Default Tunning help

Hey guys Cobb has my baja and they are trying to tune it, but have run into a problem with the fuel system. I was hoping someone here could give me their tuners information so I could have them get in touch with Cobb to help them, or at least give insight. They have had the car almost two weeks! If anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated.

More info on your baja and the problem they're having? There's nothing tricky about any of the bajas' fuel systems, nothing Cobb won't have seen before on other Subes I mean.

Which COBB location?? SLC, Plano or PDX?????

I can't imagine any of the 3 would be unable to figure your issue out.

Have you tried posting in the COBB forums??

I'm confused. Your profile shows you own a WRX. You are asking about a Baja. Which vehicle is yours?
If IIRC the tuning options for Baja's are ECUTEC, Open Source, and the Dastec tuning chip. I didn't realize Cobb made an Accessport for Bajas.

My tuner had to update my rom in order to tune my baja. Maybe that might help? He did OpenSource for mine.

Im pretty sure they don't make an Accessport for Bajas. I heard they haven't been able to crack the Baja ECU yet.

OP - Let me know how it goes! I'd like to know how good Cobb tunes the Baja! :]

They don't/never did. That's why I bought an 04 STi ECU and the AP to go with it.

www.turboxs.com guys. Utec Delta is a plug and play piggy back system AND they have one that has the Baja listed on its compatability list. I'm currently running a new FP 68HTA (love it!) 740 cc injectors and all the major supporting mods. It dynod 283 and 327 in a 100 degree shop with 98% humidity and stock iridiums with 45 k on them (WOOPSIE!) I'm going to go with a catless DP and different intake. SPT short ram is great for heat soak. Back to the Utec Delta. It has knock sensing (blinks the CEL if it detects knock AND pulls timing) launch control and an optional remote map selector switch with 5 user maps ( like 93 91 E85 gas&meth and a SAFE map) plus valet mode so nobody can whoop on your ride but you and an engine kill mode. COBB failed me miserably when I was trying to get an answer if a FXT AP would work. TurboXS made a map and then listed the Baja as a platform they support. Good Luck. If you call them (they're in Gaithersburg Md) ask for Germain, he's the head tech / tuner

Almost $1100 for the UTEC? Ouch. I've got just over half that invested in the parts I mentioned, and if you factor in the 850cc injectors I picked up, about $300 or so for a VF39, and an E85 tune and I'll be at the cost of the UTEC.

www.jscspeed.com has the utecs for a lot less. Mention you're on the forums and they usually give a discount too. The utec does SOOOO much more than you'd think. It saved my engine by pulling timing when it started to knock on a few occasions before the tune was fixed.

I live about 10 minutes from Dorney Park.

Sorry for the OffTopic..

Actually I heard the SPT Short Ram is terrible for heat soak. Because of all the heat coming from the turbo in that area. I heard (from my tuner {getadomtune.com}) you're better off sticking with your stock intake and changing to a K&N filter. I guess the short ram does something with the MAF sensor where it basically tricks the car into thinking it takes in more air which runs your car richer in fuel. Its more of a feel good mod, because you can hear the turbo sucking in air and it looks cool. Next time I go down to my tuner, I'll be sure to get the specifics. Just some advice from one subie/baja lover to another.

ABSOLUTE TRUTH! The coolant lines actually clip onto the thing! I'm going Perrin. Maybe even Perrin cold air. Untill then the SPT unit has exhaust wrap hose clamped to it. Hahaha
