Save your money bud, this thing is not for us here

Their AP work only with US spec cars (cuz I tried it before on ME spec cars) excluding the GTR as they already have a tune for the ME spec GTR

depends how different the ECU parameters are. Some cars both USDM and GCC spec cars are cobb-friendly. You may contact MC-performance in Jedda once their product is out to check for compatibility.

Ill be happy with just the ability to custom tune!! 5WHP would be great specially if it gets rid of the nasty power line the car comes with from the factory.

I had an Accessport on my 06 Si until they dropped it from their product line and left the Si customers out to dry. Many of the them were waiting for them to develop forced induction maps and such. Then we were all stuck with a $500 dollar paperweight. Last time I will ever buy anything from cobb.

They dropped all naturally aspirated cars. People just weren't buying the products because they didn't want to pay $500 for something that was going to net them 10 hp.

I doubt they would have ever made off the shelf maps for FI civics or any other NA cars as that would be incredible risky. People would have been blowing shit up left and right, and blaming Cobb for "unsafe" tunes. Regardless if the owner takes responsibility in putting the map on the car..

Probably every one of the vocal complaints would have said it was right after they put on the Cobb product that they blew something up. When in reality it because the map they were using wasn't compatible with the other hardware on the car.

If Cobb put in the effort that Visconti tuning is putting in - they'd have a product worth the $500+

dunphyjp · 08-13-2012, 05:28 PM

considering i still have my CobbAccessPORT from my MINI Cooper S R56 tuning days, i'm curious to see what they come up with

And yet people are jumping in line for a $750-950 tune with no on the fly change capabilities.

How does an NA tune differ from a FI tune if the tuner knows all the parts installed up front? Serious question.

No on the fly switching ?

Have you been following any of my threads....?

NA and FI tune are much much different. This computer has some funky fuel control tables in it

Btw I'm all for more than one factory computer tuning option !

The more options there are the better things will get for the customer
