Fine knock learn is interesting. You can hold throttle in the area where it senses knock and the AP will reduce it by .2 increments until back to zero.
This is the best subaru channel on utube, I have learned a lot , and made some wise decisions along the way based on all the information ,thanks for taking the time🙌
@@Smeedia I hope you don’t lose too many viewers with the Golf R content. I’ll still watch of course but it’s hard to relate since I’ll never own one. Love your production and attention to detail in all videos!
not only is this dude a solid fucker when it comes to explaining things like this for us, but he also is some sort of Subaru wizard. truly a great channel
It is amazing how much better the car operated from factory after flashing it to a new map! Soo freaking happy I got an access port. The car breathes so much better and runs better. No hinderance to my MPG either. Must buy if you own a Subie
This is the best video detailing the cobb AP and the values. Can't tell you how much I see people ask on reddit about cobb ap values. So informative to help put drivers at ease and just enjoy the driving experience.
Extra comment for people with the VA chassis WRX (FA20DIT). The knock sensor on that car is extremely sensitive and it is normal to see DAM values ranging from 0.612-1.000 so don't get worried when it drops when the weather gets warm or there is a small event. Edit. Also that car will show a -1.41 Feedback Knock when the ac turns on but thats also fine.
@Cody 404 honestly in my experience almost anything will trigger the -1.41. even just accelerating in too high of a gear (like hitting the gas at 60 in 6th gear)
Thank you for making this video. After 3 years of handling and aesthetic mods I just ordered stage 1+ from the cobb site to start performance mods. It’s a small bit but it’s a start:)
I saw that Flat-Foot Shifting clip and thought to myself, “Is that dude in WA like me??” Then I checked your YT bio and saw Puyallup. Hello fellow PNW driver! I’m a old truck guy, I own 8 of them but ever since I got my Subaru I’ve been watching your videos. Other than about 800 miles on a $500 Honda I bought last year all my time behind the wheel is in trucks so I’m really excited to finally have a car I really like! I only recently joined the Subaru community haha
Do all these values generally apply to my ‘98 Subaru? I know that’s pretty old for all these cars but to be quite honest, this is my first OBD2 vehicle and I’m not used to being able to plug stuff into the vehicles computer lolol
Ah yes, the very first thing I got for my STi 5 years ago. I recommend it to anyone who has it available for their vehicle. And I say it's a MUST for Subie owners! 🙂
This is perfect cause the STI had a COBB V3 accessport, intake, and axle back exhaust. I also have about an 2-3k worth of parts on order. I can’t wait to get my STI next week
Just finished my HP Academy EFI Tuning Fundamentals Course last week and the EFI University Cobb Accesstuner Certificate today. Good knowledge to have.
Eeeyyy!! Recently learned that in case of an error/cel if you select the code and press ok the AP tells you what the issue/code and what needs fixing. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥 awesome content my dude!!
@@Smeedia thank you so much ! I had a 2011 Sedan 5-6 years ago and had to sell cause of school at the time; worst decision I’ve made. I’m so grateful to be back in a Subaru. All the best to you
You explained this wonderfully. Ive always owned really older cars ie: you use a screwdriver or wrench to adjust stuff. Now that ive got a new 2016 Lancer. Well, im going to go a little wild to make it a enjoyable, fun daily driver. I love being able to see exactly whats going on with the car. That aspect makes me a bit happy, after shelling out such a huge amount of money for this thing.
This channel need recognition and a award itself, waiting the dealer to bring up my subaru sti limited and first thing on buying is a weeding ring (COBB) to start with. First timer here on this platform and a noob question following: Can anybody explain in their words what is this Feedback Knock? New to this words terms on high tiers cars. Thanks in advance!
Feedback knock is when thr knock sensor picks up on detonation. Essentially the ECu detects combustion events when they shouldent be happening. Detonation will destroy the gas layer protecting thr piston and the valves, the extreme heat from thr k oak event is what leads to burnt valves and broken ringlands 🙏
Man I am glad you touched on it and you nailed it. The A/P while being an awesome tool can cause severe anxiety for some people making them believe issues exist that really don't. Great vid but also really good you touched on the idea that over consumption of data can ruin a driving experience.
