JB3 Map 3 vs Stock on 335xi

Drakos · 05-08-2009, 12:06 AM

I pick up my new ride tomorrow and my JB3 should be arriving on Monday. I don't really plan on going to the track (maybe once just to see

). I was considering on leaving the setting on the JB3 to map 3 which I believe is default. I want a setting that would be good for a daily driver without going to hard on the engine. How much of a difference is there between 0 and 3? I know specs indicate up to 80hp gain but I assume that might be map 6 or 7. My car does have the sport package with oil cooler. Thanks!!

Now on a stock vehicle, is putting in a JB3 on map 3 a waste of time without supporting mods like a DP and FMIC? Again, I don't plan to race with it. I just want a little more power because that slight turbo lag right now is driving me nuts. I thought about going with the AR Catless DP, but is that also a waste of money if I don't do a complete exhaust swap? Can I just install the DP to the existing exhaust? Will it help the JB3? Sorry for all the questions, and I really appreciate the support so far on the forum. I just picked up my 335xi today and love it!!

That statements gonna be a lie after you feel the JB3.. I run map 3 as daily drivin g and map 6 for agressive driving. DIffersence between stock and map 3 is day and night. After you try map 3 you're gonna say OH SHIT this is so much faster. Than youll get use to it in few days and want more power. Start of modding addiction. DP's yield about 25+ whp for some people..Be safe out there..

yes you can just install downpipes and leave the stock exhaust, the downpipes will gain you a few HP but you'll only be getting the most out of it if you're running a tune.

you'll be able to run the JB3 on map 5, or you can start off with mao 3 and then go up one map every time until you find your perfect map, ive always ran map 6 on my car and cant imagine going with a less aggressive map. hell if i had access to cheap race gas i would probably be running map 7 all day lol

exidisjon, do you have other supporting mods besides the JB3?

Only dual cone intake. And cosmetic mods. Getting quad tips installed this week but has no difference in performance.

Do you think the DP will help on a stock exhaust system? Did you notice a huge difference in performance with those dual cones?
