Read my original post. Do you think that's worthy of being called out in a rude juvenile fashion in this forum? Because I think manufactures should supply more and better data regarding their products? That I'm surprised more gearheads don't post dyno data?
You both sound like a couple of self-important assholes. Extended redline shitty high school reply? Really? Sorry to interrupt your private circle jerk and good luck with that. My final thoughts.

Sigh, happens to the best of us.
// dragging the topic back into the limelight Here are some numbers from the Dragy leaderboard. While less relevant but cool, nonetheless, are the 0-60mph numbers. Realistically, though, there are just too many variables to take much away from these results. That said, 5th and 6th place are both JB4. In 10th spot is a Racechip-tuned M5. 9th place, 13th, 18th (10.60s) and 20th (10.61s) place are all JB4s. I didn't find any Racechip-tuned vehicles on the Dragy 1/4 mile leaderboard. // correction, I found two in 25th and 27th place: 10.77s @129.45mph and 10.78s @ 128.69mph This is my combined best-result from a DynoPack hub dyno with the JB4 on map 2 @22psi absolute boost target on 92 octane pump gas (I was unable to use the better maps due to an as yet unresolved software glitch). We spent 2+ hours tinkering with the setup including using the M5's dyno mode. Note also and as I mentioned earlier, we never did get a reasonable read while stock so these numbers are close to meaningless. I'll be returning once I've got the car back. If you're interested, you activate dyno mode as follows: Last edited by limeypride; 02-13-2019 at 01:10 PM.. Reason: New data |

I've used 104 octane race gas in my RS7 with APR stage 2--made a world of difference. I just have one helluva hard time getting race gas here in WA. I've bought the dreaded snake oil octane boosters including boostane and the orange and white can with Race Gas written on it; I forget the brand unless that's it. The M5 definitely made more power on map 6 but I broke things following a round of E-Sys coding. In short, the JB4 can no longer talk to the ECU via the OBD II port which forces me back to map 1. The car's being re-flashed e2e, though, as part of the repairs so I'm hoping that restores the JB4. My seat-of-the-pants dyno was happy but without objective "stock" numbers, I can't place any credence in the DynoPack numbers. C'est la vie... my wait's almost over.

It just meant that those guys have plenty of ego and time on their hand to do those runs to up their time. A lot of good player or race driver are keeping things to themselves. Besides, we don't know the exact detail on what the car's configuration but the elevation, temp, and some other variables that can be collected by the device itself. It can have different injector, race fuel, catless, driver's weight, etc. To put it to rest, if you are going for JB4, you are half-way between Flash Tune and Simple Plug-N-Play piggy. I would just spend the money for Flash Tune since it will have better output than the JB4. But, for something easy to use for DD, RaceChip is plenty.

And saying that doesn't necessarily mean they are good - being on the leader board - that may be so - but until someone does better they are the best known times. We have all discussed the fact that there are multiple factors and variables involved in the cars, fuel, DA and track - but again - that is common for all platforms and for all testing. I much rather support someone who goes to the track, races, and gathers actual data then for someone to tell me that there may be other cars and setups out there that are better. Proven pretty much means everything in racing. |

That said, if I wasn't already financially invested and happy with my JB4 purchase, I'd be all over the RC--my bias begins and ends with what I've already purchased. The RC is more than credible in my mind based on the reviews of those "I" trust. Your comments are not. So, describe to me your first-hand experience between the two. Describe to me the difference between their respective installation requirements which you imply as a differentiator when they're the same for the same performance gains. I'm guilty of side-tracking this thread with my limited ability to provide only one-sided data... but I've been transparent about that (bias?) from the start. You, however, are perverting the course of this exploration by emphasizing the gaps in the data that is presented without presenting any affirmative data to support your position. So what motivates such an opinion; such strong language. That's rhetorical... I already know as I guess do others. Last edited by limeypride; 02-14-2019 at 12:42 AM.. |

I've dealt with BMS and their Stage 1, JB4 Stage 2, and other of their products. There are many reasons that I won't discuss publicly why I stop offering their products. Based on what your reply, it seems that there is misunderstanding on my statement. Simple Plug-N-Play Piggies are considered a stage 1 simple tuning. While JB4 Stage 2 is in between Flash Tune and Stage 1, because it tries to trick multiple sensors and reading data from the OBD2 connection. It was a good solution before Flash Tune is available. But since now flash tune is available, it is much much better solution than tricking a bunch of sensors. One mis reading or mis tricking a sensor, many things will go wrong. You can judge me all you want. I am here to share as much information as I can. I have typed but I deleted them since there is no need for me to explain myself. Others who dealt with me and met me knows what's up. Too bad I don't do drag racing, otherwise I'll have a lot of data to share.

I have no dog in this race as I am fortunate to have cars I race and my daily won't be touched. But JB4 is a pretty big name - so while I am sure there are always horror stories with every product - it's no more or less than any other. And all platforms continue to evolve - so what may have happened to you before is now addressed. Either way - at least from the owners contributing to this thread - some of the JB4 results are quite promising. I do hope you, your Shop and your customers share their experiences - as more actual data is very welcome in this thread. |

I will say this about Ben aka r33_RGSport - I have not only done business with him but have met him several times. He is about as humble as it gets and really goes out of his way to help myself and many referrals. Im NOT saying this to discount what you said or what Dean (Limey) typed but just to say Ive put a face to the name here and often in this type of medium we just dont get the pleasure of doing so. Ben hooked me up with the RC because he was first on the scene with the piggy (RC was first and JB wasnt out)... we have a few others here that have met up with him as well along with seasoned members like onfireX5 . I just like the option I had at the time but have no doubt JB4 can deliver more with the right fuel and mapping.

Never ever ever ever.
You scarred me with that back in the day so why should I be the only one to suffer? Edit: I am nice enough to keep the details out

But similar to the other guy who was complaining about there not being enough info or accurate enough for his expectations, while everyone is trying to learn this new platform and some of the available tools - I would prefer some addition to this info versus stating that what we see today may not be all there is out there (which of course will always be true). No stress from me. |

interesting read.
The only thing I care about is how much the low and high fuel pumps can flow. And how much additional boost can the stock turbos take before losing efficiency and wear and tear. This platform is still very new, and hence I will wait to see more data when it arrives. As for tuning, IMO, once your done with your bolt ons - a custom flash is the way to go, as all these (piggy's just ride the knock sensor). |
