any JB3 owners got any words of wisdom.... install advise or any advise...

I wonder what its gonna feel like

Install is very easy, I can do it in <20mins now that I've done it many times.
the pain in the butt part for first time installer might be the temp sensor clips. They're quite tight in the beginning (mine is completely loose now) ... but you don't wanna pull too hard coz you might break the wire.

Then it is ECU's connector release lever. the Large one is very close to the edge of the ecu enclosure, so it is kinda tough to pull it out all the way. also, I still remember the first time I did it, I couldn't even get it to release more than 1/8". I've to use a small flathead to pry it loose..

good luck w/ the install.

you're gonna love it, even before adaptation.

Just go slow and take your time.. Its pretty easy and straight forward. The most important piece of advice I can give you is take your time and NOTHING REQUIRES FORCE!! If you are really forcing something you are doing it wrong and will break something.

If its a PNP, its straightforward and relatively easy if you have an ounce of common sense. If it's a pinout, don't extract the yellow wires from the wrong side of the harness. It'll be a mess fixing that if you pull from the wrong side!

Sorry to hear about the speeding ticket. What did they get you at?

The Dinan tune doesn't stand a chance against a JB3 car

Play safe out there!

HaH!

Actually.... The only lead was gained from wheel spin top of first in the 335. otherwise was exactly the same!

Blame it on weight difference... No inching what so ever. A fender from what was stated above.

MFIZZLENYC · 10-13-2009, 05:52 PM

ok ok how bout some were in the middle of these 2 claims!!!!! LOL

jibaholic101 · 10-13-2009, 06:03 PM

sometimes one ticket is all you need ...
like the one I got for exhibition and unsafe left turn (because trying to stick me with exhibition wasn't enough!)...end result was it didn't stick but if it did it would've been 2 pts for 7 years (like a dui).

like mike says...
