2011 STi Sedan Stage 2, shows fine knock learn, Please review my datalog

nature0220 — Fri, 18 May 2012 03:19:44 GMT

Mod Info: 2011 STi Sedan, Cobb SF Intake, Invidia Catted Downpipe, Invidia Q300 Catback.
Map: Stage2+SF 91 v300 Boost Select
Gas: Chevron 94

First log is a 4th gear pull on Sport Mode. The boost seems way too high.
Second log is from a highway run on my way home, just normal driving. Shows fine knock learn on 5th and 6th gear randomly.

In addition, I don't have a Turbo Heat Shield right now(don't think it matters though).

AP log after Cobb Intake installation with spikes to 25psi

tofugc8 — Fri, 18 May 2012 02:20:58 GMT

Hi guys,

I am new here but urgent need of help.
What happens is that after I have installed my Cobb SF intake, I tuned it with The Stage 1 + SF intake ACN 91 normal map.
I stepped on it a few times and I have seen it go up to 25psi three times. So i decided to change it to a lWG map to give it a try. Turns out it couldn't even hit boost pass 12psi. So i went back to the regular map and here is my datalog. It looks like the boost is doing okay. I am not sure what rpm I should be hitting my target boost. Any feedback would be great!

Here is my datalog that I have recorded a few days back.

2012 STI build questions

chrismeredith — Wed, 16 May 2012 03:23:19 GMT

I recently had my Sti tuned at Surgeline and I am really happy with it, that being said I want to go to the next level, a built shortblock so I can turn up the Wick a bunch. I hit 351whp which was near my target for the first part of the build. I have a total of 1550miles on the car so the engine is still pretty green. My daughter is starting college in August so I would like to get this done soon and as economically robust to hit 450-475whp. Do I replace the Short block with a new one from RalliSpec http://rallispec.com/prod_block.htm. Or do I just get a good set of Piston/Rod/rings rebearing it and call it good? Have Cobb put it in and bump PSI up to 25-27psi?

Tim Got any suggestions?

Thanks for any suggestions, advice,opinions

Stage1+CS+TIH 93OCT logs

Niraj — Wed, 16 May 2012 01:00:29 GMT

Hi All,

I just purchased a cobb accessport and finished taking some 3rd gear logs. I was monitoring the fuel pressure the whole way and it looked to dip to about 1630ish psi around 6500rpm. I could have sworn i stopped my logs then, but it seems the AP cut it at around 6100 rpm. Anyhow here are the logs, I'd really appreciate some feedback. Thanks!

ECU Rom Data Disappeared...

ms3blackmica — Tue, 15 May 2012 19:08:34 GMT

Hey Guys,

When i first installed my Accessport, i remember seeing the Rom file under the ECU Data tab in the Accessport Manager...

Ive had my Accessport for about a month, and i just realized that when i connect my accessport manager, that Rom file has disappeared !

The only files shown on my Accessport are my map files and datalogs..Keep in mind that i NEVER tried to delete that Rom file...

Do i have anything to worry about? I am curious if i am going to be able to uninstall my accessport if i ever have to.

High Load + Low RPM Knock 6th gear

ghostofverona — Mon, 14 May 2012 23:54:20 GMT

Car: 2012 STI
Mods: SF Intake
Gas: 91 Shell (Colorado)
Map/Tune: OTS 91acn Stage 1 + SF Intake

Hi,

I decided to log my drive to and from work today to see if anything would pop up during daily driving. Didn't see anything wrong with the drive to work, but something did come up coming back.

When I was going over the log that was from driving back from work, I noticed that I had a knock event (feed back knock) that spiked up to -2.8 and than started decreasing to -2.1. All this within ~2 sec. I also noticed that the car was adding a lot of timing at the same time. This all occurred when I floored it from 14% throttle to WOT in 6th gear for about ~2 sec than dropped it down to 30% throttle.

There were no other events that caught my eye in the rest of the log. Below is a link to it. Don't worry it is condensed down to 3 events.

1) WOT Acceleration with gear changes (no knock or knock learn)

2) High Load +Low RPM 3rd gear (no Knock and only a remnant of a knock learn)

3) High Load + Low RPM 6th gear (Knock spike up to -2.8 with DAM showing timing being added)

Any help with helping me figure out if this is an issue or not would be greatly appreciated.

2011 STI logs w/ stock map. AFR curve doesn't match COBB's baseline graph?

amp2oo1 — Sun, 13 May 2012 19:34:44 GMT

Hi guys - first time here. I did 3 runs today with my 2011 STI. Stock except P&L CBE. I'm doing these in 4th gear, from about 2000rpm until about redline, with 100% throttle the entire time. Is that the right way to do the logs?

I was comparing my graphs to the chart in the COBB PDF here - http://www.cobbtuning.com/v/accesspo...20-%20v301.pdf

My AFR changes about 800rpm or so sooner that that PDF. Can someone help me understand why that might be? I like how mine looks better since it doesn't stay so lean into boost, but I'm just curious why my AFR looks different than the baseline chart in that PDF.

Also, is the minimal feedback knock in the 1st and 3rd runs anything to be worried about? I assume no since this is stock map and that might just be noise, but I'd like to ask anyway so I can learn.

2012 Maps: Throttle Response?

srfonden — Thu, 10 May 2012 17:57:35 GMT

First, thank you very much for making 2012 maps available - you're making a lot of people happy over at LegacyGT.com by providing these. The same day that these maps were made available, two members flashed to these maps. Both of these members indicated that they are noticing a throttle response discrepancy akin to the first 1/4-1/2 inch of pressure on the pedal yielding no throttle effect, unlike when their car was stock (http://legacygt.com/forums/showthrea...-183078p3.html). They also comment that despite this throttle discrepancy, the maps are performing well for them, recommending them as an upgrade anyway.

Would you be able to explain or comment on this effect of the maps? Personally, I was ready to pull the trigger until I read this detail and am interested in seeing your response first.

Thanks!

RX8 Primary Latency table - Baro.Pressure values units of measure?

Hey guys,
I can't find anywhere, documentation that identifies the units of measure used for the Baro.Pressure values units of measure.

I'm using the RX8 ATR

I'm guessing in Standard Units configuration its "Bar" and in Metric it is "kPa"

I'm also assuming its the same units used on any other table with Baro.Pressure like the Calc. Load Max - Baro Comp table.

Standard Units BAR????

Metric Units kPa????

Stage 1 93 v300 datalog review pls. :)

max11sti — Thu, 10 May 2012 05:01:27 GMT

Almost two months ago I first flashed my 2011 sti the v301 map but was getting some weird ecu behavior showing that the car was over boosting so I uninstalled the AP and went back to stock. Yesterday, I tried another map which was the old v300 to see if the car behaves the same it used to. I was happy with the immediate response in power from the car but I wasnt happy with the log. I did another run today in S mode to see if I'll hit 15.5psi and I think I am still overboosting. I did the run in 4th gear from about 2k rpm to about 4k. I just wanted to see peak boost. It was raining out and lots of cars on the road so I just did a quick punch on the throttle and logged it. Should I try the LWG v301 instead? I also see feedback knock under load. :eek: Thanks in advance!

Timing Chain Stretch Warning

westmc — Wed, 09 May 2012 22:04:40 GMT

Does resetting the ecu using the AccessPort and/or resetting the learned values (which I believe is an automatic part of flashing) reset the timing chain value used for the stretch warning?

AP questions

hrvelez — Wed, 09 May 2012 12:56:00 GMT

Hi , I just installed a Cobb DP and Stage 2 91 oct map on my 07 Forester XT A/T and the wagon feels great.

My noob questions are:
1.how do I have to drive the car in the learning time of the map?
2.how long is the learning time?
3.how long do I have to wait to make a good data log that shows good usefull values?

My mods are: Stock air filter with snorkel delete, Cobb DP, ZeroSports Worldleage catback, Cobb AP Stage 2 91oct.
I just want to make everything right

Thanks in advance

Studder/loss of power on Boost

Adderly — Wed, 09 May 2012 10:07:30 GMT

Hi Guys,

My name is Adderly and I am knew to these forums so apologies if this post should of be placed elsewhere or if it's not really related to the CoBB. I have just had a problem with my GT-R, it has come and gone but has been the same problem throughout almost one year now.

Here's a basic list of my engine modifications:
HKS GT600 kit (HKS FCD/EVC included)
HKS Large FMIC
HKS Racing Suction reloaded
Full HKS steel straight through system with legamax premium cat back
Cobb Tuning Acessport

I have had a problem, basically when the turbo's generate boost of more than 0.3bar the car cut's the throttle momentarily, this is not related to throttle position, loading or RPM. As long as the boost gets to the point the car will momentarily lose power, how this feels like is like completely lifting off the throttle and getting back on it again.

Not long ago, I had a battery change and that seemed to cure the problem. However one day the problem came back and I thought maybe cutting the power will solve the problem again, so I tried it and it worked.

This was alright, however now cutting the power does not solve the problem and I basically have to drive my R35 without any boost.

I brought it to my tuning shop and we pulled the HKS FCD out of the car.

For one day the car was fine, running on a max boost of 1.1 bar. Then the next day in a traffic jam as I was coming to a stop and when I went for the brake the engine turned itself off.
I put the car into parking gear and restarted the car. The car restarted fine and drove off fine again. However now it has the same momentarily cut of power but now at anything over 1.0bar of boost.

No engine lights have ever come on the dash, I am unfamiliar with the Cobb system but I purchased it from my tuning shop Top Racing in Hong Kong with the GT600 kit and they have had it ever since, I always go back there for servicing so never really had the accessport at home. I have plugged in Consult 3 as well and nothing has shown. My R35 is a JDM car.

