I'm revoking the MazSport caveat to the Base Calibration set.
If you are running ANY ignition system, use the provided base calibrations.
Any changes in dwell will be addressed later as these calibrations, as noted, are NOT designed to do anything other than provide preliminary data.
They do NOT contain any "tuning" and will not challenge any ignition system any more than a stock tune would.

If you are boosted, the same precautions apply. You should NOT be pushing too far into boost with these base calibrations.

Its a strange substance people in the northern latitudes use to capture urine - usually in the shape of their name.

Damn i'd have to say at idle for the first two startups its no fun at all, its like it forgot to realize i took my foot off the clutch goes 20.3 just had to tap the gas a few times in town traffic. almost lost her once but cought it before it died.

I got your logs and you didn't even include an idle log as the instructions request.

It's pretty neat. I hadn't heard of it here in san antonio till last night. Apparently when it gets really cold and it's raining, it will turn to this light fluffy white stuff... It turned to water when it hit the concrete but it just slowly drifted down to the ground...

So what Frank said was true,,,,
, "Don't you go where the Huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow".

uh...fail...?

the instructions don't get any clearer...I don't understand how people have so many problems following simple instructions :dunno:

no wonder Jeff gets frustrated....I do just reading some of the posts in this thread :lol2:

:beer05: here you go MM, you deserve one...or ten :P

is that directions for an idle log?

yes.

Quick question... you say for the 2 driving cycles to drive it carefully? why is that? (again... question for anyone who knows)

maybe cuz it's not the proper calibration yet? :dunno:

laythor 12-10-2008 11:37 PM

I swear to god I read the first post... if we have a custom map we should still do this, correct?

1) Prudence.
2) The calibration is very, very generic.

The idea is to get data. So, there is NO fuel tuning, no MAF tuning and no injector scaling.
In theory, it should run like stock.
However, I have learned a LOT about theories over the past couple of years and, well, I'm gonna stick with what I know.

Yes. I will clarify the instructions further.

but that makes me wonder... how carefully... from what it says in the first post, we'll be waiting up to 3 days for the proper calibration. Does this mean we drive carefully that whole time?

That's up to you. Its your car.
You'll be waiting probably longer than 3 days. That is just the turn around for the customized base calibration. It will then take a few more data logs using that modified data to get proper performance tuning.
If you feel the car is safe to drive - drive it however you like. Only you know what is proper for your situation.

Added just for you:


Those MazdaManiac Custom Calibration Service users that already have customized calibrations that are performing satisfactorily need not submit any further customization requests or logs.
You may, however, wish to update your firmware to take advantage of the new features.

awesome blossom... I'm playing with the data logging but was unsure of scrapping my super awesome custom map

You could always get another one from scratch and compare. Kind of an A/B comparison.

Jasonawojo 12-11-2008 12:29 AM

Oh Jeff, I've been spoiled running your smooth map for a while. My car certainly doesn't like that Base map as much hah. I'm e-mailing you my logs now, but question; at what point should I request the redline and fan temp changes I had before?

MazdaManiac 12-11-2008 12:50 AM

Well, if you are already running OK, you don't need to change.

I see. The base calibration is set up for what exactly? Is it -only- for finding the data logs to get the performance tune? Or is it supposed to be a safe map for the car to run that isnt the best performance? Just wondering if you'd recommend sticking with the base calibration you send us till we get the performance tune...

Well smooth, but I didn't get an updated map with leaned AFRs before the big update, so I figured I needed to start over. That's the impression that I got from the instructions; if your tune isn't completely finalized you need to start over?
