COBB on x35

[bilal04]

Had a look on the net at the Cobb tuning accessport.looks very simple plugs straight into obd and can select maps delete codes etc on the device.

Anyone on the forum got Cobb installed on there x35 cars? Is it as simple as how it looks? How does it fair up against jb? Is it detectable?

Support for any product in SA would rather be the thing to look at.


JB

Xcede


Need i say more....

The Cob is a flash tune and comes preloaded with specific maps fot the X35 or you can request a special protuning map if you have the mods to support it. The car gets flashed through the OBD port using an access port or AP in short. Its quite pricy in the light of the fact that there is no tuning support for it in SA.

There is an official Cobb distributer in SA which you can contact. Or you can also contact Rennzport. We deal/sell the Cobb access port but we dont necessarily provide Cobb tuning support. Flash tuning/mapping is not an interest for us although we understand how the tuning part works.

I agree with Shaun. Decide which tuning route you want to go such as Xcede or piggyback Jb4 and you will have all the support you need right here on the forum. :thumbs:

Howsit Bilal! When deciding,all I can say is the support is just as important as the tune that you decide to go with and Rennzport has been excellent in that regard for me.At times,they have gone beyond the call of duty to assist me!

I have buddies that run xcede and they have only good things to say about them as well.Infact fitted my dp's with Alistair and he was very helpful.

Burgy is also another option and he is always gladly willing to assist.Anyways my point is support is very important.It's not as simple as loading a file/plugging in a piggy and that's that.So whatever you decide,stick with the tried and trusted!

I have the JB4 installed only in my car and I have removed it and sent the car twice already to bmw. Once for a service and once for brakes and tail light bulb replacements. Didn't have any MP issues both times.

I have never had the car dyno'd so I don't know how much more power its making. What I do know is that without the JB it feels kak slow!! :thumbdo:

With the JB on Map 5 and with 95 oct Shell fuel I see 15-16 PSI on the boost gauge consistently. I agree with Outlaw and the likes, go with a tried and tested tune, you will have alot of support from the sponsors selling that particular tune and you will have a host of other people on this forum running the tune to hep out.:thumbs::thumbs:

Now stop moaning and just Tune it already!!!:joy:

r8500 +r5500 unit+custom map

 

[superchip335]

I have Cobb on my Nissan. Works very well. I know the only guy is Craig from nxgen. He is the ONLY authorized dealers i know of, as I wanted to get direct from USA, and was referred to Craig.

Hahahah thanks mo! Yeah jb is Awsom lol I'd Definatly be servicing my car where u send urs lol

I'm very tempted lol jus scared m/plan goes I'm screwed car only has 7600kms.
I have the power kit upgrade as well will it work with the piggyback

 

[Twinz]

Yes, the JB will just piggyback on the Powerpack...infact the JB treats the powerpack as an OEM stock flash tune. When you datalog your car after the JB is installed on your car you would be able to see how the power pack targets boost and the JB4...That is if you going for the off the shelf integrated JB4...When you go for the big daddy...the JB4 with isolated boost control its a whole different fun ball game :thumbs:

My suggestion is enjoy your car for now and perhaps consider an alternative tune much later like at 30 or 50 000 Ks or post MP. But if you have other goals like drag racing or tracking then I personally would not be able to wait :=):

Sounds a whole lot of fun.what is the difference with the jb4 with isolated boost control? Does the g5 board upgrade only for bigger turbos?

Goals are most def drag racing and track lol

 

[Twinz]

The G4 board are slowly being outphased. If you order the G5 now you have to stand in a line due to the demand. The G5 is the way to go, irrespective of your mods whether you run bigger turbos or nitrous....The G5 compared to the G4 provides the best platform for your planned goals. :thumbs:

If M/P is a problem, then rather stay away. Rather be safe than sorry...:thumbs:

Hi Bilal, sorry for the threadjack, i saw in one of your other threads that you did the performance exhaust.......Did you do the powerpack when you did the exhaust, or did you buy the car with the powerpack?