This is great. Another newbie question is "what is this sound from my engine?" E.g knock, injector tick, piston slap, valvetrain noise, just old engine being old, etc. And what does a fresh engine sound like for comparison.
Thank god for this video. I rarely rarely get a 1.40 FKLN and today I looked over and seen that and about had a heart attack. The cars got the stage 1 tune w/Cobb intake and never really beat on it so I was like “wtf” but now that I know it’s possible phantom or just normal. 100k miles still running great thanks to a lot of your mod recommendations. Thank you sir
@@tyger2000 I agree with tanner with his question if it was only a 1 time deal. I’d like to add. Was it under normal driving conditions? Did you almost stall that day? What other mods are being ran? And was the tune with those mods included, Bc that’s a big adjustment. Sometimes if you monitor the heart attack box (Cobb tuner) sometimes you will see the way you drive or mistakes in the driving sometimes trigger the ecu to adjust for that very mistake.
Another great detailed vid mate, so looking forward to the next 2 weeks when we fit the accessport and have the upgrades done to the STI, i will revisit this vid to take all of it in while we do a few runs, these vids you do are priceless mate, cheers.
The term for pairing your AccessPort to your vehicle is called "marrying". When I got my AP, I got on bended knee in front of my STi. She accepted. We've been the happiest couple ever since then.
Indeed had my subie for over a year now def learned to stop having anxiety over it and treat it like my previous cars/ gfs just make sure you both have a healthy relationship inside and out and are communicating 😂
Hey man! Your videos are super helpful and Im sure I speak for almost everyone when I say that we appreciate the lengths and efforts you put in each video! I was wondering if you could do a discussion topic over lightweight pulley versus the OEM crank pulley versus perhaps a fluidampr crank pulley? Thank you so much for the knowledge!
Man yet again more premo grade A content. You sir are epically awesome and really seem to love helping and educating and you are damn good at it and it's greatly appreciated my friend. Ps. Found the original owner of my 07 wrx and unfortunately I can't use my AP as it was turned with rom raider (for her pro tune)but I now know all the mods and power levels ect. very happy about all that, but definitely appreciate everything you do man
Havn’t bought a access port yet but thanks for all the info. Just so much people complain about DAM on facebook groups. I have just been wondering what DAM is lol. Now I know!
Dang man, thank you so much for making this video. I deal with anxiety on a regular basis, especially with my car. This has been a big help. Like you said it can definitely ruin the driving experience. Not any more. I feel like I can beat on it a bit now and not freak out every other time I take it out. 🙏💥💥💥
Thanks to AP we tune our own car and it really brought out lots of power and made it way faster. Its very fun to mess around with and feel the differences.
Thank you so much for doing this video, really helpfull. Got a whole bunch of Cobb stuff for my Subie including the A/P and I'm eager to learn from your video how to set it up properly. I'm familiar with flat engines but this is my first Subie and boy, these engines are itchy (LOL). It's good to know what's actually going on in there. Looking forward to the next vid.
THANK YOU!!!! My tuner does not want to take time to answer this questions.. I constantly get a -1.40 F B k L. all the time. Thank you... taking the AC down...I am getting the shakes from looking at this thing..
Very informative video. Great job! Found a nice donor at the junkyard last week. Scooped a sick Kenwood headunit someone uninstalled and just left in there as well as a new center console lid. Went back today and got the driver window regulator w/ motor that I suspect I need for the FXT, which someone also uninstalled and left there. Hey, less work I have to do right? And as a bonus a g35 sedan in my exact rare color was in there. Gonna grab a door or two and a fender over the next few days.
Great video and perfect timing. My AP and intake came in the mail and I went for a mountain drive today:) it’s not fast but it’s way more fun to drive with more turbo noises! I forgot how much I missed them, I could even hear the wastegate opening a couple times on WOT. Anyway You showed me more about how to use it than the instructions the AP came with. Thx🤙
May get one of these if the opportunity arises, but I'm fine without the anxiety port too xD. Still gotta get my ECU unlocked and a tune in, but I'm at about 300 miles on the RA block, oil change after I got home from the builder. (120 mi). I figure I'll probably do the oil change at 5-600 miles once more with conventional 10w-30 and then throw in the Motul X-cess Gen 2 and Purolator filter I picked up (at 1000)! I can't wait for my break in period to be over but I don't wanna just throw away money just driving for solely that reason 😂. Can't be throwing away money when you got a wife and kid lol
Depends if your the basic sub owner that just wants to aound cool by adding a exhaust and a intake that doesnt really do a ton for yoi anyways then yes absolutely the accesport is a must because the gagues are nice and etunes with the right tuner are super convieniant. Due to the green speed update e85 or flexfuel went out the window. With the newer subs you can retain all the emissions stuff but with the older ones it was way easier to do the deletes and run the the flexfuel kit and get some pretty nice power gainz.
