COBB Tuning is pleased to announce another major roll-out of new Off-The-Shelf (OTS) maps for the 2008 Mitsubishi EVO X. Now, every performance map is available with an optional low wastegate duty cycle (LWDC) designed for cars currently suffering from overboost issues. These new maps lower the duty cycle controlling the wastegate, increasing the volume of exhaust gasses that bypass the turbine, reducing turbo shaft speed and the resulting boost levels.

This latest release doubles the number of maps available for the EVO X, bringing the total number of maps to over 120 each for the GSR and MR models. These new maps will make it even easier for EVO X enthusiasts to find an Off-The-Shelf map that optimizes their cars' modifications and its response. COBB Tuning's continued dedication to providing the ultimate tuning solution for the EVO X has resulted in the world's largest Off-The-Shelf map database (http://www.accessecu.com/accessport/mitsubishi/AP-MIT-002/EVOXMaps.html).

Stay tuned for additional exciting news regarding the COBB Tuning AccessPORT (http://cobbtuning.com/accessport) and the Mitsubishi EVO X. We're not done yet!

I'm impressed by all the support from Cobb. Now I just need to get an AP...

love the new map with fuel injectors added

Awesome

anyone selling a used AP

awesome, cobb are the best!

off topic kinda but does anyone know if the Cobb AP can be used with an apple computer? or only a windows machine?

The software is only available for Windows, XP through Vista 64 bit. Some uers have reported success on Windows 7 as well, but the software is not written for that platform yet. That said, some users have been able to run their AccessPORT applications on MAC, using Windows on Bootcamp.

More great support from Cobb.

Random question (off topic I know) - do guys usually leave their AP in the car in the cold cold winter temps? Is it OK - or has anyone had issues with the display or anything in winter months?

I'm so glad I bought the AP. you guys make the most amazing modification product available for the X.

Thanks!

damn when are 2010s going to be available? :(

Sure it won't take long. It will be worth the wait.

The AP has no moving parts. It is basically a circuit board, and some memory chips, with a small display. I don't think the temperature would be an issue, as much as moisture. As long as the inside of your car surfaces aren't getting frost on them you are probably fine. Its the size of a cell phone, though, and cost almost 700 bucks. So why not bring it in the house?

Never thought of that, but you could be right - LCDs do not like the cold, and their response times can really slow down. Should be OK once the car warms up though - I don't think it's permanent.

Incase anyone else was wondering, I'm using Windows 7 and all the Cobb software including AccessTuner Race installed onto my computer just like it normally would and everything operates perfectly.

I have overboost issue, will test new map and report back this weekend!

Same here. I'll be loading the new map tonight! AP= Best mod for the X!!

lately i can't seem to copy maps from the manager to the AP. how can i fix this?

nevermind, i updated my ap manager version and now i can transfer maps to the ap.

Dumb question, how do I know if I am over-boosting?

Dumb question, how do I know if I am over-boosting?

Well assuming you don't have a boost gauge, you can hook up your AP and log the boost.

Stage 1 = 23 psi and stage 2 = 25 psi

If you get more than that on either map then you are overboosting.

Thanks that is what I thought. So if boost ever goes over 25psi even just for a really quick bit I am overboosting and should run one of the new maps to correct it?

Well If you go over a small amount to say 26 psi, I would not change maps. I on the other hand had a massive overboosting issue, it would spike to 28/29 psi depending on the gear and situation. Even after adjusting my boost tables stabbing the throttle could still replicate this boost spike. If you want, do a data log (only log RPM, Knock, WDGC fine, throttle position, boost pressure, Load boost / fuel) upload the log and I can tell you if you need to change maps :)

AMAZING!!! :dancebanana:

My overboost issue is 100% CURED!!!! I've been fighting with this for a LONG LONG time. I've adjusted boost tables, boost control offsets and I would still experience the issue when using partial throttle or flooring it from 3-4k rpm. THIS PROBLEM IS GONEEEEEEE WITH THE NEW MAP!!!!

