JB4 Stage2 Boost Build up

erliban · 10-03-2013, 04:40 PM

Hi, I'm new to the tuner world, just had JB4 Stage2 installed on my 2011 N55 335i E93.

In Map1 under WOT, I noticed that the boost build up seems to be in steps: meaning it'll go to say 8 psi, stay for a little while and then jump to 10psi, then another "quantum" jump to 12 psi. It is not building up in a smooth way. Is this the expected behavior?

Thanks!

Could just be delay in how the car is displaying boost. How are you reading boost?

I was curious about this also. Mine will be at 10-11psi for a few seconds then jumps to 15 in the midrange, followed by a taper. Sometimes it does go to peak boost immediately though?

I used the fuel gauge hijacking

log your runs. If you aren't logging them, then you don't truly know what's going on. If you don't know how to log, contact Terry @ BMS.

I imagine I'll need the USB cable for logging? I don't have one now.

A) Logging the car
B) Using an accurate/100% functioning boost gauge.

Only 2 ways that you will know truly whats going on.

Mine performs the same way

Mine also performs the same way. You can feel the uneven acceleration. Map2 with a downpipe helps it quite a bit.

It doesn't feel normal but you should definitely log to see what's going on

Get yourself a P3 gauge- it's a bit pricey but it displays lots of good information- among them boost, throttle, exhaust gas temperature, air intake temperature, coolant temperature, battery, and 0 to 60 timer. It takes a vent, but also allows the air to come through and looks like it was made for the BMW.

I love mine and I use it especially for the boost numbers and 0-60 times
