Just get the logs. When you send your e-mail, add a note that you want "CAT-safe" values, and I'll try to get them as close as I can.

 

you want 2nd and 3rd wot not 3rd and 4th. I know you want 2nd and 3rd but just getting this possible question from some else out of the way.


12) Take your RX-8 to a safe section of completely open highway where you can get the vehicle up to redline in 3rd gear without being disturbed.
13) Bring the vehicle up to 3000 RPM in 2nd gear. (1st gear for the 4-speed automatic transmission.)

14) Press the "OK" button again to start the data-log and depress the gas pedal all the way to the floor.

15) When you hear the redline beep, shift to 3rd gear (2nd gear for the 4-speed automatic transmission) and continue to redline again, then release the gas pedal.

16) Press the "OK" button again. You have just created your third data-log of the engine's Wide Open Throttle performance.


Send an e-mail using THIS LINK, attach the three data-log files you have just created (one at idle, one at a steady cruise and one at WOT through (3rd and 4th gears to redline)) and provide the answers to these questions:


One more thing I am currently getting 32 mpg on the freeway with a afr in the upper 14's. I'll shoot video for anyone who doesn't believe me. I have to assume the AP is wrong??? tire size 225/45/18

 

I think most people calculate mpg based on actual numbers in their car when they refuel

 

the mm maps?

the fans kicking on sooner? i think the OMP is modified as well.

 

but you never got a custom calibration from him....? the maps that came with the AP were base and for use in his calibration process....

 

did the old base maps change the OMP and fans? if not, talk about a waste for you Kersh.

 

back to 11.1 at WOT.. eww

 

Yes. Typo the second time.
2nd gear and 3rd gear are on two separate fuel maps.
Redline in 4th would be very, very fast.

It is possible to get an instantaneous MPG like that.
Your average won't be as good.
You should get decent mileage once the calibration is complete.

Well, yeah. That is expected. We fix that next once we have the injectors/MAF set up.

 

With the latest MM tune I have,, I've increased my mileage by 17 miles to a 1/4 tank. Maybe because I'm not shooting N2O into the intake with this tank so far.

 

The latest I have went up 11 mpg @ 1/4 tank with a good time being in boost.

 

My last tank was exactly 12.01 mpg. 175 miles to 14.5 gallons. Awesome, eh?

 

last sample for me:

city only driving - 218.4 miles using 14.136 gallons of gold - 15.45 mpg

Fairly consistent too. I get on the highway and keep her there and the numbers change dramatically, to the tune of:

highway only - 330.2 miles using 14.452 gallons - 22.85 mpg

stock 04 4AT - factory everything still, except my MM AP.

 

Jeff hard at work tuning on MY AP. Sorry folks. But being local has it's privileges.
Besides who else is going to lay is car on the line for testing?



Ray waiting patiently on some up dates for his.



Here is mine, 09Factors Greddy Turbo 4 Port AT, Jeff and him just got back from doing some tuning. and Charles R. Hill's car,,,

 

I'm surprised no one bought him an AspireOne for Christmas! It's much nicer than that little 701 he uses.

 

Ray needs clear corners and tint

 

I don't want nice - I want expendable.
The 701 is practically disposable, which is the right device for the environments in which I work.

Thanks for the thought, though!
I'm thinking about stepping up to one of the 900 series with the bigger display and larger SSD.

 

MM where did you get the usb cable attached to the AP in pic #1. Will it plug into the obd2 thingy

 

Its just a regular USB-A to USB-mini cable.
It probably came with a camera or something.
You can get it at Best Buy or Fry's Electronics or something similar.
Radio Shack probably has it, too.

It can be used just like the cable that came with the AP.

 

Ay.. I'm using the exact same cord Jeff is using. I got mine from a Sony camcorder.

Since my OBD2 port SUCKS.. I have to use a bungee rope thingy to hold up the obd2 dongle securely to the obd2 port, I had my AP OBD2 dongle plugged into the bungee for a few hours and it literally bent the original usb mini connector on the dongle.. so that cable is worthless now.

 

Just use tape or Velcro.

 

Sorry I couldn't hang around longer X-mas Eve.
Being local does have it's perks.

 

Sent in my stuff, now waiting on the calibration. I'm not in any rush, since I know the holidays are busy for everyone, including me.

 

Jeff, you do realize you're gonna be swamped with orders in the very near future...I know where my income tax refund is going!

 

Bring it!
Now that I have this system worked out, I can get through a dozen or more calibrations in a day.

 

Just did my first drive cycle on the base map. With the temps around 40F out I should be able to get my second in this afternoon. :P
