Jb3 Install?

TayF80 · 03-17-2009, 03:18 AM

Hey I live in kirkland and Im looking for someone who can install my jb3 pinout/harness. I bought a pinout then decided i wanted to have the harness for pnp capabilities, now I need to hook up the two together and put it in my car.
any suggestions?

Have you seen the install videos posted on youtube, and the PDF guide on teh website? Doesnt look too hard. I havent done it myself so I cant help you but I'm sure there are some locals who can.

Yea bud - if you come out to the dyno day, I can bring some tools to help put your harness together/install it in your car. It may rain and I don't know if they'll have any cover tho but since we'll be in Kirkland where you live anyway - I can scoot over to your place and help you out after we get done running the cars.

That would b awesome, but i really have no clue what I am doing with the ecu. Did you install your jb3 by yourself? I want to find someone who can do it and I would be willing to pay them. Would you b interested in doing it before dyno day for money?

I'm swamped for time during the week bud but Saturday ain't but 3 days away if you wanna wait. And yes I've done my own and 245Sleeper's install. It isn't hard and don't worry about paying.

Try Travis at Gig Harbor Auto Works 253.514.5549...I've used him for all my tuning and car audio on my E90. Meticulous, priced fair and a good guy!

Try and get it in at least 4-5 days before the dyno day so that your car can adapt to it. Sounds like Septro is willing to help out

.. The install is a breeze if you know what you're doing, the first time took me a while though lol.

It should only take like a few WOT pulls on the freeway, dont ask me how I know

That will do the trick also.. but its going to take more than a few WOT's on the highway for the car to fully adapt! Car needs to get used to the increase in power from normal driving as well.. Technically, your second break in period, but this time its all about going all the way, none of that below 4k rpm bullshit

, not that I followed that "theory" anyways.

It seems now that the adaption should be done in a step method. Start on MAP3 and work your way up to 5/6 or whatever your supporting mods/octane will support.

The datasheets folks were pumping out showed that the hi-level maps induced some slight knock until fully adapted but progressing from one of the lower boost maps reduced that amount of timing adaption required.

It is VERY easy!!!! If you can read and follow directions putting the PNP together is as easy as counting from 1-34. As far as accessing your ECU, you have a total of like 7 screws you need to take out, and then some clips and sensors. All you need is a 8mm socket and a flat head screw driver. First time should take you about an hour. After that 10-15 minutes. Give it a shot, seriously its SUPER easy!!!! Print out the PDF and take a laptop out in the garage for the Youtube directions. I would say a sixth grade education is all that is required!
