What's the best Piggy Back system?
 
]What's the best Piggy Back system for the RX8?I'm not going to do any FI so I would think a piggy back would suffice with the regular run-of-the-mill bolt on mods.

If you are interetsed in the Greddy Emanage, i'll have mine up for sale in the parts section very soon.

nace0088 04-02-2006 12:28 AM

I want more options to chose from and some explanations as to which one is better.

BigOLundh 04-02-2006 12:38 AM

im sure people will start to chime in soon. this should get interesting.

To help decide whats most valualbe... how much are you willing to spend?
IMO, You really don't want to spend too much on a piggy back if your total gains as N/A aren't going to be so high.

This is true.I don't want to spend 900.00 for the likes of the Turbo XS UTEC.It's probably a great system but I would like to get a lot more bang for my buck.If there is something good enough out there with a smaller price tag I'm all over it.

nace0088 04-02-2006 12:47 AM

I stand corrected the Turbo XS Utec is a stand alone.I guess the price of that system is justified.

nace0088 04-02-2006 12:58 AM

Aye BigOlundh what more will you get from the Greddy Ultimate over the standard Emanage?

dannobre 04-02-2006 01:08 AM

I don't think the Ultimate works on the RX-8 yet. Greddy released it with a lot of unsolved application errors................

nace0088 04-02-2006 01:20 AM

Dannobre I need something to tune my 8.I get a lot of pop pops and I've read in someone else's thread that they had it tuned and that went away.I need a piggy back system pop pop fizz fizz needs some relief.

nace0088 04-02-2006 01:30 AM

I hope people will chime in later on because I really want a piggy back for my car.

swoope 04-02-2006 01:32 AM

you might want to search for a while... two piggy back systems exhist...

one works very well. the other requires lots and lots of effort..

the turbo xs is not a stand alone and is not available...

read around a bit.

pm me if you need some help.

The E-manage/Canzoomer works if you tune it for your car. If you are careful you can get it to work without triggering LTFT that will "learn" out your adjustments.

You could get an InterceptorX...basically allows you to tune as a standalone, works well......but it's pricey

Few others....soon there should be a "ECU flash" that can tune...but we are still waiting :(

nace0088 04-02-2006 01:35 AM

Okay.Which one works well and we take it from there.

dannobre 04-02-2006 01:37 AM

This is a good time for some research on your part...look up both of the above and decide what you want

nace0088 04-02-2006 01:38 AM

Dannobre I don't want to pay the price of the InterceptorX. I want a Piggy Back with a Piggy Back price.

nace0088 04-02-2006 01:39 AM

Yes, I will but I'm looking for more input from more knowledgeable people out there in the RX8 land.Then I will make my choice.

dannobre 04-02-2006 01:40 AM

Well then..you kinda narrowed it down to one choice :D: Pick up a used CZ unit and a CanScan to measure the A/F and get tuning :) There is lots of info on here about the E-manage ( CZ) and you can get help once you are started

Good Luck

nace0088 04-02-2006 01:43 AM

Thanks for the info and suggestions.

then you have two choices emanage and used canzoomer....

and you better do lots of research before you get either...

read, learn. think. buy..

just my opioin i could be wrong.

nace0088 04-02-2006 01:51 AM

Swoope u never specified your picks or recomendations.

swoope 04-02-2006 01:59 AM

if you have a little knowlege of tuning your only choice is the intercepter.... it works right out of the box..... and you can learn..

the other options you can put in and learn, and blow the motor, or blow the coils or mess everything up.... it may or may not work, depends on how much work you are willing to put into it....

sounds like you want a cheap quick no brainer fix....

it does not exist... you pay your money and learn how to learn or you save money and hope to learn...

research is the base....

you have just asked a ?? and dont know anything about what is avaible..

take a couple of days and read, what is your hurry... most of the stuff you cannot buy yet.. if ever.

hope this helps.

Used Canzoomer, have a mechanic tune it. Easiest solution in your price range. Get the later version, the one with the coil fix.

florent75 04-02-2006 03:47 AM

how can you now the canzomer have got the coil fix ???

I've got the 1.1 version (it's good)

thanks

yiksing 04-02-2006 07:02 AM

How about the Apexi Power FC???

willsrx 04-02-2006 08:50 AM

Why a used one can't you get a new canzoomer?
