JB+ Quick Install Tuner

alpwhite46 · 05-28-2017, 09:23 AM

Just picked this up for a really good deal, as in Canada its hard to get it for a decent price after shipping and customs, and conversion to Canadian dollars.

Managed to get a great deal on it through a friend, cost me 300$ Canadian all in..

He picked it up for his X5 and he says amazing response, huge difference, his X5 feels so much more alive.

I'm about to head downstairs and get it going on the x3.

Should get the X3 up to 360 HP ~

Oh god what a difference, you all need to install this!

I've got this on my 2013 28i (N20). It has adjustable levels, 1-5, that help adapt to the type of gas you run. I run 93 octane, so I'm at level 4. It is a substantial increase in power and torque, especially over 2000 rpm. It takes a few hours of run time for the engine mapping to adapt to it. No engine faults. I'm very, very happy with it. Great bang for the buck compared to Dinan Sport Performance, BMS JB4, and BMS Stage 1.

Agree!
ill try 93 next time

Stage 1 is more customizable, this is more of an easy plug and play thing for a car that is stock, looking to get some decent power.

If you have other added goodies, the stage 1 is suggested.

Slap it on a dyno, see what HP/TQ it really makes

I've read that the 1-2 shifts are a little funny sometimes with this. Like the transmission is confused. Have you experienced that? Also read the JB4 does not have the shifting issue or either is less pronounced.

alpwhite46 · 06-20-2017, 08:19 PM

No i have no issues with it.

Merlin82 · 06-22-2017, 10:12 AM

Gah, this makes me want one even more. Ive been tossing around the idea but i dont want to risk losing the powertrain warranty i paid extra for.

alpwhite46 · 06-23-2017, 09:39 PM

If anything happens just remove it

Drizzt8 · 08-08-2017, 05:35 PM

Do you still have this on your car - impressions? Any issues to report, thinking of getting one myself.
Thanks!

I am debating between the JB+ and the Stage 1. Any suggestions which one should I go with? I am only planning on the tune, intake and e85 mix. Does the JB+ allow for boost adjustment or is there a way to take it up to 5 pounds of boost extra cause that is where I want to be at? Thanks!

Ended up getting a racechip ultimate that was for sale on here. Sadly the JB+ doesnt work on the 2011 for some reason. Will report back once i get a chance to install it and see how it does.

Does this improve the throttle response like the change between normal and sport modes? Does it do it for all modes?

Thanks!
