Even if you passed through that load range it would be literally nothing for the time frame involved. If you want extra oil at cranking Mazda added that feature in a past pcm update.

Phil Bate

Yeh plenty, it's nothing exciting. You don't see loads that low however:







Maybe under deceleration, but why there

TeamRX8

There's a response time factor involved too. The OMP cannot magically jump from step 4 to step 31 instantaneously ...

There you go again ............ calling out people without offering any kind of explanation yourself .

Calling my comment "ignorant" when i said it was my "guess" is sounding like you just wanted to fire a random shot at me for the sake of it.

My suggestion is perfectly plausible but, yes , the load at idle is higher. I can't be sure what tables the ecu is referencing at startup though, hence the "guess" .

What IS your explanation BTW?

I wondered how does the logging function in ME works.

I assume I have to use the Mazda Can Logger ? cuz Mazda Can Gen 2 Logger always disconnect on its own

Ok fine I tried Mazda Can Logger, connected, play around with it for 15 minutes, can't seem to get it to log anything? nothing is showing on the page ? hmmmmmmm

Did I miss anything ? gonna try it again tomorrow (my time)

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

Did you press INS on the keyboard to start and stop the log ?

Side note ... not that I am advocating anything, but just to put it out there in hopes to prevent many questions ... I was able to pass emissions in my state w/ a ME tune. Purely an OBD2 test, no sniffer, but as far as an OBD2 test is concerned, i can validate that the disabling of certain things works just fine.

Do you see any parameters available on the left of the screen once you're connected? Check our Demo Mode - it should look something like that.


If you're correctly connected to ECU you should be getting live updates on all parameters on the left. I.e. they change as you watch them.


You can set up your Dashboards at this point, and like Brettus says, select Log Data To File (Ins), or if you find it easier, just save the full session once you've been for your drive and then carve up the log later.

Phil Bate

I just use the Openport in standalone mode, saves having a laptop hooked up

nycgps

iTrader: (1)

I did (the ins) and log to file, but nothing seems to be happening.

I then switch to OBD mode, mostly work, but as you guys know there is not much I can "see" at OBD mode

Im gonna try it again tomorrow. it's weird.

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

Did you get a "ding" noise and a green line appear at bottom of screen ? If not , you aren't logging !

TeamRX8

iTrader: (25)

you mean the other two responses ahead of yours that you failed to acknowledge:




I'll call you out for a knee-jerk response too since you clear didn't read what followed ...



.

nycgps

iTrader: (1)

it is green

I need to get this to work, gonna go back tomo for more testing

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

Neither of which were an explanation to the original question .............

nycgps

iTrader: (1)

Ok, logger

OBD Logger, seems to be working fine, but this is not enough data, so move on.


but if I pick this, the 2nd option ,rx8.xml


nothing happens no matter what I do,can't log anything


but if I pick the first option in the 2nd pic (mps.xml), and pick this option during ECU selection, things seems to be ok.



Is this the right way to do it ?

Pick Mazda Logger --> first option --> Select RX-8

if so, wtf is the rx8 xml thing on the first option's "rx8.xml" ?

Brettus

iTrader: (2)

'Mazda Can' is a better choice .... you get more of the parameters you need with that selection.

I just sent Epifan a message about S2 fan speed issue, I told him how it works, sent a graph, and I think he is working on it.

and the RPM limiter thing, that's not the actual rpm limiter, more like a Warm Up RPM Limiter, correct ?

paimon.soror

iTrader: (15)

Its funny I never really connected the dots but you are right, only 2 entries for fan speed on the S2 maps. Glad you caught this, It was one of the first changes we made to my map and I assumed it worked.

nycgps

iTrader: (1)

it didn't work at all, at least on the JDM that I've tried, Fan speed still kicks on @ the default temp, I was monitoring it with IDS and noticed the mod didn't change anything.

I posted here long time ago, but no one seems to have an answer, then ... I forgot about it until yesterday, I was checking the S2 maps again and I was like "uhhhhh, forgot about the fan issue

then I just screen shot the Service highlights of how the fan system works and sent it to epifan, I think he is working on it because he usually reply fast to me (cuz we are in the same/close time zone I think), but not this time. 12 hours already no reply. I hope he is working on it.

Oh btw, have you guys figured out how the S2's E-MOP system works? it does not uses a 60 steps stepper motor anymore and the numbers are in thousands. I wonder if that's the right map. what did u guys do to those maps ?

blah blah blah yeah I know this is S1 section, WTF who cares. this thread gets more attention and we're talking about the same software,

paimon.soror

iTrader: (15)

I'm not sure if the pic i posted is in this thread or the S2 thread, but yea the numbers for the OMP are for sure different than the S1. I dont recall seeing any of my numbers in the thousands but close to it for sure once I increased the rate by 30% (this is what Kane does on his tunes). Only way I can think of testing it to see if it works is to increase the number so much that you start blue smoking idle lol

Kane

iTrader: (1)

Yep - the blue smoke at idle is about the best way to test for too much oil.

paimon.soror

iTrader: (15)

just sent you a pm to direct you to the Fan on discussion here for your own FYI

great minds...

paimon.soror

iTrader: (15)

NYC;

If epifan gets back to you with a (possible) fix for the fan issue, can you ask him what the map was originally pointing to. Would be nice to know that we didn't go off changing some random parameter lol.

nycgps

iTrader: (1)

Just got a reply from epifan

Well I just said yes nothing happens, at least on the jdm model that I've tried, will try to get a log again this weekend and see what happens.

I wonder if VersaTuner is the same ?

and about the "RPM Limiter"

I asked : "it seems that limiter should be a "Warm Up RPM Limiter" more than an actual RPM Limiter."

which I told him 9000 rpm.

Seems like there is a lot of work needs to be done with the S2 maps.

paimon.soror

iTrader: (15)

Interesting, thanks for opening communication with him. I do know that the very basics work, i.e. the ignition timing, maf scaling, afrs, and VE tables.

I have had some trouble getting a hold of him in the past, probably because I only have the personal version, but if he needs anything tested he is more than welcome to share and i can report back my findings.
