thanks for that.

Yeah that is what I wanted - stock overlayed on this would be cool.

Thanks rotor for the mad excel skills.

Meh... remember NA motor doesn't benifit much from 13.5 to 12.5... you get a pretty big sweet spot.

Plus the AFR's are actually delayed - so you can't take it too literal when looking at the transition areas.

could be too that i let off on the throttle slightly there by mistake. i was doing some second gear pulls a minute ago just watching the afrs in live mode, and i didn't see any 13s. so, i dunno. i'll ned to do some more logs to confirm.

But i guess just for aesthetics, i'd like to see them level out a bit more. though given what kane says, i don't think it matters too much.

overall, the car pulls harder and smoother, and there's more power available to me when I want it. i really can't imagine another NA mod that would come close to the difference realized here.

This looks promising for sure. What did you do to the timing map?

we made it better. lol.

kane will have to fill in the details. he did this while i was "testing map 2" (i.e., doing donuts with hellhammer).

can i just post the maps? not sure how i would do that on here, but if kane doesn't object, i'll give it a go.

also and otherwise, i'll take some logs tomorrow with a column for the timing (if it logs that .. does it?) -- i just selected the ones i understand. i'll need a longer lesson to know how to tune the timing.

Nothing really crazy since we didn't have enough time to get the old Pyrometer readings nor a dyno. Typically the only thing I really do in those cases is push the timing by 1-3 degrees after the torque peak where Mazda saw fit to just flat line them.

Yeah man - so some Print Screens and post away... (Control)(Print Screen) then open like Powerpoint and Paste it (Control)(V) - then when you save the Powerpoint save it as a jpeg or gif.

As to really tuning timing - you need to really get comfortable with your cat temp sensor or get a pyrometer - AND OR get it on a dyno.... the old tune till it pings and back off method isn't really smart.

is there any interest in me posting the maps? looks like it may be a bit of a PITA.

but if there's any interest at all, I'll post them. lmk

For us to properly PWN the competition at the track, all of us RX8 owners need the best maps.

best i can do. no powerpoint.

any requests?

Why not put it in a .zip format.
Attachment rules allow 100KB zip files

I thought you just wanted to upload the map and logs... or was I mistaken?
Figured you could just keep them in their native file format and combine them into one zip file.

forum is slow

go here to get the zip

you'll need open office to see it. it'll be worth the download.

click the "sheets" at the bottom.
