Help installing a jb3 on a 2011 in NYC area?

Jalndrs · 09-20-2010, 09:10 PM

Hello all, anyone recommend someone to take my car to for install? Rather be shown by a pro than mess around myself.

Thanks

There's a jb3 for the n55 already?

I don't think this works on the 2011 models (n55) engine

+1. I don't think the regular JB3 will work on the N55.

Thanks for the help. It is out and the link is below. It is just stage 1.

I installed this on my N55 X5 in about 10 minutes, it's pretty straight forward, only 1 plug was a pain to get off and connected, but its really not that complicated...

Hardest part was removing the air filter housing (not really that hard) but most time consuming...

Why wouldn't you ask terry for help directly, or have him recommend someone to assist you local?
Also, it might have been more helpful to post this up on the "other" site (N54tech) which has a lot of local guys who have this chip already.

I'd help, but you'd have to be willing to come to the south bronx for my help. But the suggestion of Matt is also a good choice, (more professional than I)

Pros: Good power delivery, it provides that oomph that you got with a stock N54. But I'm sure there is a big difference in the performance aspects of the 335 and X5 (weight takes a big impact on that) My beast is weighing in at close to 2.5 tons, so any additional power helps to move it all that much faster. I like the change in exhaust note as well, it makes my custom exhaust sound all that much meanier when you get on it.

Negs: I don't have any negs at this moment. Even if I did, there is nothing I am willing to share on this or any other forum. As a beta tester, any negs will be discussed directly with terry.

I personally can't wait for the Vishnu V4 harness to be put into production so I can run it on my X5, and eventually do a comparo between it and the stage 3 product BMS comes out with. I want to claim to be the first X5 that has been tuned by both BMS and Vishnu (just not at the same time, because I don't want to blow my engine up)
