Doubt that’s accurate. Limit of stock turbo is around 23 psi I believe

I recommend doing a proper datalog for accurate numbers

That was off my data log

Mike, any sale events on Black Friday/Thanksgiving time on JB+/JB4?

Which map have you found best works on the m240i . I’m completely stock with just 93 octane .

• Map 1 didn’t seem to give that much of a boost , was either thinking of map 2 or switching to the absolute map 4 .

Read in the JB forums somethat says these G series b58’s run better on absolute maps than additives. Thoughts or comments ?,,

G chassis cars run high boost from stock, running an absolute map is safer and will get you more consistent results.

If you run an additive map, and the car is already targetting high boost, the DME might drop the timing ignition which will reduce the power

i can send upload the logs if u wouldnt mind checking them out .

map 1 is +3 PSI
your results are on point

You can also check your datalog and it will show you what is the stock boost on this run and your Jb4 boost. if you have map 1 selected , the difference will be exactly 3 PSI (except during the spool period)

Yes your exactly correct map 1 is adding approx 3psi max to stock boost . my car apparently runs lower boost but higher timing as other data logs I’ve seen shows much higher boost than just 17psi but ofcouse they don’t have 9* of timing like I do , that being said is it still ok to run map 4 . Cus I know map 4 absolute is 20psi and that’s another 3 psi higher than what I run on map 1 and approx 6 psi higher than what my oem map 0 seems to run .

Just checking with ya u think that is ok . I only run shell 93 octane .

THank u

i recommend checking with BMS directly

I assume our onboard boost readings in the Sports Display is pretty accurate right?

I run 91 octane (all we get here in Cali from the pump) and have my JB+ installed. I dont think I ever see that I pull more than about 17 or 18 PSI under hard acceleration anywhere in the rev range.

the gauges are not accurate, they show you stock boost

keep in mind, piggybacks operate by tricking the ECU into thinking thats its running stock boost

Mike, you're a legend. Thats why I buy all my stuff from you!

So if I am on the default JB+ setting where they say its about 4psi additional, if the onboard is showing 15 pounds its likely closer to 19 pounds?

thank you

Yes you are approximately pushing 4 PSI on top of the stock boost reflected by the gauges

Mike, (or anyone else who wants to chime in) whats your opinion on using octane boosters or race gas concentrate to get to 95-100 octane range??? been using those to get to around 97 oct and running map 2 on my jb4 for my g87.

the 91 here in Nevada is so bad that I prob wouldn't feel comfortable running map 1 on it and you need stab insurance for all the race gas pumps here in vegas.

its prob best to just run e30 and run map 2 or map 4 im guessing tho?

Its best to run E30, use the Arco/rebel gas station on Jones & Tropicana

Race gas is excellent but very expensive

I have never used octane booster but from what i head they can be a little inconsistent

If I am a ‘24 m240ix, G42/B58TU, in Pennsylvania, is there any reason to get the CARB APPROVED JB4, over the regular one?

if you are outside of Carb territory , no need to get the Carb JB4

Think you can get me one before the weekend in Pittsburgh PA?

[emcee1011]

I'd recommend anyone (especially those running an e85 mix) to go to the jb4 forums and get a custom map 6 from one of the guys there. If you don't want to mess with map 6, at least they can help you with datalogging the lower maps to see what your fueling and timing looks like.

agree, if you messing with map 6, make sure to get help from BMS directly.

with that said, i recommend you stay with OTS maps when running a piggyback. you dont want to be too aggressive

Hi Mike, thanks for all that you do! Wealth of knowledge.

Any 2024 Black Friday / Monday sales that you are aware of coming up for the JB4?

Thank you for the kind words

Im not allowed to post prices on here, but please call when you are ready to place your order and i will help out with the price.

This may be a dumb question, but are there good reasons why I would/should buy a JB4 from x-ph (or another business) versus direct from BMS?

It's a good bet that I'll go the JB4 route within the next year. I just have to get over the nerves of installing it on basically a brand new car. I had one on my E84 X1 and loved it.
