Generally, I'll say "you're done" when your WOT AFRs are steady in the high 12's, low 13's for NA, low 11's for FI and your fuel trims are +/-6 or less (I prefer +/-3 or less) and you have no drivability complaints.

Actual target AFR is, of course, dependent on your mods (CAT-delete, ignition, etc.).

If you feel you are done, feel free to make a note in your submissions that you think you are at target and I'll let you know if I concur.

^ Jeff, I re-submitted my 11 deadly questions.

"If your RX-8 has a modified or non-standard MAF housing or if you have modified or non-standard fuel injectors, you MUST submit for a modified base calibration for your particular application before proceeding."

I am FI and i have non standard fuel injectors so i sent the 11 deadly questions based so you can create the appropriate starting point your instructions say this is a must before proceeding....is that not correct.

So I am installing my AP today and it says that my car is a 2005 model -- it's actually a 2006.

Yes I know I've read this:

However does this apply to the model year as well? Should I be installing the "05" or "06-08" file?

What?!?! A manifold crack, sorry for the thread hijack but please explain. How did it happen? How did you find it? Can you be more specific with the location of the crack?

Thanks... again sorry for the thread jack Jeff.

It will ONLY let you install what it believes is the correct file, so do what it says.

The exhaust leak probably wont make a difference, so send your stuff.

Hey Jeff, don't mean to be impatient, but just checking to see if i missed anything in my first submission or you are just still backed up on tunes. I got my "received" email for my first set of logs March 10, if everything is ok with my submission and you are still just backed up on tunes, sorry for my impatience. Thanks

-Jeff

Its a crack where the manifold meets the curve to where the turbo mounts.

I can hear it! but it goes away once the car fully warms up. Idk how it happens maybe the greddy stuff is just crap.. I have a new manifold but i havent had time to swap it out..

I just sent my injectors out to be modified and hope to have them back and installed in a week 290/380/650. Should I send in the 11 deadly questions now to get a new base calibration or should I wait till i get the injectors installed and use the base NA? I have a track day at the end of the month, I dont want to cut things close with tunning. Thanks

The installation of the injectors and a new, adjusted base calibration must coincide. You cannot run the car with one and not the other.

He was already sent his stuff. His calibrations are, as always, in the usual spot.
