Note to Self-

Have EFIDude tools Check
Want AP with editing software (Edited, I can not have it as I have not auditioned to purchase it)
Add Want HymeeSoft Editor

Hymee, where do I send my check?

Paypal does it for me:

sales at performancedesign dot com dot au

Cheers,
Hymee.

I much prefer the original - 'gorilla marketing'!!

For educational purposes, to provide our live tuning technology to the open source? You really make me chuckle. You have already tried to throw us under the bus on three different threads on this forum...what gives you the impression that we would want to sell you anything? As many business do, we reserve the right... If you really want to purchase something from us, then please submit the proper information about your professional tuning company, along with a purchase order, and we will begin processing the order.
I have not seen your product yet, but I commend you for staying focused. Hopefully, this only helps the market by giving consumers more options. I look forward to seeing what is released.
Again, I do not agree. We have provided Jeff and many others with tools. Jeff is a sharp cat, and he is smart enough to figure out many things on his own through trial and error, research and development, extensive testing, and data analysis. Yes, he is using our tools. No, he is not following any Cobb rule books other than physics, chemistry, the scientific method, and other means to establish proper calibrations.
I cannot do that, that decision is up to Jeff. Regardless, I feel he is properly taking care of this customer that is running leaner than desired. Good customer service will always bode well IMO.
I do feel anyone can complete quality calibrations, but I do not feel everyone should. Some should focus on what they are best at, and they should leave calibrating an ECM in the hand of professionals.
I am not sure that you and I will ever see eye to eye, and I do not think it is beneficial to the enthusiasts if you and I continue this banter so I will stop, and focus on answering meaningful questions for end users and enthusiasts.

With the above said. I would like to contribute what I can to the education of the public. Here is a link to a FREE EFI 101 class, compliments of Cobb Tuning. I hope this demonstrates that I am not on any sort of high horse ;) I will be happy to field any questions as to how this information is pertinent to a rotary engine, essentially all engines are just air pumps and you do not need to own a piston engine to understand the principles of EFI calibrations.

Take care,
Christian.

Thank You! I whole heartedly agree and will do the same.

Christian,

Speaking of helping, I tried to talk about the "difference" file approach and fear I've made a pig's ear of it. Could you please chime in?

Changes in flow distribution from a catalytic converter is documented in the information TeamRX8 posted awhile back on the FIA race cats. It shows how distributions change in the cylinder filing and if thats changing then everything upstream is changing as well.

Ok, I am persona non grata and do not get an AP or the editing software.

Hymee, please do not tell me I have to audition for your product or otherwise have to provide a resume.

I'll edit my Note To Self to remove the Cobb AP from my wish list.

Too much " group psychology" going on around here sometimes ;)

Lemmings come to mind :D:

As usual, you are putting word into my mouth.
Feel free to cull through the threads and piece together a non-contextual argument to support that idea.
I have consistently said the same thing and I will say it again here:

The OE wideband does not read low enough to be 100% useful in tuning a boosted rotary application.

If you want to apply the word "accurate" to that, feel free.
The OE wideband also does not scale lambda output evenly at its extremes, but since it isn't useful there anyway, the accuracy of its scaling is not important.

The OE wideband is not useful for tuning a boosted application.
If useful = accurate in your vernacular, then I think we have other problems looming in the dialog.

I am not sure of what any of that means. Lots of mixed metaphors. I guess I'll use one myself later in the post so at least I can steal one of your ideas.

So, I take it that you haven't read any of the other stuff I've been doing over the last 4 1/2 years?
If you ever have time, you can sift through the hundreds of hours of logs I've made of injector timing, ignition timing, airflow meter output and a myriad of other data points under every possible load condition.
Then again, you would just steal the data, anyway.

How much more transparent can you be before you are actually invisible?
Since day one on this forum, your entire MO has been to establish your position in this market and to steal as much proprietary information as you possibly can. Talk about "gorilla". You want to be the 800-pounder and all you end up as is the elephant.
Your "open source" tuning thread is just a preposterous phishing scheme.

BTW - on the "Stage 1" tune, I've pulled almost no fuel at all. This is why most people are still in the high 11's at WOT.
That tuning level only addresses drivability tweaks. The problem is dealing with various MAF tubing and its affect on fuel trim which is based on the ranges in closed-loop where I have trimmed fuel to reduce cruise load-up.
Nice try at asking politely to steal, though.

I like that. I guess that would have been an accurate assessment on Lola's part if he had an actual idea of what he was talking about.
I doubt that definition is what he had in mind when he said "gorilla".

OK. Now its starting to get old.

Don't be done with it! We need your calming effect!
What's an "animous", anyway?

Probably forgot the "ity" :lol:

The drama is entertaining.....and the information still comes out around the edges :)

It reminds me of an episode of "Setup." 10 minutes of actual racing footage in between contrived situations meant to artificially create drama. That's the car show I mean.:)

I see the first (on the forum) sale of a used Cobb programmer - there was talk of the unit being 'mated' to the ECU, to prevent one tuner programming all the RX-8s in town.....

Do any of you know if this feature made it to the final version?


S

If you return the ECU to stock..the AP uninstalls itself and can be used on a different car...

The seller needs to plug the accessport to the car, and hit the uninstall screen. That will restore the car to factory settings, and allow it to be used by the new owner. Without uninstalling, the AP cannot be used on any other car.

Christian, that's exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you so much! :)

When you are done with that, read this:

https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-aftermarket-performance-modifications-23/so-you-wanna-tuner-100333/

I completely agree Christian.

Lola your remarks there are completely out of line. No more of that from you will be tolerated by me.


2nd if this Cobb customer is a customer of Jeff's why isnt he working with Jeff on dialing in his tune like others are doing? Is this car absolutely 100% stock?

On the other hand Jeff- I have seen this now from a handful of Cobb users with your maps. Have you figured out yet why we may see these lean AFs on a select few cars?

Figured out - yes.
Come up with a comprehensive plan for addressing it? Sorta.

The problem is that there are variables that I have to address incrementally.
What I think I underestimated was the impatience of the people that have bought the thing.
I've got 40+ of the APs floating around out there.
7 or so are "problem" cars. Of those 7, more than one of the owners seemingly refuse to contribute useful data.
One way or another, I will address the issues, but I need some cooperation.

I'll attempt to draft a procedure that is more "user-friendly" so that I can bring those problem cars under the wing, so to speak.

whatever jeff did to my tune - it worked!

thanks Jeff- thats what i gathered from reading

I sprinkled it with my magical fairy dust (That was for Christian)!

It was just MAF calibration. the Maf curve is very long and very smooth.
The trick is to tilt it one way or the other until it balances correctly.
Then, the way it adjusts CalcLOAD will follow suit.

awesome! just hope to po-po don't notice the magical fairy dust...:uhh:
