Does anyone have a jhm stage 2 tune with just a test pipe only?

1. Don't think you can get stage 2 yet.
2. Stage 2 has required hardware, I believe full exhaust is one
3. Don't get stage 2 without required hardware. Derp.

Stage 2 says turboback exhaust is all they require, that's why I was asking if anyone has done it with just a test pipe

Theres 91 stage 2 without upgraded hpfp just exhaust and 91 stage 2 with hpfp

I talked about this with Jake and he recommended that you have a full exhaust that is at least 2.5".

Top end is much stronger on stage 2, on stage 1 the power dies at 80mph stage 2 will continuously pull harder.

It will help prevent your pump from going out faster.

It's not required. I'm stage 2 without it. I don't know the difference in power and stats but if you have the upgrades then get the stage 2 software. It's the same price anyways. No need on skimping out of you paid for it.

We had a ton of requests for a 91 HPFP file, so we have one in the works! It will be released about the same time as 93 Stage 2 HPFP

Ok so JHM sells this:

https://jhmotorsports.com/shop/catalog/exhaust-downpipe-jhm-to-25-for-b6-b7-s4-cat-back-on-b7-a4-20t-manual-cvt-p-1946.html?cPath=21_62_65_255

I always assumed a true catback was replacing everything after the cat (including mufflers and to the tips). This appears to end before the mufflers. Does that mean I can still use my stock mufflers and tips, and along with my RAI DP/HFC, still get the benefit of a full turboback exhaust system?

You need to pick up a b6/b7 s4 cat back to mate to that.

What about a system that replaces everything after the cat (ie. what a true catback should be)?

Best cost option would be to go to a muffler shop, chop your exhaust off, and do custom piping to magnaflow mufflers. Unless you just find a cheap used s4 exhaust.

I'm running a stock airbox with K&N panel filter, HFC, Milltek cat-back exhaust, and Stage 2 HM tune. I think the "learning" portion of the software has made my car a dud. Seriously, I was at a light yesterday morning next to a Ford Fiesta (few years old at most) and I BARELY edged him out. Seriously, we got up to 80mph before he quit/backed off/ran out of power and I was only a fender in front. Jake... we need to chat about this ASAP. Would have called today but it was a crazy day at work.

I'll race ya. I only got a stage 1 APR, and I notice big difference btw stage 1 and stock in my car, so something's up with your tune.

Because I hit 90mph, yes... barely. I am also in an Avant, so I am heavier than the sedan.. but DAMN that was sickening.

I know the Focus ST is fast, my manager owns one... I wouldn't even think about racing one of them. I was going to hold out for the new Focus RS but $40k was just too much... I'd rather drop $6k on a used 1000cc sportbike and crush it.

Anyway....

When I first got the tune, it felt beastly. I do drive rather sedate because of school zones, police, and not trying to being a Ken Block 24/7. With the "adaptation" ability of the software, could it have mellowed itself?

Naw, it wouldn't do that. The only time it would neuter itself is if something is wrong and it is protecting itself.

You should be faster than a st. Stock they run 14.2 in the 1/4. Base maestro tune is on the same level as a st so a stage 2 Jhm is faster. I have ran a stock st before and we were the same. He did get the jump on me though.

It will help prevent your pump from going out faster.

I think you mean it will make your HPFP follower wear out in 1/4 the time.

Jake@JHM
08-10-2015, 09:27 AM

Not really. Our spring is only marginally stiffer than stock. However, he is absolutely correct. Our HPFP Upgrade reduced the duty cycle on the solenoid by a lot, thus it is not working as hard and it will last longer.

In that cause, our is an absolute steal for the price. the piston diameter is larger than APRs so it has the ability to pump more fuel and drop the duty cycle on the solenoid even further.

If you like fuel in your crank case JHM is for you otherwise go with an actually engineered product. JHMs kit does not change the seal on the pump and with the stepped piston design this is a big no no. APR and IE both have pumps that change the seal and have a constant diameter piston and the HPFPupgrade pump changes the seal and sticks with the stepped piston design.

I have run a couple pumps. The first was KMD same style as JHM no seal change never had any issues per say however my crankcase smelled of gas and when I installed it I purchased a brand new OEM HPFP to install the internals into. I switched to HPFPupgrade within a year of owning the KMD and the fuel smell disappeared. If the IE pump had been out when I switched I would have picked that up over anything else.

That's interesting,

None of shop 2.0T cars have that issue. I am glad to see you resolved your issue.

However you can't say that our pump isn't engineered, just because it is different than another product on the market.


The OEM seal is very good to be honest. However, anyone can have a seal fail even on a stock pump. The only way you had fuel in your crank case is if you seal failed or it was damaged during the installation of the pump.

It's not a big nono, otherwise everyone would be having big failures on the stock pumps/seals and they are not. If you damage your seal on install obviously that's not good, so don't damage it.

Sure if you want to over engineer a pump and make it heavier go for it. Doesn't mean it is needed.

I just got the HPFP upgrade from you guys a few days ago (and the shirt thanks), I am pretty disappointed it doesn't include a replacement O ring to change out when doing the swap. I get that they are cheap and not extremely necessary to swap out when doing the upgrade, but its a small oversight and I have to find one now. Unless of course everyone else is talking about a different seal...

Different seal. However, it states on our product page what is included in the kit.


Yea I saw but still ordered, I'm just looking for the O ring online and can't find one. Do you guys offer one?

I think we have them. Rarely even offer them because ever CF or HPFP job we do the stock o rings is in good shape.

Interested to see what my cam follower looks like after 15k tuned. 75k stock looked fine compared to what ive seen on here.

Tune vs non tuned will make zero different on a cam follower. Simply because it doesn't change how fast the cam is spinning.

However, one could argue that you spend more time in the higher RPM range once tuned though.

Truth to what?

It's not a big nono, otherwise everyone would be having big failures on the stock pumps/seals and they are not. If you damage your seal on install obviously that's not good, so don't damage it.

Sure if you want to over engineer a pump and make it heavier go for it. Doesn't mean it is needed.
I've been on my JHM hpfp for over a month without a single issue.

You can get a loba hpfp. Capable of flowing 10% more volume than an Apr, German made, and cheaper. No idea about the seal on it but I doubt if it's required it was overlooked.

I [drive] my original APR HPFP for 2.5 years & 65k miles [up]. Only issue was that I failed[down] to [wrench] the cam follower every 20k for safe measure[facepalm]....

Don't bother with the k04. $$$ out the window. Unless you're set on spending, the cash I'll PM you my PP.

I am not sure how large of a turbo I can go without having to rebuild my tranny, and of course, being autotragic, I have limitations to how large I can go =[

Not yet. I forgot who told me that stock HPFP is good enough for stage 2. I'm not tracking my car, just yet [:D], but planning on enjoying Stage 2 first then save up for JHM's Stage 3 kit. Their kit comes with upgraded everything....

baby steps for me [:)]

Got it. I guess I'll enjoy 91 Stage 2 for now until I'm ready ($$$) for the "next" step [emoji41]

Thanks!

Sorry that wasn't very clear, the hpfp and exhaust are required, the others are recommended

What plugs and what gap? Is 2+ from Uni for a K04?

Drop your plug gap down to .028 if they aren’t already. When I went K04 I skipped that step and they were open to .040. Too much boost was blowing out the spark.

Start there
