Just installed (and is my log ok?) JB4 EWG Add On Connectors

[PMR818]

Just installed those EWG add on connectors to my JB4 and took the car for a spin. I can't tell what's going on from just feel; I suppose the shifts feel smoother and so does the acceleration. But I can't tell if the acceleration is any better or maybe even not as good as before.

I know it says [on Stinger 3.3L EWG Connectors - N54Tech.com - International Turbo Racing Discussion] to have v14 along with all these user adjustments -- so yes logic dictates to abide -- but the corner cutter in me didn't. I figured they're just suggestions than must-do's but what do I know. Can anyone with experience chime in pls? Thank you in advance.

Also below is a graph from today (map 4 and 91 gas) - did one pedal to the metal from 0 to about 75mph and then a few more small ones while already rolling. Attached is the spreadsheet.

NEVERMIND! Updated JB4 firmware to v22 finally (duh) and she's back baby -- she's back! Haven't touched any other JB4 settings but I am elated again driving this baby. I think the EWG connectors made it better but hey - butt dyno gonna butt dyno.

I would like to see a log now that the firmware is updated. Map 4 seems like it would be way to aggressive for 91 octane.

Maybe a few of the guys can take a look and make sure it's running good.

 

[Terry@BMS]

Map2 is the max for 91 octane.

 

[PMR818]

Got it. Risks of keeping it at map 4? I’ve always liked the feel of it the most but I will switch to map 2 (which I haven’t tried in a while admittedly).

 

[PMR818]

Alright alright so map 2 is great and so was installing the EWG add on. Although the process of unplugging the car’s wastegate on both sides sucked bc I was sticking my hands through tight spaces so I struggled mightily to unclick that sucker. Think I’m traumatized.

 

[StingertimeNC]

yes, installing those was a huge pain!

I'm currently having trouble with mine xc I just get a whole bunch of engine codes! currently trying to use burger support to fix the problem but it's taking a while. might just have an old jb4 but not 100% sure yet.

2nd hand JB4?

 

[SIMONGUEY]

2nd hand JB4?

yes sir!

 

[ChaneRZ]

Maybe need the new chip.

 

[SIMONGUEY]

Maybe need the new chip.

that's what I'm thinking also tbh. I contacted burger support but they're asking for a data log. I feel nervous doing it because I get three engine codes that don't even show up when you look it up. ima do it when I get home today but I don't even fully know how to get good data to log for them like do I start at 0 and just floor it? and if so for how long.

 

[StingertimeNC]

You can do a roll from say 30-90 or something. Maybe start in second gear and get 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears.

Can someone point me in the right direction for which settings I should change my JB4 given my mods (see sig) including my EWG add on connectors’? I’ve been doing E30 and still over-boosting into limp mode even on map 2 (even tho I tend to do map 3 or 4 with E30 mix but of course the mixes vary given who-knows-what the gas station is actually giving me when I put in 4-6 gallon of E85 on top of my 91).

 

[StingertimeNC]

maybe support at burger tuning? or check out this site/thread: Kia & Hyundai JB4 - N54Tech.com - International Turbo Racing Discussion

 

[ChaneRZ]

it has something to do with your downpipe. Email Terry regarding EGW settings.

Lower FF in increments of 5 until its no longer over boosting.

Today I found a sweet spot number with the FF (and as mentioned I also have the EWG add on connector) and my shifts were buttery smooth and fast. Couldn’t believe it: Didn’t floor it and no E85 but still impressed…

For those in cold weather (< 50f) we're also testing an update in the app, v24_t7.
