COBB Tuning is pleased to announce a new firmware update for all MAZDASPEED AP-MAZ-002 AccessPORTs. This new update adds support for 2011 MAZDASPEED3 vehicles, revises the list of default datalogging parameters for easier datalogging as well as addresses two minor bugs. In addition, AccessTUNER Race support for 2011 MAZDASPEED3s has been added including minor table revisions to correct display data and monitor functions for all MAZDASPEED vehicles.

To update your AccessPORT to this updated firmware, simply plug your AccessPORT into your PC or Mac and update with the latest version of AccessPORT Manager. This can be found on the Support Page on the COBB Tuning Website.

Improved Power Band

Maps for the 2011 MAZDASPEED3 feature Boost Target logic and include an new tuning strategy that increases low-rpm power delivery. This new 2nd Gen MAZDASPEED3 tuning strategy will be applied to all 2010 MAZDASPEED OTS Stage1 maps and we are targeting to have them available by the beginning of June. In addition, we are working on porting the Boost Target logic and all the Gen2 Stage1 maps to the Gen1 platform, which will significantly increase the number of intakes our OTS maps support.  For a complete list of currently available calibrations, please visit our 2010 and 2011 MAZDASPEED3 Map Download Pages.

Default Revisions and Bug Fixes

To facilitate datalogging and E-Tuning services for all MAZDASPEED vehicles, the default list of dataloging parameters has been revised and expanded. The updated list of default datalogging parameters are highlighted in bold text on the AP-MAZ-002 Monitors Page.

The DI Fuel Press. Volt. calculation has been fixed to display the proper monitor reading. Also, the units were removed from the Fuel Inj. Amt. monitor title and moved next to the monitor data to improve the display of this monitor.
