FE1 Civic Si AccessPort

I'm very aware of the popular tuners in the community. You certainly don't have a shortage a talented, good tuners to choose from. We are not as big in the 10th/11th gen community as some others we're involved in, but we would like to become one of the trusted tuners in the 10th and 11th gen community. So we are offering something in hopes that you'll try us out! Here are a few things about us that you might not know.

• We have 2 10th gen Civics, one FC3 and one FK8, both of which are tuned by us
• We tune Hondata, KTuner, and Cobb
• We've been in business since 2009, tuning since 2016-ish
• We are one of the, if not the largest volume eTuner in the Focus ST community specifically (using 99.999% Cobb, but we do HP Tuners also). We've tuned literally thousands upon thousands.
• Alan, our tuner, has been with Edge Autosport since 2012 and has become a full time tuner through working at the company after doing it on the side for a couple years. He has formal training, lots of experience, and tuned a variety of platforms and other resources he has acquired in his tuning career.
• We have an insane amount of Cobb experience among some of the platforms - Mazdaspeed, Ford EcoBoost, Subaru, and VW/Audi. We know how to get the most out of the software, how to troubleshoot issues, and easily navigate all the tables and options available to us in their software.
• If you feel like seeing Alan in action, you can always cruise through our YouTube channel. He's not hard to find!
• Alan is a full time tuner, that's all he does. What that means to you is he is much more flexible with his time. Unless there is something in the way (like being at PRI at the time I write this lol), he will respond to you with revisions within 1 business day, sometimes same day depending on the current work load.

The AccessPort is not the perfect solution for everyone, we know this! But for those that are modding their car down a certain path that the AccessPort is currently tailored to, it should not be looked past. It's such a great tool and tuning device and SO EASY to use.

What questions do you have? How can we help you decide if it is or isn't for you? Let us know. We're here for anything you need.

If you'd like to give this deal a shot, AccessPorts are as advertised on the site now through 12/23 and if you put the eTune in your cart, the price should be discounted to $100 upon checkout. By the way, we'll do $100 for ANY option - single fuel or dual fuel - $100, that's it.

Question on Cobb and resale, how much does Cobb charge for unlocking if you buy a used ap?

None. The AP doesn't have any advantages over the competition.

This could be a loaded question. But I'll hit the high points the best I can.

I think the AP is very practical and convenient. I like the idea of opening a box, plugging it in, flashing the car, picking out your gauges to monitor (only if you want), and go drive. You don't ever have to touch a computer if you use it in the most basic way, unless you needed to update the firmware and maps. It also holds as many maps as you can ever imagine needing. You would need that for using ethanol. Even though it doesn't make use of flex fuel currently, you can still have multiple maps that you can flash when changing fuels. If the decision was solely made on the device you get in a box, I would choose Cobb all day. They have that advantage, as small as it might be. I think over time, the disparity will become less and less as Cobb gains more features and more people start to experience it.

If you fit into these categories, I would not put Cobb below the others. It's a level playing field.

• Someone who simply wants to plug in a tuner, make more power with or without basic bolt-ons, and go have fun.
• Someone who wants custom tuning, with or without basic bolt-ons, and uses pump gas
• Someone who wants custom tuning and doesn't care about flexfuel at all, and is okay switching maps if they want to use ethanol
• Willing to keep the stock downpipe OR with an aftermarket downpipe, figure out the CEL situation on their own, not through the software, or just deal with it.

Capabilities go to Hondata and KTuner, mainly because of flexfuel compatibility, control over engine codes, and live map switching. But Cobb will eventually release flexfuel. From what I've heard, sooner rather than later, at least on Type R to start. Cobb is very serious about Honda and is very active bringing their product to a level that's competitive with others. You can probably tell we're big Cobb fans. We don't really dislike any option, but we enjoy using Cobb and it's very capable within its domain. The custom tuning is high level for stock ECU.

This is why we're offering this deal. We think those that it fits would really enjoy the product and we just want people to try it (and us) out. Worst case, you paid $100 for the custom tune and you have a device you can easily sell second hand if you want to change. We're confident you'll like it if you're within the above mentioned range though.

Let me know if you have further questions or any comments. I'm open to discussion.

