Donny thanks again for taking the time to get up there ......

My pleasure. Ken and Mike were great to work with. Boy do they know their s***. I told them if they ever needed my assistance again I would happily lend it. Now I cant wait for the new software version so I can get into all that new Mazda-specific stuff.

BTW now that I have a Dashhawk I highly, highly recommend one to all MS3 owners. The tools are awesome and the functionality is top notch. A must have for any turbo car owner.

Man, THANK YOU for taking the time to do this. This is going to be a big step up for the DH on Mazdas. I can't wait to see what they get out of it.

Thanks again!!!

Great stuff.... I honestly didnt think that 3 weeks after my OP that this would be done (dance)
 
i have a obd2 to usb connector and curious if you could tell me a couple of pids. what is the pid for the boost?
 
hahaha.....already got the patch on the DH leaving work in 15 min ...looks like data logging all the way home lol
 
i see 21.3 vac at idle. Also what are everybody cat temps, cause mine seem to get crazy high, just crusing around they are around 1250-1300, going all out for certain periods of time and really loading the car up in 5th or 6th i saw over 1500

I've seen up to 1600 when WOT up a long hill LOL!!! Thats damn hot! I don't quite get it cuz it definitely shouldn't be that hot in the combustion chamber.

EDIT: Just downloaded the new Mazda files and will be trying them on the way home. Ken @ MSD kicks major ass for whipping this out so quick.

Went out and played with it. Didnt do datalogs yet because theres fresh snow that just fell on the roads.

Knock retard stayed at 0 no matter what I did, until I loaded the engine up in 3rd going up hill which made it flicker 0.2 then 0.4 but back to 0, I guess thats good.

Boost temp seems to respond well with the engine, as stated, I dont know if its accurate just yet.

Some of the other stuff did some interesting stuff, I guess thats the raw data, lol.

Ill do some datalogs tomorrow on my way home from work.

EDIT: Oh, and the AFR seems to be more where this car should be than the AFR from the Fuel parameters. I always thought they were a bit high, low 11s at the lowest This car runs filthy pig rich, reported as low as low 9s, high 8s in extreme cases. Tonight I saw 10s several times which I never saw with the other AFR PID. I may be wrong, but to me it seems more where it should be.


I am currently running Beta8... You're telling me that my A/F Ratios are inaccurate? I've seen occasional spikes in the 9s, but most of the time is dead set on 10s...

The beta 7 on has the correct AFR readings from the WB02 on our car.... the new mazda patch for testing has a AFR that reacts just a smige different thats all. Not sure yet if one is better than the other but for now I use the one you all are using....
 
Update!

Great stuff folks! Got a couple emails and lots of data to dig thru ... it's going to take a bit of time to analyze it. Unfortunately, we have a lot of travel for the rest of the week, so we probably won't have a concentrated effort until Monday to really try to make some significant changes ...

Really good data though! THANKS!

I'm not sure what he's talking about cuz when I logged them all together (A log of the two Mazda specific AFR parms along with the "standard" AFR PID (under the FUEL menu on the device)) they ALL read within .01-.03 from each other. And I think the discrepancies were just from the slight lag from the DH reading them at slightly different times. I would bet the at ECU is spitting out the same exact data for all 3 PID's.

Cool!! (2thumbs)
I was hoping Beta8 was solid... I can't wait for the final release of Beta9 or should I say V2.5... (lol2)
