COBB Tuning | The Accessport & Performance Calibration

Where to buy COBB Tuning in Australia: Chicane Australia sells COBB online, from the Accessport V3 handheld tuner and Stage 1 and Stage 2 power packages to SF intakes, front mount intercoolers, charge pipes, short shifters, CAN flex fuel kits and Titan7 forged wheel sets. Our COBB range is chosen for Australian-delivered cars, led by the Subaru WRX and STI, with parts for the Porsche 911 (991 and 992), Volkswagen Golf R and Audi, Evo X, Mazda MPS, Nissan GT-R, Mustang EcoBoost and Civic Type R. The top of the range is the Australian spec Stage 2 Power Package for the VB WRX. Most parts ship in 3 to 5 or 7 to 10 days, each listing shows its lead time, and Chicane sends orders Australia-wide from the NSW Central Coast.

COBB Tuning makes the Accessport, a handheld ECU flashing tool that loads Off-The-Shelf (OTS) maps or custom tunes, plus supporting hardware such as intakes, drivetrain parts and flex fuel kits. This collection covers the COBB range we carry for Australian-delivered vehicles, not the full global catalogue.

Choosing the Right Part

Match parts to your chassis code first. Subaru calibrations and hardware do not carry across generations: GC8, GD/GG, GE/GH, GR/GV, VA and VB all use different ECU hardware, intake packaging and drivetrain layouts. COBB does not support 2001 to 2007 WRX models, so the Accessport isn't an option on the early GD chassis. Forester XT owners should confirm their model year, as Forester calibrations don't always follow the WRX release schedule.

Drivetrain parts are gearbox specific. Weighted knobs and Stage 1+ drivetrain packages are listed for 5 speed boxes, and the GC8 double adjustable short shifter is listed for the narrow barrel 5 speed. Shift plates for VA/VB WRX are offered in 15% or 35% throw reduction. Exhaust hangers are sized (12mm single or 15mm), up pipes are listed as 2in / 51mm for EJ20/EJ25, and radiator shrouds are chassis and finish specific.

Accessport hardware has gone through several revisions. If you're buying a second-hand unit or upgrading from an older Accessport, check which hardware version and firmware your car needs, and confirm the transmission variant where listings separate MT and CVT.

Installation & What You'll Need

The Accessport plugs into the OBD port and flashes maps directly from the handheld unit, with no laptop required. Hardware such as intakes, exhausts, up pipes, heat shields, motor mounts, fuel system components and shifter parts should be installed by a professional, and any power upgrade should be matched to the correct OTS map for your hardware. Some jobs need supporting tools, such as the COBB fuel pump removal tool for Audi 8V and VW Mk7/Mk7.5 platforms.

Cat-back exhausts and up pipes: for off-road or motorsport use. Check your state's noise and emissions rules before fitting to a registered car.

FAQ

Where can I buy a COBB Accessport in Australia?

Chicane Australia carries the COBB Accessport and COBB parts for Australian-delivered vehicles and ships Australia-wide from the NSW Central Coast. Shop by vehicle above, search by COBB part number, or contact our team before you buy if your platform isn't listed.

What is a COBB OTS map?

An OTS (Off-The-Shelf) map is a pre-built ECU calibration developed by COBB for a specific hardware setup. Stage 1 suits an unmodified car or one with a COBB intake, while higher stages assume supporting bolt-ons.

Which vehicles does this COBB range cover?

Subaru WRX, STI, Forester XT, Liberty and Levorg, Mitsubishi Evo X, VW Golf GTI and R, Audi A3/S3/RS3, Mazda MPS, Honda Civic Type R FL5 and Porsche 911 991.2. Check with us if you're unsure your model and model year is covered.

Do I need a laptop to use the Accessport?

No. The Accessport V3 is a standalone handheld unit that plugs into the OBD port.

Does COBB support every Subaru WRX?

No. COBB does not support the 2001 to 2007 WRX, so the Accessport isn't an option on the early GD chassis. Later WRX and STI models are listed by chassis code, so match yours before ordering.
