COBB Tuning is seeking candidates to perform BETA testing for the 2006-2009 Honda Civic Si AccessPORT. BETA testing will require installation of a COBB AccessPORT on your 2006-2009 Honda Civic Si, frequent updates to AccessPORT firmware and maps, daily feedback regarding performance of revisions and the emailing of datalogs upon request (recorded via the onboard datalogging capability of the AccessPORT) throughout the entire BETA period. Additional requirements and details will be provided upon being approved for BETA testing.

Extensive BETA testing will be performed for this application to ensure performance and functionality goals are met. The duration of the BETA testing period is unspecified at this time. We are currently looking for candidates with the following modifications:

1. Stock configuration

Candidates approved for BETA testing will receive a 40% discount off the MSRP of the AccessPORT. At the end of the BETA testing period, BETA testers will be given the option of keeping the AccessPORT at no additional expense, or returning the AccessPORT for a full refund within 14 days after the end of the BETA testing.

teggsr925

lame for aem and dc parts

Zeusone

its probbably what the test car had. good to know someone is trying to get tuning done.

2008fijibluesi

Yes and COBB kicks ***. I hope this doesn't fall through.

dirtySOHC's

damn I wish I was back home to participate in this. seems like a cool product and the price is attractive.

w00t692

Info sent. Would be awesome to test this for you guys. laptop would be staying in car for this one.

VitViper

What about people who match a similar configuration? IE.... Injen CAI/DC RH/Exhaust? What makes the intake so special?

FijiBlueFG2

For control purposes.

If the Injen was say on average 0.5hp more powerful than the AEM CAI, the results would be skewed.

w00t692

Because the AEM has airflow vanes for very accurate air/fuel ratio input.

But probably, because the test car had a similar setup.

Kidnkorner

You should have all the facts before posting erroneous info.

The only AEM intake to offer this is the units marketed for the 2007 and newer vehicle which wasn't release until early 2008. There are a lot of 2006 model units floating around.

Overdosedvtec

god i hope this is the answer people have been waiting for

Caveman74

Please someone else beat Hondata

VitViper

That makes sense, but why in the world can't they have a 7th category for people with the Injen? It's quite a popular intake and i'm certainly not going to buy an AEM just so I can run the AccessPort. I sure hope they're planning on releasing maps for the injen.

Kidnkorner

Because it's BETA testing. You expect them to test every combination? Most likely they are testing the most popular set ups (based on sales.)

i-VTEC_DOHC

ha i had a feeling cobb was gonna do this.
because they already tuned cars with dbw features.

w00t692

I'm obviously not so naive that i don't know about the older model AEM intakes my friend. Sorry, maybe THEY should have been more specific, since there are 2 models. You know?

miketat594

lots of cars with dbw have had tuning for a long time already, cobb isnt the only company out there, and civics are not the only cars with dbw, our ucu is our tuning prob , not the dbw...

VitViper

Injen isn't popular? have you looked at the 200whp+ thread on 8thcivic.com?

i-VTEC_DOHC

i know that. at least cobb is publicly going about this.
hondata has been in the shadows about the whole thing. as far as i know they only made one public post stating that they are working on something for our 8th gens. i sorta have a feeling that cobb is gonna come out with something before hondata, but who knows. maybe we should make a poll.
is cobb going to finish first or is hondata? lol

chillout

I'd consider this on my stock 08' however I am not willing to risk my warranty just to have my car be a guinea pig. Sounds like it could be fun though.
