Has any one heard anything about the updates on the racing beat websites on the new products to be coming out?

i think it speaks for itself

ECU/PCM Reprogramming - (Update 6/06) - Good news, Bad news. The good news is that we finally developed a flash for the RX-8 that offers improved power and performance! We have undertaken several successful test reflashes on 2004 RX-8's, but the bad news is that we are currently limited to only the 2004 model. We are currently researching this limitation and will post more information in the near future.

plus teh guage pod in a month or so and then th eheader shortly after that.

 

btw what a week this is.

Date announced for 7stock
Jeff gets the ultimate working
Racing Beat has a flash working

plus we get fireworks how does that get beat?

 

notice they don't give any clues as to power gains on ECU or the headers

 

Sweet! Too bad I have a 2005.

 

the 2005 thing will be fixd shortly

 

This is great news.......how would you reflash you computer from racing beat? It should be much less expensive then an ECU upgrade.....HOw much HP gain?

Also Headers...???? I wonder how much HP they gained from them....

WOW I am excited....

 

I just emailed RB asking for more info - specifically, if they're planning on a reflash for turbo application.

Damn. I'm suddenly very very happy to own my RX-8.

 

so what's the problem about only having the flash for 2004 models??

:D

C'mon RB- get that thing going so I can break 200whp!! :D

 

that is what i am fishing for. How cool would this be if it could be used with the AFSC, instead of Int-X

 

and lest you forget my bday is sunday..

beers

 

Crap, I cant wait !

It shouldnt cost that much to reflash. but what about the new flash from Mazda that suppose to "fix" problems? How can we get those fix? Does that mean we have to reflash the fuel map everytime we get a new update from Mazda ?

 

Sounds promising. Too bad there is no info about actual numbers. All in due time I suppose.

 

Congrats, Mine is in ....3 minutes.

 

happy bday..

beers

 

wowser, im excited! 200 whp would be nice!

 

just when you thought you stop spending money on mods huh?

 

riiigggghhhhttt!!! that could happen..

beers

 

Well as long as we are wishing, I hope it would yield that power stock. And after bolt ons get to the 215-220whp range. Who knows, maybe they will suprise us. That would rock!

 

I hate you ! You have a 04 Model !

 

Happy big day alnielsen!

I hope you like your Birthday present (Racing Beat's announcement)

I'm certainly excited about it.

 

I wonder if they did any testing on a 4 port?

 

It doesn't matter. 95% of the problem was finding a way to reflash the car. Once that's done, it's a matter of them being willing to take the final 5% and give us what we want. Write them an email!

 

What I want is control over everything from idle, fans, fuel, ignition, shift points, tranny line pressure, etc. All packaged in a nice, neat user interface. Kind of like nearly every other vehicle on the road. RB is not giving us that. Yet. If ever.
