Oh for sure. I dont plan on blindly modifying / flashing things at the moment anyway lol. Btw, just to confirm, the latest version of ME removes the flash limit right?

Sweet!

Well I am losing confidence in the folks over at mazdaEdit, and luckily was able to get in contact with another popular mazda tuning group and am working with them on bringing S2 support to their software. Stay tuned

communication is painful with them I can't get a feel for when the personal version is going to support the RX8.

Epihan is sometimes slow to respond to emails, but he is a small operation. I know he was ill this week. Hang tight, I know he is working on it. In the mean time we here are playing with the tables

Got a dump of the S2 ecu using a tool that the guys over at versatuner made over the past few days for the S2... I cannot really share anything, but might have good news in the near future :D

Paimon, are you familiar enough with both to list any differences, pros/cons, ease of use for different levels of expertise? Does the versatuner also require dongle and if so, is it same as MazdaEdit?

same dongle can be used (OpenPort 2.0 from tactrix). There isn't too much more I can reveal about the software itself in regards to versatuner, but the user interface itself is (imo) miles ahead of mazdaedit. I just got some screenshots from the developer showing off the datalogging features and parameters of the VT and they look great.

I can confirm that data has been dumped from my S2 without any issue, found and defined almost all tables that one would need to properly tune the car, DTC masking is available, ignition timing/dwell settings have been defined, logging parameters have been defined, and more.

Here is a preview of what the logging screen looks like as far as parameter selection:

Dynotronics was able to dump my ecu with MazdaEdit as well without issue. Just need to figure out if either or both will flash without issue. We know the price for MazdaEdit. Without letting anything out, any word on price point for versatuner?

That hasn't been divulged to me just yet, but the products that they have available for tuning other Mazda's is around the $399 price point.

Does this mean there's hope for a proper FI install on S2s?

That's one thing I'm hoping for carrmutt. Also being able to adjust other options like idle would be nice. Looking through the versatune they state can do launch control and no lift shifting as well as community based tuning.

Why does everyone care about adjusting idle? I have seen a few S2 owners state that they would like to be able to adjust idle.
