Haven't asked for it .

 

I have helped someone use Versa Tuner to boost there car, they are lacking the closed fuel loop tables, I like using those
does ME have a way to play with injector staging?

 

No it doesn't . Never seen a need for it when using stock/uncapped injectors.

 

I have uncapped, I have read a few things on the adaptronics and they have seen a power boost while adjusting it, they suggest its due to better atomization, figured its in the car somewhere perhaps ME had it.

 

The thing to do ...IMO ....... Is to change the injector positions . Put larger injectors in the sec position rather than the P2 . With a large injector in P2 you get too much fuel going in through the primary port . Swapping it over evens it out somewhat . Also worth noting is that the firing order that Mazda literature details is actually incorrect. The correct firing order is : P1 then P2 then secondary last .

 

i had my ECU flashed by a third party using Mazdaedit to change fans, OMP, turn off CELs for midpipe, and slightly adjust the top end AFR. However, i wanted to move to Versatune so i asked him to revert the ECU to stock.

however, when i try to install versatune, it says that its still detecting a aftermarket flash and cannot proceed with installing the basemap.

Versatuner said the aftermarket flash needs to be removed, but the aftermarket flash guy insists he returned the ECU to "as stock as stock"...

is there a special process for completely uninstalling a mazdaedit flash, or is this impossible? it's looking like i will need to buy a spare ECU to flash a versatuner basemap if i can't get the ECU back to stock, which seems to bring its own headaches...

 

Haven't tried this myself but I know that if the 'can be shared box' isn't ticked when loading any flash .... you won't be able to download the stock map (or any other map) from the ECU.

What you might be able to do is just write over top of the stock map with a map provided by Versatune.

 

The OEM access keys have been changed. VT is not able to get secure access to the ECU. We can't overwrite it.

 

Is there no way to revert back to OEM keys? Or get the currently flashed keys and enter them into VTs expectes input values?

 

If you know the Mazdadit keys, you can gain secure access and flash an OEM rom. Typically only the software devs know the keys.

 

Mazdaedit just made me update to latest version and now I'm stuck in a loop with it telling me i need the latest version . Anyone else with pro version having this issue ? Epifan is being his usual unhelpful self and telling me i'm the only person having problems.

Turned out to be something to do with my browser ... seems like it somehow was altering the file to an older file from the same source as it was downloading . Tried a different browser and voila,back in business !

 

@Brettus Ever ask him about the pop and bangs or crackle and pop feature? I asked and just got "change the fuel cut target to a higher RPM", didnt seem to work and then he never got back lol. Did some digging and messed with the timing but no luck. My buddy really wants it for his car.

 

Sorry man .... I've never tried experimenting with that . If I did want to ....... I'd try putting a whole lot more fuel in the high rpm/low load ranges in the fuel tables.

 

sounds good, ill have to give that a go and see how that works out.

 

Set leading ignition timing at -20 and trailing timing at -25 for load <0.1875 (Don't exceed 0.25) across the entire rev range.
When shifting there will be some minor pop and bangs but when you are coasting in gear, give the gas pedal the slightest bip, you will have fun from here. If you are running a cat yes you will rapidly destroy it.
Enjoy
I did this on mine with TurboXS race pipe+ cat back, it sounds awesome.

10 mpg isn’t bad enough, you have the need to dump fuel into your exhaust on deceleration/off-throttle too

 

Pfft be real... just like all the other $$$ we dump down the drain with our RX8s

 

Sweet, ya that load range I had the timing retarded but not enough at all, ill give my buddy a ring and test that out.

Thank you

 

The code is out there if you know where to find it. PM me if you want it.

 

We have a RX-8 ME key and can provide a tool to flash to stock over a ME tune. If S1 and S2 are the same, then we have it for both.

 

Am I the only one worried about the licensing of this thing?
It happened before that a cracked software I was running on the same laptop I use for ME was changing the HDD serial no or something like that every now and then. This caused ME to say my licence expired and that I have to contact epifan.
Now I don't blame the russian for making this software as it is, but what if I have to use another laptop to do my tuning and epifan simply never replies to emails anymore? Besides epifan telling me that out of 1000's of customers its only me that has issues.

 

Yeah ... It's a concern , although I'm pretty sure he set me up with a license with no end date.
Whenever I have a problem I get "you're the only one" as well. Although I have to say ...... I haven't had an issue for a few years now.

 

Hi All.
I planning to upgrade my rx8 with a turbocharger. Recently bought the mazdaedit software and was going through the maps from my car's rom file that epifansoft sends back to you after registration.
My question is how do i add more load columns the open loop Fuel tables to allow tuning for boost. the limit on the NA is about 125%

 

Click on a number in the column you want to change ...then right click then 'column header edit'.
If you have to ask that question .............................hope you are not under estimating the skill required to tune a turbo Renesis with the stock ECU .

 

Thanks for the response. i am Assuming these tables are fixed based on the ecu and we are editing not adding columns.
Currently reading the forums for more information. Will know soon enough if this goes to a professional tuner or not.