Hope someone who has knowledge about this problem has read this and can help!

New turbo, low boost

MindBlowin03 — Tue, 08 May 2012 20:06:55 GMT

I just swapped out my original TD04L(138k) because it was smoking. Car ran great with the stage 2 map on the old turbo. I installed a low mileage TD04L(45k) without issues and now my boost is low.

Here are some things that I tried so far...
1) New BOV gasket
2) Swapped WG actuators
3) Used original vac lines/pill
4) Checked all lines and hoses for leaks, several times.

I also posted a datalog to take a peek at. Sorry, I can only get a 2nd gear pull.

Any ideas would help guys.

Just got a Cobb AP and have question about stage 2 Maps

zoomzoomMSP — Tue, 08 May 2012 16:52:48 GMT

so i finally got a Cobb AP, really excited about the new potential. i felt that i outgrew the Hypertech and im ready for more power gains. so in looking at the requirements of the OTS stage 2 maps i basically lack one thing and that is a catted DP. currently im running SRI w/ TIH, an upgraded TMIC from ETS, ITV's, Forge BPV, Test Pipe, Upgraded Fuel Pump Internals. i flashed the stage 2 map and my numbers all look good. i guess my question is am i ok on the stage 2 map with current mods? should i get an E-tune for my current setup....how benificial would it be cost effective? do i have to get a DP to run stage 2? im a New to the Cobb AP seen and any help would be great, basically trying to keep my 2008.5 MS3 the fun reliable daily driver that it has proven to be while getting the most out of the mods i have.

Log Check 2010 WRX Stg 1 93oct NWG

mtbiker278 — Tue, 08 May 2012 02:02:21 GMT

Hi all. Just flashed my 2010 WRX to the Cobb Stage 1 93oct NWG map. I ran some logs after filling up tonight. Logs 1-4 are pulls from about 2.5krpms towards redline, some were let up early though. Log 5 is just cruising on the highway and getting off at an exit. To me it looks like I'm not reaching the boost target of 16.5psi (gets up to about 15.4psi), but I'm pretty much knock free under heavy load. I did see some fine knock learn when starting the pull, and also while cruising. Searching around on other threads lends me to believe that this is mostly just noise under light load, but I wouldn't mind some confirmation. There's also a couple hits of the Feedback knock, but again that was low load, and likely while shifting. If everything checks out I'll flash over to the HWG map and log some more.

Thanks for taking a look!

i updated to the new firmware last night... no issues.

went to do a flash this morning and when i hit the button to "flash", a weird screen popped up on the ap that said something about turning the key to off and then to on again, and hitting ok.
I tried this... no luck. gave me a "make sure your obd is plugged in".
(i was somewhat panic'ing, so i didnt take pics".

i unplugged it. and tried the process again.

Datal Log Review (Potential Knock Issue?)

ghostofverona — Sun, 06 May 2012 15:59:31 GMT

I did my monthly data log for my STI '12 (SF Intake +91 ACN Stage 1) and I forgot to log my run so I did another run ~10 sec after so I could get data.

2 points of concern for me was:

1) Running Lean at the beginning of the pull (a/f learning shows it is adding fuel)

2) Fine Knock Learning at 5.6- 6K RPM

Other information: early morning run in Northern Colorado using 91 shell fuel

Is what I'm seeing normal and are there any other issues that anyone can see?

Thanks,

Edit: More logs ~ 30min after posted log (9 is the log in question, 12 and 13 were taken within the same hour of log in question)

Edit Edit: 9 is in sport #, 12 is in sport, 13 is in sport#

Getting a P0172 code

Sajeiro — Sat, 05 May 2012 17:43:51 GMT

I've got a 2007 STI with just under 80k on it, and the only modifications are a turbo-back exhaust and an AP running the Stage 2 91 OTS map.

Yesterday I was driving my car to work and at first it was running fine, then I went to pass someone. I down shifted and started to go around them and all seemed well until I hit around 5000rpm where I felt a very quick hesitation that lasted maybe a split-second, didn't feel like much but it was still there, and apparently the ecu noticed it as well, because my DAM dropped from 1 to .6 immediately after that. From that point on the hesitation got worse and it smelt like it was running richer than normal. If I press the pedal after letting it coast for a second, there is a momentary hesitation, but then it picks right back up until I shift gears, where it hesitates between shifts. I drove it like that for awhile and then my check engine light came on and the AP said it was P0172 (system too rich), which it definitely is. Also when I go to start the car now, it starts up but then almost dies and then picks back up to idle speed. But it even sounds like it's idling rough, not horribly but a little.

So today, I went ahead and pulled off my intercooler to check some lines for cracks and I found a crack in the IC to intake coupler (pics attached). The side with the hole was towards the IC. Could this possibly be the problem? I've checked other hoses and they all seem ok. Is there something in particular that I should take a look at?

need some advice from the pros at cobb

blazebugeye — Sat, 05 May 2012 03:55:40 GMT

Rite now i am running the deatch works 565 vf39 map and the car runs great just cruising but when i try and boost there is fluctuation of boost pressure. For example ill get up to about 15 psi then it drops to 10psi and back, but what weird is sometimes it does it from 18psi down to like 11 and back, and other times it will do it at lower levels. The boost fluctuating always seems to happen after being under boost for about 10 seconds before that it pulls strong. my current mods on the car are turbos turbo back, cat less uppipe, cobb short ram, fuel pump, sti intercooler, perrin turbo inlet, 565 injectors cobb spec, and a vf39.

This problem is driving me nuts if anyone has found a fix for this issue please help me out.

ATR unable to launch APManager

hartlch — Sat, 05 May 2012 02:22:57 GMT

I just installed the latest ATR version (Windows 7). When I try to manage maps, I get an error message saying "Unable to launch APManager". I've tried uninstalling/re-installing both ATR and APManager. Also tried installing and running as administrator without success. Both programs run fine on their own, but just don't want to talk to each other. Any suggestions on what the solution might be?

Thanks,

4Th Gear Fine Knock Learning, problem?

minsane — Fri, 04 May 2012 16:58:43 GMT

Hi Guys:

Well after switching to the 93 Octane LWG Map and a fresh tank of good gas I've been doing more data logging. I've done a total of about 15 4th gear pulls and about 95% of those have had no feedback knock. I did several pulls this morning that all looked clean with any feedback knock. The next to last pull that I did shows fine knock learning from cells 12-19 for about 2.5 seconds (see attachment).

I did a search, but could not find an answer. A post had stated that the Fine Knock may be indicating that the knock is still happening on that pull. Is that true? With Fine knock I thought it was what was learned on prior pulls and would be unlearned. Should I be worried with the Fine Knock that I am reading now?

Thank you!
:confused:

Mlambert890 — Fri, 04 May 2012 03:38:55 GMT

Brand new AP, beta firmware, beta maps...

first install on 09 GTR

backup works ok

install fails with drive cycle error

-climate control is *fully* off (both sides)
-lights are off
-display is "off"
-trickle charger is actually connected and showing 100% battery
-drove car for 30 miles/40 mins

trickle charger on/off, engine warm or not... nothing works... just persistent "drive cycle error"

New Nissan GT-R AccessPORT High-Power OTS Maps for the Big SF Intake

Gary@COBB — Thu, 03 May 2012 22:30:17 GMT

The COBB Tuning Big SF Intake is a 3-inch inner diameter (ID) intake designed to open the door to high-power builds in your future, yet work effortlessly with an otherwise stock GT-R. The Big SF Intake kit future-proofs your intake, so you won�t need to upgrade this component later if you decide to go down the path of major modifications. Furthermore, it installs as easily as our regular SF Intake, without any cutting or trimming of bodywork.

Now it�s easy to take the first step through that open door to more power! We have just released our AccessPORT Off-The-Shelf High-Power (HP) calibrations for the Big SF Intake for Stage1 and Stage2 cars. These HP maps close the gap between our standard GT-R Off-The-Shelf maps and a full custom tune performed by a professional tuner. The Stage2 Beta HP maps, on their highest boost setting, have generated 30HP and 45TQ peak over the standard Stage2 Off-The-Shelf maps and show gains of up to 45HP at 5670RPM!

With great power comes even greater responsibility, and these maps are no exception. While these maps make more power, they do so by utilizing the stock fuel system to its absolute limit, and in some cases the demand placed on the fuel system may exceed its capacity to deliver adequate fuel to run safely.

Data logging vehicle performance is an absolute requirement when using these maps to ensure that the mechanical systems of your GT-R are up to the task of supporting these Beta HP maps. Instructions on how and what parameters to data log are explained in this GT-R Beta HP Data Logging Instructions document as well as how to evaluate performance to determine if these maps are safe to use on your GT-R.

These impressive new Beta HP Off-The-Shelf maps for the COBB Big SF Intake can be downloaded from the special Nissan GT-R HP Map Database, which reminds you of the special attention required to ensure your vehicle can take advantage of these maps while maintaining adequate safety margin.

Nissan GT-R AccessPORT and AccessTUNER Get Big Updates

Gary@COBB — Thu, 03 May 2012 22:16:43 GMT

COBB Tuning is proud to announce new developments for the Nissan GT-R community. The AccessPORT gets a major firmware release that adds new features and functionality. Our AccessTUNER software has also been updated with significant tuning improvements for both professional tuners and DIY tuners alike. In addition, many of the Off-The-Shelf calibrations have been updated and are available for download at no additional cost. Read on learn more about what COBB Tuning is doing to make sure the AccessPORT is the most comprehensive tuning solution for Nissan GT-R performance enthusiasts.

