Does it capture AFR and Knock?

Map 2, car feels great. I don't beat or abuse my car. I just like the power. So far the JB4 is a great bang for the buck. The app works great changing maps on the fly and gauges to monitor things. Data logging and CEL reading/clearing.

Just cuz it's an option there doesn't mean it actually reads it. Obviously no ign5 or ign6 on your 4 cylinder. For knock you could watch the avg ign and see if it pulls timing but I doubt you can focus on it enough real time you'd have to look at the logs after I'd guess. (Don't own a ctr but had a n54/jb4 for a while)

Hey, I've officially become a JB4 user!! I've tried Map 1 and Map 2 so far, and since my car is stock, i guess i would just stick with Map 2. The car does seem to be more responsive. And, yes, the unit is super easy to install - amazing!!
Another thing I am playing with right now is to replay the logged data - again - the mobile app makes it super easy and convenient!!

All in all, I love it and I will need to zip tie the wires so they won't be dangling in the engine bay. It seems the best place to put the box is right by the ECU box, and I can't really zip tie it there, any creative way you guys are using have it secured better in there?

i have zip tied a couple places and wrap one end of the box with foil paper to prevent any water intrusion. I love this little power mod!!

btw, the "gear" always shows 0 throughout all my logs - is that normal? anyone else able to log their gear?

How does the power feel? Noticeable difference?

yes, the car seems to pick up faster. i have not got a good chance to give it a wot, but i do really like the mobile app that shows and log all live data, and the ability to read codes too

According to BMS, 93+ is for Map 3. I am had an intake on my car when I installed my JB4, I now have a cat back exhaust.
