I4 tuning box development - who wants one?

[Lotus F1]

JB4 should be ready for sale by May.

So how does that differentiate or will it or not

I like their app and hoping they’ll do an e85 tune

Cool... E85 would be a nice bump in power definitely take it over 500hp but will need some hardware upgrades

Jb4 is a way better product which runs on canbus having the ability to do logging.

So this would be under the assumption the ECU got cracked no?

No, it's a piggyback with more options. I've had many jb4 units, never an issue. Terry burger responds via email quickly when you have questions.

Piggyback is a piggyback, nobody has cracked the ecu yet, despite whoever told you their products are.

Well it seemed the implication was that jp4 was different in some manner but I could see it's not

 

[TurboTambo]

Could an ECU Master DET3 piggyback be used on the i4????

 

[Dirtymix]

Can we do a crowdfunding to help someone to crack that dawn ecu ?

Well sure as shit after the hundred bolts to get the panels off I get stuck at loosening the AC belt. The fucking thing won't budge at all

Not trying to be clever, but you’re not trying to loosen the pully bolt are you? Looking at the instructions you posted it looks like a self tensioning pully, if you turn the pully bolt clockwise it should release the tension on the belt allowing for its removal. If this is what you’re already doing I’m sorry I can’t think of anything else.

More too come...its installed

That’s great, so in the end would you describe it as an easy fit? Also, please post some feedback on your impression of it

 

[Lotus F1]

The installation is not that easy if you do it on ramps. One of the problems is the suggested tool bits needed are incorrect. Thats leads to a lot of wasted times going to and from the auto parts store. I don't know may the sizing for stuff is different than USA/Euro. If you have the right tools it helps obviously. Because of the error of the manual and tool hunting, doing it from the floor it took a better part of the day for me to install it. There are a lot of screws on the undertray and diffuser. Access to the B1 connector is very difficult. Its not what I would call easy by and stretch of the imagination. I am still doing the 25 miles it need to run in mode 4 before I can bump it up to mode 7. No check lights or obvious issues thus far

Thanks for the feedback ref the installation, I’m guessing but was it the T40 torx bit or E10 torx socket that was incorrect, if so what size did you need?

 

[Lotus F1]

It was a T45
However a friend mech of mine said that could be that the bit may be slightly thinner then what's sold here although the same size technically . There was also another needed to remove the ac that has a torx bolt. That was wrong as well. I think it said a 10 but it was a 12.

Thanks, that’s much appreciated, if I go for it I’ll make sure I’ve got both sizes just in case

Appreciate you being the US pioneer on this. Let's see if there's enough juice here to warrant the squeeze.
