Posted by Travis on 24 Aug 2010 | Tagged as: Announcements, GT-R, Nissan, Product Updates, SF Intake
COBB Tuning’s popular SF intake system is now available for the Nissan R35 GT-R. Constructed of polished 2.75-inch diameter aluminum tubing with K&N dry-fabric, cone filter elements and 3-ply silicone couplers; the SF Intake System is easy to install and requires no special tuning.
Increased Power
The COBB Tuning SF Intake removes a pre-turbo restriction in the stock intake system. Power gains become more pronounced at higher boost pressures. This dyno graph shows the power gain across the rev range at 17 psi simply by installing this intake.
Easy to Install
The COBB Tuning SF Intake was designed to be easy to install without having to modify your car or remove the bumper skin. Installation requires no cutting or trimming or removal of the bumper skin or bumper support and can be completed with simple hand tools. Simply remove the stock airbox and bolt the SF intake into place in just minutes!
No Calibration Needed
The SF Intake for the R35 GT-R has been painstakingly designed to eliminate the need for a specific intake calibration. This intake is 100% compatible with the stock calibration as well as all Off the Shelf AccessPORT maps.
Increased Induction Sound
Enjoy the increased snort and snarl from your GT-R with the addition of the COBB Tuning SF Intake system. Turbocharger induction noise and bypass valve venting sound is now louder thanks to the new this intake system! Don’t just look the part, sound like it too!
The COBB Tuning SF Intake system comes with everything you need to improve the performance potential of your R35 GT-R. Add the COBB Tuning Silicone Intercooler Hose Kit to complete your engine’s intake system to enhance your car’s under-hood appeal!

EVO X AccessPORT and AccessTUNER Updates Now Available
Posted by Gary on 19 Aug 2010 | Tagged as: AccessPORT, AccessTUNER Pro, AccessTUNER Race, Product Updates
EVO X AccessPORT users can now update their AccessTUNER Race software and AccessPORT firmware to take advantage of the newest releases for the EVOX.
This latest AccessTUNER software update includes Pass-Through tuning. Users now have the ability to connect their computer to the ECU through the AccessPORT, eliminating the need to move the calibration from the PC to the AccessPORT, then switch cables and flash the new map to the ECU with the AccessPORT. The tuning workflow is greatly simplified, allowing for quicker tuning with less hassle.
Support has been added to the 2008 JDM EVO X SST and these vehicles can now be tuned with AccessTUNER Race. Starting with the OEM calibration, overseas tuners now have the ability to tune the 2008 JDM EVO X SST with the same control and access to the ECU previously only available to USDM vehicles.
Additional improvements to the software include a data logging enhancement which eliminates the issue of duplicate data entries as well as a bug fix that resolves the idle air tables issues.
This software upgrade also reflects the latest changes to the v1.07 Off the Shelf maps (released on 08/03/10) that fix the idle issue present on previous versions of the OTS maps. All maps made with previous versions of AccessTUNER Race will need to be updated with this revised software.
To update to the latest version of firmware, simply plug the AccessPORT into a PC and run AccessPORT Updater. Visit the AccessTUNER Race Request Page to get the latest version of the software.
This update is available now! Head over to COBB Tuning.com for more information, call us at 801-713-0035 or email us at tech@cobbtuning.com.
