How would you have named this package if it also included WMI?

 

[Terry@BMS]

Marketing guys here put together the names you'd have to ask them. Stinger package with WMI?

Save it!

Drive your 4 day old car for a bit to get a handle on how things should work, operate, and sound before modding.

Read the forum carefully before making any purchases.

Yep pretty much this. I jumped into modding too quickly with my 350z and STi and ended up with thousands of dollars worth of regrets. I'm taking it slow this time and just gathering info because I know I'll change my mind at least a dozen times in the next couple months. So slow down and take your time.

Hey brother you can screw off with your condescending tone and just try to help or be silent. I don’t know any of you guys from Adam nor have I claimed to ‘know what I’m doing’...in fact one of my threads is titled no idea what I’m doing. You need to slow down and help educate us newbies in a nurturing way so that we’ll listen and learn instead of your feeble attempt which just puts us off from sites like these. I’ve in fact purchased or am purchasing everything you and Terry have suggested...

Just a word of advice - be happy ecko04 is helping you. In my opinion, he's one of the more knowledgeable / helpful guys on here (there are others, not trying to short-change anyone . And I don't see where his tone is that condescending. Take a deep breath and keep reading. In time, it will all make sense, if you're willing to learn.

Terry, is this 450hp estimate wheel or crank? Is that with MAP 2 and 93 octane, no other mods?

Right...got to be crank, right? Or am I due for a MAJOR firmware update?

The 450hp represents the 450whp potential of the package. But octane obviously plays a large role. You're not going to safely make 450whp on 91 octane fuel. That is usually reserved for E30 mixtures. But we've seen customers get close on 93.

iOS and Android app remain 3rd party and need to be purchased from JB4 Mobile directly for $27.99 or whatever the going rate is. As always the windows laptop interface and mac laptop interface are free. But instead of the blue tooth adapter then you'd want the much cheaper BMS data cable.

Ah got it. Thanks for the info. I wondered if it was a third party deal.

I may be a party pooper here, but upgrade the pads and swaybars before unleashing the full potential of that motor.

The stock pads are prone to fade and the stock swaybars are too soft; you really want to upgrade those before driving twisty roads with 450whp.

 

[SKStinger]

Personally I prefer to add one upgrade at a time so that you can truly experience the benefit each one adds. This approach also extends the enjoyment and longevity of your investment.

I also research each one and look for a lightly used alternative in the classifieds and compare brands to get the best bang for the buck. For example, BMS has a catch can, intake and a pedal commander. All three of these can be sourced from competing brands for less $$.

Hmm.
Wounder how i could talk my self into ordering a tune for ~$1400 + shipping.

The kit package already comes with with spark plug socket! Just saved you $19, now I think it’s worth it!

You have no idea how powerful this message is! Thanks to Nick from Khartunerz I'm driving a completely new vehicle. New sways and brakes! Unless its the tires I've installed at the same time - everything is so much better!

Haven't installed the JB4/plugs yet - holding off until the spring season but damn do I love my car so much more.

Rear swaybars only? or both front and rear?

 

[Jaymorz]

Both front & rear. Front setting is currently on "soft" and rear is on "hard". Both front and rear pads were replaced as well for better braking distance
