Cobb Accessport Review

[TheLawnDart]

Overall: easiest and probably cheapest way to get +50hp to the wheels. Some small issues that they can easily fix, but overall I’m happy with it!


Here is a Facebook thread with a quick 2.5min video detailing as much as I can as quick as I can. Below is a chart I made that compares all the current plug and play tunes (as well as my Goose Tuned dyno results). All the data was pulled from their websites. I had to convert the Ford Tune to Wheel Horsepower to match (15% loss assumed).

Here’s a quick run down if you don’t want to watch the video:

Pros:

- Very easy to install/ uninstall

- Cobb loaded tune is one of the fastest on the market

- Check codes easily

- Control pedal sensitivity

- Easily swap tunes (towing, higher octane, upgrades, etc)

- Easily add a custom tune (Goose Tune)

- Can use Mac or PC to update (HP tuners is PC only)

- Easy to read screen that auto-dims


Cons:

- Performance section not functional

- Tire size is not accurate

- No auto start/ stop control


Overall I think it’s a great tune option that opens the door to adding more power with a custom tune. This is certainly the easiest upgrade you can get for over 50hp to the wheels!


One piece of advice: I highly reccomend updating the software on the Cobb Accessport using the computer app prior to install.

Nice comparison for those on the fence, but you state in your post to the wheels, but on the chart is has an asterisk stating converted to at the crank. I assume your text is correct based on numbers but your chart may need a quick edit. Thanks for the info!

Good call! I was planning on converting them to the crank initially then realized only the FP Tune showed to the crank and swapped it to the wheels. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll fix that!

My persoanl preference is bottom end torque and amooth curve so I like the FP best.

I’ve run Cobb tunes on Subarus for 20 years with great results. My current STi makes close to 500 whp. The real benefit is in using it for custom tuning. waiting for them to release the accessport for the 2.3

They're working on 2.3!
