Hey Cobb, produce the damn maps or
We are not working on the maps, we are trying to figure out the VVEL system. The system is very very impressive and the logic behind it is very complex. It's not as easy as finding a fuel table or rev limiter .

As soon as I find out the maps are out, I will be buying this. Hopefully that is soon, lol.

Screw the damn maps, as soon as the vvel is cracked i'll be buying it and having a local shop near me that tunes GTR's with the AP do it (weirdly enough they are not a dealer). They have also made the most power on the genesis so far out of the whole country (not that that makes me happy but Luke is qualified).

Maybe this has been asked before, but I haven't seen it.

If I buy an Access Port today and Cobb cracks this VVEL, will I be able to update my Access Port so I can use VVEL maps?

Yes - updated maps from Cobb are always free to Access Port owners.

yeah I am really ready for the VVEL to be cracked as well. Once this happens im sure Cobb sales will soar, which I am sure is why they are focusing on it so much. They really should have maps out already, it is getting a little silly--especially for those who purchased a year ago with COBBS, '370z maps comming soon' bit.

I'm not knocking cobb at all but I'm just curious as to how much has actually been going into the VVEL or if they just have a lot on there plate and aren't focusing much on it.... I know nothing but it just seems like even if you had only one person focusing on this they would have something to show us by now... Idk though, who knows...

I am going to make an assumption (especially considering I use to have a Cobb for my STi) Cobb probably isn’t as focus on the 370z platform as much as they are in Subaru and Mitsubishi.

When I had one for my STi, they would come out with new ROM versions like twice a year. Cobb gains are huge with cars with Turbo’s where as our naturally aspirated Z’s have more subtle gains. If I was Cobb, I would do the same. They need to focus most of their time/energy on the market niche that will provide the most profit. When you talk with various tuners (least the couple I have talked with) they all have nothing but good comments for the guys at Cobb.

If you watch the explanation video’s on the VVEL system…it doesn’t take a genius to realize it is a really complicated system. I don’t doubt that you could do serious engine damage if you tune that system incorrectly so the Cobb guys are probably crossing there T’s and doting there I’s and making their tuning technology is what it needs to be to before they release it to the public. If they didn’t do enough testing and released a product that was f****** up peoples engines then there company would get serious bad press. Not to mention…I don’t want to damage my 40k car for a 10hp pre-mature VVEL tune.

Either way….I have been eagerly awaiting the VVEL tune technology to be released as well. I don’t feel like waiting any longer for my first tune so I decided to go ahead and I have scheduled time with Altered Atmosphere. When VVEL tuning is released and if the gains warrant another tune…then so be it.

Was there any development for the NISMO ECU yet? As I stated earlier, I am good with letting them use my ECU data to do what they need to do, but I won't be available until late April at the earliest.

yeah I really don't think thats the issue. I think they are just focusing all of the limited resources they have for the 370z all towards the VVEL. Kind of silly to me...

Agreed that Cobb focuses their priority on their main lines... turbo cars in general, then Subarus and Mitsus. Recently, they dove into the Mazdaspeed3/6 market (I have a Mazdaspeed6 and we've been waiting for Cobb FOREVER). When they finally did, people jumped on Cobb AccessPORTs like there was no tomorrow.

It's safe, easy, fast, and very efficient when it comes to power gains. This is why WRX/STi people love them.

We've been selling 370Z Cobb APs in the sponsor classifieds section for a few months now.
How many have we sold? Answer - 8
That's nothing compared to the number we've sold for other cars (in the dozens).

If 370Z enthusiasts realize the true benefits and effectiveness of the Cobb AP, they will see more maps developed for them, from Stage 1 basic intake bolt on, to Stage 4+ upgraded twin turbo reflash maps. They aren't that huge of a company, so they can't put as much time into their R&D as they'd like. They are thinking smart, and I would too.

If more people purchase the Cobb APs, and email them more, we'll see more maps, and an decrease in time it takes to develop these maps as well.

Just my .02

The problem is, it's hard to justify spending the money on one until they crack VVEL or at least make some maps. I personally wouldn't spend the money on the AP then go pay to get protuned and only wind up with a few extra ponies. Just doesn't make sense. If they at least had some maps available so that we could get a little more bang for our buck more people might jump on it.

By the way, I used to have an AP for my STi.
