TravisCOBB Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 http://blogs.cobbtuning.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/accessport-image-and-logo.jpg COBB Tuning is seeking candidates to participate in a Launch Control and Flat Foot Shift beta test for all manual transmission turbo Subaru models supported by the AccessPORT. Launch Control allows the user to set the RPM the ECU will hold the engine at while the clutch is depressed and the throttle is held wide open. This will build some boost pressure, providing more power at launch and make it easier for the driver to manage a performance launch. Flat Foot Shift allows the user to set the RPM the ECU will hold between upshifts while the clutch is depressed and the throttle is held wide open. This allows the driver to hold the throttle pedal to the floor between shifts and maintain partial boost during upshifting events. This beta test applies to the following vehicles: 2004-2007 STI: AP-SUB-002 > LC & FFS 2008-2010 STI: AP-SUB-003 > LC & FFS 2002-2005 WRX: AP-SUB-001 > LC Only 2006-2007 WRX: AP-SUB-002 > LC & FFS 2008-2009 WRX: AP-SUB-003 > LC & FFS 2004-2006 Forester XT: AP-SUB-002 > LC & FFS 2007-2009 Forester XT: AP-SUB-003 > LC & FFS 2005-2006 Legacy GT: AP-SUB-002 > LC & FFS 2007-2009 Legacy GT: AP-SUB-003 > LC & FFS 2005-2006 Outback XT: AP-SUB-002 > LC & FFS 2007-2009 Outback XT: AP-SUB-003 > LC & FFS Interested candidates should send an email to subaru.beta@cobbtuning.com with Subaru LC and FFS Beta Candidate as the email subject the following information information contained in the email message: Full Name: Address: Are You Able to Visit the SLC, Plano or Portland Facility?: (Y/N) (COBB Tuning would like to test some additional vehicles first hand) Vehicle Model Year: Vehicle Model: Transmission Type: Current AccessPORT Map on ECU: List of Power Modifications: COBB Tuning will be selecting candidates to ensure adequate testing coverage across vehicle models and model years. Not all candidates will become beta testers, otherwise the beta test will become too large to be effectively managed. Once beta testing is complete, the LC and FFS features will be rolled out to the entire AccessPORT user community in an official firmware upgrade. We are looking forward to bringing these features to Subaru tuning enthusiasts! Thank you for your continued support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05lgt5spd Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 ^^^seriously, I had my car tuned by the shop in portland, they are 20mins from me, but i dont think i want to be the test subject for such a thing. Not unless there was some benefit from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groff Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Im not doubting their tuning capabilities, im doubting the mechanical strength of 5speed subaru transmissions I had LC+FFS on my stock 5sp with 440 to the wheels, things held up for a while then my 4th gear synchro started to go and I put the 6sp in. The average person on these forums doesn't have power to break stuff other than the clutch which needs to go anyway as soon as the car is bought. I'm guessing this LC+FFS combo will be a bit more robust than the tinywrex OS patch, but less aggressive than a UTEC or standalone's, is this a safe assumption?

There is a member who completely shattered 2nd gear ffs his stage II w/ a fmic legacy gt at the 1/4 mile. I completely grenaded my 3rd gear doing a rolling pull on a 30r stock location turbo making around 370wtq. I certainly wouldnt trust it. 06 TB EVO IX SE stock turbo monster subaru hater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
