Adaptronic 121 project gets to the low 14s!
Through adjustable cam gears, advancing the exhaust cam by 5 degrees and retarding the intake by 15 degrees, we were able to increase the maximum power and torque in the upper RPM range by about 10%. At 1 bar of boost, the car now wheelspins in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, and the heavy duty Exedy clutch often slips as well.
And here's a link to one the drag runs on the night.
The main limiting factors are now a slipping heavy duty clutch and wheelspin - stay tuned for updates!

Latest News!
Welcome to the new Adaptronic Website!
Becky, the Adaptronic Bubble (Mazda 121 project car) just pulled her personal best at WSID. 14.580 seconds, which isn't very fast for a drag car but it's sure fast for a Mazda 121 bubble! Unfortunately we only had 3 runs until the night was cancelled due to rain.

VE Tuning on Adaptronic products
News - Newsflash

Volumetric Efficiency tuning now available with the e420c ECU:
Now both Adaptronic ECUs have VE tuning. Download the latest e420c firmware and software (V2.000) from the downloads page. The graph below shows the results on one of our test cars (a Mazda MX5 NA BP). The process was that the engine was tuned by VE with a target AFR of 12.5, to achieve the bottom of the AFR curves (violet) in open loop mode at wide open throttle. The target AFR was then changed to 12.8 and then 13.0 for two more power runs, with no tuning in between. The flatness of the AFR curves, in open-loop, speaks for itself.
