DAMN!! Beat me to it^^^^


yeah if you gots jeff's maps you will burn more oil... he did that VERY MUCH on purpose....

 

LOL Strong with you the Force is.

 

ohh know.. not a happy apex seal...... Im shooting for 200k ... who thinks ill make it? haha

 

Jeff, when you get back would you please comment on the new firmware and what it does exactly??

 

isn't it listed on cobb's site?

 

found it:

The Firmware update 1.2.6.6 features the following:

- Added 'Uninstall' confirmation screen
- Improved 'Live Data' speed



The Firmware update 1.2.6.4 features the following:

- Shift light function added to live data
- Various usability improvements including re-ordered main menu
- Fuel economy accuracy improved
- Recover from key-off event during live data

** This is Beta firmware **

So what happens if you want to return it to "stock" before you take the car in for service at the dealer? It goes back to a pre-MSP16 state?

 

It goes back to whatever flash you had on the car prior to installing the AccessPort. So if you had MSP16 done, then you'd have that, if not, then no.

 

Ok, thanks.

 

Please stop saying the car burns oil. It sounds like it is faulty.

It uses oil for the seals not burn it like sloppin pistons.

Does a motorcycle chain burn oil?

 

if you set it on fire it does lol

 

Oh! I stand corrected.

Your APEX seals are on fire!

They're burning oil.

 

my car loves to burn oil.

 

Jedi, those are for the previous versions. The lastest one is 1.2.6.11

 

i can re-affirm mysql's previous observations. the ECUExplorer is not configured for the RX-8, or any Mazda.

i know that Cobb prolly has bigger fish to fry, especially with the StreetTuner software and its datalogging capabilities. but i still think there may be a substantial collective desire for an open source freeware datalogging.

if you would like to eventually see this, make it known on the Cobb forum here:

So if something wrong happens with a flash, like a bad file, or it gets freak disconnected or so, what happens exactly? Still haven't seen it answered

 

Jeff was forced to test the PCM recovery functionality of the AP a long time ago. He had no issues recovering from bad scenarios, pulling the plug while flashing etc..

 

Cool. Was probably a weird question. I'm just a technical kind of guy, need to know it all I'll be ordering one of these when I get my car if it's possible.

 

Ah ha! I'd gotten used to our late night (late here atleast ) email exchanges and was wondering where you'd disappeared to. Hope all is well.

You've got a couple emails from me with updates. Looking foward to hearing back from you next steps wise. I made up to page 40 in this thread, couldn't take it any more, and jumped to the last page.

does the cobbAP software work with a mac?

thanks, Nick

 

There is a beta version out that you can download from the cobb forums. From what I've tried, it works on Intel macs, but not PPC ones. Also, the firmware update feature does not work yet.

 

Has anyone dyno'd this? mazsport ignition + mazsport midpipe + cobb AP?

Is it now safe to use the ignition and AP together?

THANKS!
Bill

 

no more or less than it was before. only difference is now its KNOWN that the mazsport coils have different dwell characteristics. as long as you AP maps are setup with this in mind you are good to go. Being NA / FI also has some impact on coil dwell setting adjustments. its entirely possible that you dont need to have the coil's dwell changed. those answers are somewhere in this thread as well as the ignition thread

 

anyone know whats happened since version 1.2.6.6???
