Nissan GT-R Record Breaking Power with COBB AccessPORT

November 16th, 2009 Redline Motive No comments

gtr-cobb

GOTO:Racing’s GT-R represents the very edge of development for this particular platform. There are perhaps a handful of fully race-prepared GT-Rs in the world. Of course, because this vehicle is not a factory effort, the progress on the GOTO GT-R is a direct reflection of the aftermarket industry that supports the GT-R. GOTO:Racing and the Lock family have prepared a state of the art chassis. However, at a comparatively heavy 3,400 pounds, this race car needs serious power to be competitive.

gtr-cobb-1

The GOTO:Racing GT-R is equipped with the COBB Tuning AccessPORT and custom mapping from a collaboration of Tim Bailey from COBB Tuning Surgeline, Portland, OR and Jon Drenas of HB Speed, Hunington Beach, CA. This form of engine management was a natural choice with the stock turbo chargers and just over 520whp, but some suggested with the recent addition of larger turbos from AMS and fuel injectors from Deatschwerks, that a standalone engine management system was needed. We are pleased to demonstrate in no uncertain terms that the COBB Tuning AccessPORT, with supporting modifications and competent tuning, is capable of coordinating extremely high horsepower.

Specifications:
Vehicle – 2010 Nissan GTR – race prepared by GOTO Racing/Brian Lock Racing
Engine – stock GT-R
Turbo – AMS stock location turbo upgrade
Injectors – Deatschwerks (800cc)
Fuel – 100 octane unleaded
Exhaust– fully catless 3”
Intake – Custom Harman Motive 3.1” ID intake with stock MAF sensors

Technical Tuning details
The key to tuning this car is the addition of the larger inner diameter intakes, kindly supplied by Harman Motive. The stock intake inner diameter is just 2.5-inches. This substantive increase in intake cross sectional area means that we can accurately measure up to 40% more airflow than is possible with the stock intake system. As you can see from the graph below, we were able to flow close to the limits of the MAF sensor without saturating their 5-Volt limit.

Because we were able to accurately meter airflow throughout the full RPM and boost range, the tuned stock ECU can easily control ignition timing and fueling. We have supplied relevant information for the rest of the tuning parameters in the additional graphs.

AEM Recirculation Style Water / Meth Pump, K-Type Thermocouple, & Brass Pressure Sensors

August 31st, 2009 Redline Motive No comments

Recirculation-Style Water/Methanol Injection Pumps

AEM Performance Electronics announces the release of a running upgrade to their Water/Methanol Injection Kits. This new recirculation-style pump offers more consistent flow at higher line pressures across its entire delivery curve to ensure maximum atomization for increase air charge cooling and combustion control/efficiency on forced induction gas and diesel engines. This new pump design now comes standard in every AEM Water/Methanol Injection Kit or can be purchased as a separate upgrade for existing systems. AEM’s recirculation-style pump offers improved performance, reliability and a much smoother, quieter operation when compared to older switched-style pumps. With the use of a new internal bypass design, AEM’s upgraded pump eliminates the erratic on and off switching/pulsing and ensures consistent fluid delivery for optimum performance. With durability and reliability in mind, AEM has designed the pump with a Santoprene diaphragm and EPDM seals to withstand the harshest of alcohol mixes. View the old / new pump comparison video above

AEM Brass Sensor Kits

AEM Performance Electronics has expanded its line of pressure sensors to include a line of high quality brass pressure sensors at an affordable price. Each sensor kit includes a brass pressure sensor and standard 3-pin weatherproof flying lead connector. All sensor connections are 1/8” NPT. These new sensor offer a lower price alternative to the AEM Stainless Steel pressure sensors (30-2130). These new brass sensors are a less expensive alternative for the budget minded crowd. AEM would still recommend their stainless steel sensors for anyone with a higher-end build or race car that requires that level of accuracy and durability.

K-Type Thermocouple & Wiring Extension Kit

AEM Performance Electronics introduces a new rugged K-Type thermocouple at an affordable price. The K-Type thermocouples have a 12” flying lead with standard ring terminals for easy connection. A stainless steel compression mount is also included with each thermocouple. The thermocouple extension kit includes 10’ of thermocouple wire terminated with standard ring terminal connections at one end for easy connection to the K-Type thermocouple. The other end is terminated with the AEM Electronics 3-pin sensor connector for easy connection to a wide variety of AEM Performance Electronics products.

COBB Releases 06-09 Civic Si AccessPORT

June 10th, 2009 Redline Motive No comments

COBB Tuning announces immediate availability of the AccessPORT for the 2006-2009 Honda Civic Si. The AccessPORT is the industry’s premier hand-held OEM ECU flashing, managing and monitoring device. The AccessPORT is the first hand-held device available for the Honda Civic Si that performs an ECU flash through the vehicle’s OBDII port. Just plug it in, load the maps and go! Faster!

Unlock power hidden within the ECU by replacing conservative factory settings with more aggressive calibrations. The result is impressive gains in torque and horsepower while maintaining a high degree of safety. The AccessPORT comes with pre-installed maps that are optimized for common performance modifications. Performance gains across the entire power band can be quickly realized in the short time it takes to flash the vehicle’s ECU with the AccessPORT. No tools are required. No additional “piggy-back” hardware. No mailing the factory ECU across the country. No vehicle downtime. No waiting. Just plug the AccessPORT in, flash the ECU and enjoy the thrill of increased torque and horsepower!

Flashing the ECU for increased performance is just the start of what the AccessPORT is capable of. Set the AccessPORT to Performance mode to capture 0-60MPH times, ¼ Mile times and Trap Speeds. The dynamometer simulator shows performance differences between maps/mods. Switch over to Live Data and choose a data channel to monitor, such as; Actual AFR, Barometric Pressure, Coolant Temp, Fuel Trims (short and long), Ignition Advance, Intake Temperature, MAP, Mass Airflow, Intake Valve Advance, VTEC Status and many more. The built-in data logger allows easy recording of monitors for detailed analysis of the vehicle’s performance. Troubleshooting mode is for diagnosing issues by reading trouble codes and clearing them once issues have been resolved.

The AccessPORT can be used to eliminate separation anxiety when you are away from your vehicle. Protect your investment when out on the town by loading the Valet map to prevent the engine from revving above 3,200 rpm. Load the Anti-Theft map when you park to make it impossible to start. And in the event the car must be returned to its stock configuration, the AccessPORT can be completely uninstalled and the ECU restored to its factory condition.

The upcoming availability of AccessTUNER Pro and AccessTUNER Race will allow professional engine tuners and experienced end users alike to custom tune any combination of modifications to achieve their maximum power potential. This duo of powerful tuning applications will allow tuning flexibility from minor tweaks of base maps all the way to complete custom map authoring. Stay tuned for more information regarding AccessTUNER Pro and AccessTUNER Race availability in the near future.

The new AccessPORT for the Honda Civic Si will help satisfy your hunger for more power, flexibility and control. Access the Potential of your Honda Civic Si today!
