Jb4 or ESS
I recently purchased a n54/ single owner. Old lady driven with 93k. I recently did a coolant flush along with a oil change and changed the oil filter housing gasket along with the expansion tank. I have VRSF downpipes and DCI's and was curious as to which tune to run. I don't want a CEL and i heard JB4 stacked with MHD would take care of it. I also heard ESS would aswell. Most importantly... i want reliability.. all input is welcome being that i am knew and could use the knowledge

The back end flash maps loaded via MHD turns off the CEL. The JB4 is an awesome tuning tool and the free maps provided are top notch. JB4+MHD is the best N54 tuning solution and these days pretty inexpensive too. The MHD flash license for JB4 maps is only $79.

Also no reason for a back end jb4, unless there is a specific feature that you need it for because you are running a more complex meth setup or something that might benefit from it. Mhd is inexpensive, tons of support, and still being updated, and easy install. Will also suppress your dp code.

Just flash stage 2 and call it a day. MHD is awesome. You'll probably need to do all 6 coils and plugs otherwise it'll misfire.

For example one feature that JB4 customers tell me they love is the ability to see boost and timing values displayed in dash gauges whenever they race around the car. No need to connect app or do anything the data is always right there in front of you. If you have a Fuel-IT E85 kit installed then you can also view the E85 mixture every time you start the car on the speedo so you know. It's all really easy. Just a few of the simple but really useful features people like. Last edited by Fuel-It!; 06-18-2019 at 04:12 PM.. |

Sometimes it's different strokes for different folks and there is more than one way to do things. But just because you can get something done one way doesn't mean it's the best or easiest way for everyone. Need to be open minded to different approaches and their benefits. |

Mhd alone should suffice. Jb4 just adds for more stuff to go wrong.

That's kinda what I was asking. Nothing wrong with it.
