Big Updates for AccessTUNER Race for All MAZDASPEED Vehicles

[Cobb Tuning]

COBB Tuning announces the latest version of AccessTUNER for all MAZDASPEED vehicles offering significant enhancements. This new version of AccessTUNER incorporates COBB Tuning’s proprietary Boost Tuning capability for 1st and 2nd Gen MAZDASPEED3s, Launch Control and Flat Foot Shifting for 2nd Gen (2010-2011) MAZDASPEED3s, as well as Fast Data Logging, improved 3D Graphing and many new tables for all MAZDASPEEDs!

Boost Tuning

AccessTUNER has been extensively updated to give MAZDASPEED AccessTUNER users greater control over boost control. Our latest Boost Tuning logic is now available for all 2007-2011 MAZDASPEED3 vehicles, allowing users to use this new boost control strategy on any calibration created with AccessTUNER. All previously released BETA Wastegate and Boost Control tables have been upgraded to final release as well. For a complete list of new and previously released tables, visit the AccessTUNER Update History page.

COBB Tuning has also just released a huge number of maps featuring calibrations for the most popular intakes and bolt-on parts for the 2007-2009 MAZDASPEED3 with Boost Tuning already enabled that can be used as base maps for custom calibrations. For a complete list of calibrations visit the 2007-2009 MAZDASPEED3 or 2010-2011 MAZDASPEED3 Online Map Databases.

A new V2.0 Tuning Guide is also included to assist users in tuning using the new Boost target logic.

Launch Control and Flat Foot Shifting

Launch Control and Flat Foot Shifting has been enabled for 2nd Gen (2010-2011) MAZDASPEED3 vehicles with this release, bringing these popular features to the entire MAZDASPEED line-up. All MS3 v2.00 and MS6 v1.07 COBB Tuning Off The Shelf calibrations are LC/FFS-ready. Launch Control limits engine RPM to a user-set value when launching to build boost and increase launch consistency. Flat-Foot Shift allows the user to maintain wide-open-throttle during gear changes, keeping partial boost between shifts and improving acceleration post-shift.

The recent 1.6.4.2-2553 firmware release enables Launch Control and Flat Foot shifting on 2nd Gen MAZDASPEED3’s and sets the limits at the factory rev limiter. This release of AccessTUNER software allows the Launch Control and Flat Foot Shifting limiters to be adjusted and saved in the map.

Fast Data Logging

This update also includes Fast Data Logging for all MAZDASPEED AccessPORTs. Faster datalogging means more resolution in data logs, allowing users to see how the engine is behaving during high-speed and high-load conditions in greater detail. The Fast Data Logging feature is built into the latest maps for the MAZDASPEED3 and MAZDASPEED6 are available now for download. This feature applies to both v2 and v2b AccessPORTs.

Improved 3D Graphing

MAZDASPEED AccessTUNER software has received a 3D graphing facelift in the latest release. Both solid and wire 3D graphing styles have been improved. Solid 3D graphing is enhanced with a grid overlay and more intuitive color gradient. Wire 3D graphing is improved with finer wire drawing and higher contrast colors that are easier to view.

Here are some before and after examples of 3D graphing in the AccessTUNER software:

Post FFS Lean Condition and WOT Stutter Fixes for MAZDASPEED Vehicles

New fueling tables allow the users that are experiencing a lean condition following FFS (MAZDASPEED3/6) and the WOT Stutter (MAZDASPEED6) to make adjustments in these tables and resolve these issues. The following tables can be used to tune out this momentary lack of fuel to fix both the lean condition and the associated misfire or stutter:

• Ignition Timing Limit (Min) (Throttle Closed) - Set this value between -4 and -2 for best results.
• Ignition Timing Limit (Min) (Throttle Open) - Set this value between -4 and -2 for best results.
• Load Based Fuel Compensation (Clutch In) - Set all values to 1.0.
• Load Based Fuel Compensation (Clutch Out) - Set all values to 1.0.
• Load/RPM Based Fuel Compensation (Clutch In) - Set all values to 1.0.
• Load/RPM Based Fuel Compensation (Clutch Out) - Set all values to 1.0.

Additional table exposure and fixes:

• Added “Fuel OL Commanded EQ (base)”.
• Added “Fuel Commanded EQ Max Enrichment Allowed”.
• Renamed “Fuel OL/Part Throttle Commanded EQ(unused)” to “Fuel OL Commanded EQ(Throttle Closed)”.

The new MAZDASPEED3 v2.00 calibrations do not have these fixes implemented in them, the next round of calibrations will include these by default. The upcoming MAZDASPEED6 v2.00 calibrations will have this fix implemented.