Question on Cobb and resale, how much does Cobb charge for unlocking if you buy a used ap?

Good question. It's been a long time since I've even seen/heard anything about that. But I want to say it's a few hundred bucks or something. They are essentially selling you an AP without the cost of the hardware since it's now assigned to 2 vehicles. But to make it clear, if you buy a used AP that has been unflashed/unmarried, you don't need to pay Cobb to do anything. That would only be if you bought a used AP and the previous user screwed you over and didn't uninstall it. Definitely best to just make 100% sure it's unmarried, if you can.

Sorry I’m referring to the ecu unlock that Cobb needs to do so that the ap can flash the ecu. How much would Cobb charge for that if you have a 2nd hand unmarried ap and want to use it on the fl5. From what I have read you need to send the ecu off to Cobb so it can be jail broken..has this changed?

Why pigeonhole yourself? Everyone goes into modding their car with things in mind. But we all know that after a while you end up wanting more. The rabbit hole goes deep. Why get a tuning device that limits me in the future. I may think I don't want a feature now, but I may decide I want it later. Now I have to sell the AP and get something different. You say they are releasing these things, but until they are here, they aren't. The other platforms have it already. I already see users selling their AP due to a lack of features. Don't sleep on the live map switching feature.

Funny how we have these random new tuners and new users on here pushing Cobb hard. Sounds like a corporate marketing campaign.

I would also be concerned about Cobb's track record. They were just hit with a $2.9 million dollar fine and it was only that low because they were not able to pay anything larger. How does this affect the companys ability to stay in business and if they fold due to this how does that affect people who have their tuners? No new updates, no continued software support? Just doesn't seem like the right product when we have other tuning devices that cater to Honda and have been in this market for a long time.

From a tuning perspective, I don't think giving some random tuner a shot with your expensive Civic because they have tuned thousands of Fords is a very prudent decision. The most dangerous mod you can do is a bad tune.

To be fair I think Cobb got CARB compliant before Hondata. At least for 22+ civic si/23+ integra (same engines L15CA) that is. If you go to Hondata flashpro it still says CARB pending for their CARB tunes. The previous 2017-2020 civic si CARB tunes have the emissions number where 22+ si doesn’t.

Not sure how close Cobbs numbers are to a dyno jet, but it makes more power than Hondatas dyno as their hub dyno tends to read crank hp over wheel hp like dyno jet and mustang does. I hear mustang dynos read low but I understand it can be adjusted to compensate for stuff since at the end of the day, it’s just a tool.

You can't get a lot from comparing dyno numbers. Even the same dyno will vary day to day due to humidity and temperature.

Sorry I’m referring to the ecu unlock that Cobb needs to do so that the ap can flash the ecu. How much would Cobb charge for that if you have a 2nd hand unmarried ap and want to use it on the fl5. From what I have read you need to send the ecu off to Cobb so it can be jail broken..has this changed?

Ahh, gotcha. Sorry for the confusion. I called Cobb to clarify because I haven't had that question yet. If you had a used AccessPort that was unmarried, Cobb would charge $200 to unlock your ECU and reassign the used AccessPort to it. You would just have to provide them the serial number. They would go through the same process of sending you the box to send in your ECU in. The AP can stay in your hands.

These are experienced Cobb tuners trying to introduce themselves to the Honda community now that Cobb is supporting new platforms. It doesn’t have to be for everyone, and you could say so without being so rude and accusatory.

 

[timestamped]

I have a question for @EdgeAutosport, do you know if the Cobb ecu unlock is the same as the Hondata? Like if you have Cobb unlock your ECU to use an Accessport, can you later unmarry the Accessport and then just install a Flashpro?

Thanks!

They certainly don't need you to white knight for them. They are just pushing Cobb, not introducing themselves to the community. Problem is that they are being disingenuous about the differences. Are they selling tuning services or are they trying to push a platform.

You seem to come to the defense of anything Cobb pretty quickly.

 

[Bigfx]

One thing never seems to go away in any tuning communities lol, the tribalism is just ridiculous. I’m going with hondata but Cobb seems to offer a great product that I used on other platforms with zero issues. The more options the better for everyone as it pushes innovation and may help with the type r tax.
