AccessPORT Challenge Report: AccessPORT vs. Open Source – Subaru STI

Take the AccessPORT Challenge!

The AccessPORT Challenge continues to be a huge success with all kinds of different enthusiasts deciding to step up to the COBB Tuning AccessPORT. Several, like Todd Williard and his STI, decided to put his Open Source tune up against the AccessPORT and the tuning skills of our ProTuners!

Todd accepted the challenge at our COBB Tuning Surgeline location with head tuner, Tim Bailey, working his magic with AccessTUNER Pro. Todd came in with an Open Source tune on a standard stage 2 setup with a methanol injection kit. His baseline pull showed a respectable 240whp and 280lb/ft of torque but running a very rich 10:1 AFR. Tim knew he could not only improve the power of the STI, but also lean out the mixture a bit, making for better fuel economy.

With the AccessPORT ProTune by Tim Bailey, the car was able to make 320lb/ft of torque and 280whp at 18psi! With the boost turned up to 21 psi, power was increased to 350lb/ft of torque and 290whp at a leaner, but still very safe AFR.

The results are undeniable, with competent tuning and the AccessPORT, Todd now has a much more powerful car that is not only more fun to drive, but is safer for the engine and more economical.
