Int-X is on my bench.
I couldn't take its stupidity any more.

This is all with the EMU.

I'm still NA - have kept AFR's around 13 - 13.5 only because thats what people have recommended here .
For me the big gains were from timing changes . About 20whp .

Above 6800 RPM, I begine to diminish and negative split until there is none at 8200 RPM.
I taper to positive split (up to 20° around torque peak at all loading points) starting at -15 kPa.
Would you mind posting an excel spreadsheet of your ignition map? I have the Fcon Pro which can run negative split and have been experimenting with it only at idle. Would like to see your transition throughout vacuum.

My tuner told me that there is little gains to be had from advancing the timing(i guess cause the renesis already have a ton of it), the main gain came from running 13.8. Please advice if I have been wrong.

N/A, LBT is typically 13.2:1. MBT is around 12.8:1. RBT is about 12.2:1.
Take away one unit of air on a forced induction rotary.

My tuner says our gas (Here in NZ) is the problem & thats why we got a better result retarding the timing . I found that hard to believe but it worked .

I'll ask - what is LBT , MBT & RBT ?

Sorry.

LBT = Lean Best Torque
MBT = Mean Best Torque
RBT = Rich Best Torque

LBT is the leanest A/F you can run before you loose power. MBT is the A/F at which you make the most power on average and RBT is the fattest mix you can run before you loose power.

MBT is what you shoot for under the best conditions. RBT is a realistic street A/F target and LBT is where you go for the absolute most power on a motor you are willing to tear down at the end of the day.

Totally believable - different gas burns at different rates.
Effectively higher octane fuel will need more advance and lower less.
Certainly here in Phoenix where the gas is some sort of mix of lizzard **** and meth, you get more power from a LOT less timing.

I am having a couple of issues with the car. Do not know if it is due to the emu or other factors.

1) After flooring the accelerator then i down clutch to free fear and cruise to the traffic light, the car stall.

2) My ilde is erratic as in there is some hesitation once in awhile..it is not a smooth idle. My tuner told me he never touch the idling map.

For both of the about, wat could be the possible problem? Thanks.

have you recently disconnected the battery ? If so that could be the ECU relearning if not it will probably be the EMU .

I have the rick shaw unit and the tuner was only able to only get from 13 to 15 hp himself he said he tryed everything in the book. So i think everyone else is having the same results.

There is a great shop in Jersey!
JPR Imports. (856) 227-1808. The owner, Jim, is on this forum (slimjim).
He did one of the earliest GReddy installs (Philodox) and is a rotary specialist.

Though, I could use another trip to Europe!

My old neighbor back in Maryland moved to Madrid last year (he is Catalan).
Two good reasons now for me to go to España!

In a week or so I'm starting to play with a canzoomer 1.1 in open loop, I plan on getting 13.2 AFR on the upper revs and then dynoing it and go a little higher, my AFRs here: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-engine-tuning-forum-63/can-i-gain-something-canzoomer-afr-table-inside-109322/

Curiously I get different AFRs from second gear pulls and third gear pulls!

If you come to Spain my offer is solid, I've to spare rooms in my house but you could face a bunch of very eager spanish RX8 users since there isn't a single good tuner over here.

I got a question.

Using EMU, which is the better option to adjust the fueling..airflow map or injector map?