AccessPORT Firmware
The following enhancements have been made to the Nissan GT-R AccessPORT firmware:

AP-NIS-005 to AP-NIS-006 Field Licensing - If you originally purchased an AP-NIS-005 and found that you really want the transmission control module (TCM) flashing, now you can upgrade without shipping your AccessPORT into COBB Tuning. We have enabled field upgrade capability in our AccessTUNER Pro tuning software. This means that you can now upgrade from an AP-NIS-005 to AP-NIS-006 at any COBB Tuning Retail Facility or any COBB Tuning Professional Tuner with AccessTUNER Pro for the Nissan GT-R.

Launch Control - Launch Control on the AP-NIS-006 gets a couple of important updates. Now all iterations of Nissan�s Launch Control are available for all model years and regions. Choose from LC1-LC5 Transmission Control Module (TCM) mapping for the Launch Control method you prefere. In addition, the Launch Control Switching workflow has been significantly improved, eliminating the need to Uninstall the AccessPORT. Now you can simply select the Launch Control iteration you prefer and immediately flash it to the TCM.

Data Monitor Improvements - All data monitor lists in Live Data and Data Logging have been alphabetized to make it easier to find the monitor you are looking for. Furthermore, the following data monitor improvements have been made to provide even more data to better evaluate engine performance with:

Inj. Duty Cycle - This new monitor shows the percent of available time the fuel injector is on and delivering fuel.

Active Map Slot - This new simple monitor records which map slot was being used when the data log was recorded. This makes it easier to know what map was being used long after the data log occured.

Knock Cy 1 through Knock Cy 6 - This set of six data monitors shows the raw knock sensor output from each of the six cylinders to allow the tuner to see noise levels in each cylinder.

Knock Filter 1 through Knock Filter 6 - This set of six data monitors uses a threshold to help the user differentiate between a true knock event and general cylinder noise. Above this threshold indicates knock and below this threshold indicates non-critical cylinder noise.

A/F Ratio (new) B1 & B2 - These previously available monitors have been fixed to accurately show Air Fuel Ratio for bank 1 and bank 2, separately.

New TCM Module Support - The firmware can now identify and install LC1-LC5 on four additional TCM modules, providing more support for AP-NIS-006 users.

AccessTUNER Software
The following enhancements have been made to the Nissan GT-R AccessTUNER software:

Real-Time Tuning Support - The first implementation of Real-Time Tuning support for the Nissan GT-R is now available in AccessTUNER! Real-Time Tuning allows tuners to make changes to cells on the fly, without the need to stop the tuning process to flash the ECU. This feature dramatically speeds up the tuning process by making more efficient use of the tuner�s time.

Please note that this initial implementation of Real-Time Tuning is not complete, but we felt tuners would appreciate early access to this powerful feature. Subsequent releases of AccessTUNER will include interface enhancements to make real-time tuning more intuitive and user friendly.

Rev Limit - Launch RPM - This newly exposed table is the launch control rev limiter table in the ECU. This table is the missing link to providing fully adjustable launch control RPM.

Improved 3D Graphing - The 3D drawing code has been significantly improved in the Nissan GT-R AccessTUNER software, making it much easier to visualize changes and identify individual table cells.

Old 3D Graph

New 3D Graph

MY11 Iginition Strategy - For the 2012 USDM GT-R and all other MY11 Rest of World GT-Rs, multiple ignition strategies can be used. The DBA Ignition Strategy is the default, but tuners can choose to use the CBA Ignition Strategy that they may be more familiar with from previous model years.

5 BAR MAP Sensor - This allows a 5 BAR MAP sensor to be used to measure manifold pressure for big builds. The 5 BAR MAP sensor tuning can only be used on Speed Density vehicles. The stock MAP sensor is a 3 BAR sensor.

JDM Speed Limiter Toggles - A series of Speed Limiter Toggles for JDM vehicles have been added into AccessTUNER that address the speed limit cap issue seen on JDM GT-R�s.

Updated Tuning Guide - The AccessTUNER Tuning Guide for the Nissan GT-R has been updated and offers several new links to additional resources outside of the tuning guide itself.

Bug Fixes - The following software issues have been addressed in this release and improve tuning and maintenance workflows:

AccessTUNER Race Auto Updater for SD - This fixes the issue of being unable to use the software Auto Updater while in the Speed Density Vehicle configuration. Existing software users must switch back to the MAF configuration in order to use the Auto Updater feature to install this software update. Once updated, the tuner will no longer need to switch configurations to use Auto Updater.

Multiply and Edit Dialog Boxes - The �Multiply� and �Edit� dialog boxes in AccessTUNER are not labeled properly to correspond to their appropriate action. These labels were missing in previous releases.

AP Manager Launch - The �Manage Maps� button in AccessTUNER was fixed to properly launch AccessPORT Manager when clicked.

AccessTUNER Race Serial Number - AccessTUNER Race has been updated to properly show the AccessPORT serial number when tuning a Speed Density vehicle.

Keep Non-Table Data - This toggle has been turned off by default. This check box was previously defaulted on and caused old table data to contaminate new tunes, most notably in throttle tables.

Off-The-Shelf Maps
The following enhancements have been made to the Nissan GT-R AccessPORT Off-The-Shelf maps:

JDM Speed Limiter Defeat - All Off-The-Shelf maps for JDM GT-R�s have speed limiters defeated in the latest map revisions.

Launch Control Rev Limits - All Off-The-Shelf maps that had Launch Control rev limits set at or below 3,500 RPM have been updated to 4,100 RPM.

Keep Non-Table Data - All Off-The-Shelf maps now have the Keep Non-Table Data toggle turned off to eliminate issues of corrupting future tunes.

Economy Mode Maps - The throttle tables in the Economy Mode Maps have been fixed, allowing Economy Mode Maps to function properly when this map is selected.

Stage0 Maps - Installed Stock Mode maps have been renamed to Stage0 maps. These are still maps with stock performance levels, but the naming convention was changed to help users understand that the AccessPORT is still installed. The �Installed Stock Mode� map name was misleading and some users believed their AccessPORT was Uninstalled when this map was selected.

cryptical — Thu, 03 May 2012 16:40:42 GMT

So, yesterday I updated my AP and tried out the 4.01 beta Aggressive/ST map coming from the 4.0 beta of the same. I actually liked the 4.0 better, so I went to switch back to it. Plugged in the AP, started to flash the 4.0 map, got to 23% and then *BAM*...it failed and put me into recovery mode. I made sure all connections were fine and they were and tried to flash in recovery mode, which failed as well. I unhooked everything, removed the key from the car and waited a minute to try again...failed. This went on about 10+ times, and then it finally worked.
Now I'm scared to try to uninstall it for service, or flash another map...etc. Any suggestions on what I should do? I really don't feel like having this fail again, not working and then not having a car to drive.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

cojoe175 — Wed, 02 May 2012 15:00:12 GMT

Is there an easy set for re-maping when the installation of 1000cc injectors is complete? Or can someone explain how to properly use the AP when doing this? I was told about a "limp map" but is that the best option or is there something a little more efficient?

Thanks in advance,
Joe

09 STI with concerning data logs

hockeyman34 — Wed, 02 May 2012 06:38:00 GMT

Hi,

I recently got pro-tuned for an Invidia N1 turboback exhaust, Grimmspeed uppipe with Tial 38mm EWG, Grimmspeed EBCS, AEM CAI, and Deatchswerks 265 lph Fuel Pump for 91 and 93 octane gas. I did some data logging with my current 91 octane tune and showed shift knock and possible boost spiking which concerned me. The A/F learning seems very high as well. My logs are attached. Any feedback from the Cobb experts would be much appreciated, thanks.

My Juke will be delivered early June and I just can't wait. I've never seen one upclose until yesterday when I went to a dealership. My friends laugh at me because I never even test drive one, and I have never been inside one either, but I just love this car, when I decided to get a new car I didn't even hesitate, just looked for the best deal I could get and ordered it. By the way,my friends give me one diagnostic tool for nissan car,called CarBrain C168 , i can't wait to use it.hope to come back soon and tell you all about it.Cheers

My OBD connector is failing, can I swap with a replacement?

RageSTi06 — Wed, 02 May 2012 02:22:52 GMT

Hi guys,

I really need to restore my car with its stock data on my AccessPort. Problem is that my OBD connector is having issues with the mini usb connection on it, it seems to be loose. My accessport can still turn on but it turns off randomly unless i hold the cable firmly in place so that the mini usb portion of the OBD connector doesnt move around. I know its not the cable because ive tried 5 extra cables I have laying around my house. I dont want to risk restoring my car's stock data with the mini usb connection all loose on the OBD connector. I heard you guys may be able to swap my defective one with a new working one?

I ordered my accessport along with the full turbo back exhaust quite awhile back about maybe 4 years ago, so I have no idea if i need a specific OBD connector or if a new one is compatible. If needed, my car is a 06 STi. I would appreciate any help you can give me guys.

2007 STi Stage 1 logs

NJSTi — Tue, 01 May 2012 22:34:25 GMT

Hi everyone,

I recently flashed my 07 STi to Stage 1 on the 93 octane map. My engine is completely stock aside from the AP. I read all the documentation, watched the video, and spent a few hours looking through other people's logs and analyzing the feedback provided. I have been logging every time I drive and have done some 3rd gear pulls with no hint of knocking. I did a couple 4th gear pulls today and saw a few thing which alarmed me, but not sure if it warrants flashing to the 91 map (I have 93 available in my area and fill up at Exxon almost exclusively).

