JB4 and VRSF Downpipe Installed Today...

WillMotivation · 08-20-2015, 07:12 PM

Just got my car back from the shop today and the guys at my normal shop installed it correctly but apparently did not know how to adjust it... I drove home on map 8 and it felt about like stock or how the car felt with my Dinan set up... I admit the JB4 instruction videos are not that explicit and there are so many old videos still online etc I didnt know how to set/change maps correctly either.

So I figured it out and put the car on map 1 and went for a quick test drive and went from being not much impressed to being a little bit scared how fast the car felt... It is super quick now and I have not even tried map 2 which should optimize for my 93 octane and downpipe/full akrapovic exhaust!!

I am super happy, I will not have to do anything else to this car. It feels faster than my 595hp mustang by far. Crazy... Good job JB4!

Anyone want to buy my Awron vent gauge? It's in perfect condition. Took it out to get my air vent back and didnt want any canbus competition.

Understand your joy.

Installed my JB4 last weekend, and when I first went for a drive on Map 1, I had a grin ear-to-ear.

I have been driving much of this week on Map 2 with the exhaust valves open and it's been awesome. Just using 93 octane pump gas.

I haven't tried map 2 yet. Noticeable difference?

Yes, but not the same change you feel when going from stock to Map 1.

Switching between Maps 1 and 2 you do feel the difference though.

WillMotivation · 08-21-2015, 06:33 AM

Looks like about an additional 20hp and 30tq. Yea you can probably feel that.

The dudes at my shop put the car on map 8 thinking that was the 'highest map'... haha wtf!? Car did 440whp on map 8 with no methanol etc. I switched it to map 1 and was like OH YEA, there it is!!

DREW@SUPREMEPOWER · 08-21-2015, 10:02 AM

Glad you enjoyed the JB4. My personal favorite is a custom map 6.

What is your map 6 optimized for? Race fuel?

You can use map 7 or 8 If you have race fuel. Our custom map 6 we are testing with various products that will be debuted very soon.

Map 2 w/ 4 gallons of e85 + Gintani downpipe + Eisenmann exhaust =

I felt a big difference from map 1 to map 2. It is very noticeable.

nbennettksu · 08-21-2015, 02:08 PM

Is the car raspy with the VRSF's?

WillMotivation · 08-21-2015, 02:23 PM

Not raspy in my opinion no. And no fitment issues or cel. But cel is probably suppressed by the jb4 set up.

The JB4 only surpasses the CEL if its set to do that. Out of the box the JB4 does not suppress the CEL.

My installer probably set it I'm guessing. Is it something I can set they the dash interface or only thru laptop connection?

We usually do it with the laptop. Set Future D to 90 in the User Adjustment field.

Funny, because I feel as though the STOCK M3 feels about the same as my 600hp Cobra. I am excited to go tune and DP's

WillMotivation · 08-21-2015, 07:07 PM

Wow and now I just realized that my 3rd gear boost was being limited to almost nothing. Haha even more power being found! Those guys that installed this thing had no idea how to configure it. Neither did I until today apparently hehe

Just did a 3rd gear pill and man I disappeared on the traffic behind me.
