they need to hurry up on this, i cant wait

 

man they said they would come out with this thing a while back..but i think they stopped the experiment...thats what i heard...it would have been handy if they actually made it

 

you don't know what you're talking about so please stop spreading misinformation

 

My experiences with Cobb is that they are a great group of folks that deliver excellent, proven products. They also have a finite amount of energy and focus to spend developing products for a variety of cars, so product roll-outs can end-up being delayed at times. I think the best thing we can do is continue to show interest and support through the Cobb Mazda forum to let them know there is definitely an interest level worth supporting.

 

TeamRX8, do you work closely, or know the folks at Cobb?

 

I have the funds for this burning a hole in my pocket.
I'm as excited about this Accessport as I was for Gears Of War.

 

So what's the dilly yo? Is it coming or what?

 

its being worked on, last I read on their forum they have cracked it, but are now working on getting their tuner to "talk" with the ECU. They are also working on many other cars I believe, so it's going to take a while.

 

So long as it's being worked on, I can be patient.

So we all just need to be patient.

 

ya... I can't wait... It's the next thing on my list of engine upgrades until I somehow magically summon 10K...

I plan on doing several dyno runs before and after this AccessPORT, and with everything going too be done on my car within the week, I'm extremely curious too see the gains.

-ACT clutch/Prolite flywheel
-Agency Power pulley
-Agency Power exhaust
-RX8store.net's high flow cat
-K&N typhoon intake
-coolant mod? (i wonder if Accessport will do anything with that)

with all that done 10hp should be a minimum gain I'd think...

 

The AccessPort will allow you to change every single engine parameter, including when the fans come on and off

 

It's snake oil. It's not worth the time.

 

maybe if you live in chicago. in the south i assure you it in very worth it..

beers

 

thanks wafer! I guess I'll switch my coolant hose too a silicone one when I get that accessport... Having that cut in the coolant hose really nags me...

 

Not true, it will only allow you to change the parameters that they make available to you.

 

mother f*****

 

with the accessport, would i be able to get the RB flash and save it?

 

yes

 

You have to understand that somebody has to not only figure out what each line of code is, but also create the access software for it. This takes time and money. Having complete access to everything doesn't make sense from a cost-value relationship.

 

OK, maybe not ALL engine parameters, but most of them. Some of the uneccasary things won't be covered, but most will. And I'm almost possitive you will be able to change when the cooling fans come on and off

 

will i be able to raise the rev limiter?

any news as to when it will be released?

 

Why would you want to do that? Power is already falling off before redline as it should. Raising the rev limited isn't going to do anything for power or performance. If you did raise it and changed nothing else and tried to shift higher, you'd find that you are actually slower. Leave it alone. More is not always better and in most cases isn't.

 

I was out on Cobbs website the other day and noted in the products section that they are listing the Access Port for the RX8 for a spring 2007 availability. I left my two cents on the forum and then the next day I called Cobb to check status and the guy I spoke with confirmed that it was still on track for a spring 2007 release. I have been holding-back on getting the RB flash hoping that the AP would get released. It looks like it may have been worth the wait.

 

Not quite true if you alter the AFR mixture up top...
