just installed JB2 with 29.2 progman

tjnptel1 · 05-18-2008, 09:53 PM

My friend gave me his Juicebox stage 2 today, we transferred it straight from his car to mine. I took it for a test drive after installing just a few mins ago and the shifting is a little eratic. When i get on it, the initial throttle response is insane.. but it wants to shift early at 5k RPMs.. is it because it hasn't adopted to my car yet?

Let it adapt and it will get better.

Also, if you dont want it to shift use manual mode. That is how I drive 24/7

Thats the best way, and the only way I drive

Are you using the green/blue wires?

What is a solenoid bypass? Is it the same as an O2 simulator?

This is what Terry had to say

To be on the safe side you can remove the blue and green looms on your JB2 if you get stuck with 29.2, and do not run the H, R, or X with it.

let us know what happens when u take the car to the dealership and if there are any codes thrown

BES335xi · 05-19-2008, 03:57 AM

you guys drive you're Auto cars non-stop on Manual mode? is it the DS or the Manual where u actually upshift n downshift ur self? and no problem to the car? 1 more question....do you guys lease these cars or finance? i'm scared to drive it like that since i've bought the car i'm afraid i'll mess it up even though im in warranty...

A418t81 · 05-19-2008, 08:03 AM

I chose it over 6MT after driving MTs for my whole life. Its so much easier when youre tired to not have to worry about making smooth shifts and stuff. And heck, it shifts quicker than I ever could.

There is no negative effect on the transmission. It works the same way as it does in auto, but instead of it picking the shift points, you do when click the paddle or push the shift lever.

Its M (manual) where you shift yourself.

This two looms (Green/Blue) are use to control the air/fuel ratio wich is what BMW is using on progman 29.2 to identify the use of piggybacks ( tunes).
