Dean_mc88 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I cant find this in the search section so don't shoot me if its been asked before but. Currently running a forged engine , hybrid turbo,fmic etc etc Il be fitting a boost controller with obviously hi/low and a scramble boost controller with an additional settingThis gives me 4 settings to do and at the moment im running 0.8 with the boost controller off . Any suggestions on what boost to set for the other three? Quote
Dean_mc88 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 haha cheers for that was awaiting someone to say something stupid Quote
Corey Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 I dont think its stupid its just a hybrid there is no need to stagger the boost. Quote
Dean_mc88 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 When your running a boost controller with options whats the point running them all the same? Quote
Corey Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Its to get traction which suits big turbos and crazy boost. With something like a hybrid your right foot is the better tool IMO. Quote
Dean_mc88 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 cheers for your comments but il be setting them all a different boosts lol Quote
Corey Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Do you mean bringing in boost at 4 different points until max is reached or setting four different max boost levels? Either way I would still say full boost in all areas with a hybrid lol. Quote
Dean_mc88 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 just different level settings so il run 0.8 with the boost controller off 1.0 on low boost 1.2 on high boost then there is a scramble boost controller that can be pressed and it offers a set boost for a set period of time. Obviously the different boost settings effect fuel efficiency etc so for traveling to work I can just change it Quote
bucketep91 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Are you on full boost on the way to work or something haha? It wont make a hint of difference to your fuel consumption. Quote
Dean_mc88 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Ok , and this is why im asking the question so in reality the boost controller is pointless then if you are going to run full boost constantly Quote
Corey Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) This is why I said full in all settings with your setup dude. Even with it off you wont see any difference in fact you might see a slight increase in consumption as you dart up to the speed limits it'll take greater effort with it off. Some people found they used more fuel on stock type setups in the low setting. Edited March 10, 2014 by Corey Quote
Dean_mc88 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Sound, nice waste of money for the controller then haha Quote
AdamB Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Just run it at max boost, problem if you was to run lower, the engine would then run richer because its not getting the same volume of air as it would at max boost setting. Quote
Dean_mc88 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Cheers Adam that makes more sense but I'm running a jam ecu shouldn't that control the fuel regardless if I lower or higher the boost ? Quote
AdamB Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 All ecu's are only programmed to operate within a certain range mate, I guess with a p&p ecu you would have to go through the whole learning procedure again. Quote
Dean_mc88 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Ah right I see now so by lowering it or increasing it , it would take the usual few miles to learn what's going on so it's pointless to change from one setting to the next while driving ! Makes more sense now cheers for that see what I can push out Quote
