I believe the application JB3 and AA use is very different!

That's a good point. Ok hurry up and wind the clock one week forward then!!! :biggrin:

Zuzu · 08-18-2008, 01:02 AM

Patience grasshopper...

MikeVictor · 08-18-2008, 01:03 AM

While you're at it you can clock forward another 7 weeks, my car should be here by then and I should be over my flu :*(

Wraith · 08-18-2008, 01:28 AM

JB3 PNP :smile:

Ah, you've got it...congrats - I thought you'd missed out on one according to the other thread which states they'd already sold out on the initial pnp batch...there must be ALOT of wild 135i's running around in the U.S LOL

Look forward to your results...

That's a simple re-flash tune, I do the same to my 2.0ltr turbo Astra with 4 different flash programs :smile:

You can also get re-flash tunes for the N54.

JB (or Juice Box) is a more intricate 'piggy back' type tune option
and this particular one JB3 has been entirely designed ground up specifically for the N54, that's what makes it so good for this application :smile:

smarm · 08-18-2008, 01:58 AM

Interesting.

I think I'll still be going the AA route, but look forward to seeing what results yours yields!

Kris · 08-18-2008, 02:35 AM

I opened the JB up today, not much inside but I'll get my v81 eeprom tomorrow with stock dyno on Wed and install on Thur

WAY · 08-18-2008, 02:38 AM

I can't believe you are going to wait till Thursday!!!

Kris · 08-18-2008, 02:41 AM

Patience is a virtue you obviously lack Wayne :biggrin:

Yummo you speak my language.
Bet you dont though, ( or much later) you'd be to hell bent taking it for a spin. I'd be interesting to see how it goes against the stock car while you have the camera.
Beer what a way to finish off a good mod! Thats style!
Yep.

WAY · 08-18-2008, 02:53 AM

No, patience is a virtue only if you have to wait for it. But when you already have it in your hot little hands, why wait?

professor · 08-18-2008, 04:35 AM

i am very keen to hear the merits of the JB3 firsthand from you kris. i wish someone tried the AA and the JB3 both to see the relative merits of each. a test mule for instance.

Kris · 08-18-2008, 05:15 AM

hehe Yep 135 - I'm sure zuzu will be up for a little drag race

professor, ill be sure to post a full review.

Wayne, I have it in my hands but im waiting for the v81 eeprom to fit inside it (turns up tomorrow) and I'm also waiting to get into ALS to get the dynos done..

BMWDave · 08-18-2008, 05:49 AM

subscribed!

Interested to see how much fiddling is involved. If this doesn't require tuner support, i might have an alternative to the SSTT

I await results.....

Yep 135 · 08-18-2008, 07:10 AM

what was the all up cost Kris?

That was I that just missed out Wraith..
By the time they emailed me back with the shipping cost ,about 8 hrs later they where sold out of the PNP JB3 ..

RobLS · 08-18-2008, 10:27 AM

So many wires. Have fun setting it up, and even more, have fun playing with it afterwards!

Kris · 08-18-2008, 03:39 PM

Rob, you must fall into the blade of grass catergory *lol*

I-One-Da? · 08-18-2008, 03:58 PM

It's easy to get a same day dyno. Just run the JB3 for a week, dyno, then pull it and dyno again the same day:w00t: Get your stock dyno second.

That will work right? And being the same day it will give the best results.

Can't wait to here how you like this tune.

They're all just separate wiring looms which terminate with a plug in end...just got to plug it all in correctly and by the looks of things the connectors are all different, so you can't go wrong...

Installation should be easy, it's probably more work getting to the ecu than plugging the whole thing in :smile:
