original786 · 08-23-2009, 05:53 PM

hey guys just got a brand new jb3 plug n play

i was looking at the equipment that i recieved. there is a serial cable that is connected to the wires..

well when i look at the serial cable it is missing 3 prongs.
is that normal and does everyone can verify there is the same way?

i will post pictures soon

original786 · 08-23-2009, 06:03 PM

btw what intake should i install with my jb3

i got the red scoops, so what intake goes good with it

jlangton · 08-23-2009, 06:33 PM

I would imagine any intake will work fine with them, I just put on the BMS DCI with my scoops and so far so good.

JDLM · 08-23-2009, 06:37 PM

most of the intakes for the car all work the same, anyone will be fine

That's normal for three wires to be missing. Mine was the same, if you pick up a boost gauge that is compatible with the jb3, you'll get an adapter from Terry that will require you to pin out those last three holes.

original786 · 08-23-2009, 07:01 PM

what last three holes?

the one i showed you in the pic?

This is a great question. Many thanks to the OP for being very observant. I'm running a JB+ and plan to move up to the JB3 in the near future. I'm a stickler for detail and I would have also had a question about this. Enjoy your JB3 Bud! Let us know how she does for ya.

press and hold the gas for 4-5 seconds, release and then pump the gas 7 times and you will be on map 7
