Yes! This time I got it.
It went out before I could put a custom message in it. It just says "Received."
I'll get right on it.

 

another reason to get your ap/ and or your custom calibration service!!!!!!!

 

ABSOLUTELY! ANYONE who signs up for ANY other tuning service from some unknown / mystery tuner (a la Fluid Motorsports) is a complete retard anf frankly...is just throwing away their money.

 

Can anyone explain exactly what this 'tuning' does?? Serious question, no flames please... I'm really thinking about getting one from MM.

 

In short:

Mazda left some power on the table and did some things in the factory tuning that are less than optimal for a variety of reasons, including EPA/CAFE mandates, the possibility of an owner being a bonehead and using crap gas, etc.

The recalibration I offer tunes each individual car in a way that wouldn't have been possible for Mazda to do and add in customizations like turning off the CEL for people that take out their CAT, cranking up the oil metering, raising the idle and REV limit, etc.

How was that for a nice answer? lol

 

Great! Thanks for the answer, I went to your website and watched the video...seems pretty easy to install, provided you turn on the car.

I'm gonna pm you in a second..

 

LULZ.

Yes, turning the key to "ON" is very important!
You are already pages ahead of many of your brethren. Carry on!

 

HEY BRO YOUR FROM LEANDER?? i live in austin but im in chicago right now.. ill be back next month if u havent pulled the plug on the AP from MM ill let you drive mine around the block.. mid range is muuuuuch improved.. so much that i feel sorry for anyone driving a stock tuned rx8 =[

MM you ever think about doing another Dyno tuning day in chicago?

 

Organize it and I will come out!

 

cause i purchased paulsomers turbo kit.. and another buddy of mine wants his turbo kit installed and both of us tuned by you.. and there might be a 3 rd car in there as well.. but they are in austin texas!!! and i dont know if u have any state preferences =D but i ill be in contact with you

 

Jeff's a sucker for dyno days, trust me... I know.
Just don't make him dyno 20 RX-8's in one day and you'll be alright.

 

Lol. I can take it! Bring it ON!

 

Yep, by way of Austin. That's cool man...let me know when you get back in town. I want to def check it out. I'm a kiss away from pulling the trigger on this..(gotta get the wifey's approval...yep, that's how you stay married for nearly 20 years)

 

fixed

 

MM: This is probably a ridicilous question (that's how it goes when I don't know how things work :D) but would you see any differences due to gas quality on the maps/logs if someone got crappy gas? And is there a difference from the Europe guys to the US cars in that way? We've got 95 and 98 RON but I'm presuming it's pretty much samey same as your 91/93, and I fill 95.

 

Bad gas will have more effect on your mileage that power, provided it isn't detonating.
Your 95 is like our 89, but probably has less ethanol in it.

 

Heard someone said there was no point filling 98 so I've never done that (that might have been one of those unweighted statements by someone though), but could try for mileage reasons and calculate the difference.

 

Well, if the grade you are using now doesn't detonate, produces adequate economy and is what you are using when you send me your logs, then I'd say to stick with it.

 

I -never- had a problem with the MM tuning process. I got a total of 4 performance calibrations before my car was totaled. And that was in the span of 1 1/2 months, I usually waited 2 weeks to send logs.

Just be EXACT with the e-mails and logs you send and you should be good!

I test drove an RX8 today and I have to say I ABSOLUTELY FELT the difference between my car and that stock 8. This was a "new" car with less than 200 miles on it so compression was fine. Between the AP tuning and my midpipe (mazsport) I really felt something.

Thanks Jeff.. i'm in my old beater mx3 now.. but when you support the 09s.. and i'm down that road.. we shall meet again.

 

Im an uber n00b when it comes to ECU tuning, but what is logs? Can't process this, had a really tough and frustrating week...

 

Jeff,

I got my Revision 1. Thank you! When do you want me to do logs for it?

 

Logs are made via the AccessPort when it's connected to the ECU. It contains all the information Jeff needs to increase power and torque by way of editing numerical values.

If you own the AP and are working with Jeff and made a log you would be able to see what it looks like in Excel as it is an Excel file once loaded onto a computer. Then you might understand the way it works better

 

Dammit, I just ordered one....

 

Oh ok, thanks for the help.

 

MM: i know i pmd u like a few mins back about my Apexi SAFC and if it will work alongside the AP but i have another! LoL.. i know that Cobb Tuning says on there website NOT to use the stage one map that comes with the accessport if ur running catless or with a midpipe cause it could cause the rx8 to lean out to dangerous levels...so how exactly would this work cos im buying alz0rz's accessport and would obviously have to run the stage one map until i get a custom tuning from you... is it safe?
