Accessport V1 vs V2
Alright it seems pretty hard to find info on the older V1 accessport. I found a well priced V1 and am wondering if I should pull the trigger. I am hoping someone can tell me the differences between the two. Also if the performance is better on the V2. Oh and how exactly can I tell if its unmarried? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The differences between V1 and V2 is purely in the tuning interface. The V2 offers realtime logging and some more tuning features.
Other than that, they perform the same. It's purely a matter of features not performance. It's all in the tune.
Oh, the V2 flashes MUCH faster than the V1. The V1 can take minutes to reflash the ROM where as the V2 can do it in seconds.

The main difference is logging, as well as flashing speed. (V2 is faster at writing the code to your ECU than the V1 is) Both are great product, both will serve you well.

You know, using open source software with someone who can tune will be much cheaper...

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Used V1s go for about $350-$400 on the top end.
If your looking to go cheap, may I recommend:
http://www.plasmatize.com/xptstore/inde ... 7bc7d2d962
Stage 1 map for $52
http://www.tactrix.com/
Get a tectrix cable: $92 (you could also borrow mine if you ask nicely)
Download ECU Flash to your laptop, follow the instructions closely and reflash away.
Or, find a local tuner (AMS, PTuning, etc.) who works with ECU Flash and pay $300-$400 for a tune and reflash.

$300 is a great deal! It'll give you a great foundation to build upon. I'd say jump on it!Bluestreak2006 wrote:Alright I found a used AP V1 for $300. I think thats a good price. Hopefully I can get it this week. Then all I need to do is get myself a catted DP and I'm set. Well kinda anyways.

^^Yeah, $300 is a crazy good deal. See if you can find a used copy of StreetTuner while you are at it

^^^ So really what should I expect from Stage 1? Also I'm running an HKS Hiper catback. What kind of DP should I be looking for. This week I'll be sending in for my Florida plates so I don't have to worry about emissions. Should I go catted or not, and what about the actual flange. Ive heard bellmouth and divorced.... Any advice.

That all comes free from the COBB website if it isn't already on the AP. Best to make sure you have the latest version of each OTS map anyways.Bluestreak2006 wrote:Another question. Does the V1 have the map selecter stuff. Like the valet mode and gas mileage one?
They are useful maps. I have never used either of those but did mention them to my wife in order to help get my first AP

Just don't tell her. If she notices a change in power, just tell her the ECU is learning all the timeBluestreak2006 wrote:^^^ Yeah im getting it under the wife radar. I'm selling a few things to get the funds. Now just waiting on my intake sale. Then onto some stage 1 goodness. Hopefully the wife cant tell the ap is on the car.

Well im officially flashed to stage 1. I must say I can definately feel the difference. Bosst response in first and second gear come on fast and hard. The car feels much smoother and the power is definately there. I agree that this is just the way it should have came from the factory.
