boost control/ boost by gear questions
Posted: Wed Oct 01, 2008 3:14 am
my goal is to use the boost by gear. I am looking for the same boost pressure in 1st, 2nd, 3rd then increasing the boost for 4th then 5th. I would want 15lbs, 15lbs, 15lbs, 20lbs, 25lbs.
I am going to try the s300 boost control on the dyno. I have the hondata solenoid. It is normally closed. so I will check the box "maximum boost at 100% duty/ normally closed" right?
I will take a base run and record the boost then check "fixed duty cycle" and set to 0, then take another pull.
from there I will increase the duty cycle and record the boost. am I on the right track?
question. solenoid activation pressure, I assume that is when the solenoid starts working? when should I be activating the solenoid? just thinking about it, shouldn't I want the solenoid activating at 1 psi?
question. pressure vs duty cycle. the pre-set settings. the first column says: pressure 135.0, duty % 25.0. I understand 25.0 is the duty cycle percentage, what is 135.0 represent? I guess I dont know how I will obtain the info to fill the 8 columns there. do I take dyno passes in the listed duty cycles and replace the pressure with the boost pressure I achieve? is that not psi units? I am lost with that section.
question. low / high boost. is that the section used for switching between 2 boost tables. I read you could do a pump gas / race gas. is that where this is done? if I only want to use 1 table, which would I enter my desired boost levels in? which is the default. low or high.
Thanks.
