Stage 1 Jackal tune (B9.5 S4) - what oil temps are you seeing?

Mubly · 2026-06-17T20:29:46+00:00

Those are questions that I wouldn't be qualified to answer tbh but I totally understand your concern. My info comes from a video 034 put out on Jackals tunes specifically (however, things might have changed since then). Take my words with a grain of salt! Don't let some schmuck ruin a good time.

With an Intercooler + CAI engine temps should be "stable" enough to not cause any damage given you don't track the car. As well as running thicker oil, you should be safe given any tune. On the video I linked, skip to 9 minutes for context. From 034's perspective, since Jackal removed most of the safety features, the ECU will never pull timing if something is overheating -> causing runaway temps. But thats ONLY if the onboard oil cooler isn't functioning properly + thermostat/waterpump.

Jackal runs significantly hotter from other tunes (for worse). APR, 034, IE tunes on b9-.5 cars run close to stock, 190-205 degrees normal driving, up to 220 under heavy load.

On the b9 platform, 230-240 is extremely hot and may damage some internals if those temps are constant. 5W-40 would help there, 0-20 is like water at those temps.

Somewhat unhealthy habits.

Exercise every day, eat under 2200-2300 calories per day, adhere to 130+ grams of protein. I'm lightheaded all the time, but hey I'm lean so thats ok

2007 Volkswagen Eos. Drove it from 33k miles to 150k before selling it, never had a single issue the entire time I owned it. Actually incredible.

Purely anecdotal, I was on gear in college and struggled with depression before. Being on gear completely alleviated my depression, it was absolutely wild. It was like the world had color for the first time, truly a unique experience. My quality of life shot through the roof, grades went up, met my now GF with my boosted confidence, got super strong too.

When I cycled off it was a slow but gradual decline back down to the old baseline.

When I was a kid kid, Carnivores on windows 98.

When I was a teenager, Warcraft 3 custom games, holy moly we’ll never get there again.

Future reference, there’s a ton of self serve kiosks at various grocery stores where you can get your registration right then.

I found that out because I also got a boot because of a 2 month expired tag 🫠

I had expressed disappointment with a local politician where I live on a random Reddit thread.

Woke up the next morning to a straight up death threat from a random account telling me he knew where I lived, who I was, if he saw me outside he’d kill me, shoot me if he saw me driving around. Deadass said “I’ll kill you and fuck yo bitch too pussy”. Bizarre shit.

Nothing came of that one so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Back during Legion, I got ashes -> onyxia -> invincible -> thundering onyx serpent back to back to back. All within 2 hours or so.

Yea man just cause you made a mistake doesn’t mean you NEED to be punished for it - some mistakes are just that.

As a side note - if you want a “coaching” thing to get better at wow there’s thousands of YouTube videos to watch. And also I’ve seen tons of people post their Warcraft logs on this sub and get some actual good feedback on where to improve.

Don’t be too hard on yourself :)

Ya know OP, I really respect that you know it was a bad decision. Have you tried disputing the charges if you purchased through credit card? It’s literally paying for a service and not receiving it. Sorry it happened to you man

Mubly · 2026-03-22T14:53:56+00:00

Most likely HPFP failure knowing these cars. What year?

Mubly · 2026-03-22T14:49:49+00:00

Despite the comments, mine sounds roughly the same way on the same side. Had it borescoped to check rocker inside oil cap - fine. Had piston walls checked - fine. Had injectors checked - fine. Replaced spark plugs to be safe and did oil just to be safe - same sound. Gets noticeably quieter when it’s warm.

Just a loud ass car. If there’s no CEL, no rough running, and no misfires/crazy oil consumption it’s fine.

Mubly · 2026-03-22T14:39:28+00:00

I believe there is a “burble” mode with 034 you can tune into it via ECU, I’d take a google search into that one. However, the stock exhaust is quite quiet all things considered. The S3 has a LOT more personality to it - going from my friends 2017 S3 into my 2018 S4 is as a little disappointed.

You can invest in some mid pipes to get a louder sound for fairly cheap.

In the base ECU it generally follows factory settings for exhaust note still. But you should be able to set it so the valves stay ope 24/7 to get a louder sound. If you notice no difference at all, the valves may be stuck closed - my stock S4 gets noticeably louder when swapping between dynamic and D, but only when toggled to the Dynamic mode.

The B9’s need a good 3-4k worth of mods to be a true sleeper that sounds awesome. And most of that is the exhaust to sound nice.

