@thatoneguy454c 2 жыл бұрын

I'm running stage 2 Plus that was tuned on a four-wheel dynamometer and have had no issues so far. By so far I mean my 2002 WRX has 209k miles on it. Still fun to drive and is perfectly reliable. I daily it almost an hour to work every day. However I also take good care of my car. I don't put cheap oil in it, I use good oil and air filters, and I make sure to change the oil sooner rather than later.

@@dnawrapsatl if they are just cobb's stage 1&2 base maps, they are usually safe grounds. I wouldnt worry about close calls unless your tapping into the 20 psi territory on the stock turbo more often than one should.. I mean, the stock transmission will slowly start to fail at 400 whp while the stock piston rods ALSO fail at 400 hp territory so.... theres not even a point in trying to go beyond stage 2 bcs if im correct, stage 3 asks for a bigger turbo but then youll also need forged rods that will hold above 400 hp and yet again your transmission is still limited to 400 awhp sooo.... if you DID achieve above 400hp territory youd best drive it with lots of love.

@Clutch4IceCream 5 жыл бұрын

sariah reigns wrong! Subaru Writes there warranties to allow voiding with specific modifications. “Subaru” doesn’t void the warranty. We willfully void the warranty upon modification. It’s a loop hole

Would love to see a video explaining in detail the 5-way map switching adjustments you can make on Ford Ecoboost using the cruise control buttons. Several videos mention this feature and show (partially) how the RPM needle indicates the corresponding map; just the basics. But none go in-depth explaining if these can all be custom tunes or they are only pertaining to variations of a single custom tune that is compatible with 5-way switching... Also, none of the users I observed actually go and confirm via the Cobb V3 Accessport screen to show which "economy map or high performance map" was selected or explained the parameters. For example can one use the following Cobb OTS tunes in 3 of the 5 maps? 1. Stage 0, 2. Stage 1 91 Oct 3. Stage 1 93 Oct be flashed into any map one desires?

Just in case anyone's curious as to tuned reliability...I have an '03 WRX with an HKS turbo back exhaust and a Cobb SF intake and no other engine mods, with a Cobb OTS Stage2 93 Octane map. It's been like this since 2004 and she just turned 258,000 and just started smoking on start up! All original drive train, engine, head gasket etc. I've driven her very hard all her life, road raced regularly...however, always did maintenance in half schedules, synthetic oil at 3,000. Maintenance is your best friend!

There is a hidden factory tune when you uninstall it. My car had a tune on it when i bought it but I had a stock engine built n had sensors going off. When I uninstall my accessport it is suppose to install the factory tune, not revert to the custom tune that was previously on it....according to COBB. Just to know

I need to renew my plate, but theyre asking to get my car smogged, but i modified my car (FBO) . I have my dyno tune active. The smog guy says that i need to change the dyno tune map to stock. I dont know how to change it back to stock. I heard i can do it by “unmarrying” or “uninstall it” thru the cobb option, but im afraid that ill lose my dyno tune, thats in the cobb, when i wanna put the dyno tune back on, after i do the smog. Will my dyno tunes erase from my cobb, if i do “unmarry it” or “uninstall it”?
