I am using one of jeff's maps he tuned me for on 7-8 psi but I am only runing 6psi up top and it bleeds off to 4psi. I am still trying to figure out the Profec EO-1.

Also the random misfire is from running very rich.Jeffs maps have some rich spots. I still get that random Mis fire code but you now when you get it because the car feels real slow and hesitates because of the richness.

Yeah the Profec is not an easy thing to figure out -- one of the most confusing is that you don't set the boost level (eventhough it allows you to set boost level for hi and lo -- which makes it even more confusing and apparently does nothing) -- you set the duty cycle which in turn controlls the boost.

Mazda Maniac. I'm Just Wondering Why You Haven't Replied To The Private Message I Sent. For Those Of You Out There Reading This. I Was Wondering If Anyone Has A Bunch Of Different Maps For The Emanage. I Already Have Two Different Ones That Greddy Sent Me, But Was Hoping If Any Of You Made Better Ones?

I haven't seen Jeff post any MAPs since this one (it is very hard to find so I will post it for you again).

Thanks RXHusker. I believe I have already seen that one, but when you look at the graph it looks identical to one of the Base Maps Greddy sent me. Maybe Greddy used Jeff's.

I haven't posted any new MAPS lately, but I did just noticed that Greddy is now distributing my last MAP that I made public.
Very interesting.

Sort of.
You set the "Set Boost" parameter to a percentage over the mechanically fixed opening point of the WG actuator, then you set the "Start" parameter to 2.8 PSI short of your target boost.
Then, you adjust the duty cycle to control how tighly the boost is held without over-shooting.

Sorry, I've been out on work quite a bit the last two weeks. I will be gone on and off again for the next two weeks as well.

Here is my last MAP again, for those that want an intellectual excersise - it is the same as the current Greddy MAP, only with ignition timing (the turbo kit is not wired for this, so they deleted it), no "VTEC" because I don't use the open-loop fooler module and shift-surge fueling suppression (I don't know why they deleted this - it works).

does that mean that they are using your tune in their new "upgaded" maps or just giving out the info in your map. (i suppose they dont give stuff like that away,,,i think i answered my own question!)

Jeff -- give us your latest and greatest :D PLEASE :o

Can you copyright those and send the bill to GReddy

Seriously we all appreciate the time and certainly the expertise you have shared on the forum.


EDIT: You posted the MAP while I was typing -- thanks! I assume I should unplug the little black box to run this MAP

Very interesting.

One thing is sharing your maps with people to use on their own cars and another is Greddy using it to get profits out of it... I'd give them a call

Oh, I can see that call.

Me: Hey! I just noticed you are shipping your RX-8 turbo kits with my fueling MAPS.
Benny: No we're not.
Me: Yes you are. I spent hours on the phone and in the field with you and your customers and now I see your add injection and sub injection MAPS are a direct, cell-for-cell copy of my last "published" MAP.
Benny: No its not.
Me: Yes it is.
Benny: Even so, what do you want Me to do about it?
Me: Compensate Me for my work in fixing your companies problems.
Benny: Why?
Me: Because! It is the right thing to do.
Benny: We don't have any sort of contract with you. Too bad.

That just sounds like a greedy A$$4013. If I consider to turbo that kind of attitude makes me want to look elsewhere. SSR is looking better every day.

However, the Greddy kit is very well built and far more bang-for-the-buck and you can get one now.

Benny is a tech. rep. from GReddy. Many people complain that GReddy has horrible customer relations but that is because they don't do customer relations. Instead, they prefer to service their dealers and let the dealer network worry about the end-user. If I were in their position I might do the same. If you take a look around this very forum you will often find people in a little over their heads when it comes to their mechanical abilities conflicting with their desires. In other words, they sometimes don't realize that they don't have the education necessary to perform certain mods like, say, a suspension spring swap. When they end up with a driveway full of parts and no idea how they go back together they then come on the RX8Club and ask for emergency help. How would you like to deal with these situations all day long? I feel dumb, myself, because I am not quite up-to-speed on the E-Manage deal and I sorta feel bad for asking MM's help but the prospect of getting that elusive 20 h.p. and the ability to reach higher levels of nitrous boost seem to assuage any feelings of inadequecy I may have.

Settle down folks, i'm pretty sure Jeff said " Oh, I can see that call." Meaning he didn't actually get that response.

That's why GReddy prefers to service the dealer newtork and not every person out there who is over their head in the mod game.

Do you mean the warning lights won't go off?

If so -- try disconnecting the battery (pump the brake a few times to clear) and then you will need to restart twice and the lights should come off.

The steering angle sensors need to be reset. With the car on, turn the wheel all of the way to the left and then all of the way to the right. The next time you start the car the lights will go out.

Sorry Jeff, I didn't mean to open up a can of worms! The only reason I decided to look at each individual cell was because, When I was taking the three different Fuel Maps for a test drive, Two of them felt exactly the same(Yours and what greddy gave me). At first I just thought that I had named the MAPS incorrectly when saving to my PC. But when i opened it up, I was just confused. Oh well I thought, and left my emanage with Greddy's just to be on the safe side, but now I know who really made it.

Any way, I find this map to be better on fuel, but it also feels like it has less torque under WOT on second gear. However, with this map I can Keep up with My brother's modded 2004. SRT-4 which might I add is FAST! I could totaly take him on first, But on second he catches up. On a guestimated quarter mile length he'll beat me by about a car length.

Oh just FYI!!! With the Greddy Turbo kit, we can take any stock SRT-4. My best friend has one as well and he just can't catch up =) ( he is boosting 14 pounds )

I haven't tried the map you recently posted, but I hope it does me good. Thanks Again Jeff.

Take my word for it, once you get that turbo kit running tip-top you'll have no trouble keeping up with stock STi's, Evo8's, 2005 Mustang's, Camaro's, GTO's, and the list goes on. With other mods like the light flywheel and whatever else you can afford a mere 6-7 psi will have you in the 12's. All this car needs is a little traction and we will rule the streets. The other night a stock STi ended up a car length ahead of me and I wasn't using the nitrous.
