Gauging interest: Cobb tuning V2

[USAF11WRX]

I have a Cobb Tuning V2 collecting dust. I know this is old technology but Cobb has done swaps for a V3 at a discounted price if you trade in your old one. Is anyone interested? I already have the V3 so I do not need to exchange.

If anyone is interested I would be happy to let this go for 30 quid and pay shipping if it is reasonable.

Not many people use then here,does it flash generic maps or can you write them on pc and flash ?

I found this information down here.

No cutting, wiring or soldering! Simple plug-and-play functionality via the OBD-II diagnostic port! ... The Cobb AccessPORT is the ultimate personal tuning solution for your 08-14 Subaru WRX . Reprogram your vehicle's computer (ECU) by selecting one of the pre-installed performance "maps" that automatically optimize settings such as the air/fuel ratio, ignition timing, boost and more... for performance results you can instantly feel! These pre-installed maps are also refered to as "off-the-shelf" (OTS) base maps. Pre-loaded are stage 1 (stock car) & stage 2 (turboback exhaust) maps. These OTS maps recalibrate the appropriate sensors and modify tables with more aggressive settings. The result is increased power output, improved response and better driveability, since all of the components are working together in harmony.

However, your not limited to just the stage 1 & stage 2 maps. The beauty of the AccessPORT is that it can continue to grow with additional modifications beyond the scope of the OTS maps. For more extreme modifications, Cobb Tuning AccessTUNER software can be used (via laptop) to create custom tuned maps that match all of your modifications perfectly. Cobb's extensive network of professional tuners are available to custom dyno tune "Pro-Tune" any modification configuration. For those that want to take on the challenge of tuning their own vehicle, AccessTUNER Race is downloadable software with all of the tuning capabilities as used by Cobb Tuner professionals.

However, the AccessPORT is so much more than just a reflash device. It allows you to monitor your fuel economy (average and real time), perform performance tests in order to estimate your 0-60mph and 1/4 mile time, read and decipher ECU trouble codes (CELs), and monitor live data via the OEM vehicle sensors which eliminates the need for costly aftermarket gauges. Features are listed below...

Base Map Power Gains:

2008 WRX (2.5L)

Stage1: +9% HP/ +10% LB. FT (stock car - no other modifications)
Stage2: +13% HP/ +14% LB. FT (requires Turboback exhaust)

2009-14 WRX (2.5L)
Stage1: +13% HP/ +17% LB. FT (stock car - no other modifications)
Stage2: +15% HP/ +24% LB. FT (requires Turboback exhaust)

Would this work on my UK 2006 wrx? Also are you limited to stock map or turbo back or can it allow for other modifications. Not looking for anything crazy just running a full turbo back with sports cat and panel filter/plugs.

i look't at these a while ago,from what i could gather their no good for the uk as they are programmed for usa fuel and the maps are USDM only,never heard or seen anyone in uk using one 

[USAF11WRX]

Thank you for the help. I was    trying to figure out if it would be any good after this person asked.

[JonHak]

Cheers for the feedback, don't want to take any chances when it comes to mapping 

[aucky]

Shame really as see lots people asking about them in uk.if cobb branched out to other countrys think they would do well.i would get 1 if price was right.

I wanted one of these but they don't support the uk cars :-(

[USAF11WRX]

I really hate that no one here can use this. It would have been an easy way for a cheap upgrade. Bummer. Thank you for all of the good information.

If you went the the whole hog and did the access tune bit you'd be able to map on the dyno with this and a laptop, but I don't know of anyone in the UK that uses these apart from gtr owners before syvecs and others became available, seen some foucs st owners talking about them too,

The general consensus is the 'best way' to map subaru here is full live mapping,

How much does the flash map take into account for the different ron fuel ?