Can anyone take a look and let me know if it something to be concerned about? I have attached 3 logs and provided some descriptions below; please let me know if anyone would like any additional information.

Thanks!

Log1:

Line 389 - Started a pull in 4th saw some knock on WOT so backed off
Line 1381 - Started a pull in 4th and looks good to me

Log2:

Normal commute to work in NJ traffic, noticed what appears to be a lot of knock learn. Is this typical?

Log3: (removed a lot of clean areas)

Line 65 - 4th gear pull with some knock at end
Line 132 - 5th gear, looks like noise from boost coming on hard?

TD05H-18gxt+ 1000cc injectors. Need help with AP until I can get it to a shop

cojoe175 — Tue, 01 May 2012 22:13:30 GMT

2007 wrx, invidia downpipe, invidia catback q300, ACT stage 2 clutch and pro tune.

Parts on the way: TD05H-18gxt, process west top mount intercooler, DW200 fuel pump and 1000cc inj. I don't want to spend all the money for labor fees of installation and know a professional mechanic that will help with the install for free. Only worry is the new turbo with the new injectors. I'm very new to this AP business and need more of a walkthrough to get my fuel injectors up to par untill I can have it tuned. Or could I install the turbo and coast as much as I could to the shop and have them install the inj and then retune for me? I don't even really know where to start on the AP if I did both installs myself. Any and all comments other than I'm and idiot would be nice.

Thanks in advance,
Joe

Hi Guys:

I am new to the whole refashing the ECU thing. It looks like I was over boosting and knocking on the 93 octane NWG map for 2011 STI. I reflashed yesterday to the LWG 93 octane. How many miles should I drive before taking another log?

Help! CEL ECU codes P2021 & P2016

Japetto22 — Tue, 01 May 2012 02:09:23 GMT

Hey, I'm pretty new to subie tuning... I just recently modded my '05 sti with cobb SF Intake + SF Airbox, invidia catless bellmouth downpipe and invidia N1 racing exhaust. After installing the Cobb normal wastegate stage 2 acn91, I get the check engine light with the cruise control blinking. I know the cruise control blinks when the CEL comes on. My AP says i have P2021 and P2016 codes, but my car drives, runs and feels fine. I have tried flashing it and reinstalling the tune but it still shows up. So i don't know what to do to fix the problem, these codes weren't there before my mods and tune.

I have a 2011 subaru wrx with a aem cold air intake, invidia non catted downpipe, invidia uppipe, and invidia racing exhaust. I have the stage 2 + aem 93 octane Hwg tune on it. With all that said what psi should i be at thru every gear 18.3 tapering down because 1st thru 2nd i hit about 13 and taper to 11 psi. 3rd gear is about 15psi tapering to 13 psi. But in 4th and 5th i hit about 17.8 and taper to 14 psi. Is this normal do i need to change something on the cobb because i feel like i am not getting the power out that i need to get out. Also how much is a custom tune for my car as is??? Also is my tune or cobb set up to give each gear a certain amount of boost or should i be hitting around 18 lbs psi in every gear ??? Let me know if i missed something or if you need more info from me. Since i am new to this.

'06 STi - first datalog run

MU_STi — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 16:45:56 GMT

New to the forum, and finally was able to do my first datalog. After watching the "Ask Cobb" video on data logging and the things to look for, I would like some input on my log. Some of the highlighted cells are concerning to me (i.e. boost is peaking at 18.89 then dropping, then rising again (I believe boost target for the map I have is ~17.5psi), as well as all of the A/F Learning data (seems to have very high values). Also, Feedback Knock near redline. I have an A/F ratio gauge running into my DP (the V2 had a pre-welded bung), and it seems to always be running rich. Maybe that has something to do with the high A/F values I am seeing?

I have the following engine mods done:

Cobb SF intake
Invidia V2 catless DP
Invidia N1 race exhaust
Grimmspeed Up-pipe
AVO 50/50 BOV
Stage2 93 V300 map

Thanks in advance for the input.

Low Boost and Running RICH?

mazdaspeed619sd — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 06:48:16 GMT

I ran Stage 1+ SF v104 year with no problems, found out I should have been running Stage 2+ sf this whole time so I switched to STage 2+ SF V200

other than that

I was running stage 2+ SF for a month with an exhaust leek (no gasket after cat delete). Got a gasket in and got running rich CEL (2078 or 2?78) and noticed that I wasn't reaching boost target, I was peaking around 13PSi according to my boost gauge. I had to clear the CEL 3 times because it kept coming back after being cleared.

So today I switched back to Stage 1+ V200 SF to hopefully cure the running rich cel and boost problems. So far no CELS, but I am still peaking at the same PSi wtf?

So here is a unproper log at Stage 2+ SF V200 LOG 7

and a proper 1-3 gear with several pulls in gear 3 at Stage 1+ LOG 11

I think I am really just having a faulty bypass valve, it doesn't seem to be as loud as before, can someone give me feedback on my data logs?

2012 STI Stage II not reaching targeted boost (slightly under)

owned19turbocarssofar — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 03:17:46 GMT

Hello folks. I have a 2012 STI with the following mods(see below). I installed the 91 ACN SF stage II but I have the feeling that I am not getting the targeted boost.

Mods:

Cobb SF air intake
Cobb catted DP
Cobb Up-pipe
Cobb AP

I am running on 91 Arizona gas and I am at some altitude (2650ft). My boost hits like mid 17s PSI for a split of second but I am wishing to hit mid 18s PSI. I tried the normal map waste gate setup and the high WG set up map as well but it didn't fix it. What do you guys think? Thanks!

2010 WRX Stage 1+SF 93 Boost Spike

Chris10WRX — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:00:45 GMT

Hello. I recently installed the SF intake on my 2010 WRX (otherwise stock with a SPT cat-back exhaust). Originally, I had tuned the car to the stage 1 93 OTS map with the stock intake installed. Boost numbers looked perfect. After installing the SF intake, I flashed it to the corresponding 93 map for the intake. I am now getting boost spike in the higher gears and at higher speeds. If I downshift to 3rd or 4th and go WOT, my boost gauge pegs to 20 psi for a second and then tappers to about 17-18 PSI. It honestly scares me. This definitely was not happening before I had the intake installed. I also have been hearing what sounds like wastegate flutter at and above 14.5 psi. I believe this is normal though. Otherwise, during a normal run, the car pulls fine and the boost numbers look good (from reading the boost gauge anyway). I have not done a datalog yet. This probably would be helpful.

My question is, can I real-time to the Low Wastegate Map just to give it a try or do I actually need to re-flash the ECU to that map? I prefer to flash as little as possible (if it's going to be permanent, I do it). Is the LWG map designed to correct what I'm experiencing? Would the 91 octane map be worth a shot, as well?

Thanks for any help you can provide. I'm happy to do a datalog also.

Well I ended up driving the bolt in a bit sideways apparently, and the flange now seems to be accepting the bolt at an angle. Is there anything I can do to correct this? the BPV will not screw all the way flush because the bottom bolt is angled. I thought the install was going to be cake but now I cannot even run my stock bpv and I work tonight. Suggestions please

Well, out with the old and in with the new. I've had my 2003 WRX since '05 and I loved it. Loved everything about it. Here was my blue bugeye next to my friend's '02.
126.jpg

I wasn't actively looking but the other day I was waiting somewhere with my daughter and had some time to burn so I loaded the ebay app on phone and just started looking at cars. I ran across a black 2007 STI that only had 12,400 miles on it. That's right.....ONLY 12,400 MILES! So when I got home I pulled up ebay and looked at the user's ebay store so I could find out who the dealer was (I wasn't going to let ebay get a cut of this transaction). I found the dealer and they were located just northwest of Chicago. I'm in Fort Wayne, IN so it was only about 4 hours away. Well, one thing led to another an next thing you know, I've got approval from my bank. So today I headed up to Athans Motors in Morton Grove, IL. And this is what I came home with:

Don't get me wrong...I've loved eveything about my bugeye and i'm kinda sad to see it go but I've been waiting for this day for the last 7 years. I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE A STI SITTING IN MY GARAGE RIGHT NOW!!!!

And I kept my Rotas so tomorrow I'll be checking things out to see how they fit.

Hi.
I�ve seen that you have A OTS with DW800 and E85 setup.
since the DW800 is discontinued and replaced by the DW850, i�m wondering if there is any plans of adjusting the OTS?
I�m very intrested to try this setup!
BTW, have anyone tried and then switch between E85 and petrol maps/fuel...?

yes, I know that the best is to get a protune but unfortunatly there doesn�t seams to be any CobbTuners in sweden.. :(

2012 WRX Stage 1 93 car didn't start/ data log

Ronin2178 — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 03:42:07 GMT

I actually installed the AP knowing my luck pretty much stinks and had a feeling my car wouldn't start. I followed the directions and even trouble shooted based on posts I read ie. waiting for the airbag light to go off blah blah, don't hit "ok" when it says installation complete until its in the off position. I did everything right. Long story short, I disconnected the negative on the battery, prayed, and the car started. I took it for a ride and almost stalled pulling out so it appeared throttle response was very different and the car had a lot less bog. I noticed the power as well so I drove it on the highway and backroads. I did one data log. I would appreciate feedback! Thanks

Tuning help needed

franknbeans — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:15:38 GMT

I have a 2005 sti with Cobb intake and catless TBE running OTS stage 2 93oct.
I recently installed a walbro 255 and DW 850 side feeds.
Now I am trying to tune but having some difficulty.
Before the injectors and fuel pump I would idle right around 14.7 on my AEM wideband.
Then, using the scalar and latencies Ian gave me I started up my car with no issues.
After letting the car warm up, I reset the ecu again and restarted.
With a couple of small changes to the scalar I was idling with fuel correction + learned close to 0.
However, my idle is now at 15.0.
I somewhat ignored this and drove around allowing my car to learn.
Overall the my learned values were pretty close to 0, so I decided to do a WOT run and log.
As I stepped on the gas the AF dropped to 10.2 but by the time I was getting to redline, the AF was up to high 11's, so I let off immediately.
When I checked the log, I had a constant value for my UEGO (i.e. 15.0 for the entire log). This told me it locked up while I was idling.
On a positive note, it seemed to respond pretty well to tip in and felt strong, but...
It appears I have several issues here: lean idle, bad UEGO, overall lean at WOT.

