I had Ppk before, and installed cobb after I saved it. Then I uninstalled cobb. How can I know if ppk was reinstalled correctly and not some other stock map?
Is there a code or number i can check with my cobb reader? |

Shoot josh an email directly at josh.dankel@cobbtuning.com and inquire there. I honestly wouldn't mind having some idle tables available on I8AOS myself.

secondly, once you plug in your AP to OBDII it will tell you your ROM.

Just installed stage 1 aggressive. Apparently I had a tune on my car from the previous owner but overwrote it. Install went well, only took about 20 minutes.
Drives ok, have misfires on cyl4 when i really get on it. Otherwise can definitely feel a difference. Gonna baby it tomorrow and change the plugs on Saturday. Hopefully that fixes the misfire. |

cobb atr table information
In all the cobb threads i have not yet seen a comprehensive explanation of what each table controls. Some stuff is obvious whereas some tables are cryptic in description. Can anyone point me to this info ?

Then it appears the work began of identifying what could be identified. If you know what you're looking for timing and fuel tables kind of have a signature look and if you understand assembly language you can figure out some additional things. Once you at least have figured out the main timing and fuel table and found something that will allow you to influence boost you have the basics you need to start selling a product. Any additional tables you can understand are just a bonus. My assumption coming into this was that Cobb had a complete understanding of every table they allowed access to, but since then I've come to the conclusion that nobody does. Not to insult anybody, but the tuning world now seems to be about providing access to at least most of whatever tables are found, identifying the most important ones if possible and then letting nature take its course as the most motivated customers experiment. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I was mislead thinking the labels on the tables meant that the table was exactly what the label said it was and I no longer believe that. Bottom line, there is no comprehensive explanation other than the Cobb docs, and I would not take the labels on the maps as gospel. The high end tuners such as PTF and JZW seem to have put the most time into gaining the best understanding of the full range of what's going on (possibly working with Cobb in PTF's case) but part of their competitive advantage is to not publish everything they know. Anyway, that's how I see it as of this morning. |

Finally stepping up and doing a pro tune . Been sitting at stage 2 +fmic aggressive LT for a while. Hopefully it will be a big difference. I was thinking about just doing the 93oct tune but since I have access to e85 ill be going that route. Ill start posting dynos, times in the near future.

any insight on current map revisions in the works? I am running stage 1 + FMIC LT aggressive. I wouldn't mind a bit of the throttle lag worked out.

I wouldnt get your hopes up for significant pump gas OTS map revisions, theyre pretty solid right now outside of some boost overshoot issues on the more aggressive maps. Cobb can only do so much before a certain % of users fall outside of their safe OTS range, because of that the maps generally speaking have to be very conservative and un-tuned to your specific car. They have to work equally well for people in Lubbock, and people in Denver. Which is why pro-tuning is so valuable. You could use ATR to have boost come on more aggressively if thats your goal. But I get the sense theyre pretty happy with the 4.02 OTS maps.

I would have swapped coils first. Unless your spark plugs were due anyways.

Finally got around to logging and of course as I go out I throw a boost leak code. The first I've had but it may explain why I don't feel st2+ kicking my ass like I thought it would, unless somethings just horribly wrong with my data log. If you guys could take a peek at it and let me know what you think I'd appreciate it. I cant seem to get the excel spread sheet to work on my mac.
90F in phoenix AZ. St 2+ with VRSF DP, VRSF IC, BMC DCI, modified exhaust on 91 octane. |

I just had some issues you guys may be able to help me with.
So today I got new spark plugs on my 2008 335i at BMW, and of course uninstalled the Cobb before I went in. Afterwards I put the Cobb back on, aggressive stage 1 on 93. (I only have a K and N filter, rest of the car is stock) So today was fairly hot and humid here, even at night around 80. As soon as I installed it and drove away in D, partial throttle, I heard a whistle that was louder than I had heard before, even while having Cobb installed. It went away. I did a few runs, and when the car was pretty hot, i.e over 250 degrees oil temp by a line, I noticed some strange things. First, when going WOT through 3rd and 4th gear, generally from 60mph to 80mph or so, I got a really strange vibration from the back of the car. This would only happen while WOT and while the car was really warmed up and hot. After it cooled down a bit, it would not happen. Is this normal? Is it the extra torque? Spark plugs are new so I'm not sure what could be happening. No codes at all came up with the reader. I could not duplicate this with just PPK. Seems like only Cobb made it happen. And the car definitely sounded really heat soaked too, at this point. |

In terms of hardware what would cause a timing pull? I just added a DCI so I decreased any restriction on the intake side and I'm running DPs for the exhaust side. Plugs are only about 10k old. From what I understand peak boost is similar between stage 1 and stage 2 but timing is the big difference. Its almost as if I should just run the stage 1+ map until I can figure all this out. I'll add some e85 and get some logs. I appreciate your help. |
