THERE IS NO STAGE TWO!
You start with a basic calibration and then I work with you to maximize it.
Rev limit is 9200 RPM. I can put it anywhere up to 10k upon request.
It doesn't matter what direction the trim is going. As long as its less than ~12% or so, it is inconsequential.

That explains why we couldn't come up with an answer at that meet! Alright, thanks for clearing that up. The data that is being posted would be for that maximization then, ok makes sense.

I don't see why Mazda couldn't alter the fan trigger temps with one of their software revisions, I still haven't seen coolant temps past 200F since installing a MM map.

According the FSM, Mazda believes that 217°F is an optimal operating temperature.
That must have an emissions implication.

Hey Jeff, Switched to the 5b (-10) All my Afr's are looking great until i hit 101 mph then its just 11.1, 100 mph its chilling at 12.5-13.2 but right when i cross the 101 marker its way too rich.

That's odd. Any time I'd get up that high, it would go well into the 220s before leveling off. On the other hand, my fan(s) are essentially always on now.

I won't be able to dyno or record data for a while, but I'm going to reply to your e-mail with a request shortly. Thanks again, I appreciate you taking in second owners!

Wouldn't that be a bad thing for the fans to be running all the time?

I'm not sure, I suppose it's fine as long as the battery is strong. I'm requesting a slightly higher fan trigger temp to try and get the best of both worlds, sorta say. Jeff had mentioned it here. I'd think you'd want to try out the MM setting and see how it works for you first.

I noticed that after I got the Mazda MSP-16 flash that my fans seem to run more often and for longer duration after I shut the engine off. I wonder if it's just me or if they tweaked the trigger temp.

No, the car runs a bit hotter because of the changes to the ignition map, most likely.

cat and compression is fine... had em checked today

timing is what im thinking is the problem... im putting in new spark plugs this week to see if condtions improve.. i doubt that is it cause they are only 6 months old.... but whatever... can always pull em .. check em clean em back up and throw em back in

What were your compression numbers?
How was your CAT "checked"?
Coils, not plugs.

Most importantly - have you followed the instructions for your AccessPORT that I sent (and posted)?
What are your load AFRs? Where did your fuel trims net?

Right....I had the same HP #'s as Jim (heyarnold), and we are both still running very rich. Jeff, did you get my email from Saturday afternoon? I included my dyno results and all the relevant info. And my plugs and coils were recently changed.


Smoothing as in a function of the dyno software? We had 2 other 8's run on the same dyno immediately after him, and there was no jagged-ness. But yeah, his pull did sound and otherwise appear normal, so it seems like some sort of display glitch.

cat was checked by some cool maching that measures air in and out of the cat and gasses apparently ... im sure there is a technical name for what the dude did... i just dont know it.

This is key to understanding a part of the symbiotic relationship that MM and I have. We have complementary skills and interests and if one of us doesn't have the answer, the other one will.

I am simply tooting the "teamwork" horn.

We also have input and help from MANY people who wish to see us successful and, for them, we are grateful.

/e wonders how much mr hill is charging and if there is a different map needed

Everyone that has received an AccessPORT should go back and reread the first post of this thread.
I continue to get questions that are answered there and in the e-mail that is sent to each new purchaser.

If you have received an AccessPORT from me and have NOT received the e-mail that mirrors the first post of this thread (along with a series of questions regarding your particular application), please send an e-mail to ap@mazdamaniac (.com).

Thanks!

i just went throught that email earlier today. loving it so far, i still need to check my afr under higher load, i only had one chance and i think i hit 11.0

Jeff just how exact is the AP when giving data. It is not to uncommon to see an afr with a 10.?? under wot. but I have yet to see a 10 while using the efidude datalogger.

Hey Jeff. I'm still waiting on a tweaked map from you. Do you have an ETA for me?

makes me wonder why everyone gets excited about turning the fans on so early ......

I can only speak for myself but by the time it reaches 220 degrees I am headed for disaster. I need to keep my temp down below 220 and I will be fine and the early fans help do that.

paulmasoner

iTrader: (1)

my guess is the 217 degree mark has nothing to do with peak efficiency or performance. but something else Mazda deems more important. Afterall they also reccomend the 5W20 to the US but not the rest of the world....

i'd venture that it has to do with mileage, emisions or something of that nature

Yes, and yes.

From the first page, why are these CEL's masked?

# P0300 Random misfire detected
# P0301 Front rotor misfire detected
# P0302 Rear rotor misfire detected

as well as all the front O2 sensor stuff?

I'll admit I am guilty of this. I didn't check to see if the original post was changed and alas it answers my questions. My apologies.
