What map are you flashing?
I am using the stage 1 maps from www.cobbtuning.com. I've tried the Stage 1 91 octane, the Stage 1 91 ACN and the Stage 1 93 octane maps all with the same results.

The maps that are available on your website under 2008 Mitsu EVO MR. The maps (from just now) are the same file that I d/loaded in middle December, 2008 - the md5 checksums are identical.

Should I get updated maps? From where?

this was explained on page 18. you need an updated map.
Not sure what you mean by "page 18" however if you're referring to the following statement from earlier:

Everyone who updates, please re-flash your ECU. It should be quick Do a change map to the same map or whatever map you want to run. For those with custom tunes you will need to have your shop open an re-save their maps in the current version of AccessTuner Pro, then send it back to you. Reflash your map and you will be good to go. I would offer to update your maps, but we cannot open their tunes as the maps are protected for them.
I am using the standard Cobb Stage 1 maps from their website. The above specifically speaks to having custom maps (bolded by me). If I need to flash an updated Cobb Stage 1 map, there is no mention of that - nor are there any updated maps available on the Cobb Tuning website.

edit...you know wat, nevermind. their web site might not be up to date either. that stage 1 you have could still be old.



by the way, we are on "page" 20 of this "thread". you can easily navigate through "threads" by clicking on certain "page" numbers.

Tomorrow I will make sure ALL the maps are up to date including the maps from the website. I know 100% the stage maps on the AP after the 1.3.1.0 update have what is needed. If the maps on the website are old, please use the AP manager to pull them off the AP. The staged maps from the AP should fill in and try flashing one of those.

For example, use AP manager to pull Stage I 91 Octane off the AP. Plug the AP into the car and flash the Stage 1 91 Octane which should always be on the AP by default.

A little info. As of current, our updater will update the included stage maps, but not the maps placed on by a user such as custom tunes.

Thanks,

On my AccessPORT, I used the AP Manager software to delete the default maps via the Advanced window. I did this because I connected the AP to my computer before installing it on my car, and it appeared as though there were no maps loaded at all in the manager. I downloaded the maps from the Cobb website and loaded them onto the AP, and when I installed the AP on my car I had duplicates of all the maps. I went back to the manager software and deleted all the maps (both in the main window and advanced window), and then put one copy back on.

All that said, the 1.3.1.0 firmware update did not place those default maps back onto the AP. As of right now, I don't have any access to the updated maps. Is there a workaround for this, or a way to get those default maps back on there?

Good job Cobb, please have the stage 2 maps ready soon

If you are not comfortable with tuning yourself, I highly advise you to seek the help of a professional. *Some* of those professionals can be willing to help you learn how to tune as well.



The IC piping should be ok, but I'm not sure about the BOV. If the BOV causes a problem, and it very well might, you could remove it until a tuner could tune around the part given it's only there for audible enjoyment Is the HKS BOV (Blow off valve) an actual vent to atmosphere or does it recirculate back into the intake (BPV - Bypass valve)? The intake will also need a tune given it will most likely lean out the AFR beyond a point where the motor will be happy.

Currently we do no have tunes for the intake, although they are in the works. As far as the BOV, I'm not sure if there are plans to create a map.

Thanks,
its a vent to atmosphere...so is there anywhere in the nearby las vegas area that can tune the accessport? or should i jus wait for a suitable map come out?