Here is what I have done.
1. UEGO. Checked in hyperterminal to ensure it wasn't a conflict in ATR. Same issue there. I was hoping it was a bad sensor and that was causing all of my problems. I changed with a brand new sensor and no luck. I also did a WOT run to confirm. No change there, during idle, or data log.
I tried a new serial to usb adapter - no luck
I have a new serial pigtail in case there is a poor connection to try next.

2. My next thought for idle issue was factory o2 sensor, however this would be a huge coincidence, and kind of a pain with limited space and tools.

3. For the lean at WOT I tried adjusting both the scalar and latency so throughout the MAF range I would see a - correction (meaning I was putting too much fuel in) hoping this would lower AF during WOT.
For some reason, I saw very little change. Still hitting high 11's.

Any ideas for any of these issues?
My plan is to fix the UEGO issue first so I can get a decent log, and go from there, but I don't understand why it is still running lean at WOT, or why my idle AF is high.
Thanks

555i development

Wanted to see if you(COBB) is planning on doing any development for the BMW 555i platform.

If there are any BMW users out there interested in this please post so... the more there is, the better chance there is of it happening.

Here is a baseline for a complete bone stock one, very impressive considering the factory power rating.

2150's and stoich idle target possible?

project_skyline — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 22:26:56 GMT

Tuning my 2011 STI that is pretty modified and seem to find it impossible to run in closed loop during idle and have it run correctly.

Built motor
Kelford 272's
FIC 2150's
Walbro 400
Aftermarket regulator
Base pressure 50 psi
AMS 900r kit with draw thru MAF pipe

Doesn't matter if in SD or MAF mode, but in close loop operation the car refuses to idle steadily it loves to surge between 1,000-1,500. During so IPW will jump from 1.04-1.54 and AFR's will jump wildy back and forth between lean and rich. I can get a good idle in open loop at .92 to .88 lambda rougly.

Does anyone have ideas for getting to idle in closed loop without it surging or is it simply not possible with such a large injector.

Idle issue

Bradboyd80 — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 22:06:18 GMT

I've got a 2011 WRX sedan. Mods in sig. Currently running the Stage 1 + SF 91 NWG map. Initially it happened with the HWG map (not hitting target boost). So I switched back to the NWG map with no changes.

So anyway, recently I've noticed my car sputtering a bit. Majority of the time it happens at idle. But occasionally it'll happen with light throttle. Only notice it below 2500 rpm. No issues whatsoever during medium to WOT. Attached is an idle datalog. Usually it's pretty smooth, never varying more than a tenth or so vacuum. But as you can see, it's bouncing quite a bit.

Any idea what could be causing it? I've checked for any vacuum leaks, but don't notice anything. Bad gas perhaps? Should I go back to stock with stock tune?

Thanks for any help!

P code 2187 Lean at idle, HPFI install

Josh1320 — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 04:00:06 GMT

2007 MS3
So im a newb with mazdaspeed's, however not new to forced induction.

CEL Light just came on and car will barely idle and runs choppy during low rpm acceleration, unless i feather the throttle.

Just Installed Autotech's HPFI kit and this problem started occuring.

Mods to date: COBB SRI, COBB TIH, Blitz BPV, Biltz Dual-SBC, Turbo XS DP, TurboXS Test pipe, ITV22,
I just ordered accessPORT. I know that should have been the first but oh well.

Im thinking that MAF sensor is sensing too much turbulence due to the recent intake mods, or purge valve was hurt during high map when boost cut occured.
But as far as the P code im lost. I have searched the forums for issues related to this problem and still am not sure what to do.
Thanks!!! Please help!!!

Stage 1, targeting 17 psi... losing power after 5k.

Workdawg — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 01:55:51 GMT

So, I've been tuning with ATR for about a month now on my 1 gen MS3 and more recently I've started to experience the "5k rpm power drop" these cars are known for. Obviously the first step was to take logs and see where I was at. The first log look great, but wanting a little bit more out of the car, I started tweaking things and now I'm targeting 11.8 AFR and 17psi with WGDC controls.

My engine mods are:
Cobb SRI
Forge BPV
Denso V22 Plugs
91 Octane

I started off with the Cobb 91 oct Stage 1 + SRI map. Did a few iterations of MAF calibration, then targeted 11.4 AFR. Once I was happy that was sound, I upped to 11.8. From there, I altered loop transition tables to make it jump to OL quicker. Then targeted 17psi. All following Abilor and bucker's guides on MSF. I've since gone through a few iterations of WGDC settings trying to smooth out my boost so that I'm not spiking at 3k rpm ... however I've also started dropping power about 5k.

These logs were not all taken at the same temps, or the same stretches of road. But the thing that I'm interested in is why I'm currently dropping power after 5k.

In the day 1 logs i kept gaining power to the rev limiter... but in the most recent logs, I'm going back to the old "5k rpm drop" that is similar to the stock tune.
WOT Logs:

Day 1 (roughly) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...3IwQ2lFenJnX1E
Day 1 again: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...jlkc0lIZm9ucWc

Current : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...HYtZzBSZVBfRkE
Current2: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...lNnUGY3UWJPcXc

blah blah... any thoughts are appreciated.

Any insight into why I'm suddenly dropping power after 5k?

2012 WRX ACN 91 data logs

Knale — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 00:59:32 GMT

Recently installed the stage 1 ACN 91 map on my stock 2012 WRX. Car seems to be running real good compared to the stock map. Feels like a more even power band with a little more on the top end. I was able to do my first 2 data logs today. Looks like my peak boost was somewhere around 15.5 psi on the first run with a high on the second run of 15.69. I believe that is an acceptable peak boost for this map. A/F, DAM, Knock and WGDC look good to me. Maybe a more experienced person could take a look and give some input :)

Thanks!

MAF scaling for Injen intake

SSP6 — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 04:25:39 GMT

i'm getting into tuning now. have been tinkering with minor stuff for awhile, but now want to set my car up properly. i've just added a matched injen CAI and FMIC (small core) and i want to start by scaling the MAF to run efficently with the intake, and i'll go from there. i currently run the v310 93oct stg 2 on my 02 wagon, so far it hasnt disappointed me. any ideas to get the MAF right? i know there used to be an early wrx OTS map for this intake, but its gone now.

2011 WRX Stage 1 + SF Flutter Sound

pakbot — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 00:04:24 GMT

Hi all,

This might be a common question and I searched for a couple combinations but couldn't find an answer so I'm hoping someone can help.

I just finished installing my SF intake on my 2011 WRX hatch and flashed to the stage 1 + sf 91 map. I had the plain stage 1 map for the past week and it's been fine, boost seems accurate, power delivery is smoother, basically awesome. :-)

Now with the intake I can hear a fluttering as I let off the gas and the air gets recirculated. It's not everytime, sometimes it is sharper but I can't tell if it's under certain conditions or just random. I have heard it both at lower boost and closer to full.

My car is otherwise stock aside from the intake and tune. Is this a normal sound or should I be expecting a sharper 'pssht' each time?

Thanks for the help!

Another Knocking Stg 1 STi, Please Help!

bgLGT — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 23:32:23 GMT

Hey guys, I'm a bit concerned about my car. I flashed the Stage 1 93 otc V301 map onto the car at roughly 500 mi. I did a bit of logging and everything looked and felt ok. On a whim, I decided to do some logging now that the car is at 15,000 mi. What I saw was a bit disturbing. Quite a few -2.8's in Knock Feedback and Fine Learning. There was even a Fine Knock Learning of -4.2! This is happening at load greater than 2, high boost, high RPM! Today I reset the ECU and logged a 3rd gear pull. Things looked ok but after some varied spirited driving the knock came back. Could anybody shed some light onto the severity of this problem? I'm contemplating getting a leak-down test performed and going back to the factory tune. I'm worried about the extent to which my engine could have been damaged over the course of 14,500 mi. Attached the log files at varied RPM and gears and a post-reset 3 gear pull that looks ok followed by more varied driving that does not. I will be happy to get some more. Thank you for any help you may be able to provide!

Stage1 Boost problems

hrvelez — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 14:18:38 GMT

Hi guys, I just intalled my AP on my Forester XT A/T 2007 and stage 1 91oct map ,my vehicle has only a ZeroSports catback and everything else is stock. I'm having problem with the boost, when cruising or at low speed on 4th gear if I accelerate a little bit and boost begin to raise above mechanical wastegate boost the boost begin to oscillate (+/- fron 6psi to 10psi foward and back and foward etc..). It also makes it in 2nd or 3rd when climbing a hill road at low speed and trying to accelerate a bit more without making it change gear. I checked all the boost lines ,tubes ,inlet etc. and everything seems good. It just started when I installed the Stage 1 map,I switched back to the Stock Mode map and everything is fine,switched back to Stage1 and the problem comes again. Any help on this matter would be appreciated

2012 WRX ACN 91 map

Knale — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 04:00:20 GMT

Just recieved my AccessPort and loaded the Stage 1 ACN 91 map (crappy California gas) on a bone stock 2012 WRX. Also downloaded the Stage 1 ACN 91 HWG and LWG maps in case I have to tweak the tune. I plan on doing some data logging to determine if everything is cool with the standard ACN 91 map. My question is: How many miles should I put in on the newly loaded map before I start logging in order to get an accurate representation of the new tune?

