F10 JB4 Settings [ REQUEST ]

Hello everyone,

So since i got my jb4, ive been messing with the settings to fix the bucking feeling im getting and then harsh driving conditions...

When i first installed it.. it would be slow as hell 1-2k rpm sluggish and 2k+ would fly like a rocket....

i messed with the previous user's settings values of wastegate and such and was able to get super smooth driving and low rpm values but lost all of that thurst feel at higher rpms..


can someone post their ideal JB4 settings for a f10 n55 or the default values?

I would appreciate it....

here's mine

I would not recommend playing with these settings without consulting Burger Tuning technical support

On the link on their website they specifically have a screen shot of how f10 settings should differ from other f series but what you're experiencing is the reason i took my jb4 out, just too inconsistent for me i got flash tuned by RKTUNES two weeks ago power delivery much smoother consistent no worries if your on the right map or if loaded or switched correctly

If you do want to stick with jb4 definitely email them they were tons of help and if you log with the app they send it to them and they will reply with recommend tweaks or settings.....but to switch maps and have turn car off locked wAit 5 mins and sometimes it just wasn't there when you stepped on it

Mind linking me to that ? I tried finding it but I cant find the actual settings for PID etc.

I've been messing with the values a little bit and it greatly influences how my trans shifts for some reason.

Ive set PID to 15 and wastegate to 80 thus far and boost reduction to 10.

+1 Well said, I also recommend spending sometime in the n54tech.com forum, posting your logs under the LOGS/Help section and someone will definitely chime in on suggestions.
Also by looking at other F10 535 similarly running well (search button) you can learn some new things.
As said before you shouldn't be running Map6 unless you've worked with an Experienced Tuner and tuned it on Dyno (preferably).
Stick with Map1/2/5

And btw OP, make sure you're running latest PWG firmware as well as it looks like you're in old one.

Do you know how to update your firmware?

Have you posted on n54tech for help?
