The idea and application is pretty universal. All this device does is sample your combustion efficiency X by measuring your exhaust 02 sensor times per second, and modify fuel input based on the last sample. The idea could work on any car at anytime. The really only difference between cars is the computer language (code), and any increase in efficiency the device can add, (none of that is a hardware change). Do your own research before spouting pls.
Seriously I need one of these for my 2013 RX-8, its an 8 port is this commutable

Btw, I have a BS in ME, working on a ME in IE, i rebuild cars, and do all my own maintenance and mods on the 5 vehicles I own. What are your credentials? SO please, don't assume everyone on here is an un-informed user.

And congrats on your ability to do your own maintenance and can wield a wrench with grace ... slapping on bolt-ons is a great and easy way to get familiar with cars.

Lol i need not spoon feed you my credentials no matter how much they surpass yours. If your curiosity gets the best of you, my credentials can easily be found. In the meantime, relax, take a deep breath, and remind yourself that everything on the internet should be taken with a grain of salt.

I'm actually considering getting one from this site. I do believe that it can save me 1-2 mpg (my car runs pretty rich, and I'm hoping that this will lean it out). I already have the most recent ECM flash and that didn't help. Since I use this car mostly to commute I'm not interested in any (if at all) hp gains. If it can save me 1-2 mpg it will more than double pay for itself over just one year.

Don't know what you are laughing about. You're going to have to rebuild for your seals too, just a matter of when. Why would I need to reman if I'm only modifying my gas input. I'm pretty sure you don't even know what you are talking about.

And dropped what? 8 or 9k to do it. Oh tell me about your money savings woes.

I am thinking of buying a stage 2 chip made by smarttune for a 2006 rx-8. This is the chip. They are saying 20-40hp boost but in hesitant to believe. Has anyone had experience with these chips or any chips on their rx-8? I want to gain hp but not ready for a turbo.
