Without an intercooler and Meth kit I would not recommend touching the dial. Also there is no proven results saying you gain more HP and Torque when turned up. All different results pending Mods and Ambient Temps.

I am giving it one last test run at 2 O'clock position with all my Mods. If timing and AFRs are not within specs I'm moving on to a Manic Stage II Tune. Not worth the gamble, IMO...

 

I'm still trying to find info on where to get a manic tune is southwest Florida, I haven't heard much more on NAM about their transition over here.

 

Need some help with my Boost Gauge through Dash Command. I added the PID (CALC.BOOST_PRESSURE) is that the right one? I also added the same on in Data Grid so i can log the boost times.

JB+ comes in later tonight, can't wait!

 

you are correct

 

I don't remember reading upon this, but could I run 110 ethanol-free octane? It's available to me so I'm just curious. Or better yet, what if I mix 4 gallons of that and the rest 93 octane? I'm trying to play around with the settings without using E85. Thanks.

 

Is it leaded, then do not run it in a motor with o2 sensors. VP-110 is leaded I believe.

I'll go by and check it out tomorrow when I gotta fill up. I just can't find 100 anywhere here...:-(

 

Anyone running non oem spark plugs ? Thought it might be beneficial to go a step colder as I'm up to 7-8 on the ol fun dial but can't find **** for information on the n18 plug options . Pulled one out assuming it would be the usual oem mini plug ( NGK) but it's a Beru ?? Beru 12zr-6spp2-1 FYI .

Thanks for any input !

 

There are several threads on what Plugs are suggested, Beru's are stock on the N18 engines.

 

I am running these NGKs LKR8AP.

 

Some of the guys running the Manic tune are using these:

NGK-ILKR8E6

 

Running at 40% now and it seems to be running much better. I'll try the E85 soon, i have one down the street. Should i do 75% 91 and 25% E85?

Thanks

 

3 gallons of E85 on a empty tank, and the rest Premium gas. Also it's easier to measure if you always put the E85 in first

 

The plug Manic suggests is NGK DILKR8B6

 

Where is this at? Will we ever see it? I remember seeing another video other than the one below of Terry doing a pull with the Stage 1 kit.

Not sure. With Manic cracking the N18 ECU via the OBD port there is a limited timeframe before true tunes hit the market.

 

that's a video of the JB+. no stg 1 on the horizon, afaik.

 

The JB+ is all we have planned on the tuning front currently.

 

Just ordered AEM intake, q300 catback, and now the JB+ for my stock 2013 S... I'm ready

 

Hey everyone: Had my JB+ for a week. Lately my Paceman has been rough idling and almost stalling when I start her up and then turn the AC on. Only had this problem since I installed the JB+. I have it set at 50% (stock setting) and I only use 93 grade fuel at every fill up. Any thoughts? I might take it off and see if problem continues, if so I will take to dealer. Its a 14 Paceman S All4.

 

I would first remove it, since it only takes seconds. Give the car a few miles to adapt back to stock. If the problems still occurs, then you know it's not the JB. It could be something very simple like a spark plug

 

I had a cold start issue similar to this. I believe that after a while the engine adapted and the issue disappeared.

 

Quick question, I'm honestly not sure how this works... should I go ahead and install the JB+ with my car stock right now, and install my intake and exhaust that will arrive later. Or install those, drive around, and then add the JB+? I'm sorry if this is a ridiculous question, I'm curious if the JB+ adjusts to its surroundings or if its just a flat gain regardless of additions made.

 

Install it today, the other parts can be added later. No issues

 

Actually you have wasted too much time already.
