Mmm, this is very tempting now the personal version it out it's a pretty good deal. Is there a list of what tables you can edit? I don't see anything on the website...

 

And so we're about to have 2 options to tune the s2! Looks like VersaTuner will be the more costly of the two, but how do the features compare?

 

Cool .... yeah I've been going back and forth with him thru email doing the registration. Just sent him hardware fingerprint, so waiting for the user code for the software. I did mention to him in my last email that it was for an rx8 s2 . I'm just really excited to finally be able to tune this damn thing

 

Ok well finally got the personal version all installed on my laptop and read my ecu with it. So lookin good at this point. Gonna Do the tuning in may.

 

you could at least try to tweak your idle or fan temps or something for us!

 

I tried to get the guy that sells it help me to do a few things.... but he s a complete jerk, so be forwarned. This is not an easy install process and there s issues w the software when installing it. He ll take control of your computer and do it for you, but everything is your fault. I know nothing about tuning....so try and ask him questions he feels you should know and he gets shitty w you. I basically told him he s a ***** and left it at that.... i ll have brad tune w it in may. I just dont have the knowledge to deal w it. If Versatuner comes out with something before your ready to purchase yoy may want to consider it first before the edit. Will let you all know how the tuning goes when i get car out there. He already has everything mapped from when we had haltech on there.....so should be pretty quick once i get it out there

 

some cool guy posted some neat screen shots in the SARX facebook page ....

 

I concur . I felt exactly same way about him but the software eventually worked and it was my only choice so sucked it up.

 

Are you guys talking about epifan? Granted, I'm a developer by trade but the process was fairly straight forward and problem free installing and "mating" it to my Win7 Parallels VM, the Open Port 2.0, and my VIN.

And that was with him sending me the wrong version first that required I modify it's command line to get it uninstalled and unlicensed before going through the process a second time a couple hours later once he had the RX8 software build done.

I've only had a handful of issues. The Mazda CANalyzer doesn't always report CELs correctly but it does clear them. I also had a bootloader issue for the Open Port briefly but corrected it by grabbing my prior map, canceling out, then reselecting the one I was trying to flash.

NTITAI I haven't actually communicated with him beyond going thru the registration process ... sounds like that's the way to go.

 

He was just hard to get a hold of for me. I ordered ME and then contacted him asking about RX8 support. He apologized to me and immediately refunded my money instead of having me wait for the supported version to be released.

 

He did the exact same thing to me. I ordered it again minutes after it was posted on 8club that it was available.

 

If you know what you're doing you probably will have no issues ... tuning wise i mean .... but if you have simple question that someone would ask that doesn't really know that much about tuning at this point .... he pretty much tries to make you feel like a dumbass, lol , but getting it installed just has a few quirks for the personal one , not sure about the pro. He did get it installed though ... and i'm pretty good with computers .... but with tuning i'm not. That's why i have Brad do that . At any rate, he's just a pain to deal with in that respect ... but if you have some good knowledge of tuning or have a good tuner avail then you should be fine . Hopefully it will yield some good results when i get everything all set. Brettus is actually helping me at this point , as well so may have some info sooner than i thought.

 

Preview of things to come ...

This is just the logging feature of the versatuner software, but so far so good. We can now see when APV's open/close, SSV's open/close, etc. Here is MAF voltage against RPM.

 

Ok well reflashed ECU with codes that were showing turned off and got rid of the cel, was easy to reflash. So everything has worked well to this point, just have to get the tune from RIP. My thought was I may just mail my laptop to him and have him input values we got last summer with hypertech .... then he can mail back to me and I can flash to my car and we can go from there. Hopefully , it'll save me a trip to OK, lol So nice to have the Cel gone, though !

 

You have no idea how excited you've made me...

 

Just got instructions on how to do the whole remote tune thing as well as updated definitions that include pretty much everything that cobb does.

So S2 owners - you now have a complete tuning solution .

 

Can you adjust EMOP (Electromagnetic Metering Oil Pump) flow volumes? (cc/h) ?

 

Sweet.

 

There are tables for EMOP so I presume , yes .

 

Wow this is awesome news for S2 owners. You have the personal version right?

 

I have the full version - bcjudo has the personal .

 

He doesn't have to try, you just haven't accepted it yet. Real life is not a kindergarten class. The pupil bows before the master, not the other way around.

 

The guy expects you to be a software whizzkid and makes you feel like a dumbass if you aren't - even if it was his software that caused the problem. Maybe we should all be software engineers before we even think about buying this ...

 

It's called customer service XXXX... What are you his business partner ? I can see you'd be perfect together.

 

Like Brettus said , I have the personal .... If you're not planning on doing a tune on multiple cars / vins I don't think there's much reason to buy the pro now that the personal s out. I believe they're pretty similar except for that .
