COBB Rev-hang fix SOON

Tue, 05/04/2010 - 4:53pm — mucter

Christian@Cobb has been working on a permanent fix for revhang on the Si. Initial testing has been very positive. There will be a new set of maps released soon for testing by the public. These new maps will require a firmware update on your AccessPORT.

These maps will be rev 1.05a, when they are made available I will post a link here to the download.

MAP tuning testing has been going well too. A solid working public release for that should be just around the corner.

VitViper Throttle Table comparison

Thu, 12/03/2009 - 3:05pm — mucter

This is a visual comparison of the throttle maps commonly used by the community. Vit has taken the time to smooth out the lines on his map to make the engagement less jumpy, more predictable. It's a little more agressive after 3500, while keeping the cruise range smooth.
