Hymmes Gives Birth Pre -release info
Major New Product Announcements: Pre-release info
https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-major-horsepower-upgrades-93/major-new-product-announcements-pre-release-info-135829/
Hi all,
The time has come. Something I have been slowly working towards since I took delivery of my first RX-8 in mid 2003. And something you have all been waiting for (I hope!)
RX-8 Flash Tuner Software (PCM Calibrating)
My company, Performance Design Australia (the home of "Hymee Enhanced") expects to introduce a Software / Hardware PCM Calibration package into our sCANalyser line. The expected release timeframe is the first week of March, 2008. That gives me about 6 weeks
The likely name for the software package is "sCANalyser Pro Tuner". Or perhaps I should hold a naming competition like we did for the sCANalyser...
Nomenclature:
PCM = Powertrain Control Module. Otherwise known as the ECU.
It is planned that sCANalyser Pro Tuner will do the following:
Allow an experienced user / tuner to re-calibrate many of the operating parameters tucked away inside the very powerful RX-8 PCM.
Allow the recalibration to be done via the ODBII port under the dash. No need to remove the PCM, or even open the bonnet/hood for that matter. No need to piggy back another EMS (that has no idea of what the RX-8 PCM is doing!)
End user has the tools to re-flash ECU if it gets "overwritten" during service.
Allow for Factory PCM control of RX-8's fitted with forced induction (supercharged or turbocharged).
Allow the user to perform real-time tuning.
Some of the calibration maps/information that I am planning for sCANalyser Pro Tuner to be able to modify are:
Fuel (Injector) Mapping
Ignition Mapping
Idle Speed
Cooling fan on/off temps
MAF Scaling
Injector Sizing
Benefits of PCM tuning include not losing all the nice things the factory PCM gives you - i.e. Cruise control, DSC / Traction Control etc. And you don't have to worry about annoying CEL lights that can (and often do) plague piggyback/interceptor EMS solutions.
Why now? Well the answer to that should tie in with my other "sort of" product announcement, but it is hardly news...
Twin Screw Supercharger
As displayed at SSX late last year, I'm planning on having my S/C all up and running on my RX-8 for public consumption and for sale in the same timeframe as sCAnalyser Pro Tuner is released. It works in nicely, as my supercharged RX-8 engine will be controlled by the factory PCM with a recalibrated tune up courtesy of sCANalyser Pro Tuner.
And the best bit for S/C Purchasers - For a limited introductory offer, I will be offering Pro Tuner included in the S/C kit at no additional cost. That will immediately make what I believe to be the very best designed and engineered S/C kit great value for money.
More details to come. I've got lots of work to do...
Remember - You read it here first!
Cheers,
Hymee.
Details of expected product offerings and capabilities are what is planned at the time of writing.
