jakeep82 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) Any one else run these boost controllers ? mine was working fine and now wont build boost when its meant too i hit like 1 bar then it slows right off , makes my car feel slow just looked on the blitz site and its got the settings set up there do they seem right or not ? http://www.blitzpowerusa.com/products/sbcid/sbcid.html Ive checked all my vac pipes etc for boost leaks and nothing :/ Edited February 4, 2013 by jakeep82 Quote
AdamB Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Link don't work mate.I had one of these all for about 2 hours, I had the opposite though and wouldn't hold boost, kept overboosting. Turned out the solenoid was fucked. Have you tried removing the EBC from the situation? Just run a pipe from compressor housing to actuator. If you still get the same problem, then it would prob be a vac leak. Quote
jakeep82 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 Good thinking mate , just been reading up on other forums and think my gain is set to high , i dont know when it comes to boost controller's its all jibberish haha Quote
AdamB Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) The blitz gear is represented as a percentage of maximum turbo output.Been around a year or so since I fiddled with it so bare with me lol. Using the right dial, allows you to adjust the desired boost pressure, remember this is represented as a percentage. Start off with something like 20, with gain at 0. See what your boost gauge goes to, if it goes to say 0.5 bar and you want to run 1 bar, increase this percentage to 40 and repeat the test. When you have the boost set on what you want then you can adjust the gain. The gain adjustment comes up when you see in the corner of the controller 1,2,3,4. Again start the gain off low, the idea here is to have the highest gain possible without overboosting. Increase the gain till your desired boost pressure just creeps slightly, then reduce the gain a few points. This ensures that your maximum boost is built up as fast as possible but without overboosting. Heres the manual mate, page 9 & 12 is the one your after.http://www.blitzpowerusa.com/techsupport/pdf/dualsbc_specs-r.pdf Edited February 4, 2013 by AdamB Quote
jakeep82 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 so fiddling with the actual boost pressure wont make it go up and down ? like ive got mine set to 1.2 bar ? its the actual gain and set what make it go up and down :/ thought these things were meant for an easy life to change boost level's with switch of a button lol ill see how i get on with that mate Quote
jakeep82 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 i dont have a percentage :/ i have this one ? allthough i do have a spare ebc here http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1280&bih=709&q=blitz+dual+sbc+id&oq=blitz+dual+sbc+id&gs_l=img.3...945.3805.0.4011.17.12.0.5.5.0.166.1108.6j6.12.0...0.0...1ac.1.2.img.j5lnnzxV90o#imgrc=XRQl97txtE923M%3A%3BjvbBg14woi-yaM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fi.ebayimg.com%252Ft%252FBLITZ-DUAL-SBC-ID-SPEC-R-ELECTRONIC-BOOST-CONTROLLER-turbo-sequential-%252F00%252Fs%252FMTIwMFgxNjAw%252F%2524(KGrHqR%252C!pQFBW7(RnWPBQhq-%252CK04w~~60_35.JPG%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.ebay.co.uk%252Fitm%252FBLITZ-DUAL-SBC-ID-SPEC-R-ELECTRONIC-BOOST-CONTROLLER-turbo-sequential-%252F190744184558%3B300%3B225 Quote
AdamB Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 If your running an actuator you can still adjust the base boost pressure with this, but remember that the EBC can only increase on the base pressure, it can't go lower than it.If its externally gated you will have to swap springs. Adjusting the boost pressure is done by turning the right dial. But this doesn't give a boost pressure, so it doesn't give 1 bar, it gives a percentage. Its the same controller mate, just a different dash display, setup is exactly the same. Quote
jakeep82 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 ok then im using external wastegate bud .7 bar spring , my ebc does get to 1.2 bar in the end its just it slows off :/ ill take a pic of my settings on my ebc and post them up now Quote
AdamB Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) Ok mate cool.If I remember you have to hold one of the buttons for 3 seconds and this will flash up the gain setting.Just another thing, make sure the controller is set to WG rather than AC if using an external gate How many boost settings do you have programmed? You may have accidently knocked it onto a different setting. Edited February 4, 2013 by AdamB Quote
jakeep82 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 There you go bud ive always used ch1 and just made sure its still on ch1 Quote
AdamB Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Looks ok to me mate. You could try adjusting the gain but if its only started doing this recently I doubt it would have anything to do with it. Quote
jakeep82 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 try dropping the gain down ? few people on other forums runnning 5-15 gain ? Quote
AdamB Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 I thought you run the highest amount of gain possible. Lowering it only makes it more laggy from what I've seen. I would go back over the vac/intercooler pipes mate. Quote
jakeep82 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 oh does it ? see im clueless on this lol ill check over vac pipes and intercooler pipes then , fucking cars !! Quote
AdamB Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Let us know how you get on mate, and try disconnecting the EBC from the equation as it then rules it out of your problem.Just had another thought, how old is the controller? I've heard that because this type don't come with any filters sometimes the solenoid can pay up, might be worth spraying some WD40 in the ports. Quote
jakeep82 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 checked all the vac pipes again and there all fine tightened up the intercooler clamps , one broke so just had get another one , ive had the car a little over a year mate but think the boost controller has been on a few years spray wd 40 in the actual solenoid ports? might try just running it on wastegate spring like you said Quote
AdamB Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Try running it on the wastegate spring first mate see if that improves anything Quote
jakeep82 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 ok then thats just a pipe straight from compressor housing to bottom valve of the ewg aint it ? Quote
AdamB Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 What brand of ex gate is it? The tial one you just supply a feed into the side and leave the top port open to atmosphere. Quote
jakeep82 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 mines a turbosmart one , it doesnt have one at the top just one above another Quote
AdamB Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) Not sure on the turbosmart ones tbh mate, prob be a diargram floating around the net somewhere. Edit :Connect the bottom port to the turbo and leave the top port to vent to atmosphere.http://www.turbosmart.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/WG_Ultragate38.pdfLittle over half way down the page Edited February 4, 2013 by AdamB Quote
jakeep82 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 ill have a gander about it will still read on my ebc what im boosting wont it Quote
jakeep82 Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 yes thanks to you john i have boost back, happy days Quote
