This would make sense if Jeff were trying to market this over in the Pettit threads. As it is, he isn't, so I don't see the connection to this thread.

Now if any of the "Pettit crew" were to come to another thread(like this one) for the sole purpose of being internet ****-disturbers, that would be ridiculous for many reasons.

 

Pics?

 

You want to see pics of a OBD port?

 

I believe Jeff has visited EFIDude related threads and crapped on them. What's the difference? It just seems like the thing to do, right?

 

Looks great!

Can't wait to see the product for sale!

 

except he actually has enough knowledge to do so reasonably....

 

Lola -

You are thread crapping. In case you didn't notice, the header on this thread is "AccessPORT", not "EFIDude". Talk about that in your own thread.

I can configure for any size injector and boost all the way up to double the N/A flow.

Should be the same as the Subies. The AP is $695. I don't know the price of the software, but you won't need it unless you really want it.

1) Almost immediately, I'm sure.
2) 50%? I'm going for 100%.

You want fries with that, too?

Thanks, Denny. You are (like Phil) atypical, unfortunately.


True, but with the AP, that would be ALL of us since there is no MAP sensor.

If your car will idle on the OEM PCM with your current MAF, the rest is a piece of cake.
For the Pettit, this will be a big challenge since it won't idle because the blower isn't clutched (like a twin-screw needs to be on a street application). The idle is addressed on its own from the load maps, so it won't be an issue.


For now, they are not addressed because they don't figure into the performance equasion.


I turn mine on at 195°F, but you could turn them on all the time if you wanted to. You can control them separately, just like the OE control - because it is the OE control.


I cranked mine up to 850 RPM. It is very smooth. You shouldn't need anything any higher, but since the Pettit idle is so dismal because of the high load, you could put it wherever you want. You could idle at 4k if you wanted to!


You mean coast-down? You can adjust anything that has a table. If the OE PCM does it, you can change it.


The fuel pump is already load-based, so you could just change the load point. The current build doesn't have it, but it will be in the next build on Monday or Tuesday.

 

ok, so you're saying you can just scale the values for the injector sizing and it will run properly?

 

Yep. There is a scaling value for all three injector banks. You just dial it up or down.

Also - the coils don't make any difference to the tuning as far as I can tell.

 

ok. I'm sold.

 

looks like the ap will be worth the wait....

 

Great info Jeff --thanks.
you are right about the load at idle and unfortunately(as far as idle purposes go) i also have a light flywheel
All these feature sure will be nice. I can even set a soft cut redline were I want it also
I wonder how long my learning curve would be? Or maybe i would be just as satisfied with a pre made map. I like a conservative tune anyway.
Damn i feel 5 yrs younger--now if I can JUST get this new engine in
olddragger

 

Between 790 and 810.
The OE target is 800.

No wait. Its available now. Just let me know when you are ready.

 

Are you saying i can give you the money now and you can send me a cobb ap?

 

So Jeff, why do you think those Pettit people have that completely out of control over the top outrageous idle requirement?

 

+1....

 

Jeff, you show up on non AP threads talking up the AP. I do not have a problem with it. As the ultra smart guy that you are, I am certain you can figure out that your rules apply to you as well unless you truly are special.

As for this thread, I am enjoying it. It really seems like Cobb has done their homework.

 

+1 as well

 

don't wanna say I told you so, but ...

 

Jeff,

as far as the MAF being a tuning issue, so long as the stock MAF was used with a pipe the same diameter and the stock screen, does the intake tube length matter as far as tuning? You made a comment about this earlier and I'm not sure I completely followed your response.

 

To all,

My name is Christian Krahenbuhl, I am a trainer, one of the calibrators at Cobb Tuning, and I manage the AccessTUNER Professional network. We have set up a company blog and I also have a personal section there for myself that you are welcome to read through to get a better idea about our company and myself. We have extensive experience with tuning Subarus, Mitsubishis, Nissans, & Mazdas through the OEM ECU. I am also familiar with calibrating various stand alone ECUs on rotary and piston engines. As you know, we are getting closer and closer to releasing the AccessPORT for the RX-8. I wanted to make myself available to answer any questions you may have concerning the AccessPORT and the AccessTUNER Professional software. I will be paying attention to this and many other forums so please allow me sufficient time to respond.

I will be working with Jeff (MazdaManiac) and other tuners across the U.S. in order to help them better understand the various aspects of using the stock EMS for generating calibrations. I look forward to answering your questions. As with many new products that we release, we cannot expect to get everything absolutely perfect with the initial release of a product. We appreciate your feedback and we want to make sure we understand your expectations of our products for the RX-8. We have set up this link on our forums to help us directly communicate with our RX-8 AccessPORT end users. Please feel free to register there.

Take care,
Christian.

 

Thanks Christian, on behalf of the forum, we certainly appreciate what you guys have done for the RX8 community.

 

Welcome Christian. Putting the AccessPort in Jeff's hands was an excellent decision.

I'm extremely eager to get ahold of the product.
