i think the problem is not the greedy kit all by it self... the problem is that emanage that they keep trying to use....
if i were to use the emanage unit that i got, i would probably have the same fate that you had....
so i had a different aproach that rewarded me a lot more than i thouht

The only ones I've seen them do had the coating fail within about 700 miles. It tore up the engine completely. Newly built ruined engine. I'll need to see alot more proof their stuff works god before I do anything with them. They do advertise that they have the exact same coating as the 787B housings. What they don't tell you is that they weren't the one's who did it. That's where the problem is.

Yeah, the E-Manage probably isn't a good solution for a good hand-full of the RX-8s out there.
It works fine for others.
Works adequately on mine, though I am probably going to go with a more flexible solution in the near future.
The E-Manage relies to heavily on the existing PCM - the RX-8 PCM is VERY sensitive and VERY proactive. Pulling its control over the fuel and ignition completely away is really the best solution.
That said, the mere mention of PFS leaves a bad taste in many mouths because of the sheer number of mildly tuned cars that they blew up over the years.
Now that it is in Ray's hands, they might do well to erase that preconception by producing some visible results.

thanks, MM. that's just what i was looking for - alternatives to the e-manage. my car is currently in Ray's capable hands at PFS. seeing the host of issues with Greddy's unit, i was wondering what options are available right now. i'm looking into the AEM and SDS units now. any word when the ultimate e-manage will be released?
