Mazda RX-8 ECU remapping
21 files available
About remapping
The Mazda RX-8 accounts for 21 files in our catalogue, entirely the 1.3 litre twin-rotor Wankel petrol including the 192 hp MZR 16v designation. It is the last mass-produced rotary-engined car, mechanically unlike anything else on the road.
Stage 1 makes up 15 files — a very clean profile — with one speed limiter removal. The ECUs are N3J1 and SH7055. Being a naturally aspirated rotary, the gains here are modest by nature and we are careful with a mechanically demanding engine.

Can a rotary engine be remapped?
Yes, though the gains are modest: it is naturally aspirated and mechanically unusual. We work on it with particular care.
Does it affect engine reliability?
We work conservatively precisely because the rotary is demanding. A measured map does not add mechanical stress beyond what the engine handles.
Is the work reversible?
Yes. We always keep the original ECU file, so the car can be returned to its factory configuration.
