Ric Shaw Performance in Australia has now developed a fully adjustable piggyback ECU for the RX8, operating with a windows software package to retune the engine management. It also caters for turbo charged and super charged conversions.

 

HOW MUCH AND WHERE CAN I GET IT AND THE STATS OF HP INCREASE>????????

 

I'm listening.

 

the lack of info is really evil :o

 

I'm Listening also!! Price, Performance Gains? Vague comments thus far!!

 

Guys, Ric Shaw cannot discuss price and availability here unless he is a registered vendor on this site. Please PM him for that info.

 

BOOO...anyone have a link?

 

guys , working on dyno and G-tech data for the piggyback ecu. more to come.

 

Ric,

How soon are you willing to ship to the US? I really like the fact that it is adjustable via Windows. Also, is it a clip on unit or do you have to spice wires to install?

Thanks

 

RX8on19s, i can ship now. i am still tuning / testing on my car but i can send what i have tuned already for anyone to then test and adjust themselves from there. this sould be done by tuners with experience and equipment only.
i tested 0-100 kms/h times.
results: 3/4 full tankof fuel,80kg driver,DSC off,27 deg C temp on the day(hot).
1) 6.45
2) 6.50
3) 6.71
4) 6.85
1/4 mile not done yet. fuel economy not done yet.

 

RIC,

Times look good....I have my own wideband to help tune. How can we order?

 

more testing on ecu.
original bridgstone 225 tyers
23 c temp on dash
80 kg driver

1)6.06!!!!!! wow
2)6.56
3)6.93 axle tramp
4)6.86
will get some photos.

 

Ric,

Do you have any mods on you RX-8 or are these times with a stock RX-8?

 

Will this work on an A/T?? If so, sign me up!

 

ditto

 

RX8on19s , i have my piggyback ecu and an exhaust change.
ran a 6.20 and a 6.43 again today.

 

guys , with the auto cars it will still work but i havent done one and i need to ckeck if the ecu wiring is the same as 6 port engine. if the ecu is wired right it will allow tune changes of fuel and ignition but the 4 port my get better or worse results.this is a Q ??????

 

Will the piggyback ECU come stock w/ a reliable power adding base map or does it need tuning after installation?

 

Ric,

Based on the doc's I read on "http://www.mazdatechinfo.com/" the wring seems to be the same on both.

Regards,

 

Ric,

Does your tune also include timing advance?

Regards,

 

guys , the ecu has a map in it i have done and it will increase performance as the 0-100 km/h times show.it controls fuel and ignition.with optiomal 2 x aux and map sensor for turbos.

 

lets see some raw data, instead of a few numbers typed in... that might help convince some skeptics, like myself... just a suggestion!

 

Your saying that the times are better as we can see? 0 to 100 kph is 62 mph as you know. Your time of 6.43 is .5 off of what Mazda says is their 0 to 60 time. Canzoomer says times of 5.4 to 5.6 could be obtainable with his mod.

Thankx.

 

i will be testing back to back the Canzoomer unit and our unit tomorrow.
more to come.

 

RICK

Hymee and i conducted some tests on Maurices stage 1 kit today i will talk to you on friday and share the information with you .
