LMAO! Is it wierd that that actually sounds fun to me ?

 

Lol, that would certainly play into the "go slower to go faster" philosophy


.

 

Because it is a fact the stage 1 map is screwed up as it works on nobodies car? As for the second part, it was suggested as a possibility and not a fact?

i posted evidence that it works fine on my car albeit a bit rich. but apparently my map is different. I'll need to check that though. .

 

You have a 2007 so its unknown whether your map has the same problem. I'd appreciate your fuel map and a log though.

Do you guys think its worth it running Stage 1 at the track, and the stock tune for daily driving?

 

You would be better doing the reverse...

The odds of killing the engine are way higher on the track than on the street

If you are going to go through the trouble of getting a COBB...get it tuned......otherwise spend the money on gas

 

Never mind ill just use the AccessPort for the other things it offers, until i can spend the money to buy the custom tunes from MazdaManiac.

 

What does it do without a custom tune or map??


If you don't load a custom map it basically is an expensive scanner and datalogger

 

I mean I already bought it so i'm stuck now, but it does have some cool features like.............................................. .Valet mode, lol.

I was hoping there tune would have been alot better.

Maybe ill try and tune it my self, but I will have to do alot of research.

Any quick tips for tuning, or will I be getting in over my head.

 

Honestly.....pay Jeff the money he wants and get him to tune it...

Or talk to Kane...and learn how to DIY

Or talk to Brice...I think he has a tuner who might be tuning remotely as well...

Don't expect it to be super easy to do..and the learning curve is steep....but it is do-able if you do your homework

 

I have been running my Cobb Stage 1 on my car and it is 14.6 at idle and 11-12.5 at WOT.

I have ran this map on both of my 8's with no problem. I get 220 miles to a tank.

 

So, it is effectively doing absolutely nothing.
Excellent.

 

LoL! Classic!
I love this forum

I ran the Cobb stage 1 a couple of times and it was lean on top end. Many people have reported the samething. Butt I'm not stock and so are alot of others.

A different intake/exaust will make it run leaner per Cobb.

No biggy.. Cobb claims its for stock only.

 

I agree. It is excellent. Doing nothing is also doing nothing bad. When I want it to do good, then you are the man for it.

@Razz - some maps of other people had a really weird section of the map where it was running extremely lean at high loads and high rpms. Of course, modifications that increase airflow would exacerbate that, but a major issue was also the map.

 

That's a pretty expensive placebo.
I'm fairly certain he thought it was doing something, judging from the authority with which he asserted his lambda numbers.

 

Depends on the price the placebo was gotten at.

I suppose so. The thread went far over my head (and probably his) head on how the system works; all I know is that his map was much different than mine.

 

I've been holding out on my MM subscribtion. After reading this as soon as I get my cat gone and my BHR ignition. I'm getting my tune. This is insane!!!

 

Hey guys, another question.

Is the "Stock Style Mode" from Cobb an exact replica of our stock ECU,Or is there a difference ?

 

Its an exact copy of the stock calibration.
The only difference from uninstalling is that the AP is still "married" to your car and the dealership cannot flash over it likewise.

 

Thanks man,
Sean

 

Sorry, but I have another question.

Is it a replica of the newer flash from mazda or the old one.

Thanks,
Sean

 

What do you mean by "newer"?
The newest flash from Mazda is almost two years old and is the same one used by Cobb as the basis for the calibration set.

Why do people ask that question? Who cares what the base Mazda calibration is if you are going to tune the car?

 

Yeah, Your right.

I just wanted to make sure, cause ill be running the stock tune for a month or so before
I purchase your tunes.

Thanks again,
Sean
