all you get from Cobb is an AT map with factory programming so no, there is not any magical performance change

Unless you know how to tune it you are not likely to see any gain at all.

 

I could use some help with my Cobb. I bought in from a local with an 04 AT mine is an 05 I can't get any maps to flash which from what I understand it is because they are for an 04 and not my 05 (let me know if I'm wrong) What I don't get is why I can't marry/install it to my car why is that?

 

are you sure it was unmarried? who did you get it from?

 

I got it from Glenn. When I go too the about screen it is not linked to a car and it the status reads uninstalled.

 

weird. maybe you are missing a step,

watch this

MazdaManic.com - AccessPORT Installation

 

It's not a JDM model or something is it?

 

Nope. It identify that my car is a usdm rx8 AT fed

 

I got the Cobb married to my 8 so now all I wan it the stage 1 map

 

All of the answers are in this thread if you can read and comprehend English

 

Umm... Yeah I got that. I just wanted an answer to why I couldn't get the AP to install. It all figured out now though thanks for your help.

 

jeremy, you can download the maps from Cobbs website

 

They won't work an the auto

 

I have one right now for my mazda and i got it from mazdamaniac.com he sells the accessport and the tune for the automatic rx8.

 

please read the thread

 

the answers are here, we already discussed it in detail in this thread so all you have to do is read up

unless you're trying to tell me that giving you all the info in the thread isn't good enough, that we also need to hand feed you grapes from a silver bowl ...

 

Not saying that at all. My response was serious, I read the thread in its entirety when I got home since I hated trying to read it mobile.

 

Had my Motor rebuilt by Pettit, Street Port etc.. Then my mechanic cleaned out the stock Cat of that nasty stuff That creates back pressure.... It was throwing miss fire codes even though it was running fine.. Installed the Cobb, re mapped the ECU.. No misfire codes, no issues so far, the AT is never going to be fast.. Unless you turbo or supercharge it, but it's much quicker than stock now.. .. Dreaming of a turbo now.

 

Just got by first tune by MM two days ago!
Got the redline bumped, codes erased, and you can watch a quick first gear pull here

I got an 07 as well did it make a difference for ya? And how's your torque converter feeling.

 

Lol torque on auto is one big flatline.

 

Flatline as in DEAD!

Isn't that usual on rotary.

 

And is particularly the case on the auto. i've got far too many dyno sheets to illustrate it.

 

Any dyno runs with Cobb app to see a power increase with the higher rpm

 

there is no power increase on an NA ... power flatlines too... even drops off a bit.