@@crimescene25 Yoo you need some cheaper than MSRP parts? :D I've got a few bits and pieces laying around. Whiteline end links, killer b oil pickup, perrin pitch stop, blah blah. Couple sets of tires too!
Great video!! I just bought a 2018 WRX and found a Cobb in the glovebox. I had never heard of it before so im trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can. I have one question though. The previous owner has the boost max set at around 22 lbs. That seems high to me and Im concerned with hurting the motor. What would be your recommendation? Thank you so much and I appreciate the video and help!!
I had an accessport I used in my 2015 wrx worked great but I had 6 data readings like this video but I switched to my 04 wrx now n only have one data reading now can I change that or no since the age?
Just saw your video on ordering your 2022 BRZ and it was great. I want to buy the new 2022 BRZ, but I want to know how much the deposit was and also if Subaru is offering leasing on it. Kind Regards and keep the great work
I’ve very new to this. I just bought a 2019 WRX. It has the Cobb intake, the black Cobb intercooler and the cat back exhaust . I found the Cobb AP in the glove box and I believe they reset the car back to stock. I plugged in the access port and had to re install the Cobb AP and noticed he had a bunch of different stage 2 maps. I’m just curious on what I should do? I appreciate anyone who takes the time to help
Hey Tanner. I have a 2020 Sti with 30K and recently had a Cobb SF intake, IAG AOS, cylinder 4 cooling mod and Cobb Accessport installed with a pro tune. In the past 2 days the AP has recorded a fine knock learn of -6.90 and -7. The feedback knock has not gone over -4.20 and my DAM has stayed at 1 at all times. Any reason to be concerned with the fine knock learn numbers? Thanks
I really like your videos bud. Your very informative and have bring great humor along with it. Big Fan! I just installed the stage 1+ OTS map from Cobb. My cars feedback knock was as low as -3.81 never positive tho. Should I be concerned? Also about how long does it take for the AP to learn your car?
Nothing to stress about and totally normal value. You'll see up to -4.20 considered normal for knock readings. And it will continue to learn but after a reflash let it idle for 15 min or so then drive it normal for the first 10 miles or so
Just got 1 of last 2021 STI's ordered from factory. Can I add exhaust and shirt ram air intake without a tune?? And what's best exhaust? My first subaru wanna do it all right!!
He just called out a bunch of owners when he said they only use launch control for the sound 😂. I mean like, that's exactly what I want it for but damn
Should do a open source video with the btssm app for Android users. Would be an interesting video. But Cobb is kind of like the staple for majority of subies owner and the easiest to understand.
So I bought a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 with an Cobb Accessport already on it, and a problem I have is where the previous owner set the rev limiter, which is why I'm watching this video, but my problem now is that under the tuning section of my Accessport the "adjustments" tab isn't there, is there a way to add it or should I contact a professional tuner about this problem
hey man, I just bought a 2006 WRX STI. it had an existing Evap leak that I fixed, I had to unplug the battery and pull the alternator to get to it. Previously the car never knocked over -4.0, now I see a value of -11.0 when I come up a hill. Just cruising, no boost, going ~60-65 in sixth gear. any suggestions?
I have an 04(so 1-16 DAM). I was driving normally this friday and i was slowly speeding up on the highway. Didnt even hit boost. And my DAM dropped to 4. No Feedback knock or anything. This is the second time its done this. First time, it went bacl to 16 within 40 miles. Very strange. Gonna do a smoke test for evap leaks this weekend
@@Smeedia well that makes me feel a bit better lol. Makes no sense to me. I did put a newer turbo(same vf39)/ewg(same spring as the oem iwg) since its been tuned. It hit 0psi and yeeted. Could just be hitting boost more efficiently with the ewg. And it pissed the car off. Looking to get it tuned again.
