JB3 or Dinan stg2 for Circuit Racing...

jeho · 08-07-2008, 12:03 PM

Which do you think would suit me better for circuit racing (tracking)?

The JB3 makes much more power than the Dinan Stg2 and cost much less,
the price of Dinan Stg2 could get me Jb3 + Spearco FMIC/VK Oil Cooler....
But i've read that the Dinan Stg2 retunes many more parameters compared to the JB3 which benefits the car's reliability such as the water pump.

My car is a lease and I have another 2 years 9 months before I return it, so it is fairly new but it has seen 3 track days already

. Im a little worried that within the next 2 years that i might run into turbo problems if running JB3 since the turbos will be under high load/temp for long durations at the track (30min sessions) whereas the Dinan will be a smarter choice to go...?

or just get SSTT since it raises the psi only to ~11-12psi which is much safer than jb3

*I only plan to run ECU - 2nd cat deletes w/ muffler - intake - fmic for engine power mods

What would you choose?

The dinan so you can warranty the car after you blow it up racing!!!

If you have the money, Dinan.

Does Dinan warranty cars that break on the track?

Second, if you delete cats, you delete the Dinan warranty.

Finally, if you use an intake, you void the Dinan warranty.

Why pay the extra money if you clearly cannot use the warranty.

so SSTT or JB3 would be the best option for me?

I see everyone saying Jb3/V3 is really good but i doubt 90% of these guys are using JB3/V3 on the circuit, holding high boost in different gears for 30minute straight...since most are used for 1/4

the dinan warranty thing was a joke. Anyone modifying their vehicle knows the risks and warranties they void...

Wait for the JB3 - I think they said it has something w/ different maps for various purposes...i'm sure they have a track map too...
