipe.

Im surprised that turbo8 didnt make more power, are you running low boost or a conservative tune?

mine stop making power at around 6800ish i believe...

from what jeff said, it should keep climbing right up until beep..

but i have original coils and plugs....lol

You can't compare a 4AT to a 6AT. The 6AT has the extra injectors and is in essense the exact same engine "high power" as the 6MT.

Had a great time guys. Thanks again for having me... just rolled into the homestead.

You plan on doing the ignition solution and get bigger injectors?

Yea I m going to get bhr,s upgrade no need for bigger injectors

nice pics!! What was happening with Turboeight's car? Getting into all the wiring?

He was still running the emanage blue, we just had to disconnect it before installing the AP. I didn't actually cut any of the wires with my knife, just had to pry the cover tabs back a little to remove it.

My result was 193 HP & 137 ft/lbs, my setup is RB intake with duct, stock cat and MS dual exhaust. I was happy with those results, Jeff felt I could get about 10 HP more if I took off the cat.

I don't have the plot right now, Jeff is going to change it to a pdf and e-mail it to me soon. I'll post up what I get.

Brian

cool!! So is everyone happy with the out come after their tunes? Was it worth it?

Well I wish my car have more hp stock...but I am happy with the smoothness.

I do need more time to observe the overall driviabilty...one thing for sure, more grunt to use at 6th gear around 90km/h (2-3k rpm)...less need to downshift on highway

So all in all fellas, is the Cobb unit woth it? Give us an un-biased opinion of the unit. Especially those who are NA. for FI i know the benefits, but for NA applications is is worth it?

Drivability is better for me, I do need more time to calculate on the gas mileage...

But this is not for super hp...sincee NA cant gives u mcuh anyways.

I hope ppl post this will be interesting to see!

my gas mileage/km right now I'm at 363km and still 1/4 tank to go. See how fast she drops the last 1/4. Just running the MS CAI.

Quite happy with the results, No previously undiscovered issues. One thing I notice the last couple of days is the car starts up with no effort at all. It was never a problem before but now it's just a quick flip and it's going. I'll have to make a note to check the oil more often as that is something that was bumped up. Very enjoyable day good to put faces to user names, although I forget names almost as fast as I hear them until I use them a few times, name tags would be an idea for the next one:)

So all in all fellas, is the Cobb unit woth it? Give us an un-biased opinion of the unit. Especially those who are NA. for FI i know the benefits, but for NA applications is is worth it?

Just for the added fuel economy it's worth it, I've max out on a drive to Wiarton and back driving at around 80-110 kph...600km on one tank of gas, Low fuel light came on at 510kms. Don't know if it will ever happen again but I also never expected it to happen once. On top of that there's the smoothness, better feel to the acceleration, extended engine life........... What more do you need?

So all in all fellas, is the Cobb unit woth it? Give us an un-biased opinion of the unit. Especially those who are NA. for FI i know the benefits, but for NA applications is is worth it?

For me personally, a great investment:
> 13 more HP
> Smoother acceleration

I am waiting for better fuel milage albeit I dont ahve the baseline dyno lol its richer form 4-5k doh...and less power from 5 to 6k from the graph. I AM confused

PLease ask Jeff to send us the files thunder!

You'd think for a highdollar camera I'd get a less blury picture... I guess I was too in awe over the "the man" sitting in my car ... har har :)

Dyno and fuel data on the way too.

This is better shot :P

We I have to say I was shocked at what this "tuning device" cost and the results it provided. The results I saw it gained 4 RWHP for a cost of $800.00! Thats $200.00 per horsepower. I think the big HP gains on the Renesis engine will be in exhaust port work. I dont know who does this as of yet, but patience will probably save lots of money and result in major horespower gains. Just an opinion as usual!

I know I know but hey .... its the potential of the custom tuning that attracts me. Accessport works most when you get off the cat...as evidence by rx8thunder 13rwhp gain...but I am not sure about what contribute the most.

And I can monitor my R/L mileage, doing test runs, and have a smoother curve on acceleration,....ok, maybe I am still in denial :P

I will be tracking my mileage for the next 10 run religiously though.

Kinda what I was thinking/hesitating about buying this product. When the hell is porting out our engines gonna be anyway? I haven't even seen anything about porting out our throttle bodies even to start! :(

Hi guys, today I realized that I left my engine cover in Splitfire, so I was wondering if any of you guys took it. Thanks guys

Mac

Contact RxThunder I believe he took it with him when the last of us left. We found one at the end of the day but didn't know who's it was.

Alright, thanks a lot. I´ll contact him...

Sent you a PM. I have it :)

DID ANYONE CONTACT Jeff yet.

I want to know since my A/F is kinda rich at 4-5k...and I remember he said he will coordinate with Scott??

Anyways...thanks...I shift at 4.5k nowadays and only got 20km worse mileage...dunno if its 'cause of the tune ... I will try my 3.7k shift again and see how it goes...

I sent him an email... no response as yet, he may be out of town.

I emailed him too, but no response yet...

Do it again!

holy thread resurrection batman,
Is this for real or of people forgotten to look at the threads first post like 1 1/2 years ago?

For real; Jeff bumped the thread (scroll up and look at the dates :P)

If you guys are serious, one of you should start a new thread and get it organized...

bump bump BUMP! Moar people!

Can I get better gas mileage by tuning? If so im in

Can I get better gas mileage by tuning? If so im in

Sometimes. It depends on whether or not your current tune is even close to optimal.
Some people report gains and some lose MPG.

An RX-8 should get 320 - 370 km per tank. If you are already doing better than that, enjoy what you have.

Listen ppl
We really should start a new thread for this.

I am willing to start the thread and help co-ordinate Jeff's return.
I might, maybe even do get some tuning if I get new stuff (turbo)..... assuming my car is still functioning ..... I have been plague with some ... general complaints from my ECU and from the Emissions Technician.

What is everyone willing to pay?
Last time I think we had around 14 ppl and at a cost of 200 each or something.

$200 is fine with me.

I'd volunteer to help out more but I'm in Ottawa ;) Then again if you guys want to move it over to here I know it won't be a problem on my end :P

The only "if" on my end is making sure I get my BHR pipe before the dyno day which I'm pretty sure can be worked out.

I'd be interested, pretty much anywhere, Ontario, Quebec , Hell Michigan, Windsor . I was part of the last one in Toronto but I have since received a new engine and need to start over.