I'm so stoked about this! I can now use full throttle with ease of mind and drive my car like it's meant to be!!! Logged the car and it hit 24.7 psi, perfect.

HUGE THANKS TO COBB, YOU GUYS TRULY CARE FOR THE CUSTOMER.

Awesome news!!! I've been experiencing an overboost issue as well, big thanks to Cobb!

Sweet, thanks man! How should I drive and for how long to get an accurate datalog? Slow to WOT on a long straight freeway on ramp or something like that?

Okay, awesome. I will try and do it tomorrow or over the weekend. Thanks again!

it was -31 -34 below and my accesport is just fine in the cab ... no issues

it would be great to use this on MAC , soon , lol i gotta go to buddys house to use his PC to dwnload maps

anyone in Irvine CA or orange county have one that could help me out with my x?

Cobb rules!

Would it be just safe to download the new map anyways even though your not over boosting? I dont data log my car often to where i can check it on a weekly basis.

Setup a windows XP bootcamp dude!

What happens if you have an exhaust and UICP? Am I missing there are no maps for that or do you not need one for the UICP?

A UICP does not require special tuning, you would be good to go.

Are the maps OK with an aftermarket intercooler? I know it's best left to a custom tune but curious if they're still OK to run even if the proper gains aren't realized yet.

I'm running STG2 w/ an AMS I/C, no problems yet that I've seen. Mad rich under any amount of boost (not sure if it's the design of the OTS tune or not), but better safe than sorry. Anyone else wanna chime in on this?

with questions regarding different maps can we just call them just to make sure you dont blow your motor.

i hope in choosing your maps you will enter your car etc and the mods,,, it's like there is a check list, you check ic pipes, catback, testpipe etc and then search and download and will give the most appropiate maps needed. no guess work.

Anyone else having issues with their AP on the newest firmware?

Mine will just go blank at random times and completely wipeout any data logs or dynos I just did. I went out and did a ton of data log 4th gear pulls. Once or twice it went blank and I had to either shut the car off and turn it back on or unplug the USB cable from the AP to restart it. I just got home and none of the data logs or dynos are there. Darn that was a lot of work lost. :(

The UICP does not effect overall airflow into the engine, so it does not need to be tuned for.

Again, since this does not alter airflow, it should be ok, but you should keep an eye on your boost levels, AFR and knock correction, especially if it gets very cold.

We have tried to name the maps in a plain and easy to understand manner. The biggest differences from map to map is the intake calibration. These cars are highly sensitive to intake changes. Of course, you also want to make sure that if you have stock injectors you don't run one of the 800cc or E85 maps!

This may be an issue with the unit itself. Does it disconnect at high RPM? You might try getting one of those magnetic noise-cencelling sleeves from radioshack. These will help reduce electronic noise in the system that can cause the connection to be lost between the car and the AccessPORT.

I am not sure, don't remember it happening at high RPM. I will check though. Does the noise-cancelling sleeve go around the AP, or what? Oh, and I never had issues with the unit until after the latest firmware upgrade.

If you go to buy a noise filter they look like a plastic cylinder or box with a hinge on one side. You snap it on the cable or loop the cable through it (so it doesn't slide all around).

Some pictures here:

You'd probably put it on the power cable near where it plugs in, but you could try it on the data cable too. It's basically just a magnetized piece of iron that absorbs electronic noise by induction. It should only run you a few bucks.

Thanks man! The AP is powered off the ODB, so there is only one cable. I will pick one up and try it.

Just installed stage 1 for 93 octane. A very nice increase. The power comes on much quicker, really seems to remove the bit of lag. A+ for you guys.

yes

What is the point of doing this set up...
(Stage2 designed specifically for AZ/CA/NV 91 Octane fuel with DW800cc Injectors and upgraded fuel pump. +22% HP / +15% lb. ft.) if the % increase is the same a normal stage 2? Is this so your car is driveable before upgrading the turbo and getting a custom tune?

It is designed so that you can run pump gas with your fuel system upgraded for E85.
