Burger Motorsports JB4 high performance tuner for Genesis vehicles

[Sal Collaziano]

sooooooo has anyone bought one for their G70 and tested it out??

There are SO few G70 owners at this point. And only a SMALL percentage of owners will ever tune their cars. The answer is: no. Not yet.

Yeah...but a ton own them in Canada. So perhaps some Canadians have tuned.

 

[cars2see]

well lets hope some of those who own them in Canada have tried this and will soon tell us their results

If you want to know early results for the G70..... just go look at the Stinger owners results..


0-60 I think will be tough to really see some mind blowing number UNLESS you are really skilled at launching, Just a guess.......
The at-speed acceleration is where the most significant will be I think....but this dude here, in a Stinger, is showing right around 4 sec..... but I actually calculated a little less.. looks like high 3 second range. He's on map 2.

Dear Lord...so the G70 would be a sub-4 second car. Creeping close to the Alfa Gulia Q

Yes. And keep in mind the Stinger is heavier - and I hear the G70 is tuned for a little more power to begin with. So the G70 will be faster...

Are there still no dyno sheets for it on the 2.0 yet?

 

[Terry @ BMS]

Sorry, no. Several 2L customers with great feedback. But no dynos yet.

 

[NLJ]

Sorry, no. Several 2L customers with great feedback. But no dynos yet.

What is the average power increase on the 2.0T?

 

[Spanky61]

Sorry, no. Several 2L customers with great feedback. But no dynos yet.

You guys ever going to do a piggy back tuner for the 2017-18 5.0??

Which platform is that?

 

[MG8]

this is impressive!

 

[MG8]

can they do something this insane for a 12-14 genesis sedan rspec sheesh!

 

[Toddasaurus]

Which platform is that?

G90 and G80 both available with the 5.0 V8 in the US.

Not platforms we've looked at, sorry!

As Todd stated. Too bad I think you're missing some possible sales here. No one else has attempted to do anything either. Curiosity, why not?

 

[Beefer]

NA cars are hardly tunable. Turbo/supercharged huge benefits.

Get an exhaust.

It's got to be a tiny market. Tuning is not what the demographic who buys these two cars are interested in.

Gentleman, I must disagree and I'd like to hear what Terry from BMS has to say being an actual producer of the product in question. Maybe it's time for BMS to take a serious look at them.

Demographics or not, there are those who are interested and waiting. Tuning is not built around sport sedans or sports oriented vehicles alone. Naturally aspirated engines especially FI engines also benefit from precision tuning. There may not be the same increases you'll find in a turbocharged vehicle, however none-the-less, they also benefit from more dynamic software parameters. There is always more power to be gleaned from tuning a particular engine platform.

All you have to do is look at the 4.6 Gen 1and 5.0 Gen 2. from BTR and posting on this website alone. There are many parameters to adjust and they provide a completely new OEM ECU also. Piggy backs are much easier to manufacture and tune, as they modify OEM signal parameters after the ECU.

BTR 2012-14 ECU + TCU Tune for Genesis Sedan (BH) 5.0 GDi (8spd)

Such tuning has been around for sometime for both N/A and Turbocharged engines. I've done both in the past. There are all types of flash tunes and Piggyback tuners available for Chevrolet, Ford, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche and others both N/A and Turbocharged.

Exhausts are fine but you need to get the air in to get more out. So benefits are to be had in increasing A/F ratios, larger throttle bodies, intakes etc. Just like in any engine, despite being naturally aspirated or turbocharged.

My apologies to Sal and others here, I don't mean to derail this thread. I've PM'ed Terry once before without any answer, so I though a more direct approach would be beneficial

Terry is busy working on the 3.3T tune...leave him be. LOL.
