Advanced Features and Unmatched Benefits of the JB4 for Your Kia Stinger
What sets the JB4 apart is its comprehensive CANbus system, offering programmable features, firmware upgradability, and data logging capabilities. This CANbus integration allows the JB4 to dynamically adjust performance mapping based on a multitude of real-time parameters including pedal input, throttle position, gear selection, engine speed, air/fuel ratio, fuel trims, ignition advance, and knock. Furthermore, the JB4 can read and clear diagnostic fault codes and incorporates critical safety features. These include limiting boost pressure until optimal oil and water temperatures are reached for proper engine and turbo lubrication, and automatically reducing to a low boost map if the system detects engine overheating, lean running conditions, excessive knock, or over-boosting.
The JB4 delivers significantly more performance, functionality, and safety compared to standard performance chips available on the market. Out of the box, Map 1 on the JB4 provides a 4psi increase over stock peak boost, and users can switch between various tuned maps, including stock and valet modes, on-the-fly using a BMS diagnostics cable or the JB4 mobile smartphone adapter.
Installation is designed to be discreet and easily reversible, leaving no trace upon removal. The JB4 includes pre-configured maps for 91 octane, 93 octane, and E85 fuel blends, ensuring compatibility with different fuel types. Importantly, fuel economy remains consistent during normal driving conditions, and the system is compatible with all factory driving modes.
It’s well-known that Kia and Hyundai engines, including the Stinger, can experience spark blowout, especially when boosting beyond stock levels. To mitigate this, it’s recommended to reduce the factory spark plug gap to 0.026″ or upgrade to high-performance spark plugs that offer a stronger spark and improved reliability compared to the factory plugs.

For advanced control and monitoring, wirelessly connect the JB4 to your Bluetooth 4.0-enabled iOS or Android device with the JB4 Mobile connect kit, or to your Windows laptop using the BMS data cable. These options allow you to log and analyze vehicle and tuning data, change JB4 performance maps, and update the JB4 firmware with the latest versions, which often include enhanced maps and new features, all provided as free updates. Note that the JB4 Mobile app requires a separate purchase.
The JB4 now comes with the robust BMS billet all-weather enclosure and preinstalled fuel control wires, adding to its durability and ease of installation.
