Another stupid question...

I downloaded the accessport race a while back... Can I install it too? or will that screwup MM's stuff?

 

You can install the AP Race but you will not be able to modify the MM maps.

 

cool... thats fine... i am by no means a tuner, just a tinkerer... I'll leave that job to MM, thats why I bought from him.

 

Cool, got my AP a couple days earlier than delivery estimate. Win.

Also got an automated email from MM with idiot proof step by step instructions. The man knows how to be efficient. We shall see how my Int-X / AccessPort combo works out soon.

 

Hey, Raleigh I ordered mine the 19th of march and got it the 3rd of April!

 

Cool, Thanks. I got the Email from Jeff about the new downloads, so I know it will be coming soon

 

New logs sent!

 

Got em. Thanks. MM should get back to you in a few days. He will be traveling for work this week so there may be some delay.

Kind regards,
Sean

 

Welcome aboard Sean! Glad you're here to assist all of the wonderful accessport customers.

 

First Logs sent!

I know MM says that the base maps dont give any HP gains, but man, i would swear its running better with them....

 

when you flash the car, it resets the fuel trims so that might be what's causing you to 'feel' a difference.
Butt dyno FTW. Just wait till you get your updated maps, mine's a whole new car after Jeff's tuning

 

WHen did you send them and to what address? I don't see an email from you yet.

 

Nevermind, I just got it.

 

Sean, just curious if you have any idea when my AP might ship? I ordered it on the 30th

 

I do not know right at the moment. Until Jeff gets back at the end of the week I will not have any info. Sorry, I am just coming on board and I don't yet have all of the info. I hope to get everything straight by next week. I will say that normal ship time is about 2 weeks as Jeff has to order the AP from Cobb and then ship it to you once he gets it.

Is there any ideas out there what the various idle maps do in the AP?

I suppose there are in gear, in gear with clutch engaged, reverse gear, neutral, and some other things -sigh-

 

Thanks for your help, I have a lean CEL and I am anxious to get rid of it, I need to find out if it is actually running lean or if it is an error in the ECU, or a bad sensor

 

Just as a curiosity: If a new AP firmware comes out and I am partway in the tuning process. Is it OK to upgrade to latest AP firmware or should you use the firmware you started the process with?

Is there any way to detect if a map from Jeff is made for another firmware than the one I'm using?

Is there a version dependency between the maps and the AP firmware?

This is all hypothetical, I would just like to know in case the scenario comes up.

 

There is no reason to worry about your version in regards to the tuning process. The best thing to do is make sure anytime you're doing logs or getting a calibration to make sure you're running the most up to date firmware.

The firmware versions are different than the versions of the pro-tuner. Even if you knew the version it wouldn't be any useful information.

 

My understanding is they are for various gears or operating conditions. I've normally just set my idle value the same for all the tables.

 

so something like 860 rpm at operating temp on all the idle maps would work?? sweet

 

SWWWEEETTT! My AP shipped today! can't wait!

 

I am trying to decide if I should get an accessport. My main issue is that I have the Mazdaspeed Dual Muffler exhaust and it pops a lot. I was wondering if with the accessport tuning, it will maybe do less popping? I understand the car runs rich (maybe even more here in california).. so the accessport would lean it a bit and there should be less unburnt fuel going in the exhaust? So this should fix a lot of the popping?

 

In theory, yes, a little. Just to check- it's only popping at high RPM's once the engine/exhaust is really hot, correct? It shouldn't really be "popping" under other circumstances...

 

Yes, it mainly pops at high rpms though sometimes when the car mid-warm or warm, it will pop around 6k rpms. Sometimes it will pop if I rev while clutched in... releasing around 4k rpms. It probably is ok

I understand the car was designed for it, so I know it will continue doing so. I just feel it interrupts such a nice sound

Thanks for the response.

Anyways, don't want to derail the thread so much. I guess it won't help much... think I'll get it in june or july.