Super helpful video since i just got my 14 hatch and is there like Subaru forums where I can ask questions? My hatch got the engine replaced with the 2.0 liter instead of 2.5 and I wanted to buy a tomiei exhaust but not sure if I could just buy the exhaust made for the ej25 or I had to get a different one.
I have a 2012 wrx Kinda new to this, still learning. About to install Perrin intake, invidia cat back exhaust with down pipe and Cobb access port. Any recommendations what I should do and not? Thank you in advance
Sick access port in your pants 😂😂😂😂
Was waiting for that one 🤣🤣🤣
@@Smeedia hey where is the boost parameter in the access port if it does not say boost
Fine knock learn is interesting. You can hold throttle in the area where it senses knock and the AP will reduce it by .2 increments until back to zero.
Yessssir, it fixing itself 🔥

Hey if you’re still looking for a decent starter Tig welder, Eastwood has some. Non strike start style too!
Ended up getting a tig only and doing much better now 😁🔥
@@Smeedia niiice! Def future content?
Depends if your the basic sub owner that just wants to aound cool by adding a exhaust and a intake that doesnt really do a ton for yoi anyways then yes absolutely the accesport is a must because the gagues are nice and etunes with the right tuner are super convieniant. Due to the green speed update e85 or flexfuel went out the window. With the newer subs you can retain all the emissions stuff but with the older ones it was way easier to do the deletes and run the the flexfuel kit and get some pretty nice power gainz.
Thank you so much for this video I am ironically trying to get one today!!! $650 + tax😁
Eyyyyy perfect timing!
Yooo you in CO? I just unmarried my v3 and sold my STi.
@@AltDotAlex I am lol no joke.
@@crimescene25 Yoo you need some cheaper than MSRP parts? :D I've got a few bits and pieces laying around. Whiteline end links, killer b oil pickup, perrin pitch stop, blah blah. Couple sets of tires too!
@@AltDotAlex oil pickup and baffle? Or just oil pickup?
Nice ive actually been thinking about this for the S GT..
Yessss 🔥🔥🔥
Great video!! I just bought a 2018 WRX and found a Cobb in the glovebox. I had never heard of it before so im trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can. I have one question though. The previous owner has the boost max set at around 22 lbs. That seems high to me and Im concerned with hurting the motor. What would be your recommendation? Thank you so much and I appreciate the video and help!!
just picked up a accessport for my 2019 wrx, I only have a axel back, but don't have an intake, is there a tune for that?
Stage 0 🙏
Also sub cuz this is definetly the BEST subie channel out there.
I had an accessport I used in my 2015 wrx worked great but I had 6 data readings like this video but I switched to my 04 wrx now n only have one data reading now can I change that or no since the age?
You can, up in the top right corner click the arrow and go to number of gauges and you can set it up however you like 🙏
Great content!
You the goat for this vid
Just saw your video on ordering your 2022 BRZ and it was great. I want to buy the new 2022 BRZ, but I want to know how much the deposit was and also if Subaru is offering leasing on it.
Kind Regards and keep the great work
I’ve very new to this. I just bought a 2019 WRX. It has the Cobb intake, the black Cobb intercooler and the cat back exhaust . I found the Cobb AP in the glove box and I believe they reset the car back to stock. I plugged in the access port and had to re install the Cobb AP and noticed he had a bunch of different stage 2 maps. I’m just curious on what I should do? I appreciate anyone who takes the time to help
Hey Tanner. I have a 2020 Sti with 30K and recently had a Cobb SF intake, IAG AOS, cylinder 4 cooling mod and Cobb Accessport installed with a pro tune. In the past 2 days the AP has recorded a fine knock learn of -6.90 and -7. The feedback knock has not gone over -4.20 and my DAM has stayed at 1 at all times. Any reason to be concerned with the fine knock learn numbers? Thanks
I really like your videos bud. Your very informative and have bring great humor along with it. Big Fan! I just installed the stage 1+ OTS map from Cobb. My cars feedback knock was as low as -3.81 never positive tho. Should I be concerned? Also about how long does it take for the AP to learn your car?
2020 WRX
Nothing to stress about and totally normal value. You'll see up to -4.20 considered normal for knock readings. And it will continue to learn but after a reflash let it idle for 15 min or so then drive it normal for the first 10 miles or so
@@Smeedia I’ve put about 50 miles on the new tune. When would you recommend doing a reflash?
