From Procede to JB3. (Personal review)

Mike@N54Tuning.com · 11-14-2009, 05:28 PM

Also a note on the adaption, there are a few things that need to adapt, and this is especially the case if you are coming from another tune that works differently with the ECU. So always start on a lower map like 2 or 3 for the first day or so for the best results. Then go up from there.

It did a little but not enough. I have another thread discussing auto exhaust options. There I describe what I went through to get it right for my taste!

good point to let everyone know! I wanted to see how my car handled the tune asap so I went higher. After I reset the adaptation values, all was good again!

Which adaptation values did you reset?

Just timing.....

I had a similar issue swapping from Procede to JB3....first day was hell.

Were you able to get your misfire problems with the V3 sorted out? Curious what the cause was. Just too much boost? I am starting to suspect there is a fundamental difference in how they handle top end boost as I've had quite a few emails from people having similar problems as OP. The JB3 seems to solve or greatly help their problems but I'm trying to get a handle around why.

Heck, I want to know where you can get 94 octane on the West Coast !

I'm in Canada. Chevron carries 94octane at every pump

+1 That is a very good point

I was have the same issues with the procede as you were. I'm running default 10-9 maps and have had no misfires since I swapped 5/6injectors. Did plugs about 4000 miles ago, also started using Texaco instead of Sunoco. I don't know what did the trick but I'm running 85%UT and 85%Ign limp free. I even turned UT up to 95% on the Dyno with no misfires. It made 347lbft but it was wrong since the guy running the dyno had my car listed as an M5.

Nice review of the JB I've thinking about jumping over to the dark side as well. I'm probably going to give CP-E a crack at my car after the holidays. Going to check out their dyno today and maybe get a few pulls.

My mods are
Stett FMIC,
Stett Chargepipe with Forge DV
Mckinney Catch Can
DCI
Oil Cooler
CP-E high flow catted dp's ( I had the VK catless ones before)
CP-E resonnated mid-pipe
Bastuck axle back
94octane

Sorry, kind of OT... but how bad was the VK noise? I have a set coming, curious if it's going to be really bad or not... you went back to catted just b/c of the noise?...

For me, the noise wasn't huge actually as it was the muffler cans that caused most of it. I already had the cp-e catted dps installed so didn't bother switching back. If you are going to run the vks with stock exhaust it's pretty tame.

Ok, cool. Yeah I'm staying stock on the exhaust. Good to hear - thanks!

badass335 · 11-21-2009, 06:44 PM

thanks! If you are able to run procede then it's good. I tried the swaps etc and nothing helped. Jb3 is pretty crazy on my car at least considering the lowest octane used is 94! And no limps, codes etc yet! It's worth a try for sure. Give it a week and you will like it! The fuel economy on the procede was better though! Not that I care! Whoohoo!
