BMW F10 550i, 650i, 750i: Burger Motorsports JB4 n63tu Installation

[@MegaJugMan]

These are probably the most coherent BMW modification videos on KZbin. Well Done! It looks like you stopped posting a year ago, I hope everything and everyone is still running. 👍🏼

[@codymitchell2321]

Great job man!! I have been looking a long time for upgrade videos for my 2014 550i. I have watched all your videos multiple times. I'm inspired and ready to get started with my JB4.

[@houseofknock67]

Always disconnect the negative terminal, never the positive.

[@splittlive]

Yes, immediate difference in power, 70-80 hp increase on Map 2 depending on weather conditions.

[@glynnbreland2391]

SPLITT MODS I need you help!!! can you contact me. I’m not able to get in contact with people of burger tuning about my Bluetooth connect kit!

[@splittlive]

glynn breland I’ll try and help what’s the problem?

[@splittlive]

I’m at lunch right now, I’ll call you after, maybe 30min.

[@glynnbreland2391]

SPLITT MODS sounds good!

[@sebbbou5455]

Hi very nice video! Very straight forward One question Is the BCM give more power on map 1? Is it night and day difference instead only two firsts sensor?

[@batdevice]

Thank you for posting, interesting the differences between TU and non-TU installation process. I have a JB4 and Sprint Booster on my 2011 550i with 80K KM (50K Miles), my other mods are two Turbosmart blow-off valves, cooler thermostat, cooler plugs, 3.5 BAR TMAP Sensors, Sport Oil Cooler Valve and a 140psi Coolant Tank Lid. I keep my JB4 on MAP 2 most of the time. I live in Germany and run my car hard getting her up and over 140 MPH on a regular basis, so far so good!

[@joshhuoabski3278]

You amaze me adter making the sencond intercoolers connections. I did not see that just falling in like it did for you! GOOD JOB

[@ericgilbertson4719]

Thanks for this. Just installed in my ‘16 550 msport using your vid. No issues. Connected immediately and working. Really appreciate it.

[@rickb3288]

Thank you so much for creating this video. Job well done!

[@joshhuoabski3278]

Would you post another video of you opening that beautifully machined housing to show the ruct factory that has begun thanks the buglar's install suggestions. A veritical path to an eclectical opening is a home made moisture collection device. Jb4 knows they made a bad suggestion, seem to have no intention on editing that to a horizontal mounting, and saving the chipset and possibly your motor.....

[@standard919]

Did you ever change chargepipes? I heard stock ones can’t handle tunes or power upgrades.

[@garagebandkiing]

Great video dude! Im looking at buying a 550i myself ☺️

[@2JJays]

You would be a life saver if you can show me where the BCM plugs are located. I think I found them but not confident..

[@LuisRiveraGuilbe]

Hello I install the JB4 to my 2014 550i but I would like to program maybe you can help me. Thank to you Im just a regular guy and I start to do modification to my car my self you made it so easy. So far installed on my car JB4 order already the pipe and hoses for the cold air intake and also order the the down pipes. Keep do it

[@jeffreymedeiros6253]

Just subscribed. I have an x2 m sport, x6 m sport, and a 750 m sport. Never got the bug to do anything to them. I’ll be ordering the JB4 asap and messing with the 750. Going to be following you closely.

[@iCarnagee]

I know you posted this video a while ago, and I’ve been following your build and I love it! But one thing I’m having trouble with is finding where to connect the bcm?

[@johnnymac5227]

Did you ever find where to connect the bcm?

[@TAR-me3yv]

Hey man, great videos! Quick question: why do the MAF sensors need to be left unplugged for the JB4 to work correctly? Thanks in advance!

[@splittlive]

Not sure of the technical reason, but with the MAF plugged in the JB4 will not run correctly.

[@bimmersimon4871]

If you unplug the MAF sensors, then the motor is running in Alpha-N mode, which means it is running on a predefined map and not on the measured air mass. Looks like the JB4 is tuning the motor in Alpha-N mode.

[@painkiller5766]

Is this going to be the case for the N63? Unplug MAF sensors or get a harness kit to leave them in? have a 2011 and planning on doing the cold air intakes and JB4

[@bimmersimon4871]

@@painkiller5766 It looks like there are two different options: 1: F Chassis N63tu stage1, where you plug a module between the OEM plug and the MAF sensor 2: JB4, where you unplug the MAF sensor only for the N63TU according to the recommendations of the install guide. -> RTFM ;)

[@arkeam9292]

Great vid, thank U. Want more yank from My 550. Perhaps I should've looked but, do U have a performance segment? The phone display at the end was a brutal tease.

[@kiickinballistics]

Not sure why you removed the centre pockets at 6:00. You mentioned accessing the sensors but by the end of the install they had been put back on, but I didn’t understand what you did in that void. I’m sure it’s in the instructions.

[@jespinet1]

Did you ever post a video of your BCM connection for the JB4? You mentioned it in your cold air intake video but I don't see it anywhere in your videos list.

[@xtreme550i5]

I guess the tu comes with a grounding wire ?

[@marclongshore8519]

I wonder if you are to leave the maf sensors unpluged when the jb4 n63tu is installed?

