COBB Tuning releases self-tuning software to MAZDASPEED AccessPORT owners

COBB Tuning announces the release of AccessTUNER Race v1.7 for AccessPORT-equipped MAZDASPEED3 and MAZDASPEED6 vehicles. The AccessPORT is the only hand-held OEM ECU flashing, managing and monitoring device available for the MAZDASPEED3/6. When combined with AccessTUNER Race software, the result is an unrivaled, self-tunable engine management system with all of the sophistication and drivability inherent to the factory ECU.

The availability of AccessTUNER Race rounds out the suite of COBB Tuning Access products available for the MAZASPEED3/6. AccessTUNER Race is a subset of features taken from the powerful AccessTUNER Pro software, designed to give racing teams and self-tuners the ability to create and/or modify map files for themselves. From making minor tweaks to a COBB Tuning base map for maximum performance all the way to authoring fully customized maps for major modification upgrades, AccessTUNER Race puts full tuning control in the hands of the end user.

With the robust feature set of the AccessPORT, the extensive software and service based tuning options and outstanding COBB Tuning customer support, it is easy to see why the COBB AccessPORT is the top engine management choice of MAZDASPEED3 and MAZDAPEED6 enthusiasts.

We Have Our Winners!

COBB Tuning Mustache March Winner

Calvin Dotson, COBB Tuning Calibration Specialist located in the COBB Tuning Plano, TX facility narrowly eeked out a win over strong favorite Christain Krahenbuhl, Sr. Calibration Specialist in Salt Lake City, UT. Calvin managed to bring the victory to Texas by receiving 916 votes for his mustache out of 3,175 votes cast. Christian finished up close behind with a total of 874 votes.

While Christian did not bring home top honors, he does receive an honorable mention for having his name butchered in most spectacular fashion by one of our participants – Kristen Krackenbergur! Yeah!!!

Mustache March AccessPORT Winner

Steve Suter from Michigan was the man with the lucky guess, predicting Calvin Dotson would take the win with the closest number of votes.

Steve claims that the MAZDASPEED6 AccessPORT that is on its way to him fits in perfectly with his modification strategy and will most likely accelerate his plans for engine mods.

Steve is active in the MAZDASPEED community and goes by “tunersteve” on the COBB Tuning Forum, Mazda 24/7 Forum and MAZDASPEED Forum.
