Promoted to front page, thanks for the heads up mazdaspeed6.

I would try this in my 135, why not

Because the JB4 and Procede exist?

I'm wondering what niche this is going to occupy as GIAC already has a bit of a following in the flash area. I think this is promising though, we will see what they do on race and where they can take it.

Quotes from other site:

The Cobb AccessPORT (AP) contains more than one map. As of now it contains Stock, Stg1 91 Octane, Stg1 93 Octane, and a Valet map. As we release maps for more heavily modified cars they can be added to the AP at any point and flashed in ~60 seconds anywhere (Think the gas pump). We are planning to support maps up though the most common bolt-ons and potentially for some turbo kits.

The AP as of now has a built in shift light, gauges, data logging, 0-60 and 1/4 times, read and clear DTCs, and reseting of the ecu. More features are planned in the future as we further develop support for the platform.

Integrating meth fail safes into our product is not currently available, but we will be adding it in the future.

The AP has a Recovery Mode which can continue the flash in the event a cable is pulled or some other catastrophic event that may happen during a flash. There is little worry of hurting the ECU.

Tuning software in the form of AccessTuner Pro (For qualified tuners with a dyno available) and AccessTuner Race (End-user custom tuning) are on the way.

if you ask me thats too much boost for a stock car. yeah you hit those numbers first 3rd pull but you will heatsoak straight away. Seems they are trying to show high numbers straight away with aggressive calibration to win customers.
Might be they will lower on newer map the boost calibration .

I think you are correct.

They know they are going up against a piggy dominated market so they need to show something to get some attention for this.

I would like to see the Cobb 91 octane tune for the Giac 91 octane tune, likely a wash.

is it mean that jb and procede game is over all now buys cobb?

Why would you think this would mean JB and Procede game would be over and everyone would switch to this?

Cobb has a lot to prove before they can be on the level of the upper end performance that the piggy's offer. They are just getting started...

okay i am worried about which to buy cobb or vishnu or jb4

I would lean toward either the JB4 or Procede for now until I see something from Cobb to convince me otherwise.

and i have european based car i red that they dont support it

You mean Cobb doesn't support it? Why wouldn't it support European N54's?

i red somewhere in other forum that at the moment they dont support eu models ecu

This is likely just initially, I would not doubt they would be able to support EU models later and it is the same physical ECU.

later maybe but not now:

Def interesting, didnt expect them to go this agressive, but they def. have to fill in big shoes... Of course they have to go hard or go home, if they come out with low numbers no1 is gonna take them serious.

I think piggys have too much of an advantage over flashes for me to go with them

So no one has done a full bolt-on with this yet? .. how can everyone be so sure that this is not the best flash ever? lol not saying that it is.

hello custom kits and tuning in the near future. sick.

Sounds like they already have a good strategy set up. I like the 0-60 and 1/4 timers built into the software. The flashing speed is also very quick. The N54 market is becoming more and more interesting every day!

Thanks for the post!
