Now I'm just waiting for it to see what happens.

I would have preferred that you had a good understanding of what the AccessPORT is going to do for you before you pulled the trigger!
That said, there really isn't another mod you can get for the RX-8 that is a better way to spend your money.
With over a thousand units in the field, I have yet to have a customer tell me that a custom calibration had no positive effect on the operation of their vehicle.

Angel,
I'm sure you will be more than satisfied, I bought the AP and tuning,unfortunately a few days after receiving the AP, my motor lunched itself. **** happens.
While the car was running, I did get to play with the AP and found it useful in monitoring certain parameters and masking the O2 cel just in time for my emissions test.
I wasn't paying out on you, just poking fun.

ATTENTION -
If you are currently running a MazdaManiac base calibration, you will need to contact me as soon as possible for an updated version.
There is a bug in the calibrations that is tied to the newest firmware that may cause the AccessPORT to become unstable, lock up in the monitor mode and/or cause the calibration to be incorrectly loaded into the PCM.
This seems to only affect the North American and European calibration, but please feel free to contact me for an update no matter what your location is if you are still on a "v4.0.0" calibration.
Those with "v4.0.1" and higher needn't worry as your calibration should already be updated, especially if you received your most recent file within the last 3 months.
Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

You placed your order on September 24th, 2011. On October 8th, you requested a refund.
It was explained to you at that time that your window for cancelling the order had already passed and, as per the agreement that you clicked-through to place the order, there are no refunds or returns.
That said, when your shipping window came around on, I sent you an e-mail indicating that if another European order came in, I would substitute that new customer's order for yours and issue a refund.
On the 9th, I issued a refund, but you initiated a charge-back before the funds could hit your account,. This stopped Google from giving your money back until the charge-back could be resolved.
I provided Google with all of the documentation of your purchase - including the refund order - but now you were facing a 30-day hold because of your action.
On the 7th of December (two days BEFORE you made this post), Google released your funds.
@Mazdamaniac
no money to get back to the present day
615 $ is a lot of money at the moment for me....

Quick question Jeff, to what extent of variation between AFR's would it take for you to note a problem with lets say a fuel pump? I know the OEM can barely keep up with high loads and I'm suspecting my fuel pump is starting to die. I noticed on one log I only could hit 8.4k on my rpms. If you didn't lower my rpm limiter than I must have had an issue that night that didn't allow me to hit 9k. I'm going to do a few logs tonight and tomorrow then be online Tuesday night and I'm hoping you can look at my logs.
I'm ordering a new Aero pump from BHR regardless this week but I'm hoping that it wont drastically affect my tune and have to start over because it had been tuned to accommodate a failing fuel pump.

Power!!
Unfortunate to see after all this time people still don't get how this all works. If $600 is a lot of money to you then I question your priorities of spending it on your car.
This is a great mod and Jeff is a great tuner. You just need to get him in your zipcode, or go to his, and join a dyno day if you want to get things done in a timely fashion.

These days, with the real-time live tuning sessions, it is a bit like having a personal dyno day. I have some customers that run successive logs in one session. Sometimes I can get the entire calibration process done in one session.

Time to start checking things out under the hood tomarrow starting with my plugs then. I'm still getting the aero pump as a precaution, I'd rather not have my car stall on a hard left turn on a autocross day.
Thanks, I'll catch you online the next session.
#6397
Will be getting my car back pretty soon, hopefully before the coming holidays... cant wait for jeff to finish up the tune...
Happy Holidays everyone !!!
*though Jeff rarely reply PM's, his avatar pic is always in season... Hee

cobb newb question
Yes I've used search, I find its a littled limited using the search with the mobile version.
So I just bought a used cobb AP, I'm worried cus when I opened the box there was no paperwork, just obd2 dongle, usb mini, AP, and some plastic pieces(mounting clips Ill figure out)
The AP has something loose in it I can hear jiggling around the inside of the device.
I want to hook it up to verify it works but I cannot seem to find a link for initial set up for a first time user.
Any help...
Thanx
