fast map flashing without a lap top; live data display

Data logging, live data display, reflashing

often

daily

dyno, 0-60, and quarter mile time

data logging, map storage/flashing, live data display

1.The ability to log AFR with PLX and AEM afr guages.
2. ATR software 3. data logging 4. live data display 5. code reading resetting

The ability to display negative fuel trims

They are good and I use them, well, at least part of them. The good is that the timing and fuel maps are conservative enough to be safe, but still make power. However the airflow and load limits are set to low on the stage 2 maps to prevent codes without modding them if you have an exhaust that actually breathes. They would be better if they had K&N filter Mas scalling, both panel and cone clamped to the mas (both open and closed end cone, seriously you can buy these filters EVERYWHERE but you STILL dont have a map for them)

Stage 2 93 octane (if I couldnt get 93, I'd use 91). I used to use the HKS panel filter map, but now I have to run my own map because you don't have a K&N mas scaling, DW1000cc injector scaling, inline walbro injector trims/latencies, or 3 port duty cycle tables. I still use your timing map though. I guess I'd add maps that address my comments to the last two questionsl

 

OK, constructive criticism:

Clean up, simplify and clarify the map instructions on your website. There is no way a OTS E85 map makes the same power as a 93 Oct map, for example.

You need more elaborate, detailed and clear guidance on when to remove or leave the boost pill.

Make OTS maps or remove the ambiguity on when a it's OK or not OK to mix and match various combinations of exhausts with cat / no-cat / hiflow cat, catback, downpipe etc.

When can we expect a Stage 3 and what will it consist of?

 

1. What is your favorite AccessPORT Feature?
The ability to download your off the shelf maps and switch them without a laptop.

2. What AccessPORT features do you use on a regular basis?
Switching maps.

3. How often do you use your AccessPORT to change maps?
At most once per month or right before going into the dealership.

4. How often do you use your AccessPORT to data log?
Rarely, just looked at the knock retard a few times when I first got it.

5. What are some of the features you never use on your AccessPORT?
Shift light, dyno, 0-60, 1/4 mile.

6. What are the AccessPORT features you cannot live without?
Free OTS Maps, map storage, simple use, and ability to uninstall.

7. If your AccessPORT only had 5 features, what would they be in order of importance?
Map storage, map switching, error code reading, error code resetting, and live data.

8. What features would you add to the AccessPORT?
TCU maps for the MR.

9. What is your opinion of COBB Tuning’s Off the Shelf (OTS) Maps? Do you use them? If so why? If not why not?
Ran the stage 1 and it's decent, but currently using Perrin's Stage 1 OTS since it's a little more aggressive. I would like to get a custom Cobb tune, but it's hard to find reliable Cobb AP tuners in Canada. Might make the trip down to Portland in the summer though!

10. What maps do you use most often? What maps do you never use? Which maps would you add?
If I'm not using Perrin stage 1, I'm using the Cobb Stage 1 93 Octane HKS panel filter + catback only most often. If there's nothing else, eventually I might run the stage 2 93 Octane, but I would definately run a stage 3 if it ever comes out for the MR!

I would like to see more aggressive OTS maps since they're all listed to give the same amount of power regardless of the mods. I agree with kizmic27 that K&N drop in / cone filters should be added as they're so common.

8. What features would you add to the AccessPORT?
More maps

9. What is your opinion of COBB Tuning’s Off the Shelf (OTS) Maps? Do you use them? If so why? If not why not?
I am using Stage 1 AMS intake 93 Octane and stocked map. The COBB maps are amazing and universal for all the EVO. However a protune is definitely better than the OTS map. You can always switch between maps and enjoy the benefit from each map while you are on the road.

10. What maps do you use most often? What maps do you never use? Which maps would you add?
AMS FTW. I look forward to stage 2 93 Octane or any future update maps from COBB. Specially those that would beat PERRIN paid maps.

