JB3 Review

E92Pilot · 08-15-2008, 05:55 PM

Well....
The mailman had a nice gift to deliver today. My JB3 PNP

I must say the installation was flawless, took me less than an hour. You spend more time getting into the dme than actually installing the JB3. Fired right up no codes, no limps. Took the car out for a highway drive and the power delivery is smooth and the car pulls nice. First and second gear roast the runflats.

The car is still adapting and I expect the car to pull even harder as it adapts more. I plan on hitting the track next week for some baseline times. Definitely an awesome product!

congrats!

Yep it is quite nice. A very, VERY noticeable difference in the top end versus the JB2H. Makes me giggle like a little girl and my butt dyno is not sensitive to "placebo power" in much the way many others are on here.

Do you have any other mods besides the tune?

Congratulations! If you ever get a dyno, post it up! Keep us updated on how your car adapts.

Nope they've been shipping, we've been taking orders for awhile - just huge demand that is pushing orders further and further back in line.

Congrats!!! On the New JB3 it's a great package!

grats! Write a more in-depth review after you've put it through some serious runs.

I was planning on going to the track tonight, I'm glad I didn't go because they got rained out. The increase in torque is definitely gonna require a drag radial if you wanna keep your 60' times for a good ET. Otherwise your runflats will be like cheech and chong... Up in smoke!

Even without a radial I should see a good improvement in the MPH...

The only other mods I have is a K&N drop-in filter.

For those of you waiting for a PNP it will be well worth the wait trust me. The install of the jb3 itself takes all of 5 minutes.

I'll be at the track next week... I'll keep you guys posted.

Actually, that is incorrect. None of the jb3 units purchased from your site have shipped. They will not ship until after 8/21

Are you sure you didnt mean jb2 ?

AJerman · 08-15-2008, 10:07 PM

Someone sell my old car so I can buy a JB3!!

I'm supposed to be using all my money from selling it to pay bills, but I have a feeling that $800 of that might just slip through the cracks.

mmmotornutz · 08-16-2008, 02:26 AM

Congrats, I bet you are loving it as much I am loving mines!! I will be doing some dynolicious runs soon to see how much of an improvement the JB3 is over my JB1.

GGreek5 · 08-16-2008, 09:44 AM
