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.

    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
    • And now the bloody flapper is jammed slightly open. Lazy as all f**k in 3rd-5th (very hard to convince it to make much boost before you run out of revs), but will make 12 psi in 1st, which shouldb't be possible with a 5 psi spring and controller set to <10 psi. Methinks I'm lucky it jammed where it did, rather than fully closed. It's actually a well weird situation. Careful examination of what's happening in the back of that housing when the gearbox comes out and all the other stuff (injectors, AFM retune) is supposed to be done, next week.
