has anyone installed cobb accessport? Is it worth the money? and what power gains? if anyone has installed one please reply. thank you

 

My buddy has one on his WRX and its def a nice tool to have if your boosted. I heard cobb discontinued support for the G and Z but im not sure if thats true. Im going to be doing an open source tune coming up in may

 

i have one forsale, pm me for info if ur interested!

 

Be careful about buying one second hand. The unit is mated to the car it is installed on. You have to pay for another license (I think they are $300) to use it on another car.

 

mine is "unmarried" so that means unistalled from previous car!!!

 

I dunno if rly will give NEAR as good of gains as it does on the STI/WRX... My friend had one on his subie...and it was a night and day difference. But that is a BOOSTED motor.

 

Get the Cobb, then get the Cobb Custom Tune, forget the pre-loaded maps, once tune you'll feel the difference most definitely.

 

i'd like to buy one of these but i dont want to waste the money in there is anything better on the market for about the same price. im not planning on going FI. how and where do i get the cobb custom tune and maybe a ball park estimate of what that would cost?

 

Osiris Standard is similar priced with far better reviews.

 

UpRev > Cobb I want my g37 osiris!!! lol

 

The Cobb Access Port is a great tool. Convenient for many.

But I have not seen any reflashes to date that can match the potential of the UpRev Osiris.

The Cobb Accessport is a popular mod for the G37 guys since its been one of the first to have support for the VQ37VHR. But once UpRev has 100% support for the VQ35HR/VQ37VHR, its game over for those other guys

 

Soon. John is at GTM right now getting the G37 and 370Z stuff going. Hopefully within a month we'll have software out to our Pro Tuners so they can get going on it.

 

Not possible. Unlike the G37, the G35 maps do not work, and there hasn't been any tuning software released. "Soon" has been their mantra for over 6 months.

No software, no custom tune.

 

Yes. No gains, the rev limiter raise does not work on the VQ35DE's, there is not currently any software released for tuning with the G35 COBB AP.

My car stalls on throttle lift, runs too rich with the Stage 2, 2+ maps, runs too lean with Stage 1, I have to restore my OEM map, ditch the AP and start over. My best local COBB expert can't tune it due to lack of software (not released by COBB even though announced 12 months ago).

Check their forums, don't buy the product, period. I cannot find a single person with gains or even a postitive thing to say about their use of COBB AP on their G35. I have plenty of company, too.

Also don't get excited about reading your AFR, the 03-04 to 04.5 did not include the wideband O2 sensors needed for the AP to pick it up.

COBB knows Subies cold, but read the following, they don't have Nissan down at all:

So...let's see...Z/G software dates on notes a 4/08/2008, GT-R released last Summer. Let me check...oh yeah, a steady stream of updates and maps from 07/08 to the present day. So who, if anyone, has REALLY been working on the Z/G software with any real priority? (Hypothetical question)

I can see, given what, there are about 2000 GT-R's USDM, and only 40,000 G35's and about 100,000 350Z's out there.

Sounds like someone wanted a "Prestige" offering to show how clever COBB is that they can handle the GT-R.

THINK ABOUT IT - if during all this time given the incredible complexity of a GT-R, nothing has moved forward for the VQ35 software or maps, has anyone really put any serious priority on it? (Obvious answer, results speak for themselves).

Sorry Joe, it just doesn't ring true when for months and months I see posts saying "we're working on it" and instead I see probably the same resources releasing GT-R maps and for certain the same person (you) working on GT-R software.

I'll be looking for that refund, this is bogus. The rev limiter does not work, that's grounds enough for returning the product as false advertising. As if the fact my car is undriveable with any of the current base maps isn't enough, and it cannot be fixed due to lack of software by a tuner.

Someone managing resources put their priorities elsewhere, that's obvious. Then tell someone to keep saying "soon" for a product does not work, no software.

What I don't understand is why a business would risk their good name pissing off such a large and vocal owner group as 350z/G35 owners with a defective product and no software, that does not deliver as promised.

People who buy G35/G37 Coupes look pretty closely at GT-R's. When I eventually get mine, it will never have anything COBB on it. If I buy one of either the '04-06 MY STi's I've been looking at, I'd still throw out one of the best solutions out there - COBB - because I don't trust the name, not now, period.

Don't rush on my account, I will be doing my damnedest to return the AP for a refund.

 

It's great for Subies, it is a nightmare for G35 owners. No resources allocated, no software, don't even think about it if you have a VQ35DE.

To be fair with COBB this is where things stand today:

1) Software has been released for tuning
2) Rev Limit issue is resolved
3) Support has improved a lot

I won't touch any discussion of which approach is better COBB vs. product A or B, just do your research and draw your own conclusions. Also remember 2003/2004 you lack the wideband O2 sensor so keep that in mind for any tuning solution, consider getting one.
