damn, just when the mythical figure we've waited forever for is close to release, i might have to hold off on cobb to see what comes out of this... -ugh-

Cobb is still vaporware.
Even once the AP is released, you are still stuck with whatever they think is optimal - its not a tuning solution until the ST software is available and I wouldn't count on that in '08.

Hell, I'm not banking on the AP in '08 at this rate....

it is a good solution for us NA people -shrug-

If you like a one-size-fits-all tune.
Hmm, seems Mazda already tried that...

Is the programming carried over CAN or K-Line?

one size fits all works well for a lot of cars...

my main questions are...

- are the stock flashes based on the US flashes or the Oz flashes, or are they the same now?
- can you save the OEM flash somewhere and the reload it if needed

Hymee, I have put the offer up that ProMaz is interested in working with you on this. My car goes in on the 18th for FI and if possible, at some point would want to use re-flash. If not we go with microtec instead. Either way, at some point I want to be rid of after market ECU so will on the band wagon asap.

Good work mate. Keep it up.

Cheers

Andrew,

Sorry - I did get your TXT. Sorry, but with all that has been going on, I didn't reply. It's been hectic.

The 18th is before I announced when I plan to have something ready, but I'm sure you'll be flashed one day soon!

Promaz can contact me if they like. You've got my number

So your going for one of those laggy FI setups?? <stickpoke> <duck>

Cheers,
Hymee.

slavearm

LOL... I have one of those "laggy" setups, but you would be the first person to sit in the car and call it laggy. If you come out for SSXI, I will make it a point to switch the boost controller mode to hi and take you for a ride. Anyways, can't wait to see this play out, it is a very exciting product.

Hymee

Hehehe. It is all a fun.

Is there any chance of a handheld device or at least a PDA version so you could switch maps without having to have a latop in your car?

...like for instance having a handheld device I could switch the car to a map with a 3500 rpm redline so I don't have to bitch out the punk valet for revving the **** out of my car while its cold

The Ace

Damn.....I just bought the Ultimate, hoping to lean out my AFRs....

OK, for those of us with the sCANanalyser already in hand (and in place): will this be a simple software update ? Or will it need additional hardware ? Will I be able to simply install the software in my CarPC and start tuning

Damn you Hymee, damn you to Hell............well, not really, awesome work dude! I was too late, but I want in too!!

I never did see a response about it working for the 4ATs. I'm guessing I should assume that it won't? I'm guessing it will work for those with 6ATs.

Hymee

Sorry mdw, there is no reason why it wont. I just need to decode the maps in the 4-port calibration, and away we go. Don't give up on me yet!!

Cheers,
Hymee.

Hello Hymee --
You're making me wish I had not moved to your fair city, which forced me to sell my RX-8.

This all is EXACTLY what this community needs. If I can assist in some small way, you know where I am.

rxeightr

Good to hear from you Chas!
Living in a land downunder has been great. Had dinner with Hymee & his family a couple months back, and it is always good to catch up with him.

On that RX-9, it would be quite sweet to have that puppy, and by the time it makes it to these shores I may be in a position to drop some money on one.

Looks like you have been taking good care of the RX-8 brothers & sisters amongst other life excitements, which is good to see. Keep doing what you do best -- helping others achieve their dreams.

HiTMaNN

So far so good neat concept hopefully it goes through and doesn't get pushed back to a 2010 release date because it is def something I want, I have faith!!!

Hymee

Thanks mate. It is all coming together nicely. I didn't make my pre-release announcement based on smoke. It was based on already having a certain number of very critical boxes ticked. Not to say I don't have LOTS of work to do - but I'm confident.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Hymee are you doing anything with the closed loop mode? Open loop only? Or both.
You may have already spoke on that but I lost my damn bifocals.

Remember - we are not rewriting the software (in the PCM) that does the work. This product will give the tuner the ability to change certain operating parameters, with the primary concern on the fuelling and ignition requirements at every load point in the operating range. As far as I can tell (excuse me for not knowing exactly at this point, but I'd rather be up front rather than smoke and mirrors), the fuel and timing maps don't deliniate between open and closed loop. Nor should I think they need to. When the PCM is in open or closed loop mode I believe is a seperate "parameter". When you are in closed loop, the PCM is trying to maintain stoich, and adjusting the fuel trims to achieve this. So the better you get your base tables to the right numbers to achieve stoich (when it needs to be), then the more likelyhood that the trims will stay at zero, or close to that.

I hope that explains things in a edumacational sort of way!

Cheers,
Hymee.
