Unleash Your 2013 Ford Taurus SHO’s Potential with Bluetooth OBD2 Tuning

For Ford Taurus SHO owners seeking a significant performance boost without the complexities of traditional ECU flashing, the JB4 tuner emerges as a leading solution. This plug-and-play system delivers impressive power gains, and with its Bluetooth OBD2 connectivity, tuning your 2013 Taurus SHO has never been more accessible.

The JB4 tuner distinguishes itself by seamlessly integrating with your vehicle’s existing engine control unit (ECU). Unlike flash remaps that permanently alter your ECU, the JB4 module intercepts and optimizes signals from key engine sensors. This sophisticated approach allows for real-time adjustments to boost levels, timing, and fueling, resulting in substantial horsepower and torque increases while minimizing turbo lag. Importantly, this is achieved without leaving a footprint on your factory ECU, offering a discreet and easily reversible performance upgrade. During normal driving conditions, fuel economy remains unaffected, and the JB4 is fully compatible with all of your Taurus SHO’s driving modes, including towing.

What truly sets the JB4 apart is its advanced CANbus integration. This technology allows the tuner to directly access and interpret critical engine data from the ECU. Parameters such as pedal position, throttle input, timing advance, air-fuel ratios, knock detection, and more are monitored in real-time. This comprehensive data acquisition enables the JB4 to make precise, dynamic tuning adjustments, far surpassing the capabilities of less sophisticated tuners lacking CANbus functionality. The result is not just raw power, but also refined power delivery and optimized engine performance across the board.

The JB4 system is pre-loaded with multiple performance maps designed for various fuel octanes, including maps for 91 octane, 93 octane, and even specialized maps for E85 mixtures and race fuel. For customized driving experiences, the JB4 also offers boost-by-gear settings, enhancing launch control and traction. Furthermore, the system empowers users to read and clear diagnostic fault codes directly, adding a layer of vehicle health monitoring. Proudly made in the USA, the JB4 is backed by a 5-year warranty, underscoring its quality and reliability.

For those seeking ultimate control and convenience, the JB4’s Bluetooth OBD2 connectivity is a game-changer. By pairing the JB4 with the JB4 Mobile app on your Bluetooth 4.0 compatible iOS or Android device, or connecting to a Windows laptop via the BMS data cable, a world of tuning customization opens up. Users can effortlessly monitor and log over 40 different engine parameters in real-time, switch between performance maps on the fly, and even update the JB4 firmware to access the latest enhancements, map improvements, and new features released by BMS. (Please note that the JB4 Mobile app is sold separately).
