MAZDASPEED3/6 AccessPORT and AccessTUNER Updates Now Available!

[Cobb Tuning]

We have just released significant updates to the AccessPORT firmware and AccessTUNER software for the first gen MAZDASPEED3 and MAZDASPEED6. AccessPORT enhancements include improved usability with four higher precision data monitors, a simplified menu system and support for higher boost pressure data logging. AccessTUNER software improvements include a large selection of new tables, two important bug fixes and the addition of software auto-updating to simplify future software upgrades. These new additions continue to expand AccessPORT control of the ECU, letting users dig deeper into the OEM logic to extract even more power from the MAZDASPEED3/6, with unmatched simplicity, functionality, convenience and control!

AccessPORT Firmware
The latest firmware update (version 1.6.3.2) is currently beta. The full release of this firmware will include map support for included Off The Shelf Maps and will be available soon. The changes in this beta firmware version include:

• Boost pressure data logging limit has been increased to log pressures above 24PSI. Existing maps must be opened in the latest version of AccessTUNER, resaved and flashed back to the ECU to implement new feature.
• Precision of the following monitors has been increased by another decimal place:
  • STFT (Short Term Fuel Trim)
  • LTFT (Long Term Fuel Trim)
  • MAF Voltage
• Calculated Load data monitor display has been reworked to reflect the display shown in AccessTUNER (units displayed as Load Value instead of %)
• Expose ECU Data feature allows the stock ROM to be backed up to a PC using AP Manager
• Uninstall AccessPORT menu option moved back to the top menu level
• Installed Stock Mode maps removed from firmware to reduce end user confusion regarding Uninstall vs. Installed Stock Mode
• Demo Mode added to Settings Menu to enable AP navigation of all menus when powered up while not connected to ECU

AccessTUNER Software
The latest AccessTUNER software update (version 1.8.6.0) has significant enhancements that not only give unprecedented control of the stock ECU, but also make it more convenient to update!

• Auto Updater allows software updating through the "Help/Updates" menu, eliminating the need to submit additional ATR request forms, waiting for the software to be generated and downloading the new software. Rollback functionality is also included to step back to the previous release
• AccessPORT Manager 2.0 Installer is included in this release of the software.
• Six HPFP (high pressure fuel pump) Control Tables have been added
  • HPFP Desired Pressure - Max A
  • HPFP Desired Pressure - Max B
  • HPFP Desired Pressure A
  • HPFP Desired Pressure B
  • HPFP Desired Pressure C
  • HPFP Desired Pressure ECT Comp
• Eleven new Knock Tables have been added
  • Knock Retard - Decay Magnitude A
  • Knock Retard - Decay Magnitude B
  • Knock Retard - Decay Rate A
  • Knock Retard - Decay Rate B
  • Knock Retard - Multiplier
  • Knock Retard - Offset
  • Knock Retard Active - Min ECT
  • Knock Retard Active - Min Load A
  • Knock Retard Active - Min Load B
  • Knock Retard Active - RPM (Max)
  • Knock Retard Active - RPM (Min)
• Two new Radiator Fan Tables have been added
  • Radiator Fan - ECT Thresholds
  • Radiator Fan - Voltage Compensation
• Nine new MAP Sensor Scaling Tables have been added
  • MAP Scalar for EM - Component A
  • MAP Scalar for EM - Component B
  • MAP Scalar for EM - Offset
  • MAP Scalar for Log - Component A
  • MAP Scalar for Log - Component B
  • MAP Scalar for Log - Offset
  • MAP Scalar for OBD - Component A
  • MAP Scalar for OBD - Component B
  • MAP Scalar for OBD - Offset
• Five new Ignition Compensation Tables have been added
  • Ign BAT vs ECT Comp. - % Used
  • Ign BAT vs ECT Comp. A
  • Ign BAT vs ECT Comp. B
  • Ign Low Octane Reduction
  • Ign Per Cylinder Comp.
• Boost Pressure Logging Limit has been increased to log boost pressure above 24PSI
• MIL Defeat implementation has been fixed
• Live Tracing has been fixed

Forward your email to your cell phone... Derp!

Edit - that way you can check your cell every 10 minutes...

Wish I would have thought of that before walking outside to my car... lol...

[DSIT995]

just submitted.......
what are the chances they go out tonight!?

that would be great

[Dano]

yes the confirmation is almost immediate....the link, in my experience, takes about 24 hours.

[madvillain]

Fuuuuuuuuu


This is awesome, Im glad you didn't ditch the platform, Cobb! I look forward to seeing what some of the BT guys out there can do with this!

[jax ms3gt]

request submitted, Updater 1.2.6.0 downloaded, Manager 2.0.1.2 downloaded!
thank you Cobb

[Fagwagon]

awesomeness!

SO this means we can control fuel pressure with those tables? And if so willl you be releasing any new help files for those of us who are tuning on our own?

Also, if you plan on reading over the 24psi you are still going to need to upgrade to a map sensor that can read that high. Does cobb have any suggestions for a plug and play map sensor?

[MS3-a(sore)ASS-rex]

Sweet!! Can't wait to pop my injector seals now!

You don't need the updater anymore. Manager 2.0 does it now.

yeah i just read that. nice new features!

We should have updated table descriptions out soon. We will host these on our website and on the COBB Forums. We will post links when they are available.

U suck. lol

This is going to be a long 24 hours.

[Lama]

is this feature will be in the new ATR?

Easy toggle switch to force ECU to target boost, not load.

john not that you may know but is your pro version any different then ours? i know the last revision was not. are you able to flash directly from your laptop on yours or do you still need to go through the AP?

[jracer]

thanks COBB

[jwilkins88]

Unicorn checking in... Excited to start popping my injector seals.

Lama,

Yes, however, please understand that these are untested developmental features for those that are interested in experimenting and evaluating them. They are toggles, so if they don't work as expected, simply switch back.

TOGGLE: Use Boost Based Dynamics (Boost Control)
When checked, the ECU should function using Boost Error to control the WGDC. This should provide what you are calling "PSI tuning". In other words, the ECU will take the result of the Boost Target table and compare it against the actual Boost. If Actual Boost is greater than target boost, it will reduce the WGDC (attempt to lower actual "PSI"). The opposite is true is Actual Boost is less than Target. Normal operation is for the ECU to increase/decrease WGDC based on Load Error (Is actual Load greater/less than Desired Load).

TOGGLE: Use Alt. Load Target Table (Boost Control)
When checked, the ECU should function using this table as the only Load Target to raise or lower WGDC (which drives PSI, y0). Otherwise, the ECU uses a complex routine to look at several tables based on conditions which may lead to "inconsistent" turbo operation because the ECU is attempting to be more dynamic for conditions.

Thanks,

Gary

[rodrigo]

subbed for cld12pk2go to learn all this shit asap in time fo ma BT drop in

[forcedinduktion]

any word on 2nd gen?

[Spirry]

A quick word of advise. Disable your anti-virus before installing AP Manager 2.0. I was getting NSIS integrity check errors with ESET NOD32. Disabled and all is peachy now!

Ohhh ... Does this mean we now have (hypothetically) three means of controlling boost? Boost dynamics/dedicated load dynamics/oem? That's very interesting if true - not the way I originally understood it.

These two features could prove very useful when tuning big turbo setups vs. the K04. I have personally spent much time tuning the load dynamics, boost dynamics, boost comp etc tables to try and dial in desired boost. The logic the ECU used to target load seems to be unknown so a lot of trial and error is needed to get results. With the new features I hope this will eliminate alot of variables.

BTW just received my DL link email.
