I just got back from the Cobb Tuning shop in Plano. They have a good deal going on right now for Nissan/Infinity owners. If you buy an accessport before the end of July you get a free custom tune/map. That means you get 4 hours of dyno time and a custom map for free.

I bought my accessport while I was there and I've scheduled my appointment for August 1st.

If you're looking to tune your car, this might be a good time to do it if you got the funds.

Poopy. I wish I lived in Texas. I can't find anyone to do a tune on the AP. A local shop here does the Cobb, but only for Subarus. I was the first Nissan to call and they don't want to spend the money on the tuning software.

 

If only I had my car by now....

 

Very good deal.

 

Still waiting on a call back for compatibility....

 

I started playing around with the Accessport and I can do a dyno run with it. I exported the data to excel and printed the graph.

It claimed I had 271hp and 245 lb/ft torque. Probably pretty close with the mods I have.

 

What is the compatibility issue that you might have?

 

mmmmmmm this is nasty temptation. pm me what u paid plz.

 

you just have intake and catback exhaust? I'm curious to what you paid also

 

If I had an HR motor...maybe..but I havent seen ANY good numbers for the DE..

This is the ONLY thing that made me think twice about it..

Getting the right ROM for my ecu to connect with the AP.

 

I paid full price for the accessport of $695. The savings is on the custom tune. That would have cost $400 for the 4 hours of dyno time. Since I have an HR, Neil showed me a dyno graph for a G37 (the closest thing to an HR that they've made a custom map) after a custom tune, and it got an extra 30 hp with intake, HFC, and exhaust. Neil said he figured I should get pretty similar results. I'll let y'all know whether I wasted my money after I get my custom tune.

 

Im sure you didnt.. I just meant that Ive only seen good #'s with the HR motor.. those with good ol DE engines are SOL.. 30WHP is great! and +1 on getting them dyno sheets up.. Ive been researching COBB for sometime now, also other options. I doubt you wasted anything and you made a good choice..

 

ever since cobb came out with the AP ive wanted one, even if i have a VQ and just bolt-ons.

 

AcidJake, I knew what ya meant. It is a real concern of mine whether it was worth the money. I haven't found anyone else try to tune a HR with the Injen intake and HKS exhaust using a Cobb AP. I'll know on Aug 1.

I've been playing with the data logging feature. It just shows me that I need to learn more about those data channels.

^^+1 & cant wait for the results..

 

Cobb has a nice facility. Enjoyed the bbq and their grand opening.

 

OP, did you ever get the car custom tuned by a Cobb tuner? What were the results did you get that 30 HP the tuner claimed?

 

Yep, got the custom map. Nope, didn't get the same gains the G37 got. The mustang dyno they have put my max hp at 276 and torque at 243. I've come to the conclusion that the gains from mod-ing the HR engine are too small to warrant any further investments except if you get a couple of big a$$ turbos.

I still have a ton of fun on the track with a fairly stock HR.

 

Shame... Seems to be the same response given by both AP and Osiris custom tunes. Guess the HR is pretty tapped out (as far as a tune goes) from the factory.

I don't know how Tadashi from Technosquare was able to get 15 HP from an HR with his tune?!?!