By the way, awesome tool you have here.

Stage 1 Aggressive Dyno - too aggressive for stock ?

jjo213 — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:07:07 GMT

Hi,

my name is jens and i am a 335i coupe driver from germany. I just got my AP these days and did a dyno run today to see how much power stage 1 is. Here are the facts:

335i, manual shift, completely stock running Stage 1 Aggressive (93 octane) V3.01

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...iapstage1.jpg/

I think the torque is way too high for stock hardware, especially around 2.500rpm -> 580nm is 427 lb/ft

Is there any option / map which reduces this bump of torque around 2.500 rpm? From 3,5k til almost 5k the torque is around 400 lb/ft which is still very much...or should i just go back to sport map?

Thanks,
Jens

2012 STI - AP assistance for new guy

djab — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 16:05:21 GMT

I spent a few hours searching the forums yesterday and can't seem to find any answers to my questions so don't shoot me if this is repetitive:

I have not done any other modifications to my car other than the purchase of the AP. Car is/was stock with 6,000km on the odo.

I purchased an AP-SUB-003 yesterday for my 2012 STI 5-door yesterday, downloaded the AP Manager software, updated the AP unit on the computer and then went to install the AP in the car.

Install went as instructed with no issues except for when I tried to start the car the first time, it wouldn't start. Waited a minute and tried again and it fired up no problem. I installed the Stage 1 93 v310 Boost Select map. I always fill up with Chevron 94 octane.

I warmed the car up for a few minutes and then went for a drive. I did not go nuts on the car - took it relatively easy like a Sunday drive with a few short punches here and there. Drove home and parked the car for the night. I am always driving in S#.

I have not yet run any data logs, as I have not had a chance.

My first impressions were:

1. responsiveness off the line felt more like driving on I or a mild S.
2. acceleration was smoother but definitely a feeling of less torque - overall felt like a quick non-turbo car.

I realize that I will need to run some data logs to determine how she is running but wanted to get some feedback on:

1. is this the normal impression? Although I was not expecting amazing things, I was expecting a slight increase in punch.
2. is it possible the reflash did not take properly/fully?
3. any thoughts on where to go? I have downloaded the additional maps in respect of HWG and LWG but will not attempt to install these until I have run some data logs. Should I try to reinstall, try the 91 oct maps?

Any assistance would be much appreciated, as I am new to this. My only experience thus far with modifying cars was on my first car (74 toyotal corolla SR5, which was a complete rebuild and modification but those were the days before electronics like today were involved).

Regards,
D

Boost limits, DAM and feedback knock

KornShaDoW097 — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 11:43:12 GMT

Are boost limits only for 3rd Gear? my 2nd gear never hits the target boost is why I ask.

I just put in colder plugs and now my DAM is always 16 even with my advancing which used to show up as 7-9 DAM, but I have "Feedback knock" but no fine knock or knock active switch. Is it safe to continue advancing my ignition?

Where does the feedback knock come from? Maybe my sensitivity is just too low?

AP power off with ignition

JEBariffic — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 04:16:05 GMT

Greetings!

Before my question, gotta say how amazed i am at the difference the stage 1 map made in my 08MS3. The newly available power above 4.5k rpm is fantanstic! I really didnt expect much improvement with stock, but have been amazed by the difference. I cant wait to see the effects on my next scca solo 2 event!

My question: is there a way to have he AP shut off automajically along with the ignition? I may be missing something, but my AP stays on even after taking out the key. Or, will i just need to unplug the AP?

Thanks for the help, and thanks to Cobb for such an enjoyable addition to my Mazda!

OBD communication issue

kingbird72 — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 02:01:34 GMT

I'm new to the Cobb AP, and today I went out and got myself one, it was purchased by someone else back in Jan 2012, I came back and started trying to marry the AP to my car, it took maybe 20 tried before the ap can finally communicate with the OBDII, I've checked the connection, read the proper connection procedure many times, and still it's really hard for the AP to communicate with the ECU. I can connect the AP to my computer no problem, all firmware are up to date with Accessport Manager. Finally I got it connected with the ecu and flahsed with stage1+SF+91, now I left the OBDII cable attched to the car, and have tried to plug the AP in many times with no issue of communication...once I unplug the OBDII cable, it won't communicate again,would anyone think it could be the OBDII cable itself??? I've tried a regular OBDII scanner and it will communicate with ECM no problem....

Stage 1 + SF + TIH 93 OTS Map Boost Adjustment Question

ms3blackmica — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 20:36:27 GMT

hey guys...

I am currently running the stage 1 + SF + TIH 93 Map 2.10 REV. on my Gen 1 ms3 (2009)

My mods are Cobb SF, Cobb TIH, Turbosmart BPV, CP-e TMIC, Denso ITV22, and the only exhaust modification is a Street Unit Test pipe. Stock exhaust and Stock Downpipe.

The stage 1 + SF + TIH 93 2.10 map is working wonderfully on my car. I had to do a serious MAF calibration for the CP-e TMIC since it flows so well. Boost holds nice and AFR's are hitting target.

My question here is can i raise the boost target of the stage 1 map without compensating the Fueling tables. I want to make the boost targets 16.5~17.0 psi. i just want a little more grunt out of the car at WOT. I will be upgrading the HPFP in a month but neglecting any Fuel pressure issues, would raising the boost target by 0.5~1 psi be fine ? I will be sure to monitor fuel pressure and knock like a hawk. I just want your guys opinion.

Difference between Stage 2 ACN91 and Stage 2 ACN91 + SF intake

Marioshi — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:56:56 GMT

I was looking at the various map notes and came upon a startling discovery:

Stage 2 ACN91 = Stage 2 ACN91 +SF Intake

I had intended to buy a downpipe and the SF intake for my upcoming birthday but it appears the stage 2 map is the same as the stage 2 with SF intake map? Is this an error in the notes or does the SF intake really not add anything when upgrading to stage 2 on CA 91 fuel? The stage 1 + SF intake actuall makes more power (but less torque) than the stage 2 maps??? This seems to be counterintuitive...

I have included the notes below with their "power output" noted as well.

Stage2 ACN91 MTv300 - Intended for an otherwise stock 2009-2011 Subaru WRX MT vehicle running a turboback
exhaust with a high-flow catalytic converter, and STOCK INTAKE SYSTEM WITH STOCK AIR FILTER ONLY.
Intended for Arizona, California, and Nevada 91 octane fuels. Boost Targets: ~17.0psi tapering down to ~13.0psi
by the 7000 RPM redline, +/- 0.8psi.

Power Output: Stage2 ACN91 MTv300 +9.0% HP / +16.5% lb-ft over stock.

Stage2+SF ACN91 MTv300 - Intended for an otherwise stock 2009-2011 Subaru WRX MT vehicle running a
turbo-back exhaust with a high-flow catalytic converter and COBB Tuning SF intake system. Intended for
Arizona, California, and Nevada 91 octane fuels. Boost Targets: ~17.0psi peak boost pressure tapering down to
~13.0psi by the 7000 RPM redline, +/- 1psi.

Power Output: Stage2 ACN91 MTv300 +9.0% HP / +16.5% lb-ft over stock.

- Added 2 gal of E85 and topped off with 91 (yeah yeah yeah no 93 within 20+ miles FML).

datalog3 was my first 4 gear pull... no KR at all.

datalog4 and 5 show the KR back again, drove about 10 minutes between logs.

Next step.... Compression test/ checking my plugs.

There is nothing wrong with it, and it has been unmarried from my 535i ready to be installed in another BMW. Comes with box, cables, manual, everything that was included when I bought it.

I was very pleased with the added performance in my BMW. I am planning on trading in my 535, and that is why I am selling it.

Thanks

Decimal Points in Live Data Monitoring

MazdaspeedSix — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 13:11:36 GMT

Is there a way to set live data monitoring to show decimal points in all fields? Wondering because I've seen videos of pulls with the AP showing decimal places in boost. I wouldn't mind that seeing as it rounds it otherwise with whole integer display. Really just for my own OCD, not actually concerned with absolute +/- .5psi Thanks!

2005 STi part throttle woes

SwedeSTi — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 00:07:58 GMT

I have searched high and low for threads on numerous forums in an effort to find someone that's suffering from the same problem I've had for about 4 months now. Needless to say, I haven't found any.

Long story short:

-purchased used September 2010
-following parts installed May 2011 (and tuned via OpenSource)
1. DW 850cc Injectors
2. NGK one-step colder plugs
3. Hallman MBC
4. Cobb SF-intake / air box
5. Invidia v2 catless downpipe
6. Invidia G200 exhaust
7. Walbro 255lph fuel pump
-started having throttle issues December 2011
-primary O2 sensor replaced Jan 2012 (problem persists)
-cobb accessport purchased and installed (OpenSource tune converted to Accessport by my tuner) in order to datalog and hopefully determine the cause of throttle issue
-throttle body replaced March 2012 (problem persists)

The issue I'm having the part throttle surging. I've datalogged it and seen 'throttle position (%)' values go from 14.-- to 20.-- to 14.-- in a matter is a second, all while the accelerator position remains unchanged. After seeing such a variation in throttle position and talking with the mechanics and tuner, we figured it was the throttle body (possibly the servo taking a dump or the gears having too much play). Installed a new throttle body, still have the problem, but it doesn't seem to be quite to the extent that it was prior to changing it.

