cobb access port question

[sleeper3]

695 would be a great price for a complete tuning tool. unfortunately, they're going to want like $400 more for the software when they release it a year from now.

I have lots of other stuff I'd like to spend $1100 on.

I wish everyone wasn't in line to bend over for this thing. I want to hear honest reports of what it does for people's cars after they're on. I don't think I am going to see that here.

+1 all i been hearing is cobb this for SO ******* long and the thing comes out and u get 20whp.....i want to see results from people who buy it

400 more for what??

a dashhawk for datalogging

 

[xandrake]

gah, or software....why the **** doesn't the edit button work on these forums anymore?

 

[sleeper3]

oh yeah you need the dashhawk also for datalogging. so lets make it $1350 for the complete setup. That is stupid.

I've been trying to give companies $1100 for a PNP/no cut tuning solution since this time last year. No one wants it!

 

[sleeper3]

if the access port came tunable with computer software and some basic maps as well as the ability to log runs, I would be ALL over it.


SA AP for me. gotta improve that 60' time.

i mean, sleeper3, if you can pull a 13.5 with out it, i thnk you could easilly get low 13s with ap, with the added torque lower, if you get traction ... but i do agree, they need the software to do custom tunes out alot sooner.

 

[wisniaPl]

you can just run with ap....they gona buy couple maps...

 

[sleeper3]

uh, as I said before, low end torque isn't going to help me a WHOLE lot at the track. maybe a tiny bit with the launch, but I have trouble not spinning all day as she sits. I definitely don't see a $700 benifit with this thing.

i ordered xede last night, i think this is a better tunning solution, cost a lil more but i think in the long run the results ill get will more then make up for the xtra cash

I was gunho about the Exede when I first got my MS3... But after being on the forums a while, I don't know if thats the best solution...

How does Xede affect things like Dashhawk...?
If you set the boost to 18PSI using Xede, will the Dashhawk relfect the change? How do you keep tabs on what your engine is doing?

I want to find a way to increase boost with out using a mechanic device; eg MBC...

Post a new thread on how the Xede is working out for you. Have you ever done tuning before? I wonder how hard the learning curve is for fist timers. Did you get a PnP or hard wire?

just ordered fella lol prolly be here in the next 2 weeks, and yes i did get the plug and play harness, ill start a new thread w/ install pics and stuff when me and liquid_ag put it on along w/ a video of start up and all that good stuff, and this will be my first car w/ em so we will c wat we end up w/ (yippy)

 

[sleeper3]

the dashhawk shows what the ECU sees. since the xcede is intercepting signals from EVERYTHING, the dashhawk is useless. you'd need a wideband O2 sensor for certain just to make sure that you're not leaning it out too much.

(bang) that was what I was afraid of... (sad2)

I thought they xceed was plug and play naturally. why do you need the extra harness?

No, BEGi only had half of the harness...they still needed the Mazda side of the harnesses... I didn't know they finally released the PnP capability...

Here is a quote from BEGi's website:

**Right now, the plug 'n play harness is not available for the MS3. We are have some connectors custom molded. 2/26/8 **

 

[sleeper3]

well PG has their harness coupler that you can use so that you don't have to splice into the factory wires.
