Installed HKS the other day as my first install upon which to build from. I got mine from BMS and also purchased the gapping tool and the magnetic socket. It was very easy to gap them correctly. The install takes about 1.5 hours due to the center passenger plug issues but all the others are super easy - as long as you have the right tool for the job. I noticed you were in a dimly lit garage. You’ll want to have a good headlamp or friend to hold a bright LED flashlight. Just follow the various UA-cam videos and you’ll be good to go. Note: my aFe intakes have been shipped and can’t wait to get them installed.
Yessir, already got them gapped! Hopefully will only take about 45 minutes tops. Bank 5 is really the only difficult one to get to. And you will love the aFe!!
I installed the JB4 + plugs + ethanol analyzer + Pedal Commander on my G80 TT and run map 3 using straight E30 fuel = a completely different car. My 300k mi F150 in 4x4 gets better MPG, but I didn't buy the G80 for fuel economy.
Use Liqui molly, pro line fuel system cleaner, I have the same car and pretty much FBO, half tank of E30 gives me 230 miles range and I drive like someone with a mental disorder. Also since you have E30, you should check out map4!
Very easy to customize and change maps without having to remove the ECU, or plug in a computer. Not planning on doing anything too crazy and this tune still ads over 100hp when you get into map 4 on E.
@@-kjlifestyle- The benefit of having an ECU tune though is a much better driving experience. I've never worried about the map switching ever since I got my Lap3 tune. It is more refined than other ECU tunes currently, and my personal opinion is it's better than a JB4. The power delivery is so much better. JB4 really helps the most at WOT. It doesn't seem to do to much normal driving. Pair the ECU with a TCU tune and you have a whole new beast. The biggest benefit is the price, for the JB4. You can find a used one pretty cheap now days. Lap3 ECU tune is expensive, but depending on what you're looking for, it's worth it. So, if you just want to wake it up a little, JB4 all the way. You want to push the car, ECU tune.
When you install it, it will automatically be in map 1. You could leave it but at that point there is no benefit to running E until map 3. It only takes the click of a button to change. I also wouldn’t reccomend leaving it in map 3 to daily for the sake of the HKS plugs you should have installed for map 3 and higher.
I have yet to put my car on a dyno, but there are lots of other videos of singers with the JB4, Intakes, Exhaust, and downpipe‘s on the dyno out there. From a videos of other dyno charts, I can make an educated guess of around 430 wheel.
How has the car performance after the JB4 install? I ordered the EWG wires as well. I found one comment on another video that said it’s easy to install those from the bottom after removing the slash guard below the engine. I’ll do that when I install the FMIC. Planning on the Lozic TCU once I get all this complete. I’m just haven’t decided what settings I want yet. Waiting to see if TWN2RBO gets another and posts a video. Seems like -13% is good for folks who have this as a daily driver. My JB4 arrived today and I’m planning to install this week. Actually I have a lot to install this week - FMIC, VT (w/lit kit), aFe, and MBRP. I haven’t been home in over a month and there’s lots of parts sitting in my living room right now. My wife will be happy when they’re gone. I’ve been reading the JB4 tech forums for the past week and watching install videos on UA-cam to get ready for this project. Any experiences with the JB4 so far that you said “I wish I had known x before the install.”? Nice job on wire management. I’m probably going to copy that setup. Thanks for the in-depth install video. Best yet and updated for the current product. Saved it to my UA-cam folder for easy access.
Thanks Mike! Here to help. It was pretty straight forward. Make sure no wires are tucked behind anything that could move, ensure the rubber seal on the fire wall does not pop out and lastly triple check all hous connections and OBD plug before you start it. It has been performing awesome!! I’ll be posting videos going over map 2, 3 &e30 shortly!
I’m going to install mine today. My only hesitation/concern is the method of getting the OBD wire through the rubber grommet. I saw the TWN2RBO video where he stated water came into the cabin thorough that gap created by putting the wire through the grommet. Do you ever look to see if there’s another way through the firewall? If that’s the only method then that’s what I’ll do.
4 installs complete one to go. I did the exhaust and JB4 today. Definitely copied up your wiring. Used 1/4 and 3/8 conduit. Contrary to what I read, installing the EWG from the bottom is a real challenge. I was able to install the driver side wire (after more than a few 4 letter words) but the passenger is impossible from the bottom. Tomorrow, I’ll remove the aFe airbox (I just installed yesterday) and turbo intake to reach the passenger EWG plug. Frustrating but the only way I can find to do it.
I serviced mine recently it got 2 years left on warranties. I only unplugged the OBD-port and put it into map 0. I asked when I came to pick it up about warranties and they said I still have all warranties. They even plugged it back into the OBD-port. If you care about your warranty it's probably safer to just remove everything though, you never know what your dealership is like.
Does the JB4 come with all these adapters/wires? I had read somewhere that the fuel adapters werent included, but then another place mentioning they are NOW included in the box... Thanks!
I’m not too sure since that is a different setup, I’m assuming it’s the same idea of connecting to the charge pipe and O2 sensors. I think I saw a video of someone doing it on the 2.0
Perhaps only 20 minutes to install a JB4 on my Stinger, but an hour to replace the 6 spark plugs (mandatory)? No thanks. I'll keep it stock with more than enough power at 365 hp.
Been on jb4 for 8 months now no issues I absolutely love it. Map6 on E30 I ran an 11.54 1/4. Cpi is now installed running E50 lol. It feels insane
Is the difference between now and stock like actually insanely different??

