LIVE!   RX-8 AccessPORT Tuning WEBCast Seminar

This four-part WEBCast seminar offers the Cobb AccessPORT user/tuner the opportunity to interact LIVE with MazdaManiac and observe the operation and tuning of the AccessPORT in a variety of RX-8 modification scenarios, including naturally-aspirated AND forced induction. Participants will receive hands-on training in the creation of custom, application-specific calibrations and detailed explanations of every engine management strategy addressed in the Cobb AccessPORT AccessTUNER software.

Utilizing WEB Conferencing, participants can hear live-streaming lecture audio as well as see exactly how the software is utilized on real-time desktop. Participants can engage in live chat for group discussion and questions. Class size is restricted to 10 participants per session to maximize participant interactivity with each other and MazdaManiac.

Part One: Introduction to the AccessPORT Hardware, Software and MazdaManiac Custom Calibration Service

Participants are introduced to the AccessPORT hardware and software, including the AccessPORT Manager, AccessPORT Updater and AccessTUNER tools. Participants are guided step-by-step through the process of updating, installing and logging with the AccessPORT on the RX-8 and the submission process for the MazdaManiac Custom Calibration service is thoroughly explained. Datalogging is demonstrated as well as updating the AccessPORT firmware and using the AccessPORT Manager to move calibrations on and off the AccessPORT as well as downloading datalog files. As an introduction to the AccessTUNER software, participants are guided through the functions of the software as well as the individual tables and their use in the calibration process.

Part Two: AccessTUNER Software Functions and Engine Management Operation

Participants are guided through the function and manipulation of the AccessTUNER software tables and lists and their effect on drivetrain  function. Individual tables are explained and the process of calibrating sensor response, commanding fuel values and calibrating actuator range is demonstrated. Understanding the effect of individual tables on the resultant engine output is emphasized and utilizing datalogging to monitor engine response is demonstrated. Engine management concepts are explained and demonstrated in the context of the AccessPORT AccessTUNER software. Open and closed-loop fueling tables are studied in depth as well as the ignition tables and actuator tables.

Part Three (A/B): Advanced AccessTUNER Calibration Techniques

Participants receive in-depth instruction on the AccessTUNER tables and their use in highly modified contexts. Modification of actuator scaling tables, offsets and compensation is demonstrated for RX-8 applications utilizing forced induction devices, larger injectors, aftermarket ignition systems and intake systems. Injector latency, ignitor dwell and MAF/injector scaling interaction is explained as well as limiting tables, OMP function and igntion and fuel modifier tables and their effect on engine output. "Problem" scenarios are identified and difficulties with table interactions are addressed, with emphasis on "real-world" tuning issues on modified RX-8s. So much information is covered in this last section that it is divided into two parts.

Additional dates for all four sessions will be added as necessary.
