I have been doing research for a while and am looking into different options for tuning. Just looking for some input and opinions. I was looking at the osiris but I dont have a laptop so id have to buy that too. possibly greddy emanage because ive had some experience tuning it before, and also looking into safc2. I like the tuning method for osiris because it is effortless. The greddy emanage is also good but is harder to tune, and I also like the safc because it can be easily tuned on the fly.

anyone have any opinions on the 3? best bang for the buck etc. also I am confused about the safc because there are many confilcting reports of whether it actually works with our cars or not.

I am leaning towards the safc2 though because I dont have a laptop and its easier to tune than emanage. if not though then possibly emanage ultimate. then osiris last because id have to buy a laptop.

I have an 03 5at coupe
mods:
ztube
greddy drop in filter
skunk2 5/8 spacer
xerd headers(full longtube, no cats)
3" y-pipe
and custom 3" piping to 3" HKS muffler

also are there any other N/A mods you'd recommend for now?

 

I dont think its a good idea when someone tunes their car own car unless they are a certified professional tuner.....anything can go wrong...but with NA mods I suggest a re-flash (osiris etc.) STAY AWAY from Greddy E-Manage, it will do you no good, no if buts how what NO! E-Manage is a no no and has been proven bad many times..

 

Cobb AccessPort. Just download the pre programed tune to the programmer, connect to the OBD2 port and downloand to your car. Pre made tunes that are free to download. If you want you can also have a custom tune done for you by a dealer. It also saves your factory tune in case you need warranty work done.

The accessport looks good too. What is the difference between that and osiris? And what can accessport do as far as tuning?

 

The accessPort has a screen where you can see what is going on. Other than that I do not know.
From Cobbs website:
Currently we are in the initial development and testing stages of the AccessPORT for the 350Z and G35. We can use this thread to post updates about development, and so you can ask questions or give suggestions on how we can make the AccessPORT better.

What is the AccessPORT?
The COBB AccessPORT is a handheld programmer used to upload pre-programmed maps to the ECU via the OBD-II port in a matter of minutes. No cutting, wiring, or other modification is required. Once the data has been uploaded, you can disconnect the AccessPORT and your tuned data stays on the ECU. Or, you can leave it connected and use the AccessPORT as a digital display for engine parameters.

In addition, you can connect the AccessPORT to your PC (Windows, Mac, or Linux) and stay up to date with the latest calibrations by downloading them from our website. (USB required)

The quick feature list is:
Reprogram factory ECU (Engine Control Unit) with tuned data
Maintains factory ECU capabilities and safety features providing completely seamless functionality
Realtime modification of tuned data
Realtime log display of engine parameters (air/fuel ratio, ignition, etc)
Read engine trouble codes and display
Comes with prepackaged stage and convenience maps
Upgrade to custom-tuned map through authorized AccessPORT ProTUNER
Load custom tuning data for your specific vehicle and modifications provided by an authorized AccessPORT ProTUNER or upgrade to the StreetTUNER package for do-it-yourself tuning
Uninstall ability that reverts back to 100% stock map that was on your ECU originally
Measure 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile times
Currently we expect to have support for all year model 350Z and G35 and will be providing the ProTUNER tuning software to other Z/G specialist so those of you that want custom tuning (ie: turbo kits, etc) can do so with the AccessPORT.

 

I have a question, I'm planning to buy an 03 or 04 G35 Sedan. I read from the cobb website that the G35 AP is not compatible with the 03 or 04 Sedan model. Is there going to be one for those models or can the 350Z version be used?

 

No, the accessport is vehicle specific. The firmware is totally different.

 

Anybody know where you can get custom maps for the Cobb AP tuner?

 

You will not see any custom maps until Cobb offers the street tuner or pro tuner software. Even then, you will have to get it custom tune by someone who offer the services.

 

whichever program u choose, have it done by a professional. Post this question to ur regional section and see who the locals recommend.

 

i didnt want to start a new thread cuz my question is similar... so i have a 2004 g35 5AT with i/e... what other n/a should i look into? headers and cams etc...
thanks
