Theres a few places in Cali that if you buy the accessport it comes with a custom tune to put on it..at least thats what ive heard of. And thats for the 695..it'd be great if Cobb out here in plano would offer that. First tune is free or something, since they dont seem to be rushing out on the new maps..

The AccessTuner Race for the X was released: http://forums.cobbtuning.com/forums/...ad.php?t=45294

This is like ECUFlash for the AccessPort. Let's see what Kevin can make of it

I'm sure George will be interested too JJ.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to clarify a few points...

AccessTUNER Race is similar to ECUFlash in that it allows the user to custom tune their own car. However, it must be connected to an AccessPORT and the AccessPORT is required to flash the map to the ECU. This is software specifically for the purpose of allowing AccessPORT owners the ability to self-tune. It is in no way an AccessPORT alternative.

EVO X Stage 2 maps for the AccessPORT will be available by the middle of next week.

Our calibrators at Surgeline Tuning are working on maps to work with some of the most popular aftermarket intakes available for the EVO X and those maps will be available in the near future.

Thanks,

i'm going to order my evoX wideband setup this weekend so i'll have the capability to log that data on the street. it will prolly be something similiar to the way i do it now. might have to use the APO temporarily until i can find a easy access way to power it.

Gary, I don't think that anyone thought it was an alternative to actually owning an AP lol?).

Maybe my hesitations regarding it would be better alleviated if there were more screenshots of using it? I realize it's not a product you really actively support, but something is better than nothing (unless that something is really bad or wrong, then maybe not?).

KevinD,

If you feel comfortable using the AccessPort and the AccessTuner Race, I would definately like you to tune my car with it. Of course, I will need to AccessPort myself. Just let me know so I can go ahead and buy one. Thanks.

I went ahead and ordered the Innovate LC-1 so that I can see wtf is going on with my awesome 9.5 AFRs.

The price of the AP includes a "custom" tune in the case of a couple vendors (now who knows if the tune is good or not).

I can't find the thread, but I saw one where the dyno between the cobb map and the perrin map was pretty apparent. The cobb made more power up high and the perrin made more in the low to mid range. Not sure which was better, they were just "different."

Kevin, if you're looking to do some random logs on a X hit me up and I'll bring the car by to get it logged. As for the rest of us X owners patience is indeed a virtue. I'm getting close to buying the AP but that + custom tune at COBB will be close to a grand I'm sure and that's whats holding me back and forcing me to wait on EcuFlash for the time being.

Goofy if you haven't seen the low octane and high octane maps for the X in that other thread I can post them for you here. I've got the maps and the rom.

Edit: and from what I recall it's more like 9:1 instead of 9.5:1
