Description
Unlock the performance potential of your 2018+ Lexus LS 500 3.5L V6 Twin Turbo with the Burger Motorsports JB4 Performance Tuner. Designed to deliver substantial horsepower and torque improvements without requiring an ECU flash, the JB4 is an advanced plug-and-play engine tuning system that provides enhanced performance, customizable tuning options, and comprehensive vehicle monitoring capabilities.
The JB4 delivers power gains of up to 60 horsepower at the wheels and approximately 75 horsepower at the crankshaft on a completely stock vehicle running pump gasoline. Additional performance modifications, higher-octane fuel, E85 ethanol mixtures, and larger turbochargers can provide even greater power gains.
Featuring an easy-to-install plug-and-play wiring harness, the JB4 connects directly to the vehicle's sensors and engine management system to optimize performance while maintaining smooth factory-like drivability. Its advanced tuning capabilities include on-the-fly map switching, boost control by gear, integrated data logging, fault code reading and clearing, and comprehensive CANbus integration.
The JB4 does not require additional modifications, previous tuning stages, or complicated user setup. It can be installed as the first and only performance modification, making it an excellent option for Lexus LS 500 owners looking to improve acceleration, power delivery, and overall driving performance.
The system includes the JB4PRO Bluetooth adapter and access to the free JB4PRO smartphone application, allowing users to monitor vehicle performance, adjust tuning maps, record engine data, analyze logs, and install firmware updates.

What Is the JB4 Performance Tuner?
The JB4 is a plug-and-play performance tuning system designed for turbocharged vehicles. It installs between the vehicle's engine sensors and the DME/ECU, using these connections to modify engine performance and increase power output.
Although other tuning systems use similar installation methods, the JB4 distinguishes itself through its advanced connection points, processing capabilities, CANbus integration, fuel and spark control, Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, and extensive performance features.
The JB4 uses real-time vehicle data to optimize engine operation and provide improved horsepower, torque, and drivability. Its advanced features allow users to monitor engine parameters, adjust tuning maps, and access performance information without requiring a traditional ECU reflash.
Burger Motorsports regularly develops and releases free mapping and firmware updates, introducing additional performance improvements, new features, and continued system development.
The JB4 is not VIN-locked to a specific vehicle and can be removed and transferred between compatible vehicles or resold.
With more than a decade of development and use worldwide, the JB4 has established itself as a recognized plug-and-play performance tuning solution for turbocharged vehicles.
Is the JB4 a Real Tune?
Yes. The JB4 is a genuine engine performance tuning system that uses vehicle sensor connections and CANbus data to modify engine operating parameters.
By monitoring real-time vehicle information, the JB4 can adjust boost, ignition timing, air-fuel ratios, and fuel trims, providing tuning capabilities comparable in certain respects to an ECU reflash.
The system is designed to deliver significant horsepower and torque improvements while maintaining smooth drivability and retaining factory safety systems.
Unlike a traditional ECU flash, the JB4 operates through its external connections without requiring the vehicle's ECU to be unlocked or directly reflashed.
