🔧 BUILD New whip who dis? Genesis G80 sport

You'd need a full tune. The JB4 is just a fancy boost controller using the OEM calibration. I've had one on my wife's Q7 for 15,000 miles and it's performed great.

I have heard that most of the vehicles with soft leaving aren't helped with the JB4. Probably due to it being a transmission controller and/or stability control issue. But maybe the JB4 will help some.

Some of their vehicles with the same drivelines do have launch control from the factory. But cracking the TCU and stability control may be more than the typical tuners are able to change. A local guy was working on the same issue with the Santa Cruz and custom tuning. But I think they didn't have any success as he hasn't posted anything since he had the custom tune appointment.

I’m not willing to do a full tune on this, not with a warranty that is.


I read some suggestions on launching the sport (No LC) and I have to say it works great, would be better once I can see boost building up. Basically hold brake, roll in to throttle till you feel it making decent boost to about 2200rpm and then full throttle and let off and it seems to move out. Didn’t use the dragy or anything but no bog off the line.

I hear you with the ECU tuing. JB4 is a great option for a warranty. Just limited in capabilities at times.

I do the same with mine. Just don't stay on too long as it has a limit. Either boost cut, based on time, or something. But get it right and it does help a lot. But the Santa Cruz is still slow to apply power through the dual-clutch and builds boost slowly. But brake boosting for a second or so does help over leaving off idle.

jb4... doesn't... violate... warrantys?

It piggy backs off the ecu and plugs in-line with sensors. It would be removed for warranty shit (which looks like a pain) but basically undetectable that it was there

Interesting. I wonder if a jb4 would get rid of that or if it could even be tuned out at all.

I can tune it out on my 535. Stock it only allows 4psi brake boost, now it’ll do 20. I don’t think jb4 can access what a flash tune can to fix that, but could be wrong

 

[Mook]

WELL?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

WELL?

Well…..nothing has been done

Soon-ish. I’ll report back.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Hitch receiver added. Ballin color matched bike rack is in transit!

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

That's nice and discreet! How much clearance is there between the hitch and the lower valance/difuser?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

None

It pushes on it just a touch. I did actually slide it back from where it’s supposed to be to tuck it in more.

[Jimy Bilmo]

That's a sharp vehicle

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

It was freshly cleaned and then I got dust blasted thru the mountains

Do I want these rims for $500? These would be for snow use

Snag those and then throw the CL snows on them

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Can’t decide if they’ll look out of place/weird. Literally cannot find pics of them on a genesis, just genesis wheels on stingers.

Oem wheels tend to be a bit more robust for handling winter duty. $500 for a set of 19" wheels is a good deal. And they'll look fine enough on your car.

Need to tuck and secure wiring a bit better and get some replacement plastic push pin things. Also need to swap plugs still so I’ll be taking it easy till then.


Also fun, cannot get the intake pipes to fit in the turbo inlet hoses. Seems odd the g70 3.3 would be different in that regard.
