hey all

a few months after i had my tune done i started getting boost cut on high boost ( 19psi). it seems to spike quickly and cut out.

ive tried messing around with the profec by reducing gain raising the warning etc etc but its still causing a problem, the limit says max boost its hit is 1.53 bar. On low boost (around 12psi) it runs 100%

another note, tial runs a 0.9 spring.

any ideas.

the solenoid has to work pretty hard

to maintain the level between 0.9 and 1.53 bar

try and upgrade the spring, would give better control

i dont want to go to that trouble if i dont have to and the ebc shouldnt be hitting 1.5+, 19psi is only about 1.3 i think

he is running tial 38mm external gate on a TD06.

from our msn conversation, as soon as it relies on the EBC, it will over boost

Are you specifically stating that the profec B 2 is a spiking machine, or making a general across the board statement re boost controllers being unable to bring boost on without spiking when the boost is set higher than the spring rate?

neither

just trying to figure out why it's over boosting to about 1.5bar and hitting a boost cut when initially it was tuned at 1.3bar and was working fine for a few months.

the only thing I can suggest is to get it on a dyno and have another crack at tuning it. they can be hard to set up on the street just due to roads available, and speed limits etc. i had a little trouble getting mine perfect. 10 mins on the dyno and it was sorted.

its booked in for monday..

if its a problem with the tune i know the tuner will sort it out no charge but if its a ebc problem ill be up for the bill..

i tried upping the warning see if it was causing a problem but it did nothing.. seems like a typical spiking problem.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
