She Blowed
I am not sure on the rotary engine what happened but the case is damaged. The replacement motor is new not remanufactured - over $4000 plus install and calibration of the computer. It also included installing boost and another gauge. The cost is actually quoted at $5600 but I have never had anything come in at cost. Several of his friends initally installed the turbo kit and he drove it 2 days (or actually a day and a half) without having it tuned. They will be getting the old engine back (40,000 Miles)

ummm, not the same thing at all. The factory PCM adjusts fuel delivery via fuel trims. The maps we are talking about do not.

"R" was even worse.
"M" was as close to uniform as we've seen and it still has a lot of variation from car to car even though the ones and zeros are all the same.

What the heck are you talking about? You seem to be saying that the maps that the emanage and interceptor use don't adapt to car-to-car variation because they aren't on the same stock flash.... I seriously hope that is not what you are saying.

i thought the interceptor-x was intercepting and replacing the signal rather than manipulating it (like the greddy emanage). if this is the case... why does it matter which flash you are on?

My car went in limp mode a while ago, due to a blow EGI fuse, and the RPM's were limited to 3k. So the factory ecu still has control over something related to the engine. Probably DBW. I think the Interceptor does control Sdias though.

DBW gets limited to 80% and S-DAIS get shut down.