So much easier with fuel wire adapters. No splicing into any wires. 😁
Exactky👍🏽
Very very clean install !!!! Super impressive!!! Instantly subscribed because of your quality work 🤙
Thank you!!
Thank you for the video my friend, will be tuning mine soon so you have been very helpful. All the best 👍🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed! Hope the install goes smooth and the tips helped🤞🏽

Brake snip or TCU to make it really move
Great video! I didn’t even realize I needed to buy that o2 sensor separately 😭😭😭
was looking on how to run the wires, video did the job. thanks.
Glad it helped!🤙🏽
Awesome installation, thank you 🔥
Glad I could help!
Great video!
Thanks BJ!
What's the benefit of this type of tuner over a standard ECU tune without the plug and play additions of JB4? Thanks
Very easy to customize and change maps without having to remove the ECU, or plug in a computer. Not planning on doing anything too crazy and this tune still ads over 100hp when you get into map 4 on E.

Is there a burble tune map for the Jb4? Not like those obnoxious pops and crackles ricer sounding stuff. Like the German car quality burbles
Unfortunately not. I noticed some slight burbles once I had my exhaust and more so with downpipes. Nothing like a German b58 bang though
Here's a question. When you install JB4, can you install it and leave it, or do you have to download the app and use the map every time you drive e?
When you install it, it will automatically be in map 1. You could leave it but at that point there is no benefit to running E until map 3. It only takes the click of a button to change. I also wouldn’t reccomend leaving it in map 3 to daily for the sake of the HKS plugs you should have installed for map 3 and higher.
@@-kjlifestyle- Can you daily drive with Map2?
@@jedi7158 I have heard people do it but you might want to replace your plugs after only about 15-30,000 miles depending on how hard you drive
have you seen the amount of hp it kicks out with the JB4 yet? maybe on the dyno im just wondering how much hp i can expect out of it.

@@mikem9047 have you found any online tutorials for the EWG wire install?
This will void the warranty right? Just bought one stinger but is the GT line, 300 hp. Not sure if is recommended for a 2.5L motor.
I just take mine off before I go to service so they don’t know. Definetly get the fuel wire adapters
I serviced mine recently it got 2 years left on warranties. I only unplugged the OBD-port and put it into map 0. I asked when I came to pick it up about warranties and they said I still have all warranties. They even plugged it back into the OBD-port.

At the time I purchased it, I had to add them separately. The only wires that came with the actual unit as part of an option was the Bluetooth adapter
@@-kjlifestyle- add from burger tuning themselves or somewhere else? Wasn’t sure if they had parts they recommend .
@@Uncle19 Yes! They are on the burger tuning website. I remember it was listed under suggested product after I added the tune to my cart
@@-kjlifestyle- thanks alot man looking forward to it!!
bros how's it a year later? I cant decide jb4 or lap3 for my genesis g70 3.3t same engine as the stinger
I can only speak for the jb4, I loved it considering how easy it was to change maps from the phone and view analytics!
How’s it holding up if u still have it
I had no issues whatsoever! Had it on for the whole time I had the car, just sold it to another stinger owner and she loves it as well👍🏽
지린다
Getting the jb4 450whp package in a couple months and upgrade the intercooler, cant wait!!
You will love it🔥🔥
Just remember to get to the 450 whp, it depends on fuel. You won't reach it unless your using high octane, higher than 93.
I hooked everything up like you said and when I go to start the car in order to connect the Jb4 the car kill itself
Did you wait the 15 minutes with the key far away and unplug everything while it’s still locked?
Dont to this on top of a towel
What phone mount do you have?
I don’t have one at the moment
How much more hp did you really get out of it ?
From other cars with the same set up, it’s made around 450 hp on the dyno
Damn thats crazy
I ordered my stinger tribute few months ago and getting it next month 😁
@@cydneymali1970 Nicee!! Intakes and exhaust got to be the first
How much horsepower does it add?
Around 100 on map 3 and 4 on E30. I have not put my car on a dyno but pleanty of others have with similar mods
@@-kjlifestyle- thanks for the reply. No E85 in my area. What do you think on map 2?
@@adamg400 probably about 40-50, Definetly noticeable!
@@-kjlifestyle- thanks alot
How do u install on the 2.0?? Can't find one of the connections.
I’m not too sure since that is a different setup, I’m assuming it’s the same idea of connecting to the charge pipe and O2 sensors. I think I saw a video of someone doing it on the 2.0
just remove the ground of your battery bro. no need to be doing a song and dance and waiting 20 mins
Perhaps only 20 minutes to install a JB4 on my Stinger, but an hour to replace the 6 spark plugs (mandatory)? No thanks. I'll keep it stock with more than enough power at 365 hp.
Just depends how much power you want out of it! You can run JB4 up to map 2 but anything higher you need the plugs. Helps eliminate burnout at top end
