Performance chip in Mazda RX8?

Question

Ok, I have a 2005 Mazda RX8. I was wondering what kind of performance chip would work with my car, if any.

I was looking at a few, and it was talking about cylinders, like they were saying the chips would work with cars that had 2 or more cylinders. And I'm not even sure that my car has any cylinders, since its a rotary engine.

Any help!?

Answer 1

The 'chip is a 2 cent resistor in a box that you wire into your intake and it tells the ECU to stay in cold loop mode.

You can do the same thing with a resistor from radio shack for less than 5 cents.

Answer 2

These little "black boxes" that the other answerer's have mentioned are a complete and utter rip off, and don't work for the RX8 anyway.

Like mentioned, they are nothing more than a 50 cent resistor and keep the cars ECU running in cold mode.  This means the engine runs "rich" or IOW it's simply running more fuel for the amount of air in the engine.

The problem here is the RX8 already runs a very rich fuel mixture so there is absolutely no benefit from these devices.

Answer 3

if you will get a chip it has to be for rotary engines, any thing else made for piston engine will not work on your car

and by the way what you want will make your car spend more fuel than normal because the chip will trick the signal send to the ecu that says is cold

the cold signal at the mourning will make the engine uses more fuel to heat up the engine, once the engine reach operational temp the engine will not use unnecessary fuel

the chip will make that cold signal always stay on,
