Hey people long time no see.

If some of you remember i made a post sometime last year in regards to getting the racing beat revi dust+intake combo and microtec LT-10 tuned and installed in my car last year, and posted up a dyno sheet.

Anyways i have decided that i am letting go of the micro tec and going with Protuner with Hymee, tuned by Tim down at RX8-specialties, he worked with rohan from xtreme rotary.

Anyhow main reason for the swap from microtec to protuner is the ability of the protuner to fine tune my rev limiter and after consideration and consultation with Tim is that i believe remapping the standard ecu may be a better option then a piggy back.

Anyhow currently i have on order from the US
-Borla Exhaust System
-RP Supercat High Flow cat
and from Xtreme Rotaries
-Extractors

This will all be installed and tuned with protuner software by Tim.

I will update this post with the before and update dyno sheets when i get the results

The parts should arrive 1-2weeks.

My car is an auto (flame suit on)

Current mods are:
Magmaflow Exhaust (im just sick and tired of this one really)
LT-10 (I must say Simon from Promaz really did not do too well with the tune on this one)
Racing Beat Revi, Intake + Duct
AP Underdriven Pullies
Promaz Ignition Kit
Yellow Top Battery
(Suspensions which isnt important here)

In terms of oils, im currently running
-Motul 5w30
-BP Ultimate

So yea will update with Dyno, who knows i may/may not be disappointed,
but decided to take the plunge here and give some real time information for people out there, so in future (especially in aus with long delivery and all)

To have a informed decision on their purchases

Everything is now done, the car feels great, the updated dyno sheet is now on the 3rd post, 3rd pic.

Get the AP - it's a better product and you wont wipe your ECUs brain with it ....


I'm a Protuner user BTW

Can u get pics of the promaz ignition kit??

tofu_box

The Promaz tuner kit uses the Bosch Coils and X4 Coil Enhancer

Anyways just ran a few dynos today to test Microtech v Stock

Ive gotta say im bitterly disappointed.

I'll post up 2 dynos

The first one was what Simon took of before and after, said 14rwkw increase
The mods that went on at the time were:
- Microtech LT10
-Rev Beat CAI + Duct
- Agency Underdrive Pulley

I did not expect much power at all out of the CAI and Pulley so id presume that it was a prob 10rwkw increase from tune alone... so all is well and good.

Recently as i posted i wished to change the setup

Now if you look at Dyno 2.
This is a seperate Dyno with the LT10 in.

After testing with 5 attempts with the ECU on and OFF there was a total peak difference of 0.01 RWKW, yes 0.01.

The car was extremely rich and was really unpleasant to drive.

The Lamda results were interesting too, though i dont have it on me.

Does anyone have any clue on wth went on with the tune?

Anyways update of new mod list:

RP supercat was a no go, because the pipe was 399usd, and shipping to my door is 350usd =/. I simply refused to pay over 75% of cost of part in delivery

So instead i am now purchasing a SMB metallic Cat, Its being made up now and delivery in 7 days.

Well that was my rant

Now the updated Dyno Sheet is on the 3rd pic, even though we still havnt hit the 100rwkw mark (yes yes auto blah blah)

But look at that curve now, it feels great!

Tim at rx8 specialities believes we can definately get 100rwkw when we revise the tune in a few days!

tofu i dropped my car off with Tim today, saw the backside of your car...looked good...if you dont mind me asking, where did you get your body kit from/how much? is it genuine? sorry about the thread jack :P

tofu_box

Hey Giustino, its sorta a variation from Mazdaspeed, from Jetspeed. So i wouldnt call it a replica because its not sold as Mazdaspeed bumper lol. But its modelled to look slightly the same.

The 2nd dyno - are you saying they disconnected the lt10 and ran stock back to back ?

tofu_box

no that is with the LT10 put in, with their tune.

I dont have the stock tune on me, but car ran after 5 runs back to back of 0.01 decrease in rwkw.

So the tune gained a total of 0.01 rwkw over the stock ecu, without the ecu relearning the fuel trims

Brettus

Still not sure what you mean . The 1st dyno looks like it was done in a different gear than the 2nd - and the 2nd dyno looks like it it was cut off before redline because power does not drop away like in dyno 1 .
As far as the tune goes - it's the int-x . Probably went out of tune due to temperature changes - the x is known to fluctuate a lot :duno:

Some of the pics of promaz ignition kit are unavailable this time. But I will try to post pics sooner.

tofu_box

Oh, the 2nd dyno sheet is with the LT-10 in.

And the ECU is the Microtech LT-10, is it called Interceptor-X in the states?

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

Yes - the int x is a modified(for rx8) LT10 .

Throw it over your left shoulder and get the AP from MM .

tofu_box

i see, thx for the input brettus

tofu_box

The Xtreme Rotary and Borla Exhaust has gone in... It sounds amazing, almost sound stock in idle, and no drone at all, but comes out loud at WOT

On a side note, the SMB hi flow cat, DOES NOT fit a auto, arggggg more delays

MissyK

Geez Jas that Borla exhaust sounds very hot
Nate said you came by this morning with the new rims? Sorry I wasn't home. Come show me when you get another chance

tofu_box

SO yea, i ordered the greddy kit, the gauges, synapse bov, aem CAI

so yea... i dunno what happened with my original project O.O

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

make sure you start an 'install' thread when you are at that stage . Also - I hope you are getting the AP to tune it with ?

Giustino

iTrader: (2)

:O, tofu did Tim end up getting anymore feedback from cobb about becoming a pro tuner for the AP?

...and like brettus said...install thread with prices and where you purchased your stuff!

tofu_box

Cobb responded saying they dont have rom support for AUDM cars, this is the tuning side of things.

I'll start a thread once everything arrives XD

Im still going to go Protuner for this FI setup.

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

I would go to MM directly if I were you .

If he can't help and you end up with protuner let me know , I have experience with PT on my turbo 8 and am happy to help .

tofu_box

Thanks Brettus,

The turbo deal fell through, so i have jason from REVS done in SA, whose car is going into Tim and Rowan next week with a knightsport supercharger kit and also the official distributor of Knightsport here in Australia. Giving me pointers to Tim ( my mechanic) in terms of install and tune

I was able to locate that supercharger kit instead, so lets try something new
Knightsports Supercharger kit :D

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

/\ interesting - what knid of supercharger is it ?

MissyK

whoooooooooooo supercharger. now the car will be even more loud

tofu_box

:O my car aint loud

Its a centri supercharger.

Anyways got the car back after first set of tune.

Gained about 5.4kw at wheels, but man look @ the new curve, it just feels so much better!!!

Noise wise its really different too

Updated Dyno Sheet on first post!