Worst part of it is I am throwing no codes and it is totally random. It only surges about 20% of the time and usually for no more than a minute or two at a time. The rest of the time it drives smooth as butter (I have datalogs showing that it CAN, in fact, maintain a constant throttle position).

Attachments:

-ProTune (launch control enabled via Cobb Tuning website)
-4/12/2012 datalogs, "good" is when the car is driving as it should, "mild" is when the car is having variations in throttle position
-3/4/12 datalog, this is a longer log, but there is a spot where throttle position goes from 15.-- to 12.-- to 20.-- to 15.-- in a matter of probably less than 2 seconds.

If anyone has any ideas of what could cause this problem, please shoot them in my direction.

Thanks.

-Swede

Bigger injectors hp gain?

RYANAGUSTIN — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 23:43:20 GMT

Is it worth the extra money to put in bigger injectors like 750cc on a vf39 2006 wrx. What would be the gain as opposed to the 565cc stock injectors?
Current mods include, vf39, sti tmic, perrin turbo inlet, cobb downpipe, cobb intake with box, cobb ap, cobb pulley, grimmspeed 3 port ebcs, grimmspeed up pipe with Tial 38mm ewg setup, walbro 255, and oem sti catback. Trying to get the most hp with the stock sti catback. Was going to put in 750cc injectors while I have it all taken apart, but if gains are minimal I will just skip straight to a protune!
thanks

Can this Boost Creep be tuned out? (Data logs inside)

gmorcos37 — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 03:38:44 GMT

Hello All,
I have a 2011 Subaru WRX and I think I am having some boost creep issues. I currently have an AEM Cold Air Intake, Invidia Catless Downpipe, and an Invidia Q300 catback exhaust. I plan on doing a protune in the future. The car was running pretty well with only the Downpipe and Catback. I then decided to add the AEM intake. After the intake was installed I was using the Cobb OTS stage 2 map designed for that intake. Then I had noticed that the car had been having some overboosting or boost creep issues and so I used the low and severe l wastegate map from Cobb but still had some overboosting issues and the car had gone into limp/safe mode after a 3rd gear pull. I was wondering if you had any recommendations on what to do. I am planning to get the New Spearco TMIC, Forge full recirc BPV, and the Grimmspeed EBCS before for the tune. This car is my Daily Driver so I am shooting for a pretty conservative tune. I know my options to avoid this creep: Uppipe with EWG, Catted Downpipe, or Ported Wastegate. So my question is: Can this boost creep be tuned out or adjusted with a proper custom tune without using those options? The first 3 datalogs are with the Stage 2+ AEM ACN91 regular wastegate. The next 2 datalogs are with same map when I zeroed-out the wastegate values in the "Wastegate Duty Cycles (High)" table, saved it , and reflashed that map to my car. I will appreciate any helpful info from you guys. Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
Thanks
George

Logging on ATR with AEM UEGO

harris9 — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 00:52:08 GMT

Hey guys,

I'm trying to log from my AEM UEGO, to ATR through my serial to usb cable. Everything seems to work, but when I try to log I'm told my wideband isn't connected to the ecu.

I'm assuming this is the white wire (0-5v output) because I"m pretty sure it wasn't connected to anything. So what's the best way to go about connecting the wideband to the ecu?

I've been at this for hours now but haven't had much luck. Thanks!

Just went stage 1, Need a second opinion on data logs. Slight under boost

Koosbag — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 05:19:37 GMT

Whats up everyone. So I recently went stage 1+ this past weekend and, I've pulled 2 logs so far (third gear pulls) I was wondering if anybody and look at them so I can get a second opinion. The fist log was from a Stage1+SF 93 MTv300 (yes i do have a cobb intake, no air box) saw my boost was a little low so I ran the Stage1+SF 93 MTv300 HWG, however, im still slightly under boosting. Should I be concerned about this or is this normal?

Just installed the AEM intake, drove around to make sure the ECU adapted to the changes and then gave her the berries.

Its 63F out, I'm at altitude (5,430 ft). This log was a 3rd gear pull on a 2012' STI with a CNT Downpipe, SPT Catchback and AEM CIA Intake. I am running the normal Stage 2 + AEM intake map from cobb's map download page.

Can someone take a look at the log for me? It is overboosting slightly, but according to the map notes its within the +/- .8 PSI range, do I need a LWG map?

2011 STI Cobb Stage 1 Feedback knock 4th, 5th, 6th gear question, help

minsane — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 15:20:45 GMT

Hello everyone:

I would appreciate some comments on the datalogs that I have attached. The car is a 2011 STI Sedan on the 93 octane High Wastegate Map. When I do WOT in 3rd gear I generally do not get any feedback knock. In the higher gears I am experiencing knock in the middle of WOT. Is this normal?

I was also experiencing this on the normal wastgate 93 octane. The fuel that I use is sunoco 93 octane from a good gas station that does not generate feedback knock in 3rd gear. Why do I get knock in the higher gears and not in 3rd gear?

Thank you for your comments.

Tuning for Winter (very cold temp) : IAT Compensation tables - need review/advise

BlownPSP — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 21:43:24 GMT

Hi,

At the end of winter (a month ago) I datalogged a very high value of the 'Fine Knock Learning' reaching -9, while being 100% stock, always fueling with 94 Octane and using the Stage1 93Octane v.3.01 map.

I did some investigation and found the following differences between the stock map and the Cobb maps (re the above mentioned map) in regards to the IAT compensation tables:

A) The 'Wastegate Duty Cycles compensation (Intake Temp)' : The v3.01 correction values are twice smaller than Stock below freezing point.

B) The 'Ignition Table Compensation (Intake Temp) B : The v3.01 has no value... while the stock one reads '3.16' everywhere.
(P.S. the 'Ignition Table Compensation (Intake Temp) A' is identical to stock...)

I would like to better understand those differences. Are they on the safe side or not...?

Thank you in advance,

Patrick

Fine knock with stage 1

squeakgp — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 19:05:12 GMT

Hi everybody! (you say "hi Dr Nick!") I have been running the stage1 93 octane v310 since it was first available for the 2012. I felt a great improvement but never looked into the AP to see if everything was running right. Well after doing some datalogs I first posted up on nasioc to see if someone in the community there would look at it and hopefully all was well and wouldn't have to look any further. However, that didn't happen, I have fine knock learn in almost every pull, mostly at higher RPM. Someone there suggested I try changing the timing value to -3 and test again. Figured I would and see, but after no real change in the logs I figured it was time to ask the pros. So, here are some datalogs and I hope nothing is too bad off.

Thanks for your help, in advance.

AP loosing communication with ECU

mdd5148 — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 15:58:25 GMT

I have a 2007 mazdaspeed 6 and recently my AP has started randomly loosing communication with the ECU.

I get a couple of screens on the ap when this happens: sometimes the ap will be monitoring a value and then go back to the main menu by itself with monitor option selected, other times I will get the screen with the red voided circle - unable to establish connection, and then other times the ap will say it is trying to re-establish connection. I have also seen the ap go back to what looks like a cmd prompt screen - white text on black background.

I verified that the obII connector was well seated and I double checked that I am running the most recent firmware.

Any ideas?

CEL error during datalog run and a few suggestions to COBB

KornShaDoW097 — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 10:02:00 GMT

Hi, I keep getting a set of error codes only on gear 3 when IAT is <70deg

If I do a second run it seems to go away but at every reflash it comes back on a WOT datalog after 5,100RPM, the car shakes and I have to let in the clutch.

Error codes: P0037 and P0244, one is a heater coil and the other is a wastegate A issue.

*Also Since there is no option to compensate ign timing based on rpm on a certain IAT I can't really tune for for knock very well.*(I get feedback knock between -2.11 to -6.33 above 4400RPM)

*Ive also noticed a huge gap for the WGDC High for 3k and 3,600... I need to tune boost between there! But can't, is this a ECU issue or software issue? I'd like more RPM's to work with.

Thanks

My foot is in the same position on the throttle, so I am not sure what is causing the slight rpm increase.

partial throttle knock. Need inputs

xtreme. — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 04:11:31 GMT

I am going to write in short summary format so it is easy to read...
Done a lot of searching on the topic, but still no luck.
I am tuning myself.
Car info: 2007 STi, catless DP, Walbro 255 fuel pump, stock everything else.

Problem: Knock in partial throttle (low rpm: mostly 2500-3500, 5th-6th gear freeway - low load). I am cruising, then right when I give it some throttle I get knock (1.4 degrees usually that tapers down to zero even if I go WOT)
Sometimes it goes up to 5 degrees immediately then slowly tapers down to zero even if WOT after first knock.

WOT pulls give zero FBKC/FLKC. Only when cruising and giving some throttle this happens...

So far I have done the following:
-Add some fuel in the corresponding cells (corresponding load/rpm)
-Pull some timing from the corresponding cells (corresponding load/rpm)
-Read some comments about making the timing map overall smooth, maxing them out in 40-42 degrees on the lowest load cells, and progressively reduce them as load goes up. In full boost add only ~2 degrees as rpm goes up. Did this but still get the annoying knock.

^all of which did not fix the issue, but made my spool-up slow and lowered overall power output.

