old Cobb stage 2 can it be reflashed?
i have a 2003 WRx with 232,000 miles the cobb reflashed to stage 2 ecu has been working great for 200,000 miles. i just did a rebuild and up grade of the motor and a 16gxt turbo ,i plan on using 750cc injectors and get it tuned. i called yimisport tuners and they had some concerns about the stage 2 cobb reflashed ecu .does any one know if the ecu can still be tuned ,or is it locked up ,or does cobb need to remove the flash? any help would be app.

Whether or not the shop can overwrite an existing Accessport install depends on which version of the Accessport is installed to the car and what solution you are going to use for your new tune. The current version of the Accessport is the version 2 device (gray body with color screen). If that is what you are getting the new tune with then you have no issues. The version 2 Accessport, when you go to install it, will recognize and overwrite any previous install regardless of the version of Accessport that was originally installed. If you have a version 1 Accessport (black body with "black & white" LCD), I would highly recommend upgrading to the version 2 model. We actually have a trade-in program that will give you $200 towards the purchase of a version 2 Accessport when you trade-in your version 1 Accessport (working or not, uninstalled or not). Details here: http://www.cobbtuning.com/AccessPort...in-s/70459.htm Our latest and greatest Accesstuner tuning software, which a protuner would use to custom tune an Accessport equipped car, only works with the version 2 Accessport. The version 2 also upgrades you to standalone data logging from the device, live data viewing from Accessport screen from a selection of numerous parameters, free Accesstuner Race end-user tuning software, launch control feature, Speed Density tuning, and more.

well i dont have a Cobb access port ...the Cobb stage 2 that i have is the one where they (at the Cobb shop that was in Utah ) took my ecu out of my car and reflashed it.so i need to know if a tuner can over ride that tune with a new one for the larger turbo and injectors im putting on the car.

If you are wanting to go with something other than the Accessport, you shouldn't have any problem overwriting the old AccessECU reflash that you have, AFAIK. Bill |
