I drive an 08 X GSR guys and i've got an Ichiba testpipe along with a catback exhaust as far as mods go.
I'm planning to get the Cobb AP soon.
Is that a good idea right now?
I'm getting a downpipe and aftermarket intake later.
Thanks guys.

 

Do you have any opensource tuners near you?

What market is it? If it is EUDM, I would make sure Cobb has maps for your car / maps that you are looking for.

 

Its USDM. I got it from the states. So it should all be good.

 

Then the AP may be a very good option for you.

 

Sorry to hijack but I have a question and I didn't want to start a new thread for it.

I have been told that there are no AccessPort tunes specifically for Australian cars. I would get my car custom tuned and not use a generic map anyway. Does the AccessPort allow me to custom tune my car out of the box? Is there a large difference between the Pro and Race tuning software?

Thanks.

 

AUDM shares roms with EUDM... and I believe the Cobb has stuff for EUDM.

 

Thanks for the reply.

Can I custom tune with the AP immediately or do I need other software?

 

I recommend going the ecuflash route, we tune EVO 1-10 around the world daily via e-mail. You'll end up with a tune designed for your car whereas the AP will be a generic one size fits all tune. http://www.mellontuning.com/index.ph...ex&cPath=18_44

 

You need software that is not available. If you want a custom tune, you will have to go with the Tactrix Cable and EcuFlash.

It is a cheaper alternative.

 

Mellon posted as I was typing, but he is a great example to what I was saying.

AP = $600.

Tactrix = $170
Mellon Tune is around $350
Total = $520

 

Thanks guys.

Coming from a non Evo background. What exactly is the Tactrix?

There website does not really say.

 

It's an OBDII port reader. It allows you to read and write the ROM on your ECU. Then with EcuFlash, you can edit the ROM.

 

Thanks.

I figured that it was just a go between but was not completely sure.
