but i never learned how to read!!!

 

done, paranoid freak

 

and I thought I had a bad day...

 

sorry
i had a terrible day @ work. screwed up a job something fierce, got yelled at for over an hour, and now i have to redo most of it.

 

sounds like you must work for the gov. lol

 

^ sounds like my day...everyday...but bitburger makes it all go away

 

Hi all,

i have an european Rx-8 and often drive it on a racetrack. So the AccsessPORT is very interesting for me because MM has setup it to deliver more Oil. I think this will reduce wear on the Engine.
Also some more HP with the 98Oktan Fuel and Greedy Exhaust with Freeflow CAT would be fine .

I already read here that it doesn't work with EU Models. So woul it be a solution to get a used ECU from an Crashed US Model and to exchange it before attaching the AccessPORT and updating the ECU? Also i can take my old ecu and connect before going to the Test derpartment for emission tests .

Thank you for your help in advance.

 

^^ sorry not quite that easy...

You can't swap ECU's between US spec cars either...without a lot of reconfiguring all the as built data

 

Why wasnt this video here weeks ago... everyone knows no one here can read lol.

 

It's not that we couldnt read, it wasnt quite as clear cut as I would have liked. I followed the directions and was still slightly uncertain. Start the car, warm it, drive it around the block, choose the map based on STFT... wasnt exactly certain at what point to read the STFT with the way it was phrased and based off a PM he sent in reply to a question of mine. And I was expecting the STFT to be a more static number, staying for more than a second or 2, but it was all over the place. So it was mostly just clarification, not actual instructions that I was looking for... and the video provided that.

 

You could do this, as long as you have access to a dealer and the e-MDS and they know how to enter the as-built data for a USDM PCM.

Now I'm happy!

 

Been enjoying this forum for about a month now around the time I got my 8.
Very good info on here.

Just got my Accessport yesterday. So far very impressed with how much smoother
the power delivery is even if not a significant hp upgrade. The delivery is much sooner.

I put in the base map and my STFT's were already close to 0 I assume that leaving it with the base map vs. one of the trims then is just fine yes?

Thanks in advance

 

Yep. That sounds like a good start.
Once you start getting on it and going WOT, let me know what your A/F ratios are like.
You will receive a follow-up e-mail in a few days.

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

Haven't had a chance yet to do much WOT use. A/Fs thus far have been
around the 14s or so though under higher load conditions.

Lowest I've seen it go is high 13s.

Thanks again.

 

Jeff, did my last e-mail request make it there? Just want to make sure you have it before going out of town.

Also, would a traditional dyno graph would provide the info you need to optimize, as long as it has AFR? Won't have data logging ability, but might be able to dyno in August.

 

I'm not going alphabetical, I'm going by order received.
But, whenever you can, I'll do what I can.

 

Every cobb should come with a full sized MM avatar i expect retroactive payment with interest

 

How about a sticker? I can probably swing that.

 

that would actually be badASS!!! i'd like to the following sticker under my hood similar to the "CAUTION: ROTARY etc etc" ones....

"Powered by: 'insert avatar pic here with the MM logo' "

seriously!



ps, also, i will be needing to talk to you in the near future, in regards to an email i sent you today through here

 

Is there a dyno chart for an RX-8 with AP and midpipe? I wanna know what kinda performance gains there will be when I get the AP on the 8. ;o

 

Dynos are all over the place, literally and figuratively.
Basically, the AccessPORT is a "harmony" mod.
If you are fortunate to have one of the engine/PCM combinations that runs lean and oils correctly (and doesn't run too hot), the AccessPORT will add very little power over just the AEM intake and a CAT-less midpipe.
Very few people are that fortunate, however.
If you have the typical RX-8 that runs around 11:1 at WOT, adding the AccessPORT after the midpipe can yield over 20 HP.

LOLZ

 

Replied to your e-mail MM, and forwarded you the original message I sent. Not sure why the requests didn't show, should be there now..

 

lmao... who is that speaking?