- I also increased my tip-in enrichment until I could feel it hesitate (had to backoff a bit at that point) but that didn't help either.

All the following OTS maps also have this issue:
-ACN 91 oct stage 1
-ACN 91 oct stage 2
-91 oct stage 1
-91 oct stage 2
-Stock 07

I thought maybe this has to do with my Open Loop to Closed Loop transition, and maybe I stay in CL when I get the knock but this was not the case. In my logs it shows that I am in OL before the knock happens... At this point I am clueless...

Logs:
I compressed a few logs (only shows when I knock - these are short logs):

Any help would be appreciated. I am willing to share any part of my map also. Thanks

Hoping to get a log review for 11 STI

ericlfg — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:02:39 GMT

Hey all,

I've been running the stage1 91 octane 301 boost select map for a few months now and ran a couple of logs last night. There is about 3 minutes between each log and I'm seeing some feedback knock and fine knock on the second 3rd gear pull.

My novice observations:
- the feedback knock could be low RPM false knock slowly tapering off (from ~2200 rpm to 4200 rpm)
- over boost in the TD Boost Error column (negative values)
- AF Learning 1 is negative 7%

Should I switch over to the LWG map for a while or just get a tank of 94?

Thanks in advance.

Which map? Low boost and knock...

TheGreenOctober — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 10:03:25 GMT

For a completely stock 2012 MR, would I be better off running the Stage1 or the Stage0 that was flashed during install?
I'm running the Stage0 on 94 octane and when monitoring knock sum, I'm noticing that I got up to 4 counts. It was mainly between 6000 and 6700 though I got 1 or 2 counts a few times in the 2000-3000 range. It's not entirely consistent or extremely frequent but I saw it a few times more than I was comfortable with, however I'm pretty brand new to seeing and trying to understand the values I'm monitoring, and pretty new to modification in general, so I'm not very knowledgeable.

Also noticing that around 19 to 20 psi was the most I could attain, whereas I've read that generally the car should be pushing around 24? (Correct me if I'm wrong, just going off what I've seen.) Is it likely it's a leak? Only 2500km on the car and completely unmodded, I don't know if it's a common thing to have a leak from the factory or not. Could elevation be a factor?

I know this is not nearly as helpful without logs, so if someone who has the time to take a look could get back with what you want me to log, and which values, I will get it done ASAP.

Stage 2 AEM + turbo back

crizzbee — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 06:03:16 GMT

Was making sure this log looks good and the car is running well. I'm running the aem intake with the boost pill still in. I have the UR test pipe with stock exhaust. Running the 91 octane ACN stage 2 map. I know it's boosting a little higher than target but that doesn't bother me =). Is there any other information I should be logging?

HKS Intake Funnel datalogs with Stage 1 OTS 93 Octane v3.01 map (normal wastegate)

BlownPSP — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 02:25:45 GMT

Hi all,

Just did datalogs with the HKS funnel that replaces the intake resonator. Filter is OEM with 10k miles and not abnormaly dirty. Otherwise all stock.

Let me know if the datalogs are fine or not :)

Concerning the Fine Knock Learning values I now have with all datalogs (minor learned corrections currently being applied
by the ECU as a product of historical noise, per Cobb definition), anyone can comment on the current values (their meaning bottom line)?

I shall post similar logs with a new filter shortly.
Note the intake temp is low because of outside temp being around 40deg.F

Forgot to say... all my Sport datalogs are showing a lean spot at 21xxRPM at WOT. Boost is near 0psig but is this not a bit lean for a WOT condition (15:1) ?

Many thanks!

Patrick

Catless downpipes and custom tune throwing codes.

mre1986 — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 22:38:12 GMT

I recently tried getting my car tune and they wouldnt do it till the intake valves were free of carbon which is fine, so they did that and tuned it got great numbers 384whp 465wtq. not an issue but the tried to put launch control on my car which actualy made my car feel like it was miss firing. explained to them that it wasnt working and made them make a normal map. that problem got fixed of course after I changed the plugs already. but now I have two codes that keep coming back which were not there before the tune.

P29F4
P29F5 cataltic conversion 2??

Are these important to get fixed? What are they? Is this from the tune or the seafoam they did after they cleaned the intake valves?

I got AFE intake, AR 3" catless Down Pipes, and the custom tune.

Its a 2008 BMW 335xi with 53000 miles.

p&ped td04?

flop — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 12:47:41 GMT

Hey kids. Well after much lurking and looking its time for a question... Im running a 06 wrx wagon 5 speed drop in filter, turbo inlet hose, invidia catless downpipe, Sti exhaust. However my work bench has a fully p&ped td04 waiting to be installed. Now with that being said do the guys from Cobb have any suggestions for mapping for this turbo? I'm already art stage 2 through my accessport but do I need any specific maps?
Thank you in advance.

Stage 2 boost targets?

tshrey — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 08:13:28 GMT

I put this question in the AccessPort Subaru forum, but I'm thinking that might be the wrong place.

I'm running the older Stage 2 OTS map (version1) because I liked the throttle mapping better for S#. I've made a couple changes to optimize it for my car (the 2800 rpm stumble).

Never really played with most of the tables in ATR, just looked at the Boost Target table. The map notes say 19.5 psi, but the boost target table goes up to 1.43 relative, which is 21 psi. What am I missing? My car does hit over 20 psi. Just trying to understand what is going on.

Running Stage 2 on Access Port without all the stage 2 parts? Gen 2

BolnodSpeed3 — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 22:24:26 GMT

Right now I have the Cobb SRi, Cobb TIH, TurboSmart Bi/BOV and of course the Access Port. Just for the heck of it I wanted to try the 91oct. stage 2 map to see what would happen considering I do not have an aftermakerk exhaust or the upgraded CDFP. What I noticed when I was monitoring my HPFP Act. Pressure that there was no spikes, did not drop below 493(around there) at idle and at WOT it stayed between the high 1700 to mid 1800 psi range. I know that this is not recommended for stage 2 but I did not notice anything alarming when I did my run. To me that make sense because I do not have an upgraded exhaust or a FMIC. Any thoughts on that ? However I did notice a major gain in power which was interesting as well...Boost stayed right around 17.5 PSI. Thanks guys

08 MazdaSpeed 3 Question

TrickerMS3 — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:07:44 GMT

How much WHP/WTQ can the Stock bottom and Top End handle before upgrading any internals... I switching to a ATP3076R (14+Wastegate) and have a few Bolt on's and fuel Pump internal upgrade.

Was trying to get a rough estimate on how much hp I could run safe with my set up. Any Suggestions on what else I should get for safe power gains above 400Whp?

I'm in Houston but i'll be making a trip to either Austin or Plano sometime after i finish all the Installations. Thanks

I have Full Exhaust Mani to Catback
Cobb Intake,TIP
HKS SSQ BOV
KMD Fuel Internals
All Upgraded Motor Mounts

Freddoyl — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 11:22:48 GMT

Hi,

I have an STI 2006 with Cobb DP and an AP2.

If I dont want to touch internals, what can modify to get more power, it's a DD car.

I was thinking of:

850cc injectors,
255 Walbro
KSTeck 73mm intake,
18GXT

Thanks,

Fred

Stage 2 boost targets?

tshrey — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 06:24:23 GMT

I'm still running V2 of the OTS maps, didn't like the throttle mapping when the V3 map came out. I've tuned the 2800 rpm stumble out perfectly with this map and made various other changes that make me really like it.

I never really dug into the map with ATR, just went to the tables I needed and made the changes I wanted (ie I made the throttle response of S the same as S# so I wouldn't have to twist the knob every time I got in the car). I finally started poking around in it and was looking at Boost Targets. The map notes say that peak boost is 19.5 psi. The boost target table has a max relative pressure of 1.43, which is 21 psi. Where is the 19.5 coming from?

Sorry if I'm asking a dumb question, just trying to understand.

Accessport V1

Jay2k11STi — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 17:05:27 GMT

To start off with, I know that the AP v1 has been EOL'd. I am curious if there is still a rebate available? I have the v1 on a 2004 WRX and I already purchased another AP V2 for my 2011 STi. I've recently purchased an FXT for my wife and she wants an AP as well. Would I be able to use the AP V1 to get a discount on another AP V2? If so, is there anything special I need to do to it before sending it in?

Thanks for you time!

Slow car on Stg0- WGDC reaches 0, low boost, not sure?

eljefe62 — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 20:49:19 GMT

Hi all,

Having some problems with my 2009. I have a protege garage intake and TIP, Corksport TMIC, and using the Stage 0 map (went back to this map because the stage 1 maps couldn't hit more than 12 psi). Now I'm barely seeing 7 psi, my WGDC is slowly reaching 0, and my Throttle position is not reaching 75% at upper RPMs. I'm really not sure what's going on here. I've got a boost leak tester on the way, so I'll be able to test for leaks soon.

Here's one log from today:

Thanks!

Underboosting slightly - log included

MindBlowin03 — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 20:04:16 GMT

2005 9-2x, mods in sig. This is Stage 2 HWG v310. Seems Im about 1-2psi under what I should be. No boost leaks and all maintenance has been taken care of. Should I start to adjust the WG arm until I hit target?

system lean cel

sw20matt — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 19:21:52 GMT

I got my car tuned by a reputable tuner using my accesstuner race program about 7 months ago. he forgot to delete the CEL's for my tgv's so I went back and did it myself. I have since been getting a system lean cel but when I watch my AFR it goes down to 11.1 (what he tuned it for) and up to 20.3. Is this the reason the CEL is coming on and can I just delete it or is there a bigger problem here?
