4 Port RX8 Tune

Post by Ruben »

Hi all thinking of getting VersaTune for my 4 port rx8, I've never done fuel mapping, does anyone have a nice 4 port tune to get me started? And perhaps some words of wisdom,

K&N Airbox airfilter
Catless
Catback exhaust
E10 95 octane (not sure if this matters)

yes, you can do a lot with it.
Have you purchased the full license ?

you can adjust the common "issues" like temps, rev limits, etc. define less conservative afr targets and improve the VE table by logging under all driving conditions.

Hi,

Sure, there you go ;)


Disclaimer:
In case you don't want to use or have access to premium fuel => Reset Ignition L&T timings tables to default
In case you don't have 231hp Excentric bearings => Reset Rev Limiter table to default
In case you don't run a decat exhaust => Reset AFR tables to default

Car Upgrades :
- 6ports excentric bearings
- More permissive OEM style airfilter
- Decat + Muffler
- RRP Coils / MSD Leads
- Oil Pressure Regulator
- Koyorad 48mm radiator

Reliability Mods :
- Adjusted Fan temp enabling (91° / 95°)
- Oil injection increased
- Rev Limit Warmup setup (4000RPM till 66°c)
- Idle at temp increased to 870RPM (To get a bit of Oil Pressure, and safe for emission tests)
- Softer cold Startup Idle
- Better Knock Protection (pulling 3° instead of 1 if so)

Tuned :
- Absolut limits setup
- Soft Coils Dwell increased
- Normal Rev Limiter adjusted to 8350RPM
- AFR tables smoother and adjusted for more torque at high RPM (Leaner after 4500 WOT)
- Adjusted Ignition timing to run a better L&T split between L&T + soft Increase for higher Octane Fuel (98RON/93AKI)
