I've had a Cobb AP for a couple of months now and I've watched Kane's videos. I want to know if their is a shop in the Midwest that knows what they are doing when I comes to tuning RX-8s on the dyno.

Thanks,

Brian

 

Mike Piecko @ Red Mist Automotive in Gilberts, IL

Awesome tuner, and great guy. Very affordable and he won't BS you!

 

I hit up redmist automotive on Facebook. i have a turbo 8 and looking to get it dyno tuned. He told me that COBB no longer supports the RX8. He also said he was going to call COBB since V2 with rx8 is no longer listed and let me know this morning. That was what he told me yesterday.

 

Mazda Maniac is the only authorized rx8 Cobb dealer. You have to buy it through him. After that, you can get access tuner race through Cobb. Or your tuner can do that.

 

I'll talk to Mike (Red Mist) today regarding this. He is a good friend and I'm sure he'll manage to work something out. Best tuner around, and only person I trust to tune my Honda Challenge race car.

 

I already have the Cobb I got used and unmarried. I have been working with Mazda Maniac for the past 4 months. He is only available 2 hours every other week. I am still not dialed in and would rather have it on a dyno to be tuned. Right now I have a rear main seal leak that I have to repair then will get back with Mike at Red mist to get it dynoed

 

I need to get my 8 tuned as well, I got a new engine ~12k ago and I just feel it's not putting out as much power as the other 8's at AutoX.

 

There is a tuning session for rotaries this weeked May 7 and 8th I believe at Deans performance. There is a guy named Steve Kan that will be doing tunes.




My tuner (Steve Kan) is coming up to tune some rotary vehicles. We do have tuning slots open still if anyone is interested (see list of ECUs below) and also wanted to open it up for some BBQ food and 3 pull dyno runs. If interested, PM me or drop a note in this thread. The tuning and bbq will be at Deans Performance in St Charles. Even if you just want to stop by to eat let me know so we can plan food appropriately. Dates are tentatively set for May 7th for bbq but May 6-8th for tuning services.
