JB+ Install on X2

Thought I'd share some pics on installing a JB+ on X2. It's pretty responsive now. I believe the stock engine is OK, but let down by the gearing and programming of the Aisin transmission. It seemed to miss a step now and then.

Only do this when the engine is cold and have the key fob out of the area.
  1. Undo the 10 mm nuts that hold the plastic plenum that directs air from the grill to the air filter box.

  2. It's hard to undo the gray tab that secures the connector by pulling down with your thumbnail. It's hard getting your hand down there at all. Instead, take a flat screwdriver, push on the tab downward along the same axis. Only gentle pressure so you don't stab yourself with the screwdriver.

  3. Install the JB+ in line, push the gray tabs in, make sure they're tight and reinstall plenum.
