The past couple of nights, on my drive home from work, it's been mid 60's F with moderate humidity and I'd swear that the car has 10+ more horsepower (compared to the daytime 85F). The difference is amazing. If my laptop wasn't a piece of crap, i'd love to pull some numbers off the canscan.

190 seems a little late to be turning the fan on, especially for a rotary. I wonder if there's an easy way to kick the fan on earlier. But 'ecu' and 'easy' are generally on opposite ends of the spectrum with this car.

 

I know the feeling and I don't even have a CZ unit. I think it has something to do w/the cooler air entering the engine through the front ducts. Almost acts like a cold air induction kit would. Boy those times are fun!

 

MY10ae, SR and others,
There were a few things keeping me busy lately. Let me update on my status.
I recently got a new laptop, Windows XP. It seems to have some issues when logging data runs. I get several error messages and the program and it wouldnt let me save to a file, the data log i was trying to save. I had the N-Flash done and noticed a great improvement. I posted in a couple of places that i found the AFR's from 2k-5k nearly perfect, in the 13.2 to13.7 range. ( I was wondering if anyone else with the N-Flash experienced the same thing?) It was still a bit rich from 5k to red-line. I have the RB exhaust and Revi intake. Both sound and feel very nice. My next step was to possibly use my old and new laptops to get data. I would use my old laptop to take data readings , then use my jump drive to transfer the data to my new laptop and make any adjustments and to upload any new maps to my CZ unit. This weekend may be the first time in a while that i can actually get out and do some driving. If anyone has the N-Flash or greater and with or without a CZ unit, and any RB components please post here and share your car performance. Sorry i havent posted here in a while but I will post any performance results or updates i get to share with all you AT owners. This AT section is a great place to share, lets stay involved. Good driving.

 

spr grn8:

Thanks for the update. I need to play with my A/F a bit to smooth out a bit of roughness I get at 4200K when going to full throttle while in 3rd gear. I have a slight hesitation that I think adjusting the A/F might be able to help. If not, I might bump the timing down a bit to see if that helps.

SR: I will try to find some time this weekend to get this logged and will send you the logs.

So far with the Typhoon, Borla, and CZ unit my auto has been running like a top. I am still a happy camper :D

 

Well I picked up my 8 from the dealer on that fan problem I was having. He could not find the reason for it's faulty operation. Told me the readout was inconsistant with what he had read loged a few days before (when I had the air fixed). He "reset" the car (?) and the problem disappeard. I tried the CZ again and woops here came the fan again. I am going to do a reset as discribed in the forum and see if it again goes away. Been looking at the plugs and pins to see if I damaged one but can not see any problem. Have an idea on how to give myself more room for those last two plugs so that I can be sure of their positive mating. I sure wish there was someone local with a CZ that I could try mine on their 8 and see if it's just my 8 or CZ unit.

Going away for the weekend and will do something when I return - May have to send CZ unit to Maurice to have him test it.

 

hey everyone, im john and im from the philly area just recently got a 05' 8 and ive been reading up on your research, im very interested in starting to try this cz, just a bit weary cause i dont really know much about how it works, i would of gotten a 6sp but i work in the city and its constantly stop and go traffic so a at is a more practical solution, but i would love to gain some more power, if anyone can give me their contact info so i can get rolling with this id greatly appreciate it, my email is psudigitalpimp19@aol.com and im handle is psudigitalpimp

 

Woops, what did I miss? Being a "put if off untill tomorrow" type of person, I was just getting around to sending my CZ unit off to Canzoomer for a checkup and noticed that their site is gone and that most (if not all) of the threads have been moved to a new "Greddy emanage" forum. Is this supposed to tell me something?

 

I also noticed the Canzoomer Vendor forum is gone too. It 's threads were moved into the Greddy eManage sub forum.
So what's up Maurice ?

 

I have a couple of (fairly simple) questions:

1. where can I get a Canzoomer?

2. $$?

3. where is the Canzooming for dummies site?

4. What kind of HP/tq gains have you guys seen?

5. Is it worth the trouble of remapping the ECU and such?

6. Whats the difference in stages of the Canzoomer?

 

Has anyone made any progress with the A/T? Mine's a dog from a dead start.

 

Well--with this new interceptor X ECU it looks as though auto owners will be able to bolt up turbos and what not and get some more power out.

 

All of your question are anwsered in the following forum
https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-engine-tuning-forum-63/

You have some reading to do, but it's worth it.

 

I got some decent power out of my auto 8 but have since reset the ECU and haven't tuner it back yet. Still waiting to get flashed to "R" and then do some fine tuning. I will post up after I've been flashed and tweaked...

 

how much is for cz and what else can i add to increase power to at rx8
