Don't want to get into an argument about how to tune . What I will say is that your method seems to add an unesessary level of complexity to NA tuning .
The STFT/LTFT regime does a good job of adjusting for minor discrepencies and delivering consistent results until something major is wrong . I believe that asking people to strive for perfection in this way is just leading them into doing a whole lot of tail chasing .

 

I respect your opinion and I don't disagree with much of your statement. But it works, and it's accurate. So I'd rather do it one way every time, regardless of modifications.

 

I'm sure it works ok . Only commented because a few people seem to be floundering around and bob posted in here .

 

Anyone hear from Epi lately? Never heard back from him regarding the fanspeed issues for the S2.

 

just today ...... been having a few issues ith the software

 

ah. I sent a few emails before today and didn't hear anything.

There's an update to ME Personal today. Version 2.3.8.827

 

oh neat. I'll have to check when i get home, thanks

 

Can't see anything different about it ... but it does seem to have fixed an issue I was having .

 

Yea nothing really looking different here. The S2 fan map has been renamed a little bit but the values are looking the same

 

Quick question(s) about the closed loop max load A, B, and C maps. How does the computer decide which map determines the jump from closed to open loop? Is it the first of the maps to reach the transition point, or is it the last of the maps (even though map A and B are identical)? Is there some other computation that I'm not aware of that dictates when the change happens?

 

When you figure it out ...let us know ... I doubt that anyone actually knows the answer to that . I have tried all manner of things to control the CL exit and the only one that I've found that actually works is the 'closed loop exit rpm' map .

While i'm on it ............ LOT's of the maps don't do what the labels say they do .................

 

This for sure

 

It isnt just M/E................... same goes for Cobb AP.

 

I'm new to this and I have the cash to spend a little . My question is, a guy at work has a tactrix open port cable and adapters. Can I use his and buy the software from epifan? The cables are not vin locked right ... Just the software, correct ? I don't want to make it where he can't use it again after I use it on my car .

 

a cable doesn't help much ..... you need the tactrix op2 , and it needs to be coded to your software and yours alone . So ................ you need both software and op2

 

Thanks for the help. I just bought the openport. And I'll buy the software when the part arrives. Will there be any reading material ? I want to get familiar with it before I jumped in. Like. When I start does it adjust factory maps or do I have to make them from scratch.?

 

What issues u are having?

I havent touch the software since last time we talked about the fan speed thing, been busy fixing broken rx7 and 8

 

I guess I shouldn't have used the word 'issues'. Basically just meant how the Speed2 fan option didn't seem to do anything and that there was no car-off-fan-on temp. Sent him a couple emails on it but no response

Just ordered the software, the tactrix 2.0 cable and the laptop. Now I need to read all 34 pages to collect knowledge.


But for starters, its a 2007 automatic. Would like to raise rpm to around 8,700 would. And cooler fan options. Wish me luck in a week when it all arrives.

 

So this is a topic that is outside of the topic of this thread, but you will want to do more reading around the rpm on an automatic. If i remember correctly, it doesn't net you much gains and puts some added stress on the transmission.

 

The six speed auto has the 6 port motor, so im sure after I remove the governer ill get to the point of where the engine makes peak power.

And from my research I gathers that the torque converter is what fails at 9,000 rpms so I will lile to keep it lower then that. Also installing a six speed manual differentle should help with lowend powrr as well.

Edit, im very sorry fir threadjacking. Its jusy this was an option I found affordable I will make my own thread so you guys could throw pointers.

 

Can mazdaedit disable rear lambda? I don`t need this, but when is removed it caused CEL.

 

Yes ....no problem
