considering JB2H...Yes/No?

BES335xi · 07-04-2008, 02:30 AM

I'm need a tune BAD!!! I sold my SSTT and now i'm really really missing that stinkin' power! so i'm considering the jb2h, i've researched around and i really didnt hear anything bad about it, using it with 93octane...so i need you're opinions guys...

1. Should i get it ? why
or
2. i Shouldnt' get it? why

and if i do get it, Anyone willing to install it for me? i'm scared going in there touching shit around that i'm unfamiliar with. LOL...

BES335xi · 07-04-2008, 07:01 AM

Anyoneeeeeeeeeee!

NYCe60ne90 · 07-04-2008, 07:52 AM

gonna make a bit more power then the SSTT, if you sold the SSTT, you should just get a V3 at this point since your going into the ecu anyways, or dinan stg 2 if your gonna keep the car.

BES335xi · 07-04-2008, 07:59 AM

hmmm...yeah i bought the Car. Makes sense to be on the safe side to go with dinan but that's kinda pricey bro.

cwn23 · 07-04-2008, 09:04 AM

V3

how better is JB2H then SSTT

Bimmer335i07 · 07-04-2008, 11:34 AM

I had no problems with the JB2HR. The JB2H will be good too. It's really up to you. The JB is an AWESOME product with AWESOME CS.

If you want my opinion though. Since you live in the tri-state area, you should look into getting the Helix Attache!!! Helix is located in Philly. And they have AWESOME CS too!!!

You can't lose with either one of these tunes.

I and a few others in the tri-state forum have it and LOVE it! I have had 0 problems with it so far.

GL!

Thank's for you're opinion Scott, i'll look into Helix...

Currently, I'm leasing it. But if there are no problems at the end of the lease, then I'm going to buy it out.

So far so good.

Since you're financing your car, you can literally do whatever you want to it. But for me, if I decide to turn in the car at the end of the lease, then I'll just return the car to stock. I still have all the stock parts in my garage.

NYCe60ne90 · 07-04-2008, 11:09 PM

i think 60% is pushing it but it will yeild you better numbers and a bit quicker then a SSTT. i was able to pull about a car length on a sstt car up to 100mph. its 10-15% better imo power wise and such.

i am switching to dinan soon, i have financed my car. trust me, after all the research and such i have done, dinan is the way to go for life of your car, i dont want to play with these tunes, dinan is a great company and there flashes adjust so many parameters and it has all been tested extensively from them.

Sal@AUTOcouture · 07-05-2008, 08:00 AM

I would def recommend it. For under $400 you cant beat it! I ran a JB2HR on 93 octane and pooped on Scott

NYCe60ne90 · 07-05-2008, 09:24 AM

if you got the money go with dinan... thats the bottom line, dinan will give the biggest peice of mind esp since you own your car compared to any other tune out there. esp with all the tuner crack downs happening, the jb2h wont make you much happier then the SSTT did, but at least dinan will offer the same power if not more with a full warranty from them and such.

but again if this isnt your priority, then by all means go with the jb2h, i voted no..

good luck trying to get $$ outta dinan if something goes wrong...

BES335xi · 07-05-2008, 12:03 PM

dinan is way to much $$, and for the power of an SSTT or JB2H i'm not about to spend 2k+, Maybe i'll get another SSTT, haha i'm not looking to go drag racing i just want more power then stock, i've sold sstt because i wanted to get some wheels, and then jb2h was about 200 used so i dont know man i'm still thinking...maybe wait for jb3

NYCe60ne90 · 07-05-2008, 12:09 PM

do you mind going into the ecu? you or others? do you have any relations with the dealer? keep in mind the ecu crackdowns happening

BES335xi · 07-05-2008, 01:31 PM

I dont mind getting in it, i mind fuckin' it up, so far i havnt heard any major shit. i hope i wont be the first 1 . lmao

+1 to that... if u do anything to ur car not Dinan approved, they won't pay a cent to fix anything. Also for less than 1/2 the price of the dinan, u could go for the JB or Helix.

I had the SSTT for a few months but needed more power and went for the Helix Attache since they are so local. I had them install it for me. I went into the dealer the other day, so i went into the ecu and just removed the Helix for the 1st time ever. Piece of cake, only about 10-12 wires and it soooo easy to remove/install as long as you do 1 wire at a time. I'm financing my car too, so i do whatever i want. Plus my SA has no problems with me having a tune or anything

I would say if ur looking for something either go for the JB2 or Helix. I'm not a big V3 fan and it's expensive too. Could always wait for the JB3 coming out late August.

NYCe60ne90 · 07-05-2008, 02:50 PM

i agree the helix is probably a better option if your gonna go into the ecu anyways..

but my friend has the dinan, everything he ever need fixed was resolved?

show Steve Dinan a bill for turbo failure/ replacement and I'm sure he'll cut you a check for the damage...
