evo 8 & 9 AP Discontinued?
 

i went onto the cobb tuning website and it says the access port is discontinued for the evo 8 and 9, im currently looking to purchase the ap for my evo 9, and i dont know where to get it from anymore? perrin has them for the x but not 9, idk what to do? im really interested in the AP

Due to low sales volume and a complex OBD-II plug that is specific only to the EVO 8/9, we have indeed discontinued the AccessPORT for these cars. We will still support warranty issues and some software and map options, but going forward there will be no new developments or new AccessPORTs for these cars.

Are you going to now offer ECUFlash tuning on-site for the VIII/IX?

okay, is there any other way i can do it? like buy the evo x model and buy the obd II plug seperately?

Just use ECUFlash. If you don't know how to tune and don't have a good local tuner (you aren't that far from Minneapolis or Chicago, both have great tuners) contact Melon for a remote-tune.

okay thanks,
now lets say i bought the perrin tuned maps, can i put them on there with ecuflash?

If you buy AP maps you'll need an AP unit, but, off-the-shelf tunes are stupid, getting a custom tune for your car and mods is definitely the way to go.

My advice: Drive 5 hours west and visit Shane at DB Performance in Rogers, MN. He is the best midwest tuner IMO. Easy day-trip and definitely worth it; you'll leave with a terrific tune on your car plus learn quite a bit in the process.

Perhaps Cobb will have off-the-shelf ecuFlash tunes to sell ya, then offer custom dyno tuning. Evoflash is an awesomely powerful tool, and best thing is its free :) That way you can pay cobb to actually tune your car, not for just the hardware and some generic base maps.

you can probrably send them the ecu and they can flash it

i got one im from my 9, evo is gone and its been laying around.... PMd

I notice your in Sacramento!! Close enough to me I'm in San Fran., let me know what you want for it and I'll come pick it up if its worth my while! Thanks!

wow no longer ap for the 8 and 9. im surprised.

Im not. Look how far ECUFlash has come.. They have so many options with all the Tephra mods and Speed density!! It's hard to keep up with.. There is almost no need to go to a standalone like AEM EMS. The only benefits of EMS is The logging capabilities and on the fly adjustments.

Ahh man this sucks

i need a accessport shoot. anybody selling theres. please let me know. i want to buy asap. ill pay 700

where were you when i sold mine for 400!!

Idk. I have one now

Well they discontinued selling the Hardware, but will they still support the AP. I was thinking of going with the AP and getting a tune at the Cobb facility in Plano. If they won't be ill go ECUflash and see if I can tune the 8 without blowing it up.

So let me make sure I got this right ECUflash is what one would call open source right?

you are lucky that this is not one of those "western" :usflag: dodge or mustangs forums
or you would be kicked and banned like a dog from here.
:shoot:
you are calling "stupid" the work of someone that you not even know, you should be more respectfull buddy.

I'm happy with my APII, running the stage II for more than a year now, no issues.

If anybody is looking for an ap let me know.

What are you looking for $$$

is the AP still for sale. PM

Anybody looking for a ap let me know once again!!!!!

any one selling the access port for the evo 9 , pls contact me.

I've been running AP for three years, one year access tuner race, tuning possibilities seem endless.

i want to get one of these new or used

Had this for my Sti too bad its no longer availible

I wouldn't waste my money on one. ECUflash is much much cheaper and has tons of support just on this forum

AP is worth it. The ability to scan and erase trouble codes is very important especially on a daily driver. As a troubleshooting aid it has always helped me. disabling the egr system is a click of the mouse. Not the same with ecu flash. And since both are hacks of the stock ecu the tuning is almost the same.I can also live tune with access tuner race and switch between two maps on the fly
.

Evoscan can read and erase trouble codes. I still don't understand why anyone would go outside of ecuflash for the Evo anyway. You can switch between 2 maps on stock ecu too, I have mine set up for a 93 map and an E85 map.

Without using a computer?

Yes map switching without a computer {thumbup}

I mean code scanning and ecu reset. I only need the laptop to alter the program and upload to the ap.

You can clear/read codes with a $40 obd2 code reader you can get off ebay if you don't want a laptop, or you can go on CL and get a $150 netbook that can do it all and keep it under your seat :)

Have you ever used the acess port or access tuner race?

selling my 8s accessport :)

Still for sale?

anybody have a evo 8 ap?

wtb cobb access port
 

looking for an access port please let me know i want one so bad it did wonders for my wrx and they discontinued for 8&9's

I have an 8 ap for sale name the price

Need one still?

Ya will it work for Evo 9 mr

I would check with Cobb to see if the evo 8 ap can be reprogrammed for an evo 9. While the cars look similar there are many differences starting with the ecu. evo 9 mr, great car, if the evo 8 ap wont work. keep searching for an access port. don't believe the negative hype about the ap. most are upset cobb doesn't support it any more. I've had mine for three years and Cobb has helped me over the phone a couple of times, and access tuner race sets up your ecu like an aftermarket ecu(like aem with 3d maps and piont and click changes to maps). with access tuner race tuning i can outrun nearly every naturally aspirated car(v8,v10,v12)and some supercharged cars(v8s) without any engine or turbo upgrades.the evolution 9 mr is one of the best street cars of all time.

I have an Evo 8 AP
 

I don't have the OBD Connector but I have the software device. Selling it unless some one has a OBD Connector for the Evo 8/9 AP, the one that is discontinued.

I have one as well. It's listed in the FS section.

going to be selling mine shortly for a 9 it might work on a 9
