Could you imagine how praised this car would be if it had 4 rings in place of the Kia badge? Such a nice car i've been dreaming since 1 year and im still working for this car

Excellent, btw about the rear noise ,you look for the door hatch.

[@OVRBoosted]

It doesn’t sound like a door latch. It sounds like it’s coming from the bumper area. It’s the weirdest thing. It sounds like rubber or plastic flexing, but only when I turn and give just a touch of throttle at low speeds.

[@canocardonapr]

@OVRBoosted it's really weird, check the heat shields instead.

FWIW, I have a 2018 GT-1 I had bought when the car first came out. The JB4 was on it as soon as it became available. Ive had nothing but good luck with it as well if anyone was wondering about long term. Only thing to keep in mind is that it WILL go through spark plugs. Zero issues.

[@OVRBoosted]

Yes, I agree. It’s great and can’t be beat for performance versus cost. Of course there is other options to get more performance, but it will cost you.

[@robertalston6180]

JB4 has been great for me, it's easy to install and being able to see your map curves and what's going on,also being able to change maps based on available gas quality all pluses ...If you have good gas and E85 boom...I just installed snorkels and although I love the sounds of the open air filters, I'm thinking snorkels and the factory airboxes with drop in filters is the way to go espcially for IAT's...But I'm getting the bug for more possibly CPI or a full ecu tune...How are you liking the TCU?

[@OVRBoosted]

Yeah, I agree the jb4 offers a lot for the price point. Easy to upgrade and add cpi or meth if a guy wanted or just run some 93. My tcu is okay, I like it for the launch capability and the touch quicker manual response when shifting. However I still think the highly overpriced it.

[@Miguel-xr8yj]

Does the JB4 affect your warranty?

[@OVRBoosted]

@@Miguel-xr8yj it could depending on your dealership. I’d advise to remove it when going in for service. Better to be safe then sorry. Some guys have reported they bring it in with the jb4 and their dealer is okay with it. I always take mine off.

I always have people ask about it and look at it. Even know it’s been around for 5 years, I feel there isn’t that many of them out there. So when people see it they wonder what it is. Even if I’m driving and see a stinger on the road I always think they look so good, but I’m also bias 😂

Thanks for the vid. Just installed Denso sparks before the JB4. After how many KMs did you change the sparks. Also got the NGT spacers installed and your vid was useful as always

[@OVRBoosted]

I would change out the stock spark plugs before adding the JB4. After that you should be good for 15k-20k km. I always pull one out and look at it every couple thousand km’s. Thank you for your comment.

[@tabraizhayat8520]

Just installed my JB4. With the firmware is this set to 21 Kia/Hyundai or 35 Kia/genesis 3.5t

[@tabraizhayat8520]

On my jb4 I don’t get display for transmission or oil temps. BMS suggested the platform doesn’t support this. But I’m sure I have seen it on other jb4/stinger vids. Thanks again. Looking forward to the next vid

[@OVRBoosted]

@@tabraizhayat8520 I believe both car’s platforms are identical when it comes to trans and such. Have you held on one of the display gauges on your main screen and then scrolled through the options provided? You can customize your gauges to read what you want them to.

[@tabraizhayat8520]

Yeh I have done that. And I chose to see the transmission temp and it was not showing contacted BMS said the platform doesn’t support. Just wondering if it could be my firmware or have ppl tried to read the transmission temp and it not reading it.

[@chrishernandez2490]

How easy is the JB4 to remove temporarily? Are you able to unplug the main connection and the OBDII plug and leave everything else plugged in?

[@OVRBoosted]

It takes 10 min to completely remove. You can just unplug the obd if you want, but if it’s because you want to remove it for dealership purposes, I’d take it all out.

[@Jonathon-im5uu]

Have you tried a LAP3 ECU tune? I know you have the TCU tune, I have been looking at getting the ECU/TCU combo from them. Did the TCU tune crisp up the transmission? My shifts have occasionally felt a little sloppy and was hoping the firmer TCU tune would clean that up a little. Do you also have high flow cats/no cats and secondary downpipes and the transmission cooler? LAP 3 recommends all those pieces for the ECU/TCU stage 1.5 and was wondering if they were actually necessary. I already have the K&N typhoon intakes and a borla catback. Not buying the HFC, downpipes, and trans cooler would save me like 2.5k which would be nice lol.

