No, it does not adjust to new mods like the procede.

I added an ETS intercooler to my E92 with the stage 1 tune. Does that mean my car will blow up?!






Protip: A bolt-on exhaust system doesn't make a shit, even if the secondary cats are removed.

Stage one likely can be used with any set up. With any tune you run, you should be logging high gear pulls and reviewing how the engine is responding to ensure it's not going to "blow up". That being said, the ecu is very good at preventing idiots from blowing up these engines.

My car adjusted nicely to the ets fmic. Timing improvement was dramatic.

Isnt that just the ecu adjusting to the cooler intake temps (less drops in timing), which is not what the procede does, which is increase boost, timing and other variables

Yeah, the procede drives ur car to knock, the backs off. The Cobb AP is setup for a stock car and as you add breathing mods, the tune improves.

Cars either come tuned to the max of their equipment or detuned for their equipment(our n54s). For the former, any bolt on will make it faster, while the latter will see little to no improvement, e.g. an exhaust gained 30whp for stock supra but intakes, exhausts, etc do nothing for stock n54s. Cobb maxes out the tune for the stock hardware so breathing mods make a difference.

Put on my Afe DCI and BSH OCC today. Just got back from having some fun. No codes at all.

I get the "fuel pump" code only when the tune is installed (P2fa3). How's the dealer going to fix this one!

Also cruise control still not working when tune installed.

Runs strong but would like some answers.

Try enabling traction control.

I dunno who told you that was a fuel pump code...I don't believe it is

Anyone running COBB AccesPORT completely stock WITHOUT an oil cooler? I'm sure this may have been answered already, but 50 pages of threads is a lot to go through...

[n1lul]

onthe COBB faq page, they say you can run normally without a cooler, but tracking/spirited driving it is suggested.

I am running without a cooler right now. Only one day so no data to report. I have the upgrade/retrofit kit in my garage, but chickened out doing it myself. So will have a local shop do it next month.

I don't think it is either, I think it is an ECU code.

The tune doesn't change at all. You are just at a different load value in the tables where the max timing value is higher for the given RPM.

Incorrect. Cobb tunes of load so adding parts will not change load. It will change boost to hit the programmed load values.

maybe I copied it down wrong, when it first hpnd It was under hard acceleration...I cleared it, then it came back. Did a reinstall and it is still there...I will dbl check the code.

its because the ECU has been flashed - all flashes generate this code. Cobb is apparently working on a fix for this

ok that was my 2nd guess...think I read that way back when...thnx

I believe this is an AP related code. If you uninstall it will go away. They were working to turn it off but it's low priority as it's cleared when the AP is uninstalled and doesn't throw a limp or SES.

I have the same code, Neil Bywater from the Plano location explained that it was a benign code that is tune related and will not affect the engine or performance in any negative way. I never use cruise control, but have read that its an issue. The AP does make the N54 a little monster though....

[jaco]

If I received some shitty gas from a gas station would I be SOL? or would the tune adapt with the tune on 93 octance? AKA getting some subpar octane verse the desired 93.
