New users should begin the
process in section “A” If you are already at a
calibration level above v4.0.1,
you can advance to section “B” of this e-mail and continue
to submit your logs and calibrations as instructed in the follow-up e-mails
that accompany each successive calibration level.

Thank you for your MazdaManiac AccessPORT Calibration Service purchase. Please download the appropriate calibration for your application here:
MazdaManiac AccessPORT BASE Calibration Database
To verify your proper application, follow the "install"
directions below up to the point where the AccessPORT identifies your vehicle.
Use the proper calibration based on what the AccessPORT tells you - NOT
what you believe your model to be. The AccessPORT asks the car's PCM to
identify itself, so it knows best what model to use for calibration purposes. Basic information on the
Cobb AccessPORT can be read here: Cobb AccessPORT for the RX-8 YOU MUST DOWNLOAD THE NEWEST

1)
If your AccessPORT is currently installed, uninstall your AccessPORT from
your car by following the uninstall directions provided by the AccessPORT
menu uninstall option. 6) Start your RX-8, bring it to operating temperature and drive it carefully for a few minutes. On boosted applications, avoid going into manifold pressures above 2 or 3 PSI until after you have completed the procedure for your first calibration submission. For the purposes of the Calibration Service, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO OBSERVE ANY DISPLAYED PARAMETERS AT THIS TIME (though you may, if you choose to do so). Allow your RX-8 to cool for at least 8 hours and repeat this drive cycle again, allowing the engine to cool completely before proceeding.
After performing the two
drive cycles, your RX-8 will be ready to provide the required data-log
feedback to MazdaManiac for further customization and tuning.
1)
Plug your AccessPORT into the RX-8 and start the car. Allow it to warm up
thoroughly. · Equiv. Ratio · Calculated Load · Long Term FT1 · Mass Airflow · RPM · Short Term FT1 · Vehicle Speed ·
Accel. Pedal Position 5)
Press the "Back" button then press the "OK" button.
You
can now download these two data-logs that you have created using the
"Advanced View" menu (ctrl-D) in the AP Manager. They will be saved
as Microsoft Excel “CSV” files. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU ATTACH THESE 3 FILES OR YOUR CALIBRATION SUBMISSION WILL BE REJECTED! Then, provide the answers to these questions: The "11 Deadly Questions"
1)
Real Name 11) AccessPORT Serial Number (from the back of your AccessPORT) 11) AccessPORT Serial Number (from the back of your AccessPORT)
You
should receive a confirmation within 48 hours of your submission.

European, Australian and Asian Market Users:
1)
Remove ALL existing calibrations from your AccessPORT using the AP Manager
software. You can save them on your computer if you like for future
reference. 5) Start your RX-8, bring it to operating temperature and drive it carefully for a few minutes. On boosted applications, avoid going into manifold pressures above 5 or 6 PSI until after you have completed the procedure. For the purposes of the Calibration Service, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO OBSERVE ANY DISPLAYED PARAMETERS AT THIS TIME (though you may, if you choose to do so).
ON BOOSTED APPLICATIONS – IF YOU OBSERVE EQUIVALENCE RATIOS (AFR) ABOVE 12.0 AT MANIFOLD PRESSURES OVER 3 PSI OR HEAR AUDIBLE RATTLE OR KNOCK, IMMEDIATELY RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL AND DO NOT ATTEMPT ANOTHER WOT PASS UNTIL CONTACTING MAZDAMANIAC!
After
performing two drive cycles, your RX-8 will be ready to provide the required
data-log feedback the MazdaManiac for further customization and tuning. |

Perform the following data-log procedure:
1)
Plug your AccessPORT into the RX-8 and start the car. Allow it to warm up
thoroughly. · Equiv. Ratio · Calculated Load · Long Term FT1 · Mass Airflow · RPM · Short Term FT1 · Vehicle Speed ·
Accel. Pedal Position 5)
Press the "Back" button then press the "OK" button. 12) Press the "OK" button again to stop the log. 13) Again, on a safe section of open, flat highway, lower your RPMs to 3000 in 2nd gear (1st gear on the 4-speed automatic). 14) Press the "OK" button again to start the data-log and accelerate at WOT to redline. On boosted applications, ease into full throttle and observe your Equivalence ratios. If the Equivalence ratio is above 12:1 at RPMs over 4200, back off the throttle and proceed to the next step. 15) Release the gas pedal and allow the vehicle to slow and your RPMs to drop and switch to 3rd gear (2nd gear on the 4-speed automatic). 16)
When your RPMs have dropped to 3500, once again accelerate at WOT to
redline or to the highest safe speed you can attain. On boosted applications, ease into full throttle and observe your
Equivalence ratios. If
the Equivalence ratio is above 12:1 at RPMs over 4200, back off the throttle
and proceed to the next step.
ON BOOSTED APPLICATIONS – IF YOU OBSERVE EQUIVALENCE RATIOS (AFR) ABOVE 12.0 OR HEAR AUDIBLE RATTLE KNOCK, IMMEDIATELY RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL AND DO NOT ATTEMPT ANOTHER WOT PASS UNTIL CONTACTING MAZDAMANIAC. You
can now download these three data-logs that you have created using the