[@SirtexXD]

Hey there! Big fan of your videos! Hope to see more from you. I bought the JB4 Beta (BCM included) for my 2013 650i N63TU. I replaced all 8 coils and Sparkplugs with NGK 97506 (1 Step colder) because i had misfires with Map 1. Engine runs smooth with Map 0 but if i add boost, i still get misfires with the colder plugs. Do you know what the Problem could be?

[@erickgarcia1037]

Which Map are you running. Is there a breakdown/list of the maps? I have the N63 non TU i just installed it and I really wasn't impressed. I dont want to try other maps until I know what they are for. Kind of surprised BMS doesnt have this listed or more info online. Maybe I just cant find it. Nice Video !

[@splittlive]

Erick Garcia I am currently running user adjustable Map 6. Map guide: Map0: JB4 disabled Map1: Additive map, up to 5psi requested over stock Map2: Additive map, up to 6psi requested over stock Map3: Absolute map, 18psi peak, BCM suggested Map4: Stock with CANbus active for logging and in dash gauges Map5: Absolute lower torque map ramping up to 20psi at redline, BCM required Map6: User definable map generally used for diagnostics Map7: Absolute map, 23psi peak, BCM + fuel control wires required Map8: Progressive WMI map, boost varies based on meth flow and boost additive on the WMI page. BCM suggested.

[@erickgarcia1037]

BCM ? Where can I get that and what is that? Did you make a video on this ? I’m going to try map 2 now that I have some info. Thank you . I also emailed BMS and they just told me map 1 and 2 are only active maps for non TU engines . Wish I would of known this before I purchased.

[@splittlive]

Erick Garcia the BCM harness comes on the JB4 n63tu version. I don’t know if the harness is on the n63 version or not?

[@musthakahamad]

i have a dumb question , does this car have electric steering or hydralic steering ?

[@Rehmzyy]

this is stage 1 correct? I have the same car and can't find stage 2 for the 550i is it a possible upgrade or can you only do stage 1 on the f10 550i's???

[@splittlive]

Not sure your question, but JB4 has several maps and with T-Map sensors and fuel you can run much boost, just be careful.

[@elmayimbe_the_amateur_mechanic]

I’m trying to find this out too. The 2013 and under N63 is a non TU and has a stage 2 option. Not sure if the TU (2014+) has a stage 2 option.

[@julietsvideos5982]

Did you install the BCM?

[@esteemedenergy]

How has the car held up, overall? Any major issues?

[@splittlive]

Zero issue thus far.

[@supahone3]

Awesome video. Did you experience significant power gains?

[@splittlive]

Supah One, yes, significant increase of 70-80 hp depending on weather. You can feel the power immediately.

[@supahone3]

@@splittlive Is this after splicing those extra wires into the CPU or just adjusting the internal switch within the JBD unit to map 2?

[@splittlive]

With the JB4 for the n63tu, there are no wires to splice, it’s all plug and play. The selection of maps and tuning is built into the JB4 app available on iOS or Android.

[@supahone3]

Let me clarify, in the video there were a bundle of connections you chose to not install into the cpu harness. Are you saying map 2 directly from the jp4 is giving you all those power gains without making additional adjustments ?

[@splittlive]

Supah One yes, those are the bcm connections that connect to the boost solenoids, I have another video coming out soon showing the installation of those connections. The current gains on map 2 are only from the tmap sensors on the intercoolers. In order to increase power from there, the addition of the bcm sensors are necessary. The installation of the bcm connectors are a little more difficult as you have to move the passenger side intercooler to gain access to the boost solenoids. Map 2 gains achieve about 5lbs over stock boost along with other tuning with the ecu. To add additional boost the bcm connectors will need to be connected. The n63tu should be able to run about 20lbs on 93 octane. To run more boost than that, you would need to run meth injection or a ethanol gas blend. I hope this helps.

@@kiickinballistics We should see around the same numbers splitt mod has increased with the few mods he has done to his 550i since it’s the same engine and the curb weight is roughly the same 200 pounds and some change lighter then our 750. I believe split mods increased his HP by 175 and his torque by 67 so you should notice a significant difference in power.

Kevin Kalil map 1 is 5psi ask over stock boost. Map 2 is 6psi ask over stock boost.

I just got a 2013 550 does the jb4 have preload tunes already ?

Yes, Map 1 is 5psi over stock and Map 2 is 6psi over stock., Map 3 is a static 19psi, map 6 is user adjustable. BMS is really good about reviewing logs and advise.

[@supahone3]

From what I understand you have since attached your jb4 to the cars cannabus bundle and you are running stage 2. I'm assuming you've been data logging the car and sending information to BMS so they can help find tune your application. Can you share how you went about doing that and the equipment you needed to make that happen?

[@splittlive]

Yes.

[@cesarportillo5624]

Does anyone have one of these for sale ?

On the most aggressive map, what is the psi cap? Do you get a boostcut?

[@splittlive]

No boostcut, Map 3 is 19psi, Map 6 is user adjustable, with T-Map 3.5 Bar you can run to about 25psi, but be careful you must have enough fuel to run boost that high.
