I put a ProfecB SII On my car and have set it 0% in Low and Hi.

But it still boosts over 10psi according to the LCD screen, I have the start Boost at 0, and the Gain on 10%.

Before I fitted it it used to boost right on the middle notch of the factory gauge which I beleive is about 5-7psi.

If I set it 0% will this get me the lowest boost setting possible? I am trying to get 7psi in Low and 10-10.5psi in Hi!

The car is a R33 S2 auto and has stock motor and turbo but has 3inch exhaust, fmic and Apexi Power Intake.

Would the car be boosting higher due to the free flowing setup compared to standard?

Any Suggestions appreciated.

Dave.

if you want the lowest possible boost just turn it off. then make your hi boost either the lo or hi setting on the controller and just turn on the controller when you want higher boost. done. ;)

Yep thats what I do, turn it off and gets 7 psi, have set low to 10 psi and high to 13 psi.

pff thats no fun... try 10psi (for a little bit of traction in the wet)

14psi for chopping v8s at lights

and 19psi for tyre shreading no traction performance

lol

Hahaha and 25psi if u need an excuse for the misses to do an engine rebuild :dry:

Ok Ok, Just read the Tutorial, and if Im understanding it right, If i have everything set at zero and im still boosting to 12.5psi,thats the lowest I can go?

I've read that its not safe to do so on a stock S2 turbo! Could my actuator be stuffed??

I did already say it once, but i will say it again. the lowest you can go is with the controller turned off. turn it off and see what boost you get. that is your 'base boost'.

I also was fairly shocked with my low boost settings...

have it set to nothing and it sits on .5 bar under normal to medium driving.....however i found that under full acceleration it hit .9 bar......

so you car drive the car with the boost controller off?

cheers

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