[@OVRBoosted]

I have not tried the ECU tune. I feel I’m able to run in the 11’s quarter mile and 3’s 0-60mph, so I’m relatively happy with that right now. I feel the jb4 is the safest alternative. I have yet to hear of anyone have engine issues with a jb4. I do not have primary or secondary cats, I just have a cat back borla exhaust. The Lap3 TCU does make the shifts a little crisper, but it’s not a super noticeable difference from the stock tcu. The biggest difference is the launch capability’s and a tad quicker response when manual shifting. It’s honestly hard to justify their price point. I feel there is way cheaper tcu tunes that will accomplish the same results.

[@OVRBoosted]

P.S yes, a trans cooler is a great investment. The trans is the weak link on the cars drive train. I know many who have added the cooler and are very happy. It will bring longevity to your transmission as long as you’re not launching the car all the time.

[@Robert-dm1sj]

@@OVRBoostedyour lap3 tcu tune still performs better with manual shifting? I have Jb4 and bolt ons. Was debating on a tcu tune next, but if paddle shifting gets the job done doesn’t sound like it’s worth it.

[@OVRBoosted]

@@Robert-dm1sj I do like the response on the paddles with the tcu. It does seem a rich crisper and quicker then stock.

[@user-dv9zg6qf2z]

​@@OVRBoostedHello. It is impossible to remove the primary coils ...... The turbines break down and drive the oil. They need back pressure, which is created by the primary cuttings, since they do not have stubborn podshibnikov.

Add the BMS CPI and its stupid. Then upgrade to lap3

[@abtruther4741]

Just got a stinger, wanting to know if i add a jb4, intakes(already done), and and X pipe , would i be pushing atleast 400-415WHP? Just to note, ill only be on map 2 93 octane. no fuel mixes

[@OVRBoosted]

I’d have to say yes to that, I believe some have put that combo on the dyno and seen around 400 to the wheels. If you as e85 and go to map 3 or 4 you’re definitely over 400. My guess depending on altitude is 430-450hp.

[@limejello5171]

Quick question, how bad is the fuel economy when running maps 2-4?

[@OVRBoosted]

I’m not to sure on that. I guess it’s depending on how hard you are on the throttle.

What size and offset are those wheels? they are pretty sweet.

Those are 20x10.5 in the rear +45 offset and 20x9 fronts with a +32 offset.

Just wondering if you’ll be getting the EK1? I recently got WMI (i have pretty much all the other bolt ons plus the JB4) and Terry at BMS suggested the EK1 for its full potential.

[@flightman7594]

Quick question. What power increase can you expect on map 2 would it be around 4.2 to 60 on map 2? Also what else needs to be done to the car to go to map 3 or map 4 or can you run map 3 or 4 with just upgraded plugs

[@OVRBoosted]

Do map 2 on 93 Oct I’d say at least a solid 50+ hp. Map 3-4 all you need to do is mix in some e85. I’d suggest around 5 gallons of e85 and the rest 91-93 octane. Upgraded plugs is really the only critical thing. An oil catch can is just for preventative maintenance and cold air intakes sound good and might increase the airflow a touch an exhaust would help slightly as well. I think low 4 second 0-60 is realistic on map 2, however the 0-60 time really boils down to your launch.

[@flightman7594]

@@OVRBoosted Awesome thank you! One last question for you. I hear a lot about people sending in logs to burgermotor sports do you recommended sending in the information to them so they can review? By me sending in log info what does that accomplish? to make sure the psi and everything is good?

[@OVRBoosted]

@@flightman7594 you can just email a log in right off the app. I do it from time to time to make sure all looks good. I was running a 2 step colder plug, so I wanted them to look at a log of a few pulls. They are way better at reading the data then I am. Some people send logs when they are having issues like over boost, misfires and such. I’d only send them a log if something feels off to you with the car. If it’s running good I personally wouldn’t worry about it.
