Im pretty new to rx8 tuning and not an expert on the accessport but i just had a simple yes or no question for you guys. i know the accessport uploads a new map for onto the ECU and changes fuel injection, rev limiter...., and the whole nine.

My question: is the accessport itself, the hand held device which uploads the maps, by any chance compatible with different vehicles by just uploading the vehicle specfic map? ....its a long shot by my buddys got an accessport for his WRX and that would be fantastic on my bank account if i could upload the RX8 map using his handheld

 

I seriously doubt it would work, but I do know that it marries itself to the vehicle. You couldn't just have the map flashed onto your car and then give it back to your friend and expect it to work on his too. It can only be installed on 1 vehicle at a time.

 

They are not compatible.

 

no.....

 

yeah thats what i figured, it could only link up with one car per module, thanks guys

id just have to start saving parts of my paycheck

i know its prob on another thread by any thoughts on spending the 700 for 5.5% hp? of course it also opens up many other tuning options for your car

 

lots more than that... first off, order from mazdamaniac. He'll offer you custom tunes fit specifically for your car. Also, it lets you change fan settings and such to help keep the car running cooler, therefore healthier. You can also monitor lots of information in real time and check/clear check engine lights etc... Another great thing is that it's a mod that will work with your car for most situations... so if you add and intake or exhaust or something, you can tune again for that set up and get the most potential.

I have no doubt that I will buy one before the end of this year... not sure when I'll have the money saved (getting rims and going to need new tires...) but I know I'm going to find it worth the money. Hope this helps

 

totally work it, above mentioned along with more injections of oil into enngine, which just became a local recall, if u ever go turbo it still works, if u ever pull a cel, it can give u the code, everytime u go to check a code at dealer its 100+ if ur not under warranty, just to check a damn code. SO totally worth it, expensive at first, but in my books, the best bang for buck mods are the ignition, the cobb, and the midpipe. And if you do go catless, expect better mileage with the coupling of the cobb

 

yeah, it seems like its a good investment

thanks for your help guys i need to go read up on it now