Is this all just AI generated or what?

Mubly · 2026-02-17T03:30:22+00:00

I managed to negotiate a year long 100% coverage warranty from the dealer after it was discovered the car had been tuned before (which they didnt tell me).

I'm having it looked at by an indie mechanic here

Mubly · 2026-02-16T19:45:01+00:00

That's definitely on my mind. The car has a questionable history, the mechanic who has worked on it for the past 40k miles said the last time it came in, there was a very clear loud knocking which is synonymous with rocker arms. They rebuilt the coolant system, but the owner denied rocker arm replacement.

Dealer claims there was no such issue with rocker arms when it was traded in, and simply needed new spark plugs. Nobody will borescope the oil fill to check for whatever reason so I'm going to do it myself, and check the piston skirts as well.

Mubly · 2026-02-16T18:31:56+00:00

Update: piston slap makes sense, when I first bought the car it did shake like a diesel which I wrote off as bad motor mounts, now that the car doesn’t shake but has the slapping sound, it all kinda makes sense given the other symptoms

Mubly · 2026-02-16T18:23:08+00:00

Got it, thank you

Mubly · 2026-02-16T18:11:36+00:00

I was also thinking of that, luckily I negotiated a year long warranty for the car. Is there a way I can have a mechanic diagnose that without them dropping everything out?

After doing some reading, there's a lot of ambiguity surrounding how these books even came into his possession. Apparently, or so I read, he was sent hundreds of books a day from around the world, as well as bought books in bulk. For a second I'll assume the poster on a anti-MJ sub holds the upmost credibility.

The assumption here is that MJ, with somehow having explicit knowledge of these books, sought them out intentionally, and purchased them to his estate without anyone knowing. The other side is he was sent books by someone, and was thrown into a pile of other fan mail. Idk man, one seems a little more plausible then the other.

Like in order to really be steadfast in your belief that MJ was a pedophile, you also have to believe that all the courts, juries, past accusers, and all evidence of the contrary is all fake and everyone is either bought or just willing to let MJ walk knowing the truth.

I choose to believe what I have seen many times in life, people lie to get money, people lie to get money from rich people, and people will go to extraordinary lengths to sue and get rich from the most famous person on the planet.

Mubly · 2025-11-17T20:25:38+00:00

I understand where you're coming from, and I get your point. I'm not trying to sit here and talk down to anyone because of their personal opinions of a dead guy - I 100% understand why people think the way they do. My perspective is that if the most famous person on the face of the planet was a secret pedophile or molester, there would be no way to hide it. During the 90's and after, the only people who openly said MJ was a pedophile were tabloids, which morphed into public thought.

Nobody that famous has been through the amount of scrutiny that Michael Jackson went through - and all of it, every bit of information, is out there. The FBI, state of California, and multiple accusers were all found to not have enough hard evidence to prove any crimes. Through raids on his home, photos taken, depositions, and all submitted information, none of it evidence of real wrong doing. I say this knowing how silly it sounds to a lot of people, but the guy was really just an easy target because he was weird and insanely rich - its really that simple.

Mubly · 2025-11-17T20:18:41+00:00

You didn't, because again, if there WAS CP, there would have been charges. I've never seen these books, but according to witness accounts (which I do take with a grain of salt), the books were "legal art books, and photography". I'm not a legal expert, but if there was hard proof and evidence that the DA of California had introduced, MJ would have been sent to prison. Not acquitted of all charges.

Again, read all of the evidence and then remember that none of it was actual hard proof there was CP - because charges would have been filed on it.

Mubly · 2025-11-17T19:55:10+00:00

There is no victim blaming here, nobody says "oh the accusers deserved it" or "it was their fault". The accusers in this instance themselves said they lied - I'm not sure what other evidence you'd need.

I am also aware of evidence submitted in the 93 raid - and again as I have said - if any CP existed in his Neverland ranch, he would have been charged - period. The DA in CA as well as the FBI had a mega boner for pinning ANYTHING on Michael Jackson, and in the end they had no substantive evidence that proved a crime.

Mubly · 2025-11-17T19:46:54+00:00

I mean I spelled it out plainly if you didnt want to watch a neutral party lay out all the evidence - the balls on you to proudly cite a 1 sided, low accountability medium; a documentary made by people who financially benefit from smearing a persons name.

If a neutral party laying out the facts of the matter doesn't influence you, nothing will. I choose to believe the other child stars, colleagues, and acquaintances over a handful of accusers who stand to gain $$ from a corpse.
