iamlegend Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 fitted the jam ECU today thought great now want to up my boost to 1 bar and its just having none of it even when i put it in the setting in the gizzmo boost controler to up the boost and nothing i have checked everywhere for boost leeks and none also even if i did have a boost leak how is it still boosting to 0.6 bar i belive now its going of the external wastgate spring which is a 7PSI spring?? this has happend ever since i went to race tech i am not blaming them but.....any ideas here geting fed up now like???also to rule out it has the be the gizmo we adjusted the settings right back to the lowest boost and it was still boosting to 0.6bar which we set on the setting 1..

_shaun_ Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 was it boosting higher than 0.6 before it went to race-tech? got a pic of how the ebc is plumbed in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 My first gizzmo ibc was fucked and didnt adjust the boost at all. Contact gizzmo direct, they sorted my out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 My first gizzmo ibc was fucked and didnt adjust the boost at all.

(as you always have been) I.e. you've never had the Gizmo controlling the boost. The peak recall was 0.66 bar. One thing we did do was cable tie loose wiring and reroute it through the grommets in the bulk head rather than at the side as the wiring had already started to rub through. I'd like to bet at piping. We didn't check this as we didn't get that far.was it boosting higher than 0.6 before it went to race-tech? got a pic of how the ebc is plumbed in?No, peak was 0.6. It also had only 15% duty on the PWM, which if anybody is familiar with this type of solenoid would know this wouldn't make any noticable difference to the boost level.

iamlegend Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 here how its set up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky@Race-Tech Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 here how its set upYou cannot see which is going to which ont hat picture. Have you got a picture of the wastegate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I can see that mesh getting swallowed at higher boost Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 i will go out and get a better pic, i spoke to the guy at gizzmo and he said get pressure into the silicone to see if the solinoid is clicking by making it click its actually sending signals now when i put pressure on the solinoid is not clicking so its 99% that!

Sounds like the solenoid isn't working then.From the text message you sent, you do realise the car will always do 0.6 bar, regardless if the boost controller is connected but not working or not connected at all?
