I highly recommend you block out your name and address! The world isn't a benevolent place nowadays. Looking forward to your install and impressions.

yeah the problem not even be from someone here but anyone looking for info about you can cross reference any public username with any public forum

Ok ok. Will do.

Better now?

Not to take away from Darkworks Design but I'm planning to make a 3D printed bracket. PETG should be able to withstand temperatures above the airbox.
Darkwork's bracket looks genuinely nice but I'm not sure it will be visible. Just need something better than zip ties to hold box in place.
Anyone advise on a better 3D filament for use in the engine bay?

...Unless you frequent an airport. Our 100LL is still leaded. Not that you want it, I'm just saying leaded gas is still the only thing used in general aviation. (Edit: And it's relatively cheap at $5-6/gallon.)

Don't use leaded gas in a car with catalytic converters. It will destroy the cats and over time possibly clog them.

Oh man, wait until you learn about phone books.

How many Sarah Connors in your area?

Oh man, wait until you learn about phone books.

His first and last name and address were fully visible in the first version of the picture he posted. Randomly looking up a name and address in a phone book, is not the same as seeing a full name and address being posted where you know for sure there's at least one expensive sports car there.

For those with ODB interface- is Boost pressure displayed in PSI ?
If so what is the max boost pressure stock vs map2. Question is for both engines.

On the V6 (one run each), I saw max boost (psi) of 7.2 stock, 8.7 map 1 and 8.8 map 2.

Hey guys just installed my jb4 module in my v6 Emira and it’s throwing esc temporarily unavailable and engine reduce acceleration errors and running really rough. Not sure what’s going on as everyone else seems to be getting it to work instantly with plug and play? drove around this morning and it was terrible, power was all over the place and it felt like it was cutting most of the time. Couldn’t got past 4K rpm and generally ran like it was dying half the time. Any advice?

My friend had a similar problem. He had a bend pin on his MAF. Unplug your connectors and make sure you did not screw it up when you previously connected.

I reconnected my the MAF and ECU connectors originally and it went back to normal. I’ve tried again and got the same result. I’ll look into the pins and report back. Thanks!

 

[Mattbrissy]

Do these photos look normal. I took a pic of the MAF sensor and it has 4 pins. The factory connector that connects to that only has 3 pins and the jb4 piggyback cables both have 4. I’m totally confused

Similar here but not sure if the only log I have been able to record was on map1 or map2 because I still have to learn how to start and stop de log record software. I was expecting to have recorded 2 files for each map and found only one.

Boost peak / spike up to 8.7 around 6K rpm and lower toward 7.9 psi @ 6600rpm closer to redline.

To be honest I did not check or remember if the oem one had only 3 pins instead of 4 but if your pins struggle to make a good contact signal you can apply a tiny amount of special White grease specially designed for electronics connectors to try to help.

I would hope everyone knows that, but...You're right, probably best to tell people. The takeaway was supposed to be "100 octane is really common, and leaded. Just not for cars."

No cats on airplanes, baby. Just pipes out the side.

The "_M1_" in the graph header indicates that it's map 1.

"M2" would be map 2, and "M0" is stock.

That’s fair enough. Hopefully someone knows what’s going on or how I can fix this. I’m stumped. Everything works fine again when I reconnect the factory wires so it can’t be a failing MAF sensor and the pins appear fine since they click firmly into place. So deflated haha was really looking forward to this
