order one.

or just see if they ever got it running.. if so what ecu did they use?

bitter about this.

as i said. so far the pettit kit is what you can buy.

Then no, there are NO FI kits available. It is impossible to produce a tune with a flash device that is universally effective on all of our cars.

You can make one, but it will be equally sucky.

 

As far as I know the SFR, PTP and the procharger are available. If for some reason you know they are not then post up the info.

I disagree tuning is part of a kit. It would be nice if everyone offered a tuned solution for the 8 but that is just not happening.

 

The RX8 is now a defunct car.

 

Scott---one thing I meant was FI IS an option now, i remember the days when it wasnt.
Guess it needed better clarification---sorry about that.

Disagree that a flash universal tune cant be made to work. It may not be as fine edged as it could be but it can be made for really good output and good DD. i would suspect since i am not an expert is this area at all--that a system with the same boost parameters would have a better overall response from a universal flash than others? Would that not be a easier thing for a SC system versus a turbo system?
S.C cars are getting over 300hp and 200 TQ with a 10lb boost and a much lower redline than 9K. Just for clarification I dont know of a SC 6 port car that is getting a 13lb boost?
Thats were a turbo would really shine--if you wanted a higher level of boost--it can bring it home. too my limited knowledge the power curve from a turbo can be much more adjustable than from a sc?
Sorry for the thread jack here.

I talked to Dave (owner of Mazdatrix) the other week and he said he only sold one kit. He's trying to respark iinterest by sportin his kit on his Time Attack car but as far as kits ready to go he doesnt have any put together,,,

 

Dave Lemmon runs the system in the MazdaTrix TA car.
Motec or Haltec.

It is available for sale.

 

There is a guy on 8web (lives overseas) running a procharger kit. He knew someone that had the ability to tune the OE PCM. Not sure it if is a blitz kit or not.

 

I'm aiming to get my car to Danny later this week for installation of the Hymee kit over the next fortnight. It's real alright.

Spoke to him today. Some minor tuning issues to be sorted still but car drives well and there have been zero mechanical issues thus far. As for the bloke who "just" wanted the stock curve pushed up, I understand 40% is what it feels like atm. Very grunty was the shorthand description .

Obviously more development and 'stage 2 pulley' add-ons, etc now that customer cars are coming on line will see improvements.

I'm excited. I'm also not talking, I'm doing.

Beers to my yank mates.

 

 

Parts are starting to ship via postal.

Should be fully shipped by Monday.

 

from what i have seen.

the pettit is doable.

they flash and it works. i know more than two people that have done it..

beers

 

kit came with a powermod for the ecu.. i have a huge amount of respect for rick shaw..

beers

 

Much like the OE tune is "doable".

 

my point is made.

the not done ecu solution. **** that procharger system sat at titain motorsports since 04. was supposed to go on my car.. blah, blah, blah.. no ecu no run..

maztrix has done what with it?

jeff, you are kinda the answer, but..

so i guess my point is that the pettit is the only sytem that can / could be bought that works..

so i missed my observation of fi systems how?.

btw, for those that want to just **** me away.. i have a rx8. sitting in my garage. it has not moved since i drove home from roebling road.. why. have a mazdaspeed3, 2010.

beers

 

it works with a system..

the system sells.. not perfect, but they pay the bills..

mirror / face.

you should be so smart. been away for a while.. am a bit pissed off at the rx8 **** right now and i got to you first..

you have my pm/ email and i think you have my phone #.

btw,, wtf is hymee??? is that not the point of this thread?

have known him for years.. have sent a pm/ email and looked for support on his site for an issue i have with the scanalizer.. nothing.



beers

 

I'm with Swoope. The Pettit kit is very "do-able" (provided you remove the dust covers from the intake runners when you install it : ). Pettit has a very capable tuner and a quick method to flash the ECU and log data for map alterations. I'm on my second blower, the first having been taken from me by the cheap fuel line quick-disconnect, and if Hymee's kit works as well, there are going to be some very, very happy supercharger owners.

BTW, when all the new S/C owners install their kits, take my word for it and zip tie the fuel line where it attaches to the fuel rail. DO NOT trust that quick connector, even if you've never taken it off.

 

This ^

 

I'm in the same boat as you swoope.
Email ignored
PM ignored.


I'm hoping Hymee comes out from hiding soon so I can get my scanalyzer working again.

 

He will be more active once the S/C's ship.

Seriously, he's working triple time to get everything out. I think they should be gone by now, but logistics is never SIMPLE for 10 items with a value over 10K AUD..

 

We have one racecar in sweden with more boost and a supercharger, he is on this forum but not that often anymore.

 

I talked to him yesterday..

Whats your problem with scanalyzer?

My Scanalayzer live gauges hangs after ~10minutes of use =(

 

I bought the USB live version about a year ago, he sent me an email with download insturctions for the software but the links are no longer active.
Basically, I have the hardware but no software.

 

Huu? sounds strange... I reinstalled my laptop yesterday and installed the software without problems...

I guess you have the CD-ROM included with the hardware?

Feel free to PM me if you want the links I used.

 

the CD is for the older serial port scanalyzer (which I have as well)
I upgraded to the USB Live with ProTuner and the software was downloadable off Hymee's site.

I appreciate the help AZ.
if you have those links, I'd greatly appreciate it.