Just got 1 of last 2021 STI's ordered from factory. Can I add exhaust and shirt ram air intake without a tune?? And what's best exhaust? My first subaru wanna do it all right!!
No, you 100% need a tune for those. Congrats on the car too! 🔥
You can change your launch boost? Only rpm and the manager system customize anytime?
He just called out a bunch of owners when he said they only use launch control for the sound 😂.
I mean like, that's exactly what I want it for but damn
Lol ain't no one safe 👀💀
Can I have a (new marriage) accessport?my ECU been married to another AP.just want to put it back to stock.IDK what stage been installed in here.
Should do a open source video with the btssm app for Android users. Would be an interesting video. But Cobb is kind of like the staple for majority of subies owner and the easiest to understand.
I'd be down 👀 been working on trying to aquire a new car the past few days
@@Smeedia nice! What’s the next project!?
Picking it up Saturday so this weekend will be the revel of the new car, and picking up the 17 STI. We about to get busy AF lol
Then the BRZ shows up soon 😅
Do you have a video talking about what the "FP Diff Comp" parameter means? Gotta have a FP sensor for it, but just curious what's normal and such.
So I bought a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 with an Cobb Accessport already on it, and a problem I have is where the previous owner set the rev limiter, which is why I'm watching this video, but my problem now is that under the tuning section of my Accessport the "adjustments" tab isn't there, is there a way to add it or should I contact a professional tuner about this problem
hey man, I just bought a 2006 WRX STI. it had an existing Evap leak that I fixed, I had to unplug the battery and pull the alternator to get to it. Previously the car never knocked over -4.0, now I see a value of -11.0 when I come up a hill. Just cruising, no boost, going ~60-65 in sixth gear. any suggestions?
Where is the section on connecting the damn green plugs? And something about a switch?
Lol trst connectors can be in multiple places. Still need to wire mine 😅
Dude I needed this I’m just about to go stage 1 finally fk my warranty lol 😂
Yessss, send it!
Do it. Life is too short to worry about warranties.
If you need warranty work just uninstall the AP then re-install when its done.
The AP will change the PID Number on the ECU and still reflect the car was flashed
It’s all good I don’t have warranty any longer . I send it back to the dealership/finance department lol 😂
Sorry if I missed it, my question for you is when do I need to buy an access port for my car. At what point in modifying my car do I need to get one?
As soon as you start doing any power type of modification 🤙
Every engine is different. So many variables come into play, mostly expected on newer cars.
100% facts. No two will be exact same same
I have an 04(so 1-16 DAM). I was driving normally this friday and i was slowly speeding up on the highway. Didnt even hit boost. And my DAM dropped to 4. No Feedback knock or anything. This is the second time its done this. First time, it went bacl to 16 within 40 miles. Very strange. Gonna do a smoke test for evap leaks this weekend
I've had similar happen before. Sometimes it's just a hiccup in thr tune
@@Smeedia well that makes me feel a bit better lol. Makes no sense to me. I did put a newer turbo(same vf39)/ewg(same spring as the oem iwg) since its been tuned. It hit 0psi and yeeted. Could just be hitting boost more efficiently with the ewg. And it pissed the car off. Looking to get it tuned again.
So can you use Cobbs a/p just for data logging and gauges without changing from the factory tune on a 2019 wrx
What is the suede dash cover? That’s awesome
Super helpful video since i just got my 14 hatch and is there like Subaru forums where I can ask questions? My hatch got the engine replaced with the 2.0 liter instead of 2.5 and I wanted to buy a tomiei exhaust but not sure if I could just buy the exhaust made for the ej25 or I had to get a different one.
You can jump in our discord. Lots of helpful people on there 🔥
And a catback is a catback. As long as it fits you should be 🤌
@@Smeedia goated and ima join right away thanks
I have a 2012 wrx
Kinda new to this, still learning.
About to install Perrin intake, invidia cat back exhaust with down pipe and Cobb access port. Any recommendations what I should do and not? Thank you in advance
Get an Etune or dyno tune. With that combo of parts there are no OTS maps you'll be able to use. 🙏
@@Smeedia thank you 🙏 love the videos
