Being a technician at a ford dealer I can say that we do have a way of proving whether it was tuned or not. Our scan tool can see mode 9 drive cycle data. If there isn’t a drive cycle completed in the history mode 9 data it means the customer flashed the ecu before bringing it in to us for warranty. Which we would then void

Thanks a lot, I will definitely be checking out the dyno videos, keep up the great work!

Hey Bill, was wondering if I should get this accessport as in one of your previous videos, you mentioned I will need one if I get the Cobb 3" down pipe

hey bill thanks for the video and here comes my question, i have a focus st 16 and mods are catback exhaust, down pipe, intake and blow off valve, what stage should i go for my car?

I love how Bill just starts laughing when he says to find a closed road lmao.

hey mate, I'm from Australia and im loving my focus ST so much. was hoping that it can switch to metric?

Lovin all of that =o)

hey bill, after installing and selecting stage 1, do you have to leave the AP plugged in for it to work? or can you unplug it and put in the glove box out of the way???

Hey bill I gotba question for youI recently purchased a acessport v3 for my 15" focus st ,probably 1 week later my car broke it gives me a code p0016 crankshaft position corellationI brought it to the dealer,but before doing so i flashed my ecu back to stockGot a call the next day saying that they finded out ( kind of ) that my ecu was flashed.So know they have to open the engine and find out exactly whats the issue is.They still dont know if my warranty will be voyed or not What should i do.?????Thank you

Does the Cobb Ap make a big difference from stock for the Focus ST?

good day sir a few days ago I bought a focus st 2014 and they told me I had something cobb but I do not have that device you can do something to leave the normal car that is not tune

Watching these videos on the Ford GocusvST trying to get some ideas for my Fusion SE because they are both using the same engine.

Iv got a BlueFin (UK) port which is exactly the same mine cost around £350 with only a COBRA exhaust and a COBB cold air intake i think the changes are very noticeable

my car was completly off when i installed stage 1 93, didnt realize i was supposed to have car "on" during... car started and drives ok do you think i should reflash?

I just received my new AP3 and still didn't open the box coz I'm wondering would it work with all (USDM, ADM and EDM) and how can I know which of those is my car!

I have a mountune intake only and i run 93oct so what map would I choose stage 1 93oct? what does stage 0 mean I saw that as well?

I have a 2017 st , will it be compatible with mine please help

I just got my access poet today. How did you run the wire? My little plastic door doesn't close when the obdi cable is plugged in. Any suggestions?

I installed my accessport today along with a stage 3 tune but I'm only pushing 6 psi and its a lot slower then before. Any suggestions?

I just received my v3 in the mail from u guys I installed everything correctly, I flashed the car with the stage 1-93 straight off Cobbs website and noticed it made my car slower then stock pushing only around 7psi and no torque really wouldn't move when I floored it so I'm very disappointed in the product right now but I'm hoping that ITsupport can help me out bc it seems like a great product So I'm back to stock tune 😡 Agency power exhaust Turbo smart bov

Hey Bill, so even if you do 1 modification such as a cool air intake upgrade would it be necessary to get the Cobb access port and tune my focus to the stage one tune setting? And if looking to add inter cooler down the line would it be a good idea to go and invest in the cobb access port? I don't have access to a dyno and wasn't planning on dyno testing but would just tuning with the access port be fine?

@Zerogivengarage

10 жыл бұрын

The beauty of the AP is that the tunes that come loaded are safe and effective for someone who may not have access to a dyno or custom tune. As long as your use a tune that is designed for the modifications you have you are good to go. You do not need a tune to run a cold air intake or a FMIC for that matter but both parts will work better with a proper tune.

tbh i didnt notice a lot when i installed this. i noticed some small things like boost timing but nothing major like i hear some people when they say its a new car/ new power band. not feelin it :/

So what happens when I tune, With a completely stock st... and is it not recommended to used regular gas?

what was that extra turbo noise? I tuned my st and i have a little turbo whistle that sounds like a surge. Is that bad?

Do you need to plug in to computer first by getting different tune or the accessport has it already ?

What gains were made on the stage 1 tune?

i have a stock 2015 focus st and run 93 gas what ots map do i want to use???

What if the flatfoot shifting and Launch control does appear?

I just received my AP today and plugged it into my car and installed. Once I get done with the install and the map is loaded the car will not reach any boost pressure above 5psi. The car basically goes into a limp mode. I've installed and uninstall twice each time I've had the same problem. When I do uninstall and go back to stock my ECU freaks out and flashes the CEL. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Do you think my AP is a dud?

Just out of curiosity.. How do you mount the AP and leave it plugged in?? I can't leave mine plugged in because the door to the OBD2 plug just sits there and hangs open.. which really gets in the way of my leg during resting points.. Do I need to cut a hole in the door or am I missing something?

I was just wondering if the accessport can permanently get rid of this code or just shut the o2 sensor off? Now with that being said will I have any issue of passing emissions at all?

On the 2013 Focus St, you have to open that little panel on the left to access the OBD 2 to be able to drive with the tuner plugged in.

Can you use the stage 2 and stage 3 tunes will only a cold air intake and exhaust? Or do you need the intercooler or other mods as well?

@Zerogivengarage

There will be a dyno video answering that question coming soon but the simple answer is yes but they may not be optimal. We tried the stage 3 file with just a cold air intake and an exhaust on the dyno and saw nice gains over the stage 1 and stage 2. The Stage 3 will make more boost though so it is really better of being used with an intercooler and downpipe as it is designed to do.

I have a 13 focus st , catless mid pipe, no resonator, no muffler, rs air box, turbosmart Bob, question I have is can I run the stage 2 or 3 91 octane tune or still stay on the stage 1 until I get the intercooler?

Run whatever stage you want. Aslong as you match the octane rating, you're fine. You might want to monitor your charge temps. But you wont see any damage done with a pre-canned stage 3 cobb tune without an intercooler.

When the Accessport is properly uninstalled using the Uninstall option from the main menu, the ECU is reverted exactly back to stock. In our experience, the dealership is not able to tell if the ECU has been flashed. However, with that said, the AP is not designed to go around any kind of warranty coverage and there may be diagnostics at a much higher level we are unaware of. At the end of the day, it really comes down to how your local dealer handles modifications to the car: some don't mind a few mods and others don't like any. Kyle@COBB
