Wheres the dyno to show for it.

 

 

._. I may be no master tuner but when I see graphs like that show a dip in power like that for two stroke engines the culprit is a dump in fuel right when the torque band is dying and heading into the power band.

 

Or its a PNG generated in mspaint using the pencil tool...

 

Hence the face I made before my post. You can take things seriously or post proof instead of stupidity. Or do you only know info about the 4 speed.

It's not ShellDude's prerogative to laydown the hammer.

 

guess that's a warning ... in all seriousness, there are plenty of real dyno sheets out there, just take the time to search.

 

That's a better way to respond.

 

I'll continue to read on for more info. If I'm lost ill post.

 

Clearly you're not. When I see posts like this it's clear to me that the person making this comment has no real experience tuning a Renesis. Because if you did you'd be aware that there are a handful of reasons for this to occur, but without data logs and some experimentation you can't otherwise make such a statement with any certainty.

Yeah no **** guy I clearly said that I'm not familiar with this engine since you know...90% of the cars are driven by piston engines.

I clearly stated two stroke engine would dip like this with to much fuel. But I don't expect you to know this cause clearly when I read your amazing with rotary engines. So here's a helpful link for you.

I have a question.. I have been using the MM calibration on my 05 automatic rx8 for few years.. Now i need an engine. One guy on this site said that MazdaManiac is gone "and for a reason" is how he put it.

I also see that COBB's website no longer supports the RX8 as one of their cars. Is there something that MazdaManiac did that made them no longer support the RX8? I am just wondering if his calibration had something to do with my engine going bad? I baby the car, never runs low on oil. Let it warm up and change coils, plugs, wires and filters often.

Any help here?

 

Politics and poor communication skills got Jeff booted from here. He failed to deliver a 3+ old turbo, or two, overseas.

Cobb killed the AP for us all on their own. Jeff negotiated exclusive rights and continues to hold those rights. So in s way Jeff is responsible for still being an option for us.

His tune likely had zero impact on the death of your engine.

Visit his website and sign up for his calibration service if you desire to utilize the AP on your new setup. I do not recommend using the old map as every rotary is a little different.

 

Thanks!

I am using the 4_0_1 calibration he sent me, along with a new AP since my first one died one me. I am not looking to get the car to run fast, only to run cooler since the factory settings seem to keep the car running so hot. You still think I need to get a new calibration since I have had it updated back in 09' or 2010? Or do you mean since I am getting a new engine I need the service all over again?

 

It all depends on what Jeff tweaked. If he adjusted your AFRs based on remote tuning runs then that data likely won't line up any longer as every rotary runs a little different fueling wise.

If the only changes he made are "static" ones such as fan starting points and OMP flow rate then you're correct in assuming you shouldn't need a new "tune" as nothing requiring a tune was changed.

 

You got his tuning service, but only went through with one tune?

 

Yes, my goal was to just get my cooling fans to turn on sooner. Since I have the auto trans, I did not want to stress the transmission in a manner he stated I needed too in order to "tweak" another tune. His instructions were to put it in manual mode and get it near redline and to do this a couple times in order to get some data logs.

Since I will only get limited performance out of an automatic rotary, I figured why bother trying to make it go a hair faster when all I wanted was the fans to turn on sooner so I wouldn't have any problems in hot weather. Mazda has these fans turning on way too late if you ask me. Heat has killed many of these cars, and the disposal of belt driven fans has caused more problenms than it has fixed.

 

hey guys, bought an AP from MM and it isn't compatible with my 8 which is a 2006 japanese 4 speed a/t. Jeff said to send him the dump file and he would get back to me with a fix. This has been over a year he hasn't gotten back to me. I need help please sigh

 

Doesn't he still tune over google chat or whatever?
You should try talking to him over that.

 

if you are going to do basic tune you do know you can get a race cobb ap for free then you can go in and change a few things yourself like rev limit omp flow at certian rpms and turning fans on sooner etc once you download the ap and look it over anyone can do simple changes.i would not mess with to much but i did it myself and we run our automatic racecar to 9k with no issues we added a bit more fuel from 8-9k

and if you dont think a 4-port auto can go to 8-9k your wrong we did it at vir for 24hrs with no faliure to trans or motor

 

Wait, what.

You can get a free Cobb AP somehow?

Are you sure you're not just confusing the free personal software Access Tuner Race that is used in concert with the Cobb AP which to my knowledge isn't free and can only be purchased new via MazdaManiac?

 

 

go to cobb website and download the free race app then you can tweek small stuff yourself.you have to fill out some form then they send it to you via email and its free

 

OK...to be clear...Access Tuner Race...the software is free from Cobb

To use it you need an actual Accessport Unit that is not free

That is all ;-)
