I am definitely aware of that. From all the developments I've been monitoring and the time its taking with ME, I am not planning on jumping into any Tuning Software Blind Folded. But hopefully I can be one of the 1st to share my findings with Versatuner.
I dont share much in this forum, but I read ALOT.

It took time because S2 owners here are just like we S1 owners were way back when thinking we would learn how to do it ourselves .........
Nothing wrong with that .......... but i can tell you that ME works and I have a car running on a successful tune right now .
Whether it will work for you , depends on more than whether the program works or not .......................... just sayin' .

True true.
I am definitely not naive about the possible failure it could be, BUT I am also excited about another possible tuning solution for S2 owners.
S1s have all the fun.

the tactrix open port works too if you already have one, or can get one for cheaper than the versalink.

Hello guys!
Just registered even though i dont have an RX8. But i still have some nice info to share with you all
I own a Mazda 6 MPS and i use Versatuner. So i have taken some screenshots and also uploaded a youtube clip of how you flash using this superb software.
Keep in mind that the tables shown here might be different from what you guys will have
Versatuner Startpage
Settings page
There is an online database with OTS tunes, and below that is your own tunes
Dashboard, this is where the live logging takes place
Engine Idle is one of many tables available
Open Loop Timing values in one of my tunes
Fuel target table
And finally here's a youtube clip of the actual flashing of a new tune
Right now im at around 350-360BHP (290AWHP) on stock turbo so Versatuner sure does what it's supposed to! I would recommend this to anyone!! Go for it!!
If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Hopefully I'll be getting some dyno numbers real soon. I'm currently being delayed on dynoing right now cuz I'm fitting up my Mazdatrix body kit and repainting the whole car.

Exactly the reason I bought the versalink. And the versalink is only $150 when you get the package deal.

Personally I am so excited to finally be able to tune my s2 w/o ME that I think I'll have to jump on this one. And good timing too because my nitrous kit gets here wednesday

Also, its amusing to watch you tell people the same things you were told when you were an early trailblazer with the then-new to the scene MazdaEdit system :-p

I read the graph and text then commented is all, and in the end it doesn't really matter either way which is why it makes more sense to acquiece rather than get into a debate over it. Thanks for the cheap shot in return
the difference is now you have an reason to take that particular position; you invested yourself in the MazdaEdit option and feel like it fits your need. Now you're not interested in something else new ...

Quick quick Testing with VersaTuner
I haven't had time to do a large amount of work. UI is pretty clean and easy to use. Installation on PCM was very quick and easy.
Have flashed to change Fan Temps and Timing only. Very simple to find Tables...
Will be MAF Scaling soon...
Will try to keep posting updates.

And your comment was wrong ..... which showed me you didn't read the explanation of what colour lines represented what.
Don't mention it ........have a nice day .
I was merely trying to point out that there is a lot of pain in exploring a new direction when there are already perfectly good options available . It's not something I would do unless I thought there was something to gain .

Since you seem to want to argue the point I went back and looked. The issue wasn't that I didn't read it. I just didn't catch your meaning of your wrong hemisphere choice of words anymore than if you told me your were going throw some chook on the barbie. We don't say 'normalize', we say 'clear', 'reset', or 'zero'
That said, I've never seen a factory S1 tune read that rich at that low in the rpm range.

*It's not a chook ........... it's a " shrimp on the barbie" .
* But that's only if you are an Aussie ....which i'm not . I guess my Avatar is hard to understand.
*Also normalise (and lots of other words) were always meant to be spelt with an 's' not with a 'z' (pronounced "zed" not zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ) but seeing as this is a US forum I guess I'll have to ............"do as the Romans do".
*A factory S1 tune ............you think 12.5-13 at 4000 is rich ?

I have seen versatune used with mazdaspeed vehicles. People really seem to like it.
With the LC and FFS does it cut fuel or ignition?
