Unabomber: is it possible that your HP/TQ curves are flatter/smoother than the other stage2 wrx 's ?

Smoothness is controlled by the dyno plot software, so that's a moot point. As to flatness, each car is different and as well, that can be changed in the dyno software, a lot of the flatness has to do with the tune or tuner's ability.

Question protune

? I have a 02wrx lookin to go to the 18g with all the upgrades.Cobbs site shows their maps only support the 16g.Thinkin of going with Cobb AP, but if they don't support the modes I'm lookin for, what is the point of goin with the AP?Would I be better off with some other type of EM with a protune or what? Or will the AP get by till the tune?

sorry for my stupidity but i have a few questions and I have researched but can't find what i'm lookin for. the maps i've looked at say you need stock air box and stuff like that. well i have a cobb sf intake but no maps use it. so do i load that map and not get the most out of my intake until i pro tune?? and can i asume the same for my other mods like turbo back exaust not cats and uppipe all from cobb of course?

Cobb's intake was designed to work with the factory tuning. Therefore, to the best of my knowledge, it is approved for use with the Accessport It should be listed in the map notes, if it isnt.

Default On the Cobb tuning intake..

With the Access Port, you should hold off if you have the cobb sf intake, and possibly other mods that aren't covered by the MAPS.

If anyone else has heard this and knows specificaly when plz let me know, but I hear that Cobb Tuning is releasing a better ECU for the STi, that will have a MAP available for cars upgraded with the intake, and other performance mods not previously covered.

The Cobb SF Intake IS approved with all AccessPORT users according to Christian @ Cobb Tuning. Reading the first post would have told you that.

Ah, sry, I must have read too fast, but thanks for that.
Have you heard anything about Cobb coming out with a better ECU? All I have heard is that it's supposed to be better than the current Access Port, however, this was not first hand info from Cobb.

Look in the vendor announcement forum, details are in there. Nothing to get your panties in a bundle about in my opinion though.

why do you have listed in the 1st post that Accessport allows you to run a bov? does it specifically tune for the metered air lost? not that i want to waste my money on a bov but trying to understand why accesport would allow you to use one without the known ill effects. btw i love my stage 1 accessport can't wait to get my exhaust components and step up to a PDX tune.

Not the 06 WRX. (more than likely the 07 too)

Cobb's intake is approved for 02-05 WRX's. And for 04-06 STi's.

Reading the map notes gives me the info I posted.

A b s o l u t e ditto. I think I'm gonna PM unabomber because now, $845 in the hole, I just found out there is no MAP support with the cobb system. I could sell the system and buy a utec or a gun to shoot myself in the foot, but I think I already did the latter. *sigh*

you are that angry that you can't run a bov, or you spent the money just to run a bov?

No I'm just angry that I can't run one -- its so far down my planned mod list I don't care right now... but I will later. Edit: And now to make things more confusing for me, I'm being told that I can... Well anyway, I don't worry about it much now, it just made me wonder, considering I stuck with the cobb route.

Smile Getting a new WRX

I am going to be getting a 07 WRX TR, and I am looking into the Cobb AP. Now I know it hasnt been released for the 2007 but I assume many parts would be the same as the 06 WRX.

Now I tried to search for the answer and I couldn't find it, sorry if it has been asked already

I am looking at getting the SPT intake with my 07 WRX, and in the future I want to get the Cobb AP 2.0 and I dont want to have any issues with it. Anyone know if it would work without problems (CEL, etc)

Thanks!

Hi Unabomber,

Are the various AP for an STi the same? Can I take an 04, put the 06 maps on it and then program my 06 STi?

TIA

Ray

I have a perrin FMIC with a blow thru boos tube(3 inch section where the MAF sensor is) Will that work with my cobb accessport? I have many mods beyond stage 2, my biggest and most important mods are UR GT30R kit and PE 850 cc injectors. I was told this blow thru boost tube will not work with a accessport and the MAF will be maxed out very very soon. is all that ive heard true?

You can use an AP with any setup.

I ran a Stage 2 map with a TurboXS FMIC, TurboXS intakeand Invidia headers back exhaust. My car ran a bit rich but she ran strong as heck. Knowing tuning like I know now, I would have Protuned her when I had her, but she ran fine as she was. Like Unabomber said countless times. You will never know if your rich or lean unless you get a wideband O2 sensor and changing the intake before a turbo upgrade isnt really needed. It will throw the MAF readings way off and your AFR's will be all screwy in turn causing you to run rich, lean or all over the scale. Take it from someone whos put WAY too much money into subies. I did a lot of mods that were worthless just too look cool, not truly make power. Save your cash and get the parts you want then get a Protune. That, in my opinion, is the only way to go!

Unabomber do you have any follow-up information on the FMIC that was tested? I really want to flash to stage 2 but Im still a bit unsure.
