XEDE beta tester needed in SF Bay area
Hi guys,
We would like to release our XEDE system for the RX-8. But we need a local beta tester to try it out and provide us with feedback. For those who don't know, the XEDE is a plug-in interceptor-type programmable engine managment computer. It has sucessfully been used in well over a thousand EVO and Subaru applications. It is capable of controlling fuel (both closed and open-loop fueling), spark timing, boost (if applicable), aux outputs, water sprays, etc,. with respect to RPM, MAF, TPS, Knock signal, wideband AFR, etc,. Unlike other piggybacks, it is also capable of generating its own absolute outputs (like a stand alone) while still referencing off of whatever factory sensors you want to use/keep. In other words, it takes the best of both worlds without sacrificing drivability or power output. For more info on the XEDE, feel free to check out http://www.vishnutuning.com/xede_support_evo.htm.
What we are looking for is an RX8 that is either stock or mildly modified. No turbo'd cars just yet please. That is the next step. In exchange for a couple of days of testing your car, the owner will get a nice dinner at Hooters, free dyno tuning and a discount off the price of the XEDE. If it doesn't make any worthwhile power gains, we'll take it back at no charge and immediately drive to Hooters for us drown our collective sorrows in hot wings and beer.
Please PM me if you are interested and live in the SF bay area.
Cheers,
Shiv

So does this mean you'll start working on RX-8s? I've called your shop a couple times over the past few weeks asking about the possibility of doing a custom intake or dyno time and the answer I kept getting was "we don't really work on RX-8s".

what if you guys screw up? i dont mean to impune your ability but mistakes happen. if the car overheats on the dyno while you guys are doing this tuning and you cook a rotor you cant just say "oops sorry".

This is great. I love teh competition. My brother has this system on his Evo and loves it. Shiv, will the pricing be similar to the Evo model's? Either way this is great for anyone in the market for programmables. Both companies seem to be pretty reputable which is great. Can't wait for some price wars :p

Shiv, something to keep in mind is the gas tank recall and potential overheating issues regarding high revs on a stationary car. You'll need an extra blower (or two) pointed under the car cooling the cat, transmission and gas tank.

Just curious, besides the Emanage, what other ECU systems (standalone or piggyback) do RX8 owners use?

MazSport.net offers a custom MicroTech unit they call the Inteceptor-X. There's also the HKS pro system whose name eludes me.

Hi guys,
It looks like we got quite a bit of interest. That said, it looks like we already have a car lined up for fitting and tuning. I'll update the forum with results next week. Thanks to everyone who PM'd me, offering to help. I'll definately keep in touch with you guys when we have something else to test later in the process
Cheers,
Shiv

Once you're ready to try tuning a more modified RX-8 please keep me in mind.

Great to hear from you guys. As someone else said, you guys do awesome work with EVO's. Can't wait to see what you guys can offer us.
