We released an update today. It has some new S1 RX-8 tables.

Idle Leading Timing
Idle Trailing Timing
Secondary Shutter Valve (SSV)

Thanks,
Steve

 

Is the sudden loss of power (turn off) fixed? Im new to this tuning stuff and need a software to do things. But before I buy it I must know if your VersaTuner works corectly othervise I'll try the MazdaEdit.

 

The issue only affects a few calibrations. All calibrations that have been reported to have the issue have been fixed. If a new one is found to have the issue, it can be fixed in a day or two.

 

What do you mean by SSV map ? Could you provide screenshots of the basemap ?

 

SSV RPM vs Coolant Temp

 

I am definitely buying versatuner. It seems to be the best and is always being reworked and fixed. Thank you Steve 👍. (now I just gotta save some money to purchase it).

 

Black Friday Sales event coming soon I hope.......

 

This map was already known, and it is kind of pointless since the SSV doesn't open at any of those RPM in regular driving. Now what I assume that map does is change the SSV rpm to 3000 if you somehow rev/load hard on a freezing cold engine. To make this map useful the temperatures would have to be changed to 60-80C...

 

Luckily you can edit axes with VersaTuner.

 

That map can control SSV opening rpm but it obviously isn't the one that normally does so .Normally ssv will open on an rpm vs load basis (controlled by a map that we can't see) . If you set the above map to over 3700ish, that is when ssv will open.

 

Steve im new to the rx8 world and need a tune will there be a sale for black friday?

 

I have pretty significant tuning experience with Tuner Studio on Megasquirt, but I'm just figuring out Versatuner. I really wish it had more specific tool tips like this. I actually came to this thread from google, trying to figure out how this map worked, and why it looks so backward.

 

Yeah ...lot of experimenting to find that out .
