Replaced the other 0-60 video with this one to show the time more accurately.

This is the JB4 software from Burger Motorsports itself: http://www.n54tech.com/flash_files/jb4_interface.zip

You'll have to install the USB drivers that are within that zip file as well as the software. Quick overview of the software is on their forum as well: N54Tech.com - Your Source for International Turbo BMW Racing Discussion - View Single Post - JB4 laptop connection directions

That looks a little more involved than I expected. Was it simple or are you experienced?

Its as easy as following the directions shown on the N54tech website. Basically you just plug the jb4 data cable (USB) into your laptop. Next start up the jb4 program. Switching maps is as easy as clicking a drop down Manu and selecting the map you wish. I am missing a few steps but they are shown in the instructions. alternatively you can use the jb connect cable and download their app on your smart phone and change maps and run data logs that way as well. Just speaking about what I've seen and experienced. :thumbup::whistle:

The last time I used a JB4 I could switch maps through the car's dashboard interface. Or was it the gas pedal? I forget. I've had so many tuned cars now. But things just keep getting easier and easier...
 
Well I've got some not so encouraging news. I took the car out for a few pulls, and on pull three we most definitely has issues.

I ran the car in mode 0 (disabled) and twice in mode two (+4psi). The first time things went without a hitch. Drove a couple of miles and went to pull again, and about half way through a WOT pull I got a solid check engine light that went off after finishing the pull (got up to 80Mph and let off). Slowed down to make the turn onto another road, and when I gave the car a little throttle to start speeding up I started getting misfires and the check engine light was back on. Drove the remaining mile to my house in that condition, and when I placed it in park, she was idling very rough, definite misfire.

Fired up the laptop and set the tune back down to mode 0 (disabled) and gave the car a few minutes, then fired it back up. Car ran as normal. Gave it a few hard accelerations in park up to 5krpm, and everything still ran fine as can be, with no check engine light.

I've got the entire sessions (all three pulls) recorded on my snapon diagnostics setup (should be able to be watch on the free ShopStream Connect software, and pictures of the maximum pre-chip MAP sensor voltage for each of the pulls as well.

@Killa200 sounds like the O2 sensors overheated and were causing a rich condition. Hence why after reseting to mode 0 and giving the car a few mins before starting her back everything was fine.

And unfortunately I wasn't monitoring O2 data while doing this (theres quite a bit of "unknown" on this car when trying to read sensors via 3rd party OBDII still, so I'd have to check and see if I can add it to the log). I can tell you it had pushed the idle ignition timing forward quite a bit as well as being much less stable from warm idle before the sessions to warm idle after, so it was trying to compensate for the issue.

Got my JB4 today as well. Kinda like reading everyone’s posts on what they are doing or how they are doing it. This is going to be a little different for me cause I’m use to diesel tuning...... My twin turbo Cummins runs EFI live but am sure it’s the same principle for a gasser except for the black smoke out the rear. LOL! Will be really curious to see what Killa200 finds out.....

"Misfires at higher boost levels are not unexpected on the platform from what I've heard. You will probably need new plugs with a tighter gap at some point."

So some good news and bad news..

1. Good news- I received it yesterday and it took all of 5 minutes to install... The first impressions were amazing.. IMO, this is how aggressive it should be out of the gate.. speed is immediate and it moves with purpose.. Only using Map 1.

2. Bad news - it started sputtering and the check engine flickered a few times during normal acceleration on the highway to work this morning.. So bad, I pulled off to a remote parking lot and removed it. It was in the 30’s last night, 42 degrees this morning and the car was at normal operating temperature.

I ordered the REV3 this morning for Map changing and data logging. It’s going to be cold and rainy for the next week or so and I want to get as much data logged and sent to Terry.

How many miles on your vehicle? I'm starting to think these factory plugs are shot. Just an opinion :whistle:
