JB+ with 93 Octane= Kick in the pants

Scimitar335i · 03-21-2009, 11:16 PM

Since I have gotten used to the JB+ at default setting and am too lazy to crank it up at the moment. I went out and scored 5 gallons of 100 Octane and mixed it with 5 gallons of 91 octane and I must say.. WOW Its a total kick in the pants.

I pulled out of the gas station and gave the accelerator a little jab but not WOT and didn't feel much. I ended up at a light and when it turned green I floored it. Man O Man... the traction control light was blinking like crazy and when I caught traction I flew like a bat out of hell..

Over-all the car pulls really hard. The Butt Dyno gives thumbs up! Though at 6.45 a gallon of 100 octane I won't be doing this very often.

6.45 a gallon for 100 octane? consider that cheap. 8.07 a gallon here at the closest place to my house

curamie · 03-21-2009, 11:25 PM

Good to know that!

Is there any possibility that mixing two octane gas would throw code at default setting?

Septro · 03-21-2009, 11:45 PM

I paid $8.45 for Trick101.. so ya you got it cheap

Well I remember the JB+ preliminary dynos..

jb+ @ 1/2 setting and 91 octane = 46RWHP gains
jb+ @ 3/4 setting and 91 octane= 42RWHP gains(sometimes less is more)
jb+@ 3/4 setting and 93 octane = 62RWHP gains

So @ 3/4 setting going from 91 octane to 93 octane gained 20RWHP.

I think 3/4 setting and 95-96 octane mix would be good for 70+RWHP Gains

Altho the above was a car with downpipes..

How easy is the JB+ install?

bimdaddy · 03-22-2009, 11:01 AM

You have 15 seconds? Some members can do it in ten sec. I'm a slow poke...1 minute for me.

Heh, do you have to remove the stock intake box?

Nope, most people it takes about 5 minutes though...

The clip is somewhat hard to figure out the first time, but after that its a no brainer...

Very simple..

The realistic answer is 5-10minutes from the time you get to your car, and to the point you have a smile on your face as you are driving away

You don't have to remove the airbox.

Just put in an order for a JB+

I weighed my options and decided true plug and play capability was paramount. Add to that the price, and +50 whp gains, and that's a pretty darn good tune if you ask me.

Expect to see a review from me soon....

Jon, I ordered mine yesterday!!! I drove with Sal (AutoCouture) a couple of days ago (he has one), the tune is great and takes about 3 seconds to put in (once you know what you're doing).

Hint: The TMAP sensor is on the driver's side, under the air box - closer to the firewall. Getting to it and unclipping it is the hard part.

Sweet!!

Good to know because we both go to the same dealer!

Let me know how the install/run goes

You should be able to crank her, but I still would recommend the BT tool. Sent you a PM..
