Where's All The Dinan Sport Reviews
$230 for 40 HP and 50 TQ from a 20 minute install I thought I'd find lots of reviews, but nada.
Am I missing something? https://www.dinancars.com/products/s...arts/D440-0047 |

It's basically a JB+ with bluetooth control. If you only have access to 91 octane I would probably go for Dinantronics X or JB4. Personally experienced a lot of jerkiness with the single sensor versions. Might be better on 93 or E30.

I think it was AutoID that had a JB4 on their M240 and took it off, saying it was not very smooth. What is it with the piggyback tuners that cause jerkiness?

Did they? I saw Jack and Nathan both race it on OG (Nathan most recently about 6 weeks ago), and the JB4 was still on it then. They hit 0-60mph in 3.02s and the 1/4 in 11.347s @ 121.36mph in that last race. That was sans DP, just JB4, intake and CB exhaust.

You need to invest in more advanced piggybacks if you want a smoother power delivery.

When you say "smoother power delivery", does that mean the Dinan Sport and JB+ are erratic with a loss of OEM smoothness?

In some cases, if the OEM boost is high, the total PSI becomes too aggressive. Your DME will protect your engine by reducing timing, which results in less power and more jerky power delivery.

I like
I got one, albeit for my 230. Of course, it is the same box. I don't experience jerkiness and there's a clear power increase. However, the power boost is all related to getting the turbo spooled up first where this thing has any effect.
For those who don't know, all it does is trick the computer that boost is lower, so the engine adds boost. There are just the two leads you have to "interrupt." I will likely upgrade later, but it is cheap, works well, and no [known] issues (famous last words, right?). I do recommend this device for any G42 driver. |

I spoke to Jack at AutoID last week, they're currently running the Jb4 on Map 5 with catless DP and eventuri intake with no issues.
Unless your looking to run the adaptive maps within JB4 or run logs there's no advantage in terms of smoothness having a JB4 over the JB+. |

My current B58 is staying stock. I love how well the power delivery is tuned from factory. |

Regarding the JB4 the division of Maps 2/3 vs. Maps 4/5 is crazy. I've read where people say only run 4 or 5 on the new B58 (after verifying logs with BMS), and others say only Map 2 would run properly, even after working with BMS extensively on Map 4 or 5 logs.

These cars run high boost, and data logging is a must, in my opinion, to see which map works for your car best. If the customer does not wish to datalog or owns a tuner that does not have this feature, I recommend going the safer route. The extra 5-10 is not worth it, in my opinion.

Its safe to run other piggybacks, but don't use their most aggressive maps. Keep the boost at + 3PSI, and you should be good.

I'm not too sure, you'll need to check with BMS directly
