JB4 Installed!

[HiTechredneck]

OK so installation was not a big deal, mainly just cleaning up wiring and the pain in the butt firewall grommet.
Comes with Map 1 installed so I left that alone as I'm still adding 93 (I ran 89 until recently) Bluetooth connected flawlessly and default gauge setup is great, although I may change it a little. I'll watch mileage as stock it averaged about 15.3 and I run about 80 on the hiway. Only had a chance to put a few miles on it as it started raining, but in Sport mode it really wakes it up!! I'm OK with shifting so that and flexibility with tunes was why I went with JB4 instead pf ProCal. It leaves zero footprint if I need to take it in for warranty. As I get more time with it I'll share my thoughts. Cost was similar but maybe less in the end as no need for stealership installation.

What's neat is that you can assign different maps to different drive modes. I have map 2 on sport mode, 1 on normal and 0 on eco.. also recommend the more aggressive pedal setting mapping. I noticed a difference with that as well. Terry Burger also reviewed my logs to make sure my Bronco was happy with with everything, with quick responses (on a Sunday night!!) so he definitely backs his product.

Thanks for the tip on that!!!! I will definitely look into doing that - I assume it's in settings?

So I went into settings and did not see specifically how to do it but I will assume (we know that definition) that what is needed is to select the mode - let's say Sport on the Braptor first- and then on the JB4 app select Map 2 as in your example - correct? MANY THANKS FOR SHOWING THIS!

Increase your boost upper limit is another one to play around with. I don’t know how it helps or hurts on stock downpipes but it sure helped with them upgraded along with the CAI (Injen).

Now that is cool. Its fully automated, I guess?

It is - you first need to find and turn on the option for drive mapping. Then grab the mode you want and set the Map for that mode. I'm using Map 1 for Normal and Map 2 for Sport

moved the upper limit to 19 (conservative) and spent some time getting to know the app, picking gauges etc. Already had the S&B CAI and no plans to change exhaust (at least for now)
Overall I'm really happy about choosing the JB4 over the ProCal - mainly for no dealer installation, clean removal if needed and the overall flexibility on Mapping as well as drive mode mapping. Mileage is yet to be determined but I expect a bit less due to the "fun factor" - previously I got about 15.5 including hiway trips at 82 MPH

I’ve shown improved average mileage by 1-2 mpg on long highway trips using the tune, so you never know.
