Not sure if thats true but its worth a try.
Thank you sir! I'll try to find out more info on that tomorrow.

in greddy's finite wisdom, im sure the password is the same for all the kits they ship for all cars...might be time to register on some 'enemy' boards and do a little recon

So do we have any HACKERS reading this thread? :D

Really, what unit were you in? I was in the 82nd Airborne.. to be specific, 1/505 Parachue Infantry Regiment, Scout Platoon. My MOS was 11B3VB4

I found this little blurb out there.... maybe it will help, but I doubt it:

no, as far as I know. greddy emailed a stock map for 96-2000 19t
kit and the hooked the stock e-manage to the laptop using the
support tool and then they loaded the map. Im not sure of this but I
was told that when you connect the e-manage to the support tool and
put any random number, the e-manage zeroizes itself and then you can
do whatever to it. it basically unlocks itself. <
> Like I said, im not 100% sure cause my tuner did it but that is
what he said he did.


Found it here.. but I'm sure it has already been checked out:
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/...e/message/8738

We'll get it eventually...

Omicron, maybe you should move those last two posts to the lounge.
Maybe I'll let up on you in a couple of years. :D

Jeff and I tried that already and it didn't work. I just sent an email to GReddy USA to ask about signing this waiver of liability so I can get the password. I am also going to call them tomorrow and inquire about it over the phone.

That would be really great if you could tune it yourself, but if you intend to, BE SURE TO BUY A WBO2 GAUGE FIRST, and an EGT couldn't hurt either.

Congrats on the kit, hopefully you can get to Atco this spring and run 13s.

Never had a chance to do anything with the classes, which I attended in 1980 and 1981. Tried to get into Ranger school (was headed for SF) and actually had a slot in '82, then lost it due to the military cutbacks of the time. Wound up becoming a Chemical Decontamination officer.

Though I agree that you should have a WBO2S (I have the LM-1 installed in my RX-8), the factory WBO2S as read through the CAN bus is adequate for tuning (this is not the same as the narrow-band O2 sensor in other cars).

For tuning purposes, an EGT gauge is pretty useless.

Yes.
Once you have tuned for maximum torque at the proper A/F, you can take an EGT reading.
That temperature will be the correct temperature for your particular motor and setup. (It has no correlation to anyone else's numbers, regardless of how high or low it is. For most rotary engines, it is not unusual to see EGTs as high as 1800°F. Even higher is possible. Don't forget, this is the temperature of the gas, not the metal.)

You can then look at that number under different conditions to determine if the engine is optimally tuned for maximum torque.

It comes with a WBO2??? Wow. It's a full wideband? 5v sensor??

I'm afraid to ask what the CAN bus is because I fear I'll hear "search, n00b".

That's not true. I don't care how rich your A:F ratio is, if you're hitting 1500F, you may want to lay off the throttle and figure out why you're running so hot.

1800F? HOLY SH@#.

Like I said, EGTs (on their own) are useless.
My MX-3 was happy at 1600°F at the torque peak.
My Miata sits around 1100°F.
At some point I'll probably probe my RX-8, but I've seen EGTs reported by the ECU via CAN in the 1500°F range, so it has probably been higher.

If EGTs really were an indicator of doom for your engine, 1275°F would be the magic number as your rotor housings melted.

That leaves 52^5 possibilities. Assuming that the com port locks out for 1 second after 3 tries we end up with roughly ~2 years (since we normally find the correct code after trying 50% of the possiblities) to crack the code. We better get on it!

If 1000 people buy the kit then we could do some distributed form of brute force crack.

Find a way to prevent the com port from disabling and we are on a roll..
I'm doing a little more analysis: It take about 80 bytes per transaction to unlock the emanage communicate over a 9600 baud speed. This mean we can request 15 tries per seconds. I've have tried using my own written code and haven't experience the port shutdown from eManage yet after so many tries. So assuming no downtime with your 52^5 possiblity, it would take roughly 10.5 months to be exact Either we got the password or the eManage would be fried by then :D So my best bet would be open the EPROM and read the data/password from there.

Not if you know the maximum safe EGT on a given motor. But regardless, there's no reason NOT to have an EGT on a boosted RX-8.

My MX-3 was happy at 1600°F at the torque peak.
My Miata sits around 1100°F.
1100 @ WOT and 90mph?

At some point I'll probably probe my RX-8, but I've seen EGTs reported by the ECU via CAN in the 1500°F range, so it has probably been higher.
Wow, the RX-8 has sensors galore from the factory...

If EGTs really were an indicator of doom for your engine, 1275°F would be the magic number as your rotor housings melted.
Why would your rotor housings melt at 1275°F ?

@ MazdaManiac - Have we met before? Did you have a black MX-3 with two blue(?) racing stripes? If so, we met at Import Wars in 03 (in PA)...and I've seen videos of your boosted MX-3.

The problem is that the com port locks out after 3 tries. This sounds very easy
to hack though.
