Thanks for the new addition to my sig...:thumbs::joy::=):

With regards to upgraded turbos same flow just more volume so at lower boost levels on RBs you will run much more power than stock and this on pump gas.

As the last few posts point out octane octane but also remembering Ron vs Mon are very different in making power. Meaning you can run 95 pump with a gazillion liters of toluene and some ethanol and have 120 Octane Ron but Mon levels are very low. Speak to Rennzport for a good street E85 mix.

Edz...That is what i call a thread jack :=):

Nah just kidding...:tease:

 

[ed_z]

whats mon?

Lol sorry he did ask buddy! I forgot to do the quote post reply thing! Sorry

---

Lol ok but it's relative because it is what JB4 G5 iso allows that very few tunes do now and so much better than ever before. I bought 210 liters of E95 and enjoying not having fuel codes at all!!! I'm mixing 20 liters E95 and the rest pump gss now the weekend and testing octane as we go, helps having a Bio chemistry fuel engineer at Sasol as your buddy.

 

[Twinz]

Lucky you :thumbs:

 

[ed_z]

Why does the fuel gauge drop so fast? Lol but seriously it really does!

 

[Twinz]

Haha...:thumbs:

 

[ed_z]

E95 per weight and as per combustibility will burn way more gas than normal according to my friend Dave. So was not seeing things

---

Oh and the fact that JB4 makes my wagon do warp speed I have to really concentrate keeping the rear in check

 

[Twinz]

Correct on the e95 :thumbs:

 

[Melinko]

Something for us N55 guys to look forward too "ISO" :rollsmile:

Finally I can also join the JB4 G5 club.
Big :thumbs: to outlaw335 for coming all the way to my house and help with the install :ty:.
Everything went flawless. All was done except for the water meth connections in approx 30min! I still need to fit the Meth tank and pump in boot, run the lines to engine compartment and fit the new forged DV`s and charge pipe.

After installation of the JB4 it was time to see if she would start...she did not disappoint. Purred like a kitten. outlaw335 gave me a quick run down of how the controls on steering wheel work.

Luckily I had some 95+octane boost in tank so went straight to map 5. Remember my car have some software on and I was very happy with it,really had my doubts if the JB4 would be stronger.
With the current software I got max 1.0bar boost peak and would fade away shortly after 5000RPM.

Lets test the JB4 now.... floor the pedal and I immediately see 1.1 bar on my boost gauge! And to top it all of it holds 1.0bar boost till 6000RPM. Car is smooth with no problems what so ever and definitely stronger than the software I had.
Good thing is that my old software is still active in Map 0-0.
This weekend it is fitting of charge pipe, Dv`s and water/meth system.
Also got a drum of some E95 :rollsmile:

Thanks for this thread, been very helpfull. By the way, were can i get info on routing the jb4 usb cable to the glovebox on an N55 335i?

I have looked at Burger tuning website but it was very vague i thought.:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

I do apologise if this has been covered before. :thumbs:
