cobb access port question

[BluMicaR]

Is SU the only place that you can order Cobb ap from or can Ken get it?

I tried posting in the PG thread but nobody's listening...

Gawd, now it's out, but the notes say:
"YOU MUST USE THE COBB SF INTAKE SYSTEM ONLY. NO OTHER AFTERMARKET INTAKES ARE CERTIFIED COMPATIBLE WITH THIS CALIBRATION. THE INSTALLATION OF ANY OTHER HARDWARE SUCH AS AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD OR CATLESS EXHAUST MAY ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO RUN LEANER THAN DESIRED, WHICH CAN CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE."

Curses and drat!!(rant)

dude they had to just add that beacuse i was looking at theat 1 hour ago

It "may" cause damage. Then again, our ECU is really adaptive and it may run fine and generate lots of power. They just haven't tested it with a catless exhaust or with an exhaust manifold. There's an MS6 guy running GT35 turbo with stock ECU! (wow)

How soon you think before they release some 93octane maps? I'm going Stage 1+Intake and i live in jersey where 93 is readily available. If subaru's can get 93 tunes than so should we Hopefully they get on releasing the 93 maps soon!

In case nobody has seen yet, you can now order it from cobbtuning.com.

Not sure how long...they just needed to finalize some testing on it I think. It's not like they havent even started testing iwth 93 or anything.

 

[squabbin]

The sooner the better!

i think i remember seeing that there wasnt any real gains for 93 over 91 with our car to make it worthwhile at least that was my take on it.

Yeah I just got off the phone with Chris over at Cobb and asked him about the 93' maps and if they are going to be made available. From what he said it looks like the turbo is pretty much maxed out with the 91 map and he said after the initial release that they will be looking into possibly making some minor timing tweaks with the 93 octane and may or may not release those maps depending on if those tweaks actually net any improvments.

whats mid grade? 89 octance? That would be great if its was 91 cuz then we could start buying cheaper gas which we all know is gettin crazy! Something tells me its 89 though...havnt used it in a couple years so i stopped paying attention.

Umm Mid-Grade is 89 which is fine to use if u dont mind ruining your motor. These cars are designed to run on nothing lower than 91, theres actually a thread around here somewhere about a guy who bought his MS3 from the dealer and they had apparently accidently put regular in it. It spend the next week or so getting fixed from all the dmg it had caused.

I was asking cuz i wasnt sure what mid grade was being that we down here in south florida have 93 for supreme and it would be nice to get a break on fuel. In no circumstance is the 89 usable on this car being the manual says so and that its a turbo charged vehicle. The only damage that will be caused from the regular gas is detonation to the pistons/rods which of course only happens if you drive it hard and push the turbo into boost. You can run a full tank of regular gas with no problems as long as you stay out of boost. Thats why the kids car got jacked up, not becuse there was regular gas runnin through the thing.

Yeah but be that as it may I still want to maintain the appearance in any shallow gesture of trying to maintain some level of warrantiness. Especially how I like to get on it in my car, last thing I need is to boom my engine. It's my DD. Soon I think I'm going to look at fricking motor scooters though, stupid gas.

They need a 98 octane map, thats Super Plus here in Germany.

 

[Shane5425]

HA, thats pretty much racing fuel over here... not a chance they will make a map for that..

 

[aaronc7]

I thought the octane rating method/procedure was different?

mid is what, 20 cents cheaper per gallon? do you want to risk it to save $3 on a fill up that costs over $50? not worth it if you ask me.

Ah your right Wikipedia explained it. So I guess its about the same as 93-94 in the states.
I have seen some 100 though, at stations on the autobahn, so thats like 95-96 in the states.

 

[sleeper3]

we have 100 octane fuel at BP stations or something here... and 100 lowlead at the airport if you want to go nuts. or 110 at the drag strip but it's got to be close to $10 a gallon by now.

 

[dkswim]

100LL is funny beacuse it contains more lead then the 70s leded gas. stupid LL but hay its officialy been released
