CT4 V JB4 Installed but I need a colder Plug???

[2A_Cafe_Tx]

Has anyone found the right plug - colder - for the Ct4 V 2.7L Turbo - Ngk doesn't have anything listed???

Thanks to the guys at Torqqe Performance in Austin Tx, finally tracked down the plugs needed for the 2.7L with JB$ installed - they are a new release from Brisk. No more mis-fires at near red-line and WOT, 93 Oct Map2 - HOOAH!!!

Any videos?

Can you feel a difference with the tune?

Does the tune make a big difference?

I'm sure it makes a difference. There's probably some compromise somewhere (warranty loss, potential reliability issues).

I was thinking about buying a JB4 tuner and I wasn’t sure if you could feel a power difference.

I have one in my Bronco Raptor, tbh not sure I notice much of a difference other than a decrease in gas mileage lol

Yes. I have JB4 in my '23 CT4-V (AWD)and ran a 0-60 in 3.9sec. I do not have colder plugs either- I run e80 fuel and I'm also running the IAT spoof FW that Terry @ BMS has as an Alpha file I should also mention that I"m running a high flow Downpipe too. No issues other than emission efficiency of the downstream O2 sensor but you can clear codes, on the fly, with JB4.

 

[Edawks]

Where did you purchase the high flow down pipe from?

A guy in TX named Ryan Salazar. He’s in the V groups on fb. His prices are beyond absurd but I found one from a guy who never installed it. I think Ryan was asking around $800+ for the dp alone. I scooped mine up, with an intake too for $400. Also- if/when you get tired of JB4 only really making a difference when it’s cool out and DA is perfect and possibly running E30, word on the street is that Tapout is FINALLY testing HPtuners in the 2.7l platform. I’m also guessing that there will be REAL and truly EFFECTIVE tuning options in the market. Obviously with the risk of voiding your powetrain warranty. I’d also imagine that ZZPerformance in MI. Will have intake/exhaust options avail too. Don’t get me wrong w JB4- it does give a bit more power BUT the planets have to align for anything fairly substantial. I also have the IAT spoof FW on mine too. I’ve run a 3.9 0-60 w/ AWD; Certainly not too shabby but I want the power increase available at all times and JB4 just can’t to that. Never liked piggyback tuners either. I had a Trifecta tune on my ‘14 ATS AWD and a dp and it hauled ass.

Thanks for the information. I guess I’ll wait it out until there are more options.

No worries! Glad to help. If your looking for more power and RELIABLE power, a real tune and/or engine mods are the best solutions, IMO. Save your hard earned cash and wait until next summer. Trust me

by any chance do you have more info about those down pipes. i think i messaged the same guy you’re talking about, but he just hasnt replied to me. lol

Hi, Can you explain how you installed the JB4? Specifically the sensor for the intercooler? I'm having a hard time finding a way to access it.

You have to loosen the vacuum plate and slide it out of the way. Its just a few bolts including the ones that hold the solenoids on top in place. There is nothing to it. You cant really get to the connector without doing that.
