Besides accessport whats the best bang for the buck?

 

Buying evoscan and a tactrix cable

 

I am getting tuned for E85 next week. I talked to my tuner about a dual-map 93/e85 tune, and he told me that is not possible on the stock ecu tuning. He suggested that i would need to adapt software (he recommended Cobb AP) however I just figured to hell with it and just go e85 year round. Is this the case?

 

Cobb acess port is BUTT its a good way to mess up you 40 thousand dollar car. There is really no level of customization. The level of fine tuning required by an evo to run good and reliably just isnt offered by tye AP. Not to mention for the money you pay you can get a way way better prodessional tune with way way way more featured like anti lag, no lift to shift, and it has eforce which makes state emmissions computers think you have a cat and other emmissions stuff you may have removed.

 

I do dual maps all the time on the stock ecu.

The way your tuner worded "adapt software" is true. The tune would have to be on Tephra ROM if using the stock ecu.

I can't conclusively say your tuner isn't familiar with Evo's or what. At this point, if I were you, I'd look at options for tuners. I assume that's why your asking.

 

The software and hardware have been "end of lifed". I have all the hasp keys they offer and they still wont give me the software for the 8/9. That being said the AP for an 8/9 is not worth it as you have a very small pool of people that can tune it.

You cant-

Fix most codes
Do OBD forced pass
SD
etc.

You can do realtime tuning but you can do that on the stock ECU if you wanna.
