COBB Accessport | 23+ Civic Type R FL5, 23+ Integra Type S DE5

INTRODUCING FL5/DE5 ACCESSPORT TUNING

Today, we are SUPER excited to bring that same dose of COBB love to the newest generation Civic Type R and Integra Type S with the Accessport, Off The Shelf Maps, Accesstuner Pro custom tuning, and COBB Custom Features.

Support will consist of the Accessport with its core functionality – including COBB Custom Features (Launch Control, Flat Foot Shifting and Burnout Mode), gauge monitoring and data logging, performance metrics, trouble code read and reset, and Stage 1 Off The Shelf (OTS) Maps for, 91 and 93 octane fuel as well as custom tuning capabilities via Accesstuner Pro.

HOW IT WORKS – UNLOCKING YOUR ECU

Tuning your Honda Civic Type R (FL5) or Acura Integra Type S (DE5) doesn’t have to be hard and the Accessport is the all inclusive tuning option you’ve been looking for.

When you purchase an Accessport for your car we will ship a custom ECU box for you to send us your ECU to be unlocked.  Once you have received the ECU box with custom foam & anti-static sleeve, you will uninstall your car’s ECU and pack it up for shipping to COBB HQ with the provided shipping label.  

To minimize downtime, next day air shipping both ways is included with your Accessport purchase!  No additional hidden fees for unlocking or shipping and super fast service.  Tuning your Type R or Type S couldn’t be easier.

Please follow these steps to remove and ship your ECU to COBB

INCLUDED COBB OFF THE SHELF MAPS:

Stage0 v100

Stage1 91 OCT

Stage 1 93 OCT

Our Stage 1 files are aimed at really taking advantage of what Honda has left on the table.  With increased boost pressure and more aggressive timing/fueling curves, and much more, we are able to produce a significant increase in both low end torque as well as top end power.  For more information about COBB Off The Shelf Maps for the FL5 and DE5 including notes about fuel and part requirements, head to our Map Notes Page.

Power gains over stock for the Integra Type S are slightly lower than the Civic Type R as the Integra benefits from an extra bump in power in stock form.  

Note: below graphs are from a Mustang Dyno, which is our own experiences from dyno readings done for the UNITYSI and UNITYCTR, the Mustang Dyno reads about 10-12% lower than the Dynojet, which is what most Honda tuners have used. Later dyno sessions at a Dynojet for the Unity builds confirmed as such.

COBB CUSTOM FEATURES

LAUNCH CONTROL

Our implementation of Launch Control is much more than a basic secondary rev limiter.  It uses combination of fuel and ignition cut, plus dynamic rev limiting and load targeting based on rear (undriven) wheel speed.  This setup ensures maximum repeatability in the driving mechanics of launching so that you can focus on dialing in vehicle configuration.  The system will automatically control wheel slip using fuel and ignition cuts as well as automatically control target load (boost/torque) as you accelerate through first and second gears (so long as first and second gears are linked via a flat foot shift).  When using COBB OTS Maps, expect to see between 4-6psi of boost built while stationary.

Six different Launch Control Rev Limit Slots are configurable in Accesstuner Pro and selectable via the Accessport.  In the table above you can see how each slot will behave when using COBB Off The Shelf Maps.  Each slot has a specific starting RPM limit while the vehicle is stationary which then progresses up as un-driven (rear) wheel speed increases post-launch.

Beyond the dynamic RPM Limit, we also offer dynamic Load based on un-driven wheel speed.  This consists of a tunable table within Accesstuner Pro and a user-adjustable scalar on the Accessport itself.

FLAT FOOT SHIFTING

Hey, a Fuel-Cut RPM Limiter that actually works!  We often see complaints of this feature being great, when it works, on other tuning platforms so it only made sense to make ours more robust.  Our Flat Foot Shifting system successfully keeps the throttle plate open and bypass valve shut to retain positive boost pressure during shifts.  The FFS RPM Limit is set to a default of 5500 RPM in COBB OTS Maps.  It is configurable on the Accessport by increments of 50 RPM.  For custom tunes, a Protuner can set the default starting value in Accesstuner Pro.

BURNOUT MODE

Enabling burnout mode is straight forward.  Simply press and hold the ‘Cruise’ button on the car’s steering wheel while simultaneously going through the standard Launch Control Steps.  Holding the ‘Cruise” button pushes the Launch Control RPM limit out of the way, allowing for wheel speed to increase to a point where building heat is quicker and easier. Once you have completed a burnout, simply release the ‘Cruise’ button and move forward with the normal Launch Control steps.  The Burnout Mode Limit is set to 6000RPM in COBB OTS Maps.  It is not adjustable on the Accessport but can be configured in Accesstuner Pro by a Protuner.

ACCESSTUNER PRO CUSTOM TUNING

For those interested in custom tuning, our Accesstuner Pro software also now supports these vehicles.  Any of our Authorized Honda Protuners can create a custom calibration for use with your Accessport.
