I got the new flash today and promply put 150 miles on it including a blast up and down South Mountain at or near 8k RPM in an out for 5 miles in each direction in 108°F heat.
It is compatible with both E-Manages and does improve the idle with and without A/C.
It also drastically changes the staging of the secondary injectors.

 

doesnt it??? i thought it was just me...

J2354... Would the cable that came with the sCANalyzer i stole from my rx-8 buddy be sufficient?

If yes, then i might just pay for the subscription on that site. Are the european and US flashes different? Cause that CarDAQ thing is too costly man.. a grand just to reflash???

And does that site have the latest flash?

Thanks mate... It hasnt been easy.. MM has given me loads of help.....

 

not that easy... hymee has a good product and i think it will get better....

right now you cannot do what you want to do....

you are way ahead of the curve...

Will this product be sufficient? If yes, it doesnt seem too costly, i could offer other rx-8's reflashes... yes/no?

 

See my try..

DrewTech states it can flash PCM's, but I have read it doesn't have the h/w build-in to set the PCM programming voltages. So I don't know for sure.
Email DrewTech and tell us their response.

 

I tried searching but couldnt find anything. I know i must of missed it somewhere. My 2005 is constantly getting 13mpg and going through a qt of oil a week and the dealer keeps claiming its fully flashed. How can I tell which flash my ECU has programmed into it. I looked under the hood and on the door to see if there was a label somewhere...any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

KJ yes the mogoose from drewtech SHOULD be able to. thats the whole purpose of it.

contact Joey Oravec over there he'll be ableto answer any questions joravec@drewtech.com .

uclead- if you havent been flashed since before the first week of june you are on the previous flash. however this new one wont do anything for you r mpg

 

Actually, it might change your mileage, depending on how you drive.

The newest flash removes a good part of the old CAT protection strategy above 4k RPM.
Now, it will only start to run more rich at a significantly higher load in the same RPM range after the 5-second delay.
At a typical 4.5k cruise, it will no longer shoot for 12:1 after a moment.
YMMV.

 

So wait. There was a new flash, and there's another one coming out?

 

Now thinking about buying that mongoose... But its pretty steep... About $400 my money

Between switching the brakes on my car and buying an interceptor... i'm gonna be flat a while... Anyone nice enough to borrow me one? lol.... dont mind paying postage lol

 

anyone dynoed with the new flash yet? Just curious. probaly no change, but i do wonder if the power is at differant spots.
OD

 

no. it looked previously liek they only made anew flash for th e2004s but better understanding made it clear that they had done the 2005 flash as well.

 

I have read this entire post and did not see any reference to the S flash in relation to the interceptor which I have. Is the the new flash compatable with the interceptor ??????

Thanks
Dennis

 

Yes the new flash is compatable with the Interceptor-X.

 

damn dude you're '05 has problems bigtime.

 

Just Read SC's try with the mongoose... Apparantely it doesnt work...


So, what am i missing out on? after the O?

 

Why does it have problems?

 

search bluesky.

do the math...

beers

 

LoL yea i did that as soon as I saw his post for some credibility...that was answered quickly! My car is doing a lot better then his...everything that could go wrong with one car has went wrong with his and all in a week...he must have the worst luck ever.

 

So Swoope, MM, how is this new flash working out for you after having it for a while?

 

I've only had it for 3 days, but it does what it is supposed to do.
The idle is fixed and the transition into the secondaries is smoother and the fuel dump at part-throttle cruise above 4k RPM is gone. That is all I can ask for.

 

I have noticed that the transition at WOT in the upper rev range is more noticeable to me now. I always knew it was there, but now it just feels different, not quite like the VTEC kick you in your pants. I have not really noticed much change in anything else, but that and a smoother idle. But I am not monitoring everyhting that happens, with trick little computer systems and such.

 

Any word on when this will be an official recall/TSB? This is still nothing listed on Rosenthals site or the NHTSA site.

 

yuh,
same as mm but it did not fix my main problem... but premix does..
