Okay I've been searching all night for information on both of these. The J&S site is not very current so that offered no help.

My question are the differences between the two? I can't find any info anywhere saying "This is what version 1 has and this is what version 2 has..." You'd think J&S would have this crap on their page.

version 2 has a map limiter circuit that prevents the ecu from seeing more than 3v from the map sensor in boost. kinda like a missing link thingy. good for turbo if you're not getting hondata/aem ems type standalone

SoulSurfer

Okay thats kind of what I was thinking the main difference was. So if I got a great deal on the Version 1 could I just get a missing link and then it would basically be the same?

falcongsr

i guess so. i dont know anything about missing link. i'd prefer the electronic map limiter, but i guess people use the ML without probs?

SoulSurfer

Well I hope it works...I need to send this guy money today to secure the Ver1 if I want it. It's a V1 with the monitor for $400...That seems worth it to me.

falcongsr

yeah since the dual monitor is like $180 by itself i'd say thats a deal

SoulSurfer

Yea I think I'll pick it up and just get an electronic map limiter. Thanks.

i know a guy who is selling his v1 for $420 shipped. comes with the monitor and audible alert. its in great condition. send me an instant message if youre interested.

SoulSurfer

Thanks but I found it for $400 brand new in this forum.

i wouldnt mind getting a j&s classic and just hooking it up to the knock sensor and have it not even retard timing just have it light up when hearing knock so i can use it to tune my standalone.

the limiter circuit feature described for version 2 - if i'm to get v2, would it still work as well with hondata?

JT

Sure it will work. However, you should disable the map limiter and boost retard functions on the J&S v2 and use the Hondata to handle timing control. Therefore, you better off getting a J&S classic which only has knock control.

hmm... right now i have an option to get v2 used, which is less than classic, but as long as i disable retard funciton and have hondata handle the timing, - i should be alright?

thanks

JT

Yes, just disable the map limiter, boost retard, as well as mid range retard functions and use only the knock retard.

where are the v1s v2s and classics being sold?
