hey guys i just got a tuning gauge and would like to know something i would not mind driving on map 3 or even map 0 but if an m3 pulls up beside me i would like to up it to map 7 is that a bad idea does it need adaptation time or will it be fine?

John on 1.4 adaption is a lot longer. I think the reasoning is that it will eliminate the KRs that can sometimes associate large map jumps. There is a quick answer and that is water/methanol. It is an easy fix.

im gonna go ahead and ask what the heck are KRs lol and so you would say it is pointless to change maps when a faster car pulls up beside you huh?

KR= Knock Retard or Timing retard.

[john boxter]

thanks, so what you think its completely pointless to change the map if a faster car pulls up beside you?

yes never change maps... just run the one that fits your needs and mods.

you should be able to hang with a m3 on map5 w/supporting mods

[john boxter]

i have a vert though so im 400lbs heavier i mean i dont care about hanging with the m3 or not i care about being fast no specific car to beat just wanna know if i can cruise on stock and when i wanna have fun bump it up by the gauge?

[enrita]

Just run map 5 all the time on 93 octane

[john boxter]

really why not 6 or 7 my mods are ar catless, and bms dci only thing im missing is an intercooler and i bet you my AIT's are much colder than anyone elses with an intercooler in california or florida or something when my outside tempreture is -10 degrees celsius lol

[enrita]

Sure run map 7, by the time you put in 4th on wot you will feel a huge power drop because of heatsoak. Check your your IAT with the gauge. Everytime you pass 110F the jb3 will start lowering boost really fast

[john boxter]

but is it dangerous in the long run 100k + to do that?

[enrita]

No its not dangerous since the jb3 will lower boost but get an upgraded Fmic . Your car will thank you and you will have very constant power all the time.

ya huh maybe i will but im still not sure about my original question is it bad to switch maps on the fly should i just stick to one?

You can switch on the fly if you can. It will take a few hard runs to fully adapt still.

ok awesome!
