[quote name='Fd3BOOST' date='Jul 28 2005, 01:08 PM']It broke because of a shitty map upgrade that was supplied to him by Benny at Greddy USA. Ray of PFS had given Ryan a pretty good map that had been working fine for close to six months. The Greddy issued a flash update or something of that sort which was to help the A/F simulator? Ryan feel free to clarifly since most of this i am going off memory. Anywho.. So Ryan installed this new update to the E-manage software and on the first test drive we broke the seal in the front rotor. We were not under boost at the time the engine popped. We were actually crusing only at part throttle. Greddy has declined any responsibility for this.

Sort of.

The good MAP was mine, not Ray's. Greddy supplied Ryan with a hardware "update" that consisted of yet another sensor "spoof" that screwed the pooch.



I've ditched the Blue Emanage and gone to an Ultimate that doesn't require a bunch of sensor hacks to take complete control of the fuel and spark. Add to that its ability to feedback from a WBO2S signal and all will be good in the world.

[quote name='twstdmtl' date='Jul 28 2005, 09:29 AM']Maybe he meant stock boost of a T3... Anyway.



I have never seen a rotary more thrashed than that in my life! Those pictures broke my heart yet aroused the savage in me that likes to break shtuff

No exhaust port in the rotor housing to blow the chunks out of...



It will keep happeneing too until more money is spent to rectify the renisis' little quirks, the apex seals begin to "rock" in place after 15,000 miles, then adding boost only makes the problem worse.

the ultimate is an upgraded version of the e-manage that can control ignition timing as well as fuel and gives you better fine tuning.



It's basically as much of a standalone as a piggyback can be.
