No, the AWP jet air nozzle doesn't flow nearly as much air as the idle air bleed.
Plus, isn't Cam sending the JAB and the OMP vent to the MAF housing now (another pilfered fix)?
The IAB will flow as much as 2g/sec!

Its in the 60's here today.
I never really got a satisfactory resolution to my questions about the OMP nozzles and boost, other than discovering that my previous engines had bad check valves.
The idle mass is about 4g/sec.
On Jesse's car, the MAF was reading about 2.8g/sec. Pushing it up to 3.9g/sec stabilized the idle (stoich A/F and far less fuel trim), but that amounted to a 40% correction in the airflow table on the EMU.
It probably could have taken another 10%!

We stopped tuning that way at that point because that much unmetered air is unacceptable to me.

He's wired for the EMU, so I just go into the airflow meter map and add to the values - essentially what the flash tuner is doing for Pettit.

My thought as well.

^Since this thing is never going to see the light of day on the RX8, I think this thread is fair game...

I would love to see a new thread about the hose routing in a N/A setup vs a turbo setup vs a supercharger setup. Currently this info seems to be spread out all over the place. Same goes for MAF vs MAP and MAF tube size.

The really good thing about all of this is that we are starting to unleash the true potential of the Renesis...

Bump

All,

I have been following this thread from the beginning and I was really excited about this product (waiting very very patiently). I am concerned that is not going to happen with all the negativity I have seen lately. Can some one please confirm if the AFSC is gonna happen? Just a quick note from RP would nice to let us know hes still around and thinking about us.

I am about to get rid of this car due to all the nagging little things that keep popping up. Would be really nice if I could make it so special that I cant afford to get rid of it. This vehicle was going to be a lifetime car for me that I kept in the garage and showed off from time to time.

RP (or whoever can speak to this).... lets us know whats going on or everyone is going to lose interest.

Now this is odd. What discoveries? What was discovered that made RP possibly shut down the AFSC project? I thought the man was waiting on COBB.

Would you develop a product for sale if there was a high risk that it would not turn a profit?

Considering the choices and costs of FI available today the sales & profit potentials are pretty limited.

RP has a lot of stuff going on and lets face it the FI market for the rx8 is pretty small and the production of an axial flow s.c. is not exactly easy.

If this were a year ago I think more people would be willing to accept the product not coming to fruition. The things that's so hard to swallow is we all thought the AFSC hardware was complete, just waiting for the final piece of the puzzle in the fuel controller from Cobb. Does this mean that the AFSC will not be developed for the S2000 or any other car? It just seems like an awefully long road for Richard to travel to simply give up at the end. Unless of course there was an inherent flaw or incompatibility with the Rotary he recently discovered, or in fact he learned that Cobb would not be able to deliver.

I think a a statement from Richard is in order. More importantly than money, he had our our faith, and think all of us would like to hear the news, good or bad, straight from the horses mouth. It also would certainly help to consider buying other things from his company in the future.

I have talked to RP about helping with the AFSC S2000 when it comes time.


My S2000 will already have a Hot side Roots supercharger and components installed so it should be an easy fix to modify the brackets and install the AFSC.

I'm going out on a limb here and tying these two together. If I had to guess I'd say it was the latter since the ECU flashing seems to have a solution.
