ECU has been in stock, been waiting on the new wideband O2 module to close out the last feature I was looking for. Which everybody else is trying to get their hands on it too it sounds like. Those new modules sold out quickly and there’s a waiting list is my understanding. Since my cars not ready to run I’ve just been sitting on my original order as they continued to develop the ecu. Was one of the first people to order one several years ago and could have had the first version then, but I wanted all the things that weren’t fully worked out initially. Glad I waited.
Just an update I pre purchased 3 units and already 2 have sold! I have plenty of Adaptronic Lambda Modules in stock ready to ship.
Cheers,

Shawn, would you mind posting up a good detailed explanation to why we would look to go the the lambda kit with the BMI vs a standard wideband gauge kit and using serial? You genuinely have me interested.
Edit: Shawn you linked me earlier to the BMI gauge on the the AEM Infinity ECU but didn't see the adaptronic section. So all the functions are maintained. very cool. You may have just swayed me then.
Also on the BMI what all functions are retained with the adaptronic in comparison to the AEM Infinity ECU's? This is kinda the make or break for me, as if I can't use a majority of the functions then the BMI is kinda useless imo.

I apologize but I am little confused about what you are asking?
So there is a company called BTI - they make CAN communication display units - the units that are available are a standard 52mm gauge, 2.5" display, 3.5" display, 5" color touch screen, 7" color touch screen displays. Each display can display a certain amount of parameters that are input into the Adaptronic Modular ECU - IE if you have fuel pressure you can show fuel pressure - if you have ethanol sensor you can see Ethanol % - also if you have the Adaptronic Lambda Module it will also display AFR ratio on the gauge.
Not sure were you got the AEM infinity ecu in our conversation other than BTI does sell a version for that type of ECU but that is not the version you would purchase from me - Also I have only spoken about the Adaptronic Modular Plug N Play ECU which has full CAN integration with the stock CAN bus system.

Sorry again I edited my post, but probably a bit late you had most of this or all of it typed up. I saw your link and missed the Adaptronic section when you sent it to me.
Awesome, Look to hear from me soon, still selling some stuff to clear my garage and make this more of a justified purchase.
Team you mind checking to see which version you get? I have a V03 and curious if they updated anything since then.
Just received it yesterday. Elliott told me that V2 was the final update maybe a month ago and that’s what it appears to be.
I have an AiM Pista dash display that I’ll be tying it into by CAN.
Also have a full Innovate LC2 wideband setup with Modular Serial Cable still NITB that was purchased prematurely and is no longer needed if anyone is looking for one, will cut you a deal

Yiu got the Adaptronic wideband module, correct? Did you get it pinned in yet? Curious how you routed it and if you came up with any helpful tips, or maybe it went pretty smoothly.

Hm I wonder what was updated? Does it look any different?
If you're up to it I would love to see the main board out of the case. Very easy to do. If not I understand.
The only difference with the V2 really is that it includes some extra bits for the the OEM 4 wire wideband - but from my experience and what adaptronic has conveyed to me that it doesnt work the best so far. It is on the level of the innovate product were it is relatively finicky and the heater control is not as precise.

Interesting. You me the stock narrowband?
Or are you saying it pretty much has the lambda module built in now?

No they are two different modules (Rx8 board has its own built in 02 module for the stock wideband ) there is an anditional open slots for lambda module - I run two of them on my car

Rx8 Modular ECU + dual Lambda Module
Oh okay so I am up to speed now on this whole ordeal. And you just have to add the two additional wires to the harness for a 6 wire wideband?
So Help me out here (sorry still don't have my car back so can't really reference anything)
- Stock ECU uses 4 wire to stock wideband; What are those wires assigned to when using the adaptronic?
- Adaptronic needs at least one Lambda module to use a CAN connected Wideband. Correct?
- Adaptronic uses 6 wire to lsu wideband; uses standalone 6 wire harness that needs to be wired into the ecu connectors. Same for adding a secondary?
When you receive the package you will want to follow the instructions on the Lambda Module product page on this website for installing the actual module - Lambda Module Product link
Once you have the module installed you will need to pin the 6 wires from the lambda sensor harness into the OEM connector - I recommend two options to getting the wires into the OEM ECU enclosure - Option 1 is to go through the vents for the ECU in the front of the OEM ECU enclosure Note you will need to cut the cooling plate inside of the OEM ECU enclosure which is recommend anyways for better fitment of the ecu. Option 2 is to drill a hole in the OEM ECU enclosure cap and fishing the 6 wires through with a grommet to help with keeping it water resistant.
Now that the wires are inside the OEM ecu enclosure you will want to pin all 6 wires to their associated location to read and operate the lambda sensor. Before you insert the pin you will need to unlock the associated connector that the pin location is at. You can go out and purchase pin removal tools but a simple pin board pin works very well for unlocking the connector. The lock is on the smooth side of the connector and you use the pin board pin to lift the lock. The pins only go in one way and should slide in easily - you should feel each pin click as they go in and you will not be able to pull the wire back out. If you do make a mistake and push the pin into the wrong location on the front of the connector each pin has its own individual latch locking the pin in. Use the pin board pin to lift the latch and you should be able to pull the pin back out.
Yeah, that’s what I didn’t get and was yammering on about a page or two back. With the direct WB O2 module setup you have to replace the standard wiring pins with OE Mazda type pins and plug them into the proper locations of pcm wiring harness connectors

Not there yet unfortunately. It came with the ecu from Turbosource, so the pins still need to be converted to Mazda type and I suspect that it will need to be lengthened some too to work with my custom header. I’ll probably route it back similar to the OE routing. I suppose in theory you could possibly hijack the four OE sensor wires, relocated the pins, and only run the other two wires, but I’m not 100% on whether that makes any sense or not. I hadn’t considered keeping and running the OE sensor too since I’ll have dual egt. I also don’t consider the OE sensor to be that good, which is why I went for the WB setup. If the OE sensor module can be replaced with a WB O2 module I might do that, but am thinking that’s not possible because it likely was never designed for that and the 4 vs 6 wire difference.
