i installed the AccessTUNER Race and read the help pdf. very interesting though i never plan on touching it. haha

 

can someone post the pdf that's being talked about?

 

can I datalogg with the racetunner if so how? I see the option to log but it just brings up another screen

 

Go to the help menu and choose...help.

 

Like me, he is one of the "unfortunates" that doesnt have a USDM RX-8 and therefore doesnt have the AP. I am assuming he is wanting the PDF to help him research the 1 in a million chance that Cobb actually respond to the international market.

rotarenvy, I have tried on multiple occasions with Cobb and even tried MM. I have offered my ECU and various other things and had nothing in over 12 months. If you hear anything let me know.

 

PM me your email address and I can email you a copy.

BTW the Fuel ECT compensation is a slick little piece of engine protection. Cut power and cool the motor from the inside at the same time.

 

Sorta. It isn't global, though you would never know by looking at the table.

 

could you send it to me also?

beers

 

go to ecu -> live tuning
go to edit -> configure options
go to the logging tab and select what you want logged
go to ecu - > datalogging to begin....
datalogging will appear at the bottom tool bar
go to ecu -> datalogging to quit

a viewer will pop up to display the data
a csv file will be in your cobb accessport race tuner directory folder

 

looks only like for start-up to me and doesn't do anything...

 

No, it works all the time, but its values are trimmed by the CL tables and such.
The load-altering tables are the only "true" fuel mod maps.

 

So what is the difference between this software and what COBB and its vendors, such as MM, use??

 

None, except the version you can use will only work on your maps and your AP.

 

I wasn't going to install this because I have an accessport with a map from MazdaManiac and I know they are not compatible. With that said, I could use some clarification:
I would really like to do some datalogging. Is it possible to uninstall the MM maps, install the AccessTUNER software and do some logging, and then re-install the MM map? I'm assuming it's NOT possible to do logging with my custom MM map active? Thanks....

 

Just install the software. In the ATR program open up a Cobb map to satisfy the Cobb software. Download the correct driver. From there do as I had instructed before...

It will datalog even with an MM map installed. They key difference being if you do something like a map trace you will not be tracing the right info as the map in the ATR and your ECU are not the same.

I do not believe any maps in the RX8 are "realtime" maps so there is no chance of corrupting your tune in the ECU as the only way to change things in the ECu is to do a complete reflash (which can only be done with the AP).

 

ok so now I'm totally confused?? By installing the racetunner I have changed something that is hendering MM tunes from doing something right?? With this data logging feature, I can just datalogg and save the csv. file then shouldn't I be able to attache it send it then be done till I get get a reply from jeff? Or will I have to keep using the efiprologger and some how create a readable graph using works program? If so CALLING SHELLDUDE-I need help creating a graph.

 

ATR does not make anything inoperable, nor does it change anything with any calibrations by default without you actually changing something. Just connect your laptop using the dongle/usb cable, datalog, and do whatever you need to do with the logs once you're done.

 

So how do I save the info I logged. My afr is not quite there yet still going into 12's above 6500rpm

 

The log file is saved automatically in the C:\Program Files\AccessPORT\AccessTUNER Race directory on your computer. Go to that directory, and locate the CSV file.

 

Ok I installed the access tuner and the firmware before knowing it was not compatible with MM's maps. I have a map currently flashed on my ECU and when I plugged in my AP to my OBD port yesterday it gave me an error like if the cable was wrongly connected or something. Has this happened to anyone else?

Ok just to make things clear I can see the file after I logg it but I have been through every single AP file and no saved data. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure it's not automaticaly saving anything. can someone give me step by step info as to where this directory file is?

 

in the racetuner folder... should look something like " Stock Style Mode MTv100_080919162516.csv" .... only the title will reflect whatever file you have loaded in the ATR software

 

ahh found it!! had to go through ATR - select view from the tab menu,select data log viewer, select file open data log, go into my computer, c drive, program files, accessport then access tunner race. I cant see the loggs by just going thru my C drive and serching for the files you have to actually open the race tunner program.
