no one is going to just up and give Steve a copy of ME. Personal edition is married to your laptop and VIN.
If you're suggesting someone is going to buy the Pro version for him then see my first sentence. You could always ship your laptop to him once you've gone thru the antiquated pairing process with epifan. He will likley be tuning two turbo RX-8's with the Adaptronic soon. |
Well, after using versatune for the past week, I can report that it is awesome. Since I have not used mazdaedit I cannot compare the two, so I won't try. I will say that the UI of versatune is awesome, flashing is a breeze, and Steve is great to work with. The beta version I am testing has had very few issues (parameter labeling) and seems to have been sufficiently bench tested to remove posibilty of screwing up customers cars/ecu's. This is going to be an AWESOME option for people looking to tune their cars!

Versatuner comeback! Nice!
|
Glad they finally got on board. I helped them out with ECU dumps early in the development but they completely dropped communications with me after a while. Their interface was great and a heck of a lot more user friendly than ME. That being said, ME hasn't let me down yet with its capabilities.

I'm glad to hear Versatuner is still going, but their lack of communication lead me to bite the bullet and buy ME, though only the personal version. I haven't had any real issues with ME so far, apart from the obvious UI inadequacies. Honestly, I've been pleasantly surprised with the functionality and stability of the program, given the rather amateurish GUI appearance. I've also had much better support from the russian than I was expecting. Looks are important, but I feel like Versatuner is going to have to be substantially superior to entice me to buy at this point.

Mazda Rx-8 A Mazda RX-8 B Mazda Rx-8 R3 (1MB) it seems that I can pull a 2009 AT RX8 with all 3 options, but it doesn't sound right, ideas? |

So with versatune, Steve was wondering if people would be interested in no lift shifting
and launch control tuning for our cars. I told him yes, but I'd see what other people think. |
launch control would be pretty cool. Shooting flames off a 2-step is always awesome to see

Should be on the market really soon. He just emailed me wondering if this final version I'm using is ready to go on the market. And it is, so i assume it will be for sale very soon. |
Bump!
Go to the Group Buy link and Sign Up. Mazda Edit and Versatune (New Release will have series 2 RX8) can be covered as needed. MS3, MS6, WRX, and STI can be included as well. https://www.rx8club.com/group-buy-ce...eattle-251516/ I'll let Ro_t8 comment as needed. |

So .................. you have used it to successfully tune a series 2 ?
Details about what you have actually managed to do please . also Steve created a "valet" tune that he wanted me to test that had rev and speed limiters as well as drastically decreased power. |

I know the importance of sensor scaling first before adjusting other parameters, but I couldn't help myself because I wanted to verify that it actually worked, and also because its nice to not be so rich under hard acceleration.
also Steve created a "valet" tune that he wanted me to test that had rev and speed limiters as well as drastically decreased power. FWIW : I just tuned a S2 using M/E (NA)........ no problems .Now that I've done that I'm very confident I could make it work on a turbo S2 as well . Grey line : pre tune was running lean due to aftermarket intake throwing off the fuel trims. Green line : Fuel trims normalised Red Line : New tune .... needs minor tweaking still but pretty much there on the first iteration. https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1395963716 |
Looks nice. Is that a wot run? If no, what percent throttle position? My cars oem tune definitely didn't have that lean issue. It was between 11:1 and 10.5:1 In the higher rpm range at wot.

Anybody played with the Fan on Temp for ME?
only 2 values? thought there are 3 speed on S2 ? Fan on Temp A : 85 ?? Fan on 2 : 105 ????? Really ? |
There's no reason to lean out an NA engine at the low end rpm range like that, kno king it out of closed loop that early is only eating fuel and hurting power
