JB3 board upgrade photos

Mike@N54Tuning.com · 09-08-2010, 05:34 PM

A couple alpha shots of the upcoming JB3 upgrade board with certain areas blocked out to keep prying eyes at bay. There is a PRO version (photos attached) and a lite version called the G4.

The G4 is a direct swap like the G3 upgrade and uses the existing G3 enclosure and connector system. It features CAN (and all that entails such as in dash gauges, code reading, etc), auto boost ranging, progressive methanol mapping, and a few other features.

The PRO version has a new aluminum enclosure and connector system, and is packed with features for heavily modified cars. Still can't get in to much detail on that now as a few things are not finalized but one of the items in testing is having the PRO board progressively run the methanol pump directly. Eliminating the need for external controller boxes and allowing the tuning to select how much meth needs to be injected given the current timing, EGT, desired boost target, etc.

No official ETA or pricing details yet but the G4 board is currently in alpha testing in BMS' development cars. So that is likely to be released first. The PRO board is much more involved but BMS is still shooting for an XMAS release date on that.

As I've mentioned the only way to get either upgrade will be to already own a JB3....
