Burger Tuning JB4 for Kia Stinger!

I have searched this forum for over an hour for a simple answer.

Is it okay to change map setting on JB4 while car is running. Or is it better/recommended to change with alt ON engine off?
 

Thank you, Terry!

I have the optional Bluetooth connection and I make changes on the fly, but it was more to test out MAP 1 and MAP 2 and feeling the differences. I think once you set your MAP, you don't need to constantly change it when you turn on your car -JB4 will make sure your engine is warmed up before giving you all that power and vice versa when your engine is running too hot-. It'll just default to that MAP until you change it to something other MAP. Someone with more experience please correct me if I'm wrong.

I am interested in changing to feel the difference between maps as well. I actually have been on Map 2 for a couple weeks and love it but just purchased Boostane looking to try Map 3. The only thing is I haven't added CAI yet. Hoping not to blow out a spark plug!!!:mad:

Yeah, I bought the JB4 and Denso spark plugs because I was getting more power per dollar spent than a CAI or exhaust. I'm loving MAP 2, even though I'm commuting most of the time. This morning was especially fun when I did a pull from a red light. :)
 
Be careful for what you wish for......I jumped up to map 3 from map 2.....And I had to go into a 12 step program to get myself back to map 2....:) Wash

Wash I must admit your responses actually make me laugh!

lets hope counseling is not in my near future:rofl:

The truth spoken.....er well written. Nonetheless truth!! My advise...scrap the 12 steps and stay on 3.
 
The struggle is real. I know full well there is very little difference between maps 3 and 5, AND that I get even worse mileage on 5, yet and still I always go out of my way to a station that's not really close to get E85 so I can use it.

ignition on but engine off :cool:
 
You can change maps at any time although I wouldn't suggest it while under full throttle. But cruising along, no problem. Firmware updates on the other hand engine should be off for. Those take a few minutes.

Thanks Terry was hoping to get your response!!
 
Everyone,
I had trouble downloading the newest firmware initially and realized I had my phone’s WiFi on. During the process the Kia warning system came on and said I need to have it serviced. I realize the engine was acting weird from not having any firmware on the JB4 at the time. I have since corrected that (with correctly adding firmware) and there is still an engine light on.

Questions:

Does the light eventually go away after a period of time?

Will KiA see an abnormality log on the ECU?

2nd Issue:
I registered to when I got the JB4 connect app however when I go to the N54 Tech blogs my registration (from the JB4 connect) doesn’t work. I tried to get a password reset but the site said It didn’t recognize my email address.

Do I need to register again (this time on N54 tech) since the app and the site are from two different sources?
Thanks guys!

Yes I believe the App is sourced out.
 
You can clear fault codes with ign on, engine off, in the JB4 mobile app.

Thanks Terry. That cleared up the engine light.
Will this get rid of the abnormality from any ECU log?

thanks again for the quick response. I definitely will be diving in this week. Put my Re gaped Denso plugs in and connected all wires yesterday.

In theory they might see you triggered a code at some point but not likely, and triggering a code doesn't prove you've been exceeding the factory specifications.

Ok. Thanks. Makes sense
 
Hi Terry,

20 millionth person to ask you to look at their logs. JB4, Map2, Denzo’s gapped to 0.024”

Thanks in advance :)

before Terry even looks at the log... the real question is why did you gap the Denso at 0.024- that is what the stock gap has to be at(actually 0.024-0.026) .
the Denso needs to be gap at 0.022