 

1. What is your favorite AccessPORT Feature?
Logging when I don't have my laptop handy.

2. What AccessPORT features do you use on a regular basis?
Switching maps, data logging

3. How often do you use your AccessPORT to change maps?
There is no other option to change Cobb maps.. is there?

4. How often do you use your AccessPORT to data log?
Whenver I don't have my laptop handy and need/want some logs.

5. What are some of the features you never use on your AccessPORT?
'Live data' (Log Data still displays the same thing as far as I can tell)
0-60
Dyno
1/4 Mile

6. What are the AccessPORT features you cannot live without?
Switch map, data logging, pulling codes, clearing codes

7. If your AccessPORT only had 5 features, what would they be in order of importance?
Switch Map
Log data
View live data
Pull codes
Clear codes

8. What features would you add to the AccessPORT?
1) Scrolling map names (I can only see X characters of the beginning right now).
2) LTFT to display live! (For me with the latest FW it always displays 0, but will log correct value)
3) Live data does not 'clear' when you switch to logging, and from logging.
4) 'Buffer' log - log in the background anyway just in case I suddenly see some knock, I can enable logging.
5) Warnings - Flash when knock detected for example.
6) STAMP WITH THE ACTUAL LOG FILES DATE/TIME, ADD A DANG BATTERY!
A) Not a feature, but a harness to mount the AP to the left side air vent would be a life saver.

9. What is your opinion of COBB Tuning’s Off the Shelf (OTS) Maps? Do you use them? If so why? If not why not?
They are great base point, but I don't use them anymore since I have AccessTuner now.

10. What maps do you use most often? What maps do you never use? Which maps would you add?
None anymore, but the selection available was great when I started

 

8. What features would you add to the AccessPORT?

TCU functions

 

What features would you add to the AccessPORT?

The ability to tune it ourselves. Locking us out and only giving access to a licensed Cobb tuner kinda defeats the purpose of buying it. It ends up being a $700 scanner that can add/remove pre-installed maps and delete check engine codes.

I travel very often so I change maps between 91 and 93 oct versions all the time.

4. How often do you use your AccessPORT to data log?

Never.

5. What are some of the features you never use on your AccessPORT?

I don't really datalog. I view the data live every now and again, but I don't know anything about tuning so dataloging
Also the 0-60 time, dyno, 1/4 mile time. I have tried using all these features and it just doesn't seam smooth enough to use.

6. What are the AccessPORT features you cannot live without?

Switching maps easy.

9. What is your opinion of COBB Tuning’s Off the Shelf (OTS) Maps? Do you use them? If so why? If not why not?

As a person with small knowledge of modding and none what so ever on tuning, they are heavenly. I travel a lot and having the same map for both 91 and 93 oct is great.

10. What maps do you use most often? What maps do you never use? Which maps would you add?

HKS stage 1 91 and 93 oct maps are the most used. Never used the economy or valet maps.

 

1. What is your favorite AccessPORT Feature?

datalogging capablity

2. What AccessPORT features do you use on a regular basis?

clear codes

3. How often do you use your AccessPORT to change maps?

Never

4. How often do you use your AccessPORT to data log?

every once in a while. It has a lot of knock so it's pulling timing a LOT.

5. What are some of the features you never use on your AccessPORT?

Haven't really looked.

6. What are the AccessPORT features you cannot live without?

Datalogging

7. If your AccessPORT only had 5 features, what would they be in order of importance?

Tunability (it doesn't have it but on my wish list)
Datalogging
live data
read/clear codes
change maps

8. What features would you add to the AccessPORT?

Tunability, tunability, tunablity. This being for my GTR AP so I can tune this thing it REALLY needs it. I use open source for my EVO X for this precise reason.

9. What is your opinion of COBB Tuning’s Off the Shelf (OTS) Maps? Do you use them? If so why? If not why not?

Stage 1 map is pretty decent but beyond that they get pretty aweful. I was getting boost cut constantly on stage 2 and with the revised map now it's just pulling timing ALL the time.

10. What maps do you use most often? What maps do you never use? Which maps would you add?

Stage 2 93 octane but thinking of going to 91 octane map to cure the detonation levels.
