manual boost control install

[maserati mick]

True that bro not a very safe for high boost im keen to run max 15 -14.5 will put controller in tommorow and see what it do

[Kiwi_Fozze]

aiming for 15 you will be bouncing off your boost cut every time you floor it in 4th or 5th.

i set it for about 13-14psi around town, up to 3rd gear. long trips i turn it back about 4 clicks, tops out at about 12 psi until 4th, full car i'll hit the fuel cut in 5th.

pain in the arse, mount the controller somewhere easily accessible while driving, play with it. will take a while to get it fine tuned. one click can make a massive difference.

if running internal gate, i'd recommend putting the restricter pill in, don't know how it'll work on an external.

[LAZLO]

restricter pill goes crazy on external

[Kiwi_Fozze]

i'll keep that in mind if i ever go external, cheers laz

[WRXONP]

one bar is 14.5 lol so 14.9 is over :-p forgot about ecutek . . but i would forget it for that price lol you could put a old school link in for that

[maserati mick]

Goes ok but as you said the boost raises more in higher gears boostin 12 in first 14in secons and third and fourth no room to test 5th it only cut once turned it down after that . Its pretty much been set to the lowest posible setting right now closed it so its just slightly oprn will see how it goes on way to work

[LAZLO]

on the motorway uce lol

[Kiwi_Fozze]

if it goes ok in 4th it should be alright in 5th... try going up the bombay's, that'll tell you where it needs to be set...

[WRXONP]

why you pulling full boost in 5th any way ? i can get up Bombays with probably 3 to 5 Pound max in 5th ? hardly pressing throttle . . you hit speed cut in 4th so you don't need to boost 5th .? ?

[Kiwi_Fozze]

cruise up at 100 with your foot flat to build the boost. you are wanting to limit the boost to 14 ish psi under the hardest conditions, so it eliminates the chances of hitting fuel cut during normal use.

[WRXONP]

yeah but why on earth do you ever want to full boost 5th ? it puts allot of strain on the gear box at lower speeds as its a over driven gear ratio . . .

[Kiwi_Fozze]

set it in 5th so you have no issues in lower gears. kind of fail-saving yourself.

Trackdays au

[Kiwi_Fozze]

i'd re instate ecu control for trackday....

[WRXONP]

boosting 5th in track day?? lol what tracks that?? only place i think you would need 5th is the whole straight at taupo...

i never boost 5th ... dont like putting the load on the gearbox...

boost taps are garbage... they are so in consistent... you should just use hard spring in the external or a ebc....better yet a hard spring and ebc :)

[Kiwi_Fozze]

pukekohe back straight.

[Pappu1]

Hmmm that's only if he goes Track tho

If going there then I'm sure he will have Ebc etc installed an other supporting mods done

I was under Impression his tap setup was just for quick adjust and road use anyway

[WRXONP]

lol ...like i said... speed cut?? you can hit cut in 4th with 4.44 ratio... so why boost fifth??

at 100kph hit 3rd ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah

[maserati mick]

Lol ill leave it in for you this sunday you can have a demo brad farkin gets up to boogie very fast spool to 14 but will ditch for 1 bar ewg spring as mbc i find is a little dodgy

[WRXONP]

you have a 1 bar spring bro? you will spool way faster and controll allot better with a 1 bar spring over a soft 8 pound spring and bleed valve

[Kiwi_Fozze]

yeah, get that 1 pound spring in there... mbc prety dodgy aye.

[maserati mick]

Mbc just kinda feels like freeboost will put spring in this weekend so if anyones after a mbc hit me up

[WRXONP]

1 pound spring?

[Guest]

Brad- can you explain why you dont want to boost in 5th?