Expanded Table Definitions

AccessTUNER Race has been expanded with more tables for better fueling, ignition and idle control. In addition, High Pressure Fuel Pump tables have been added that will allow users to scale the fuel pressure sensor allowing for the installation of very high-flow pumps. These new tables allow AccessTUNER users unprecedented control over their vehicles enabling unparalleled exploitation of “Big Turbo” setups and potentially, bio-fuel tunes. To see the entire list of table updated, visit the AccessTUNER Release Notes History.

Compatibility Update

An incompatibility exists between previous versions of our maps and the latest AccessPORT firmware release for the MAZDASPEED vehicles, which will lead to improper readings through the AccessPORT’s Live Data and/or Data Log features. In order to resolve this issue, please be sure to follow the steps below for the scenario that most closely matches your situation. To use these latest calibrations your AccessPORT must be updated to Firmware Version 1.6.4.2-2553 or later.
If you are using calibrations made with older versions of AccessTUNER or wish to use an older Off The Shelf calibration please update your calibrations using the following steps. Please be sure to download and install the latest version of AccessPORT Manager 2.0 before following any of the steps listed. Maps must be open and saved with AccessTUNER version 1.8.6.0-2517 or later to resolve compatibility issues.

* Updating when utilizing the latest Off-The-Shelf (OTS) calibrations

1. Update your AccessPORT firmware
2. Download the latest OTS maps
3. Transfer new maps to AccessPORT
4. Reflash vehicle with a newly downloaded map

* Updating when utilizing an AccessTUNER Race custom tune or old revision OTS calibration

1. Update your AccessPORT firmware
2. Request and download the latest version of AccessTUNER Race (if necessary)
3. Open and resave your custom/old revision calibration through AccessTUNER Race version 1.8.6.0-2517 or later
4. Transfer resaved map to AccessPORT

Bucker,

Everyone is gone for the evening. I'm going to send an email out to the Mazda Expert Group and see if I can get someone over here to help you before morning. Please PM your email address to me.

Thanks,

Gary

[8.5MS3]

just updated my atr

gonna wait to find out what happened to bucker before installing tho...

gl man

[MS3-44]

how do you enable launch control do you just have too update your accessport and the map?


i shall be waiting too...............

[jonlax]

Launch control FTW

killed ECU FTL

hopefully bucker's ecu is a fluke.

[Bucker]

EDIT:

Ok, after talking to Cobb on the phone here is the thought: It was a coincidence my ECU bricked when it did. It wasnt the update, the ATR, or anything. Just bad timing. To ensure you don't have issues logging or with the live data, update everything, open the map in the newly updated ATR, then resave it before flashing.

[Sacrilicious]

now that's service...

[mazdaspdmike]

service indeed. Cobb is just a bunch of awesome dudes!

Also, when the BT maps were still in beta I ran one on my MS3... didn't even need a MAF calibration, was at or under +/- 3% LTFTs after 250+ miles to give the ECU time to adjust... went no higher than 5% before it settled as well! Hopefully these calibration settings are still being used, it was spot on for the Cobb SRI map!

[eppopipe]

Whats different between this and the beta stuff im currently running for the gen2?

[Cobb Tuning]

Eppopipe,

The official release and beta release are technically the same updates. The only thing we changed is the map version number which was up-reved to v200 for all Boost Tuning compatible maps (all 2007-2011 MS3).

[manselainen]

Any support planned for euro-spec MPS's? I think there might be some business potential there.

+1

Lots of guys here in Australia are waiting for support too

Any news or ETA?

[jonlax]

Never have i saw a company with such good work ethics and support.

You guys rock!

[Cobb Tuning]

Bucker,

Either Eleanor or Will should be calling you shortly. Eleanor is our Director of Engineering and Will is our Firmware expert. We would at least like to see what we can get figured out tonight so you can plan for tomorrow accordingly.

Thanks,

Gary

“Fuel OL Commanded EQ(Throttle Closed)"

What do we do with this one??

[Cobb Tuning]

It's one of the tables that is looked up for fuel after a non-FFS Shift.

-David@COBB

[mituc]

+1 for the Euro/AUS MPS support.
Hypertech did it, why can't Cobb?!

[Docnox]

So just match it to our other fuel tables?? Ie, 11.8 from 1.25 load and up, and 2500+rpm.

Thanks again, Cobb! You guys have really been on the ball. Look at all the advances we've made on this platform and so much has to do with your tuning breakthroughs.

Yep, just match it to your other OL tables.

Mine....I generated it using ProE (CAD software). If you want it I can send you the values and you can modify it for your needs.

[jonspeed3]

I need to buy an AP man... :/

[Haltech]

Ugh, dont know what happened to my ATR, but it got stuck updating and is broken now. I had to uninstall and im waiting for the new download link.

Cant wait to check out the new functions :L)

[PunjabiPlaya]

updated firmware and ATR and just flashed, all good

[LuczOr]

YAY, official release! Nice to see a FFS fix.

[dougefresh_]

Looking forward to putting in the FFS changes for lean condition. A lot easier than raping the load cap fix @Dano2010, lol
