How do you limit a dyno run to 15 sec roughly? From the time you start rolling in 1st gear to the WOT run in 4th is more than 15 sec. Or are you talking about 15 sec in 4th gear?

I'm confused -- I thought it was already shipping, yet you're still talking about prototypes?

Not that I'm anxious about anything ... I'm quite willing to wait a bit longer if it means getting a higher quality product! I like the sounds of being able to switch the ECU mod on and off, rather than having to install and uninstall it.

RX-8 friend

Well, anything before volume production (for fitting, final testing, etc.) I call a prototype. I guess you could now call it the first production unit. Production assy. starts right now because it fit and still worked. The only thing we had to prove is that we could make it fit in the ECU box and that the final case was ok. The electronics has been working in a few cars for a while now.

Tim, you normally don't shift gears on a dyno. You put it in one gear and let the engine spin up the dyno at full throttle to redline or beyond. It only takes 4-5 sec.

We are assembling units literally as we speak.

I had sent out a few before Christmas, and we received a batch of the metal cases we are now using on the 19th.

Unfortunately the lid were wrong and I got corrected ones on the 23rd.

We are building, and expect to be shipping more complete units on Monday, the 29th, when the couriers resume pickups here.

Hey cz, Merry Christmas! Any idea how far down the list I am.

Thanks.

So will all the units assembled/shipped after the 26th have this feature? I assume the ones already shipped didn't have that switch. Will mine have it?

Thanks friend! I think Wildcard timed the DynoLog runs at 12s in 4th gear - from 75km/h to 195km/h. That is the actual power run itself, not the settling "drive" leading up to it.

And the 13.7 (or whatever it was - too many pages ago...) is an awesomely great time. Anything in the 13's makes it onto the Aussie LS1 "Quick List". And from what I read about the accuracy of the G-tech, that would be pretty close to a certified strip measured time. Lucky you guys get cold air! You might even get better on an actual prepped strip.

I believe CZ and his team are making a very consious effort to deliver a high quality product, that has recieved lots of R&D time. It also appears to be a product that will deliver what people are expecting. It is quite an responsibility on CZ's part to believe enough in this product to be willing to put in the engines of people from right around the world.

I wish the CZ team all the best in this venture. I may ask some "hard" questions at times, and CZ has answered them admirably. Some may know that I am choosing a different approach to tuning, but that is not because I don't believe in this product. I do belive in it, and I will even be assisting some Aussie members with their setups, testing, and "certification". I have my own trusted "contacts" in the performance tuning area, and I will be utilizing them. I think my first tuning effort will essentially be functionally, and practically similar to CZ's unit.

It is really good to see the potential unleashed in this car.

Good work CZ and supporters.

Cheers,
Hymee.

BTW Canzoomer - How is your clutch holding up?

PROBER,

If you are tired of paying high prices for your 8 then i suggest you quit looking for stuff right now, its a new car i mean **** if you want parts NOW!!!!!, then you should have saved yourself the headache and bought yourself a damn CIVIC.
Quit your complaining and go buy a honda that has 14000 parts out for it already or just sit back and watch the parts come out for your 8 and by next year sometime you just might be able to go buy yourself a 15k dollar turbo setup and get yourself a whopping 50 horsepower out of it and then BANG your car is dead after the first time you get your panties in a bind out on the streat after a car REV's you at the light and you crank your turbos up and pop your ****.
I can hear it now RRREVVVVVVVV REEEVVVVVV

BOOOM BOOOOOOM BANG FIZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

I have been off work for about a week now so i am a little anry so i thought it would be a great opportunity to take it out on you.

no no on LL i have been on vacation for the past 5 days for Christmas so i am a little wound up, i will be off for another 5 days this week so i am sur i will be in the same mood next monday.

BRx8

this is how you are when relaxing on vacation? i wonder how you are when you do lose a job...

Jhouse

i have had the same job for 7 years now...i too would hate to see what it would be like. i honestly think i would kill someone.....ha hah hahahahhah maybe the sucker that has to let me go. I do have a .45 full auto oozie just sitting around awaiting a good use.


HIJACK ALERT!!!!

The Uzi is 9mm.

However, I'm sure a .45 ACP 1911 would get the job done just fine even though it is a semi auto.

Jhouse

uhh thats bullshit because my uzi is a .45 regardless of what hollywood has made it out to be they made it in a .45 and a 9mm get your **** right.

MazdaManiac

iTrader: (3)

Uh, no.

Israel Military Industries only manufactures the Uzi carbine in 9mm parabellum.
There are some re-chambered Uzi-type weapons in .45 and even in other calibers (.22 and .38 come to mind), but they aren't actual Uzis.
These days, IMI makes 4 models: Uzi SMG, Mini Uzi SMG, Micro Uzi SMG and the Uzi Pistol. All 4 are 9mm. The pistol isn't even available in full auto.
I don't even think the H&K or Ingram are available in .45 ACP.


I went upstairs and pulled the bolt on mine just to remind myself of how off the .45 would look if you tried to chamber a round.
No Hollywood in this house.
What is the stamping on the rail of the weapon you have there?

sferrett

Apparently my earlier post here asking the off-topic discussion to be moved has made me a "*****".

So instead of me being a ***** and asking that something way off topic in a sticky thread be moved, here's something actually helpful.

The new thread regarding the Uzi is here:

Day late and a dollar short!:p

Omicron

Yep, I know, I was just making sure it had really moved.

SO, back on topic...

Canzoomer, how many units have you shipped now??? :D

MazdaManiac

iTrader: (3)

Based on how quiet the list has been, I'd venture to guess:

NONE

Genom

Or as Maurice mentioned earlier, some had shipped befor x-mas season set in, and today (29th) another batch was going out. So a few peeps should be getting their units as soon as this week with any luck.

Guess ya guesed wrong Maniac

Omicron

Yeah, he did say some had shipped, hence my question of how many.

loco4rx8

Were the dyno numbers ever posted, or did I miss it?

mdw33333

I faxed in my order on Dec. 26th, and still haven't received confirmation that it got there. I e-mailed canzoomer and still haven't heard back. I'd just like to know if my order went through.
