I am interested - emailed at dptune. (I realize people have been talking about the series 2. I would only be able to do a stock/RB/DP Tune before and after on a series 1)

I am also very interested. This is exciting, as I was not sure there would ever be any tuning options, short of an ECU replacement system, for the Series II. I also sent email for more information.

In fact we have had the software cracked for the denso units in both versions of the RX8 for sometime.
If there is anyone that would like to give us a try, I'll be happy to extend a free reflash to one of the forum members so you guys can get more info on our service

I am able to have before (stock 2005 with cat) and after (your software with cat) dynos because my Racing Beat V2 software is on a separate ECU and I only ran without a cat for that test.

I also emailed, but my car is in the garage for the winter. I won't be able to do the first dyno for a couple of months, at least. I expect I'm out of the running for the free offer to the first person who sends in the PCM/ECU. I'll have to check back in once the car is running again.

I recently upgraded from a series 1 manual to a series 2 auto that has 11k miles and still under factory warranty. Reasons for switching aside, I find it very annoying that the car will downshift for me in manual mode (only particularly concerning when I'm on the highway and only giving it slightly more power) An HP increase would be welcome considering the 20 less it has over the manual. My concern is that if I need warranty work in the future Mazda will figure out I have a custom tune and deny coverage.

I'm interested. But I should let you know my situation.

Also, if for any reason the dealer does update your calibration files, we will re remap you for free(well you pay the shipping)

Well I won't tell you that you should ever try to "cheat" the warranty, but I will tell you this; the remap we do, unlike what Cobb did, is transparent to the factory level diagnostic equipment. So unless you do something really dumb, there should never be any reson for the dealer to even know you have a flash.

As far as return to stock, sure thats easy, we always keep each car/owners original and tuned files in our database for just that reason.
BTW, we are in TX right down the road from you

We have complete control over all of the tables in the Denso ecus. The tuning is,as I said, based on each car. With ecu based dataloging, from your car, we can do simple fuel and timing changes,rev limit increases, ect. I have never been asked to increase or decease the oil pump volume, and frankly never had reason to change fan cylce values, but it is doable.

Sounds good. increasing the OMP volume for those running the SOHN adapter (and those still stock) will aid in both cooling and lubrication. The factory setting for the fans is 206F, In a hot Texas summer on the track or stuck in traffic it is nice to have them come on earlier and stay on longer. Are you looking for beta testers for a series I.

A good question; the service takes several hours to do, simply because we write each file for each car.
As far as return to stock, sure thats easy, we always keep each car/owners original and tuned files in our database for just that reason.

PS, random question, but do any of you guys own RX8's in Texas? 2011 is going to be the 4th annual State Wide event! (check the link under my forum name)

BTW, here is a sample of the tuning for the gen 2 rx8. Note that this is a BONE STOCK street car on pump gas, tune only

Hmmmm 210HP to the wheels on a stock S2? Now I am very skeptical, real S2 race cars are only making 40 more HP than that with stand alone ECU's, Custom header, exhaust, intakes, etc., etc.
But I guess we will have to see for ourselves before we can discount it.

BTW, the car in question was a US model, that WAS done in Italy. It is a test mule that was used for the tuning

Yes that was the point of the offer of a free remap for someone, to show what could be done.........
