We just got off the phone with Greddy, and they told us that they had a large early batch of these kits that went out with bad software. Apparently the units that went to Mazda Trix & I got mine at www.city-speed.com. If you are sensing a momentary bog before boost hits, or if you feel some detonation at around 4000 rpm (we did on the dyno, but not on the street when we drove it) you probably have faulty software. You may want to give them a call. You will be required to pull the units, send it to Greddy, and have them re-flash the E manage units. Or be ready to get a new engine.

So i am now currently waiting for my kit from turbo options in calli and it is the 2nd btach so that means im clear of the problems .... please let me know some good news i been reading about this problem and i sweat everytime i read it ... please let me know thanks ... Shane
open the box and take out the board.
there are seven "jumpers" or connectors. they should sequence as follows:
jumpers 1 and 2 should connect sites #1 and #2
jumper 3 should connect sites # 2 and #3
jumper 4 should have only one pin connected ("open")
numbers 5, 6, 7 should all connect sites #1 and #2
benny is who i talked to at GReddy and he was helpful. mine is still being shipped from rotary extreme and he said there were only three that were wrong and he was 99.9% sure they all went to Mazda Trix. I told him i want to be 100% sure since it is my precious rotary engine...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!
pm me if you need the phone #
Well, I got mine at City Speed so there is another place. When my mechanic & I talked tot hem they said a "big" batch of them got out.

but i wonder if the second batch is fine ...seems that is the only problem so far with the kit ....that the E manage has a couple bugs .... hope mine will be fine Crossing Fingers
here is what to look for:

So if all the jumpers are in the right place then our emanage "should" be good?
They told me mine was a software issue. i have to pull the unit & send it back. Has nothing to do with the jumpers (my luck - all bad), otherwise I would have loved to have done that.

Well I haven't driven my car much in the last week because of this and work. I guess i have to make the time to contact Greddy and see If i am one of the lucky ones ..........bad lucky that is
This is interesting. I'll have to look at my setup (which I programmed, not Greddy) and see where I put the jumpers.
I'm in Dallas at the moment, so I can't comment until the weekend.
jumpers 1 and 2 should connect sites #1 and #2
jumper 3 should connect sites # 2 and #3
jumper 4 should have only one pin connected ("open")
numbers 5, 6, 7 should all connect sites #1 and #2
Very interesting, why would Greddy enable VTec mode?
Then again, the only jumpers that are significant are JP1,2,5,6
JP4 airflow/VTEC input select
1-2 VTEC
2-3 2nd airflow meter
JP7 VTEC
1-2 Non-VTEC
Jumper off - VTEC
This must be their default setting and these jumpers (3,4,7) would not affect the non-vtec application anyway and the RX8 has no 2nd Airflow meter. Though, I would set these jumper JP3,4,7 to 1-2 to enable the 2nd airflow input and wire it to the WO2 metter for A/F logging and connect the Greddy MAP Sensor to enable tunning via boost sensor instead of the stock MAF. hint hint
949-588-8300. Hell, they are down the street from you in Irvine. Are you having the same issues ?

found em, my jp 1 is (1/2), jp 2 is (1/2), Jp 3 is (2/3), Jp 4 is (Open), Jp 5 is (Open), Jp 6 is (Open) and Jp 7 is (1/2). Hmmm looks like mine is not following the above rules. Any idea if all greddy is going to do is go in there and connect 5 6 and 7? If so i'll jsut do it an save myself the headache. I think we shoudl demand a free set of software and cable to tune this thing if they can't do it themselves.
any idea what the rotary switches do on the side? Originally i thought i was looking for those, no need to remove the sticker to see them, just remove the panel the sticker is stuck on....doh.
