JB3 on map 5

08-335i · 03-12-2010, 01:35 PM

Hi quick question to those who run JB3 on map 5 with out any other mods no DCI just JB3 on ma5. Do you run it all the time , do you have any problems ,how long you be runing on map 5 , did you had problems in past Thank You

Syndicategt · 03-12-2010, 02:02 PM

Depends on your mods, without supporting mods you might accutally be losing power. Also, with map 5, make sure you are running atleast 93 octane. Since you said no other mods, you might want to just stick with map 3, check out BMS's website for requirements on each map.

Here in Cali, we only have 91 oct, so I daily drove with map 3 on version 1.4. Now that I have version 2.0 I run map 5 non stop. I have heard of people using map 5 (v1.4) with 91 octane as a dialy driver, but I didn't want to chance it.

i ran map 5 with out any mods and you are defiantly not losing power from map 3... it ran fine... now i have a dci and it feels alot better.

burberry · 03-12-2010, 03:01 PM

i would just stick to map 3

WCM3 · 03-12-2010, 03:03 PM

NJ has 93 octane, so I would assume you would be fine with Map 5. Why not invest in an DCI though?

SteveMD · 03-12-2010, 03:06 PM

I have no other mods. On 1.4, I ran map5 with no problems - I scanned the car several times. Nothing.

When I upgraded to 2.0, map 5 seemed a bit disappointing - quick but something didn't seem right. Went back to map 3 and the car seems much better. I think 2.0 map 5 was too much. Maybe someone more knowledgeble than I can chime in about such things.

Now...this is all butt-dyno so I may be wrong.

Bottom line is that I ran 1.4 map 5 for months with no codes thrown.

Always on Shell V Power 93 here in Maryland.

When I run my JB3 2.0, I run map5 constantly with no other mods. FL has 93 octane. I've had one limp mode, but it seemed like a fluke. I've got about 400mi on the JB3 2.0 since I got it... all map5.

WCM3, because installing a DCI means one more thing to uninstall when you goto the dealership. Too much hassle.

HPFREAK · 03-12-2010, 03:42 PM

5 seems to work pretty well even on 91 in the cooler weather. Once ti heats up it may not unless you have an FMIC and Intake and possibly DP's.

IL X5 M60i · 03-12-2010, 03:43 PM

If you have 93 octane you are fine on map 5. I've driven close to 2000 miles with 2.0 on map 5 with NO issues.

i2iSTUDIOS · 03-12-2010, 03:51 PM

I'm running map 7 with a drop in filter and 93 octane, my car just runs better on it.

map 5 is no problem, just try for 93 octane. in NJ you should have that right?

alms21 · 03-12-2010, 05:34 PM

I'm in Maryland and just installed JB3 2.0 at the beginning of the week. I've got DCI and always run 93 octane. Ran Map 3 for the first two days and been running Map 5 the last two. They are both big improvements over stock. Love the Map 5 and will continue running it so long as things are ok with it.

Just make sure you are running 93+

so 93=Map 5
100=7+8

is that correct?

pyceasyas123 · 03-12-2010, 06:07 PM

^^^pretty sure you dont need to run 100 octane on maps 7 and 8 but you definitely need to have supporting mods...intercooler, intake, exhaust, etc.

08-335i · 03-12-2010, 08:58 PM

So if i keep putting 93 in my car i can stay in map 5 with no worries right????

Should be okay.. Might want to map down if it gets VERY hot out.

in the colder weather you can run a more aggressive map... once the weather heats up here in NJ/NY, you might want to drop down to map 3.

mayno · 03-12-2010, 09:54 PM

so for us drivers in So Cal with 91 octane and DCI what map is appropriate? what map if i added DPs? is there a table/matrix that shows what the proper map is for all of the different configurations for the more popular octanes (primarily 91 and 93).

dboonephs · 03-12-2010, 10:10 PM

i have been running map 5 on v1.4 since november of last year no problems
